MILLSAPS   COLLEGE  13 

THE  COLLEGE 

S  a  living  ideal  of  service,  Millsaps  College  draws  inspira- 
tion from  intangible  but  dramatic  beginnings. 


Almost  a  century  ago  a  lone  Mississippi  youth,  making 
a  slow  and  painful  journey  in  search  of  an  education  far  from 
the  scenes  of  his  birth,  dreamed  of  making  it  possible  for  the 
highest  type  of  Mississippi's  youth  to  secure  a  Christian  edu- 
cation within  the  Magnolia  State. 

Today  Millsaps  College  stands  in  Jackson,  product  of  a 
half-century  of  development,  as  the  concrete  realization  of 
that  dream  come  true.  Major  Reuben  W.  Millsaps,  its  found- 
er, lived  to  see  the  college  recognized  as  an  institution  deep- 
rooted  in  the  traditions  of  scholarship. 

With  material  and  inspirational  support  from  Major  Mill- 
saps, the  Mississippi  conferences  of  the  Methodist  church  re- 
solved in  1888  to  establish  a  college  for  men.  Four  years 
later,  with  four  professors  and  a  handful  of  students,  Millsaps 
opened  its  doors  in  the  City  of  Jackson.  Coeducation  was  in- 
stituted when  the  college  began  its  seventh  session. 

The  Rev.  W.  B.  Murrah,  of  the  North  Mississippi  confer- 
ence, launched  the  institution's  career  as  its  first  president. 
President  Murrah  and  the  executive  heads  who  followed  him 
after  he  became  a  Methodist  bishop  have  played  leading  roles 
in  making  the  institution  what  it  is. 

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- 
1938);  and  M.  L.  Smith,  Ph.D.,   (1938- ). 

Growth  of  the  college  has  been  consistent  and  healthy. 
For  the  first  2  5  years  attendance  was  almost  static,  fluctu- 
ating between  100  and  200.  Then  the  1920's  witnessed  the 
beginnings  of  a  steady  rise,  reaching  a  peak  during  the  1928- 
29  session.  The  enrollment  then  remained  between  400  and 
500  until  the  1938-39  session  when  it  reached  an  all-time 
high  of  609.     The  enrollment  for  1939-40  was  676. 

"No  finer  or  more  wholesome  young  people  were  ever 
assembled  in  any  college  community,"  in  the  words  of  a  re- 


14  MILLSAPS   COLLEGE 

cent  presidential  report  to  the  Methodist  conferences  of  Mis- 
sissippi. "They  have  made  the  reputation  of  Millsaps  and 
have  been  excelled  in  no  line  of  academic  endeavor.  Almost 
without  exception  they  have  found  a  place  of  useful  service. 
They  are  the  chief  outcome  of  Methodist  college  effort  in 
Mississippi." 

Pointing  out  that  the  value  of  a  college  such  as  Millsaps 
may  be  measured  by  the  subsequent  careers  of  those  it  trains, 
the  report  shows  that  an  overwhelming  proportion  of  those 
entering  the  Methodist  ministry  in  Mississippi  are  Millsaps 
graduates. 

"Not  only  through  Millsaps-trained  pastors,  but  also 
through  her  graduates  who  are  teaching  in  the  public  schools 
and  engaged  in  business  and  the  professions,  Millsaps  is  con- 
tributing to  the  highest  interests  of  church  and  state,"  con- 
tinues the  report.  "There  are  more  than  400  Millsaps  grad- 
uates and  many  more  former  students  teaching  in  state 
schools.  Most  of  the  more  than  1,500  graduates  are  now  liv- 
ing in  Mississippi." 

Looking  forward  to  a  Greater  Millsaps  in  recognition  of 
its  expanding  fields  of  service,  a  $400,000  endowment  drive 
was  begun  by  the  two  conferences  of  the  Methodist  church 
in  Mississippi  during  the  fall  of  1938.  College  needs  for 
which  funds  are  sought  include  an  endowment  increase, 
strengthening  of  the  library,  and  a  religion  and  fine  arts 
building.  This  movement  will  continue  until  19  42  when  Mill- 
saps celebrates  its  semi-centennial. 

A  keynote  to  the  spirit  of  Millsaps  College  was  recently 
struck  by  a  prominent  graduate  who  had  returned  to  the  cam- 
pus for  a  chapel  address.  He  paid  tribute  to  his  alma  mater 
as  an  institution  which  instills  in  its  students  "a  conception  of 
the  things  which  really  count — the  ultimate  values."  He 
added  that  "Millsaps  'goes  in  for'  the  things  which  widen  one's 
vision  .  .  .  which  enable  him  to  look  for  the  horizon  which 
others  have  not  yet  seen."

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  19  36.  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 


16  MILLSAPS   COLLEGE 

science  building  are  adequate,  the  equipment  is  new  and  up- 
to-date." 

Founders  Hall,  is  located  across  the  drive  from  the  li- 
brary. There  are  rooms  for  8  0  men.  On  the  ground  floor  is 
a  large  rest  and  recreation  room  and  an  apartment  occupied 
by  a  member  of  the  college  staff.  Burton  Hall  and  Galloway 
Hall  and  the  dining  hall  are  located  at  the  south  end  of  the 
campus.  Galloway  Hall  has  been  reserved  for  women  stu- 
dents. Its  elegant  reception  rooms  have  been  newly  equipped 
with  handsome  furnishings. 

The  new  dormitory  for  women  is  located  on  the  east 
campus  near  North  State  Street.  It  is  a  handsome  structure, 
thoroughly  modern,  and  gives  luxurious  accommodation  to 
forty-four  women  students. 

ENDOWMENT 

The  productive  endowment,  according  to  the  last  audit, 
amounted  to  $784,407.65.  In  addition  to  the  income  from  this 
endowment,  the  college  budget  receives  pro  rata  share  of  con- 
ference assessments  amounting  to  $6,800  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,  June  30,  193  9,  is  as  follows: 

Current   funds $  10,584.25 

Loan    funds    4,802.01 

Endowment    784,407.65 

Plant  funds   923,668.87

CARNEGIE-MILLSAPS  LIBRARY 

Near  the  close  of  the  19  05-06  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  unfortunate- 
ly 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  19  25- 
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  2  6,750  volumes  and 
receives  one  hundred  and  forty  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,   8-5,   6-9:30. 
Saturday,  8  to  1:15 

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 
material  related  to  this  subject  would  be  especially  valuable.

ful maturity  of  training.  Such  students  must  in  all  cases 
meet  the  specific  entrance  requirements,  as  prescribed  for  the 
courses  elected  by  them.  But  it  is  expressly  ordered  that  no 
special  student  shall  be  recognized  as  a  candidate  for  any  de- 
gree from  Millsaps  unless  he  shall  have  completed  all  entrance 
requirements  at  least  one  year  before  the  date  of  graduation. 

DEFINITION   OF   UNIT 

The  unit  in  the  following  estimate  (p.  38)  means  a  sub- 
ject of  study  pursued  in  an  academy  or  high  school  through  a 
session  of  nine  months  with  recitations  five  times  a  week,  an 
average  of  forty-five  minutes  being  devoted  to  each  recitation. 

SUBJECTS   ACCEPTED   FOR   ADMISSION 

The  subjects  accepted  for  admission  and  their  value  in 
units  are  given  in  tabulated  form  on  page  38.  The  applicant 
for  admission  may  enter  either  by  certificate  or  by  examina- 
tion. 

For  admission  by  certificate,  the  candidate  should  file 
with  the  registrar  of  the  college,  not  later  than  September  1, 
a  certificate  of  preparation,  made  out  on  a  blank  form  fur- 
nished by  the  state  high  school  inspector  to  the  principal  of 
the  high  school.  This  certificate  must  come  from  some  recog- 
nized institution  of  collegiate  rank,  or  an  accredited  high 
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  grade.  In  the  scientific  course  two  hours  of  lab- 
oratory instruction  will  be  counted  as  the  equivalent  of  one 
hour  recitation.  Certificate  of  preparation  from  private  tutors 
will  in  no  case  be  accepted.  Students  thus  prepared  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.

on  either  the  yearly  or  semester  plan  of  payment. 

Students  who  have  been  licensed  by  the  conferences  to 
make  preparation  for  service  in  the  ministry  will  be  charged 
tuition  at  the  regular  rate,  but  will  be  allowed  to  sign  tuition 
notes  wliich  will  be  cancelled  after  four  years'  service  in  the 
ministry.  Should  the  student  renounce  his  pursuit  of  the 
ministry  the  tuition  notes  would  become  due  and  payable  at 
once. 

PURPOSE  AND  DISTRIBUTION  OP  THE  STUDENT 
ACTIVITIES  FEE 

The  student  activities  fee  of  $15.00  paid  by  a  student  at 
the  beginning  of  each  year  is  distributed  among  different  or- 
ganizations existing  on  the  campus.  The  distribution  of  this 
fee  is  at  the  suggestion  of  the  Student  Executive  Board. 

The  Athletic  Association  receives  60%  of  this  amount 
and  other  remaining  organizations  receive  40%.  For  the 
amount  the  Athletic  Association  receives,  the  student  is  given 
a  season  ticket  to  all  athletic  contests  held  during  the  year 
and  is  granted  permission  to  use  the  gym  and  other  athletic 
facilities.     The  other  part  of  the  amount  allotted  to  the  Ath- 


42  MILLSAPS   COLLEGE 

letic  Association  goes  to  buy  necessary  equipment.  The  re- 
maining 40%  of  the  student  activities  fee  is  distributed  among 
organizations  such  as  the  Y.M.C.A.,  Y.W.C.A.,  The  Student 
Association,  Debate  Clubs,  Band,  Glee  Club,  Dramatics,  Pur- 
ple &  White,  Bobashela,  "M"  Club,  and  The  Woman's  Asso- 
ciation. That  part  of  the  fee  assigned  the  Bobashela  is  in 
part  payment  on  the  student  year  book.  To  insure  a  bigger 
and  better  year  book,  the  student  body  voted  to  turn  over 
the  contingent  fee,  heretofore  charged,  to  the  Bobashela, 
thereby  increasing  the  appropriation  by  $2.00.  This  enables 
all  students  paying  regular  fees  to  secure  a  year  book  for  only 
fifty  cents  additional.  The  portion  designated  for  The  Pur- 
ple &  White  gives  each  student  a  year's  subscription  to  the 
college  weekly  paper. 

REGULATIONS  AS  TO  PAYMENTS 
All  fees  are  due  and  payable  at  the  opening  of  school. 
Tuition  and  room  rent  may  be  paid  for  the  year  in  advance 
at  a  reduction  or  may  be  paid  by  the  semester  in  advance. 
Board  is  strictly  cash  in  advance  and  is  taken  care  of  by  the 
use  of  $15.00  meal  books  purchased  on  the  basis  of  a  mini- 
mum of  one  book  per  month  for  nine  months. 

No  refund  on  fees  will  be  made.  But,  if  a  student  ma- 
triculates and  for  a  good  reason,  is  not  able  to  attend  classes, 
all  fees  will  be  refunded  except  a  matriculation  fee  of  $10.00. 
In  case  of  unavoidable  withdrawal  after  classes  have  begun, 
if  approved  by  the  President  and  Bursar  of  the  college,  tui- 
tion and  room  rent  will  be  charged  only  for  the  time  actually 
spent  in  school  at  rate  of  one-eighth  yearly  rate  for  room  and 
tuition  for  each  month  or  fraction  thereof  spent  in  school. 
Except  in  case  of  such  withdrawal  from  school,  rooms  will 
not  be  rented  for  less  than  one  semester,  and  no  refund  will 
be  made  for  dormitory  rooms  vacated  in  midst  of  semester. 
The  student's  withdrawal  from  the  college  will  be  counted  as 
occurring  on  the  day  he  presents  to  the  business  office  a  drop 
card  secured  from  the  Dean  or  Registrar's  office. 

All  accounts  due  for  any  preceding  semester  must  be  paid 
before  a  student  will  be  enrolled  for  the  next  semester.  The

which  all  students  must  take.  Other  courses  are  elective  with 
the  student,  up  to  the  required  number.  Ministerial  students 
follow  pre-theological  course. 


MILLSAPS   COLLEGE  49 

Social  Science. — Students  majoring  in  Social  Science 
should  include  at  least  one  full  year  course  each  in  Economics, 
Political  Science,  and  Sociology,  History  11-12,  and  six  addi- 
tional hours  of  History.  In  addition,  Religion  31  is  recom- 
mended. 

IVUNORS 

In  addition  to  the  requirement  that  a  student  must  take 
twenty-four  semester  hours  in  one  subject,  he  will  be  required 
to  take  twelve  additional  hours  within  the  same  group  of  sub- 
jects. The  dean  may  waive  this  requirement  for  any  stu- 
dent. 

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. 

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  "r'fequires 
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 
Monday  of  September  and  continues  for  thirty-six  weeks. 
Thanksgiving  Day  is  a  holiday,  there  is  a  Christmas  recess 
of  about  ten  days,  and  a  spring  recess. 

Attendance  is  required  of  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.  If  a  student  is  absent  twelve  times 
in  a  *«i-hour  course,  or  a  proportionate  number  in  a  course 
ving  other  credit,  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  physi- 
cian's 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. 


MILLSAPS   COLLEGE  51 

CHAPEL  ATTENDANCE 

Attendance  upon  chapel  is  required  of  all  students  one 
day  each  week.  All  freshmen  are  required  to  attend  chapel 
on  one  additional  day  during  the  first  semester.  A  student 
who  is  absent  from  chapel  three  times  in  a  semester  will  be 
called  before  the  advisory  committee. 

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. 

REMEDIAL  ENGLISH 
I.  A  Committee  on  Remedial  English  shall  consist  of: 

1.  A  chairman,  designated  by  the  president,  to  devote  a 
part  or  all  of  his  time  to  the  duties  of  the  position. 

2.  Three  other  members  representing  equally  the  three 
divisions  of  the  College. 

II.   The  duties  of  the  committee  shall  be: 

1.  To  confer  with  the  chairman  at  any  time  that  he  re- 
quests advice  and  authority  in  conduction  of  his  duties. 

2.  To  supervise  in  general  the  students'  use  of  English. 

3.  To  examine,  through  the  chairman,  all  student  com- 
positions and  papers  presented  for  inspection. 

4.  To  administer  the  work  of  remedial  English. 

III.   Tlie  powers  of  the  committee  shall  be  as  follows: 

1.  To  request  at  any  time  from  any  faculty  member  any 
or  all  term  papers,  reports,  quizzes,  or  examinatioiffi 
for  study  in  determining  what  students  are  deficient 
in  the  use  of  correct  English. 

2.  To  request  at  any  time  from  any   faculty  member  an 


52  MILLSAPS  COLLEGE 

expression  of  that  faculty  member's  opinion  on  the 
use  of  English  of  any  student  then  in  his  classes,  and 
to  ask  the  co-operation  of  that  faculty  member  in  as- 
sisting the  student  to  remedy  his  deficiency  by  such 
means  as  the  committee,  the  chairman,  and  the  fac- 
ulty member  may  deem  wise. 
3.  To  request  the  instructor  to  give  a  grade  of  "cc" 
(comp.  condition)  to  any  student  in  any  course  in 
which  the  committee  has  found  that  student  to  be  de- 
ficient in  the  use  of  English.  This  "cc"  will  be  re- 
moved when  that  student  has  satisfied  the  committee, 
the  chairman,  and  the  instructor  consulted  by  the  com- 
mittee, that  he  has  removed  the  deficiency  in  the  use 
of  English. 

IV.  The  method  of  remedying  the  student's  deficiency  shall  be 
left  largely  to  the  discretion  of  the  chairman  and  the 
committee,  by  one  of  the  two  following  methods: 

1.  To  require  any  student  who  is  found  deficient  in  Eng- 
lish to  take  a  prescribed  course  in  remedial  English;  or 

2.  To  require  that  student  to  do  work  especially  and  per- 
sonally designed  by  the  chairman  to  relieve  the  indi- 
vidual student's  own  peculiar  difficulties  in  the  use  of 
English. 

V.  Each  member  of  the  teaching  staff  shall  continue: 

1.  To  require  that  his  students  strive  to  improve  in  the 
use  of  correct  English. 

2.  To  submit  at  any  time  to  the  committee  evidence  con- 
cerning any  student  whose  use  of  English  is  defective 
in  his  or  any  other  class. 

GRADING  SYSTEM 

All  marks  are  made  on  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  regu- 
larly prescribed  work  of  the  class.  "B"  represents  above  the 
average  achievement  in  the  regularly  prescribed  work.  "C" 
represents  the  average  achievement  of  the  class  in  the  regu- 


MILLSAPS  COLLEGE  5S 

larly  prescribed  work.  "D"  represents  a  level  of  achievement 
In  the  regularly  prescribed  work  of  the  class  below  the  aver- 
age in  the  same  relationship  as  the  grade  of  "B"  is  above  the 
average.  "E"  repi'esents  a  condition  and  may  be  changed  to 
a  "D"  if  the  grade  in  the  other  semester  of  the  course  is  "C" 
or  above.  "P"  represents  failure  to  do  the  regularly  pre- 
scribed work  of  the  class.  All  marks  of  "D"  and  above  are 
passing  marks  and  "F"  represents  failure. 

The  following  are  semester  unit  courses.  First  semester 
grades  cannot  be  averaged  with  those  of  the  second. 

Biology  41,  42,  51,  52,  61,  62,  71,  72. 

Economics  41,  42,  61,  62,  71,  72,  91,  92. 

Education,  all  courses. 

English  41,  42,  51,  52,  71,  72,  91,  92,  101. 

Greek  11,  12. 

History  31,  32. 

Latin  31,  32,  41,  42,  51,  61,  62. 

Mathematics,  all  courses. 

Physics  61,  62. 

Psychology,  all  courses. 

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 


54  MILLSAPS   COLLEGE 

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 
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  53. 

In  determining  honors  and  high  honors,  and  all  other 
awards  based  on  scholarship,  a  quality  index  is  arrived  at  by 
dividing  the  number  of  quality  points  by  the  number  of  se- 
mester hours  taken. 

HOURS   PERMITTED 

Fifteen  academic  semester  hours  is  considered  the  nor- 
mal load  per  semester. 

No  student  may  take  more  than  seventeen  semester  hours 
of  academic  work  unless  he  has  a  quality  index  of  1.5  on 
the  latest  previous  college  term  or  semester.  No  student 
may  take  more  than  nineteen  semester  hours  of  academic 
work  unless  he  has  a  quality  point  index  of  2.  on  the  latest 
previous  college  term  or  semester,  and  obtains  permission 
from  the  Dean. 

Any  student  who  is  permitted  to  take  more  than  seven- 
teen semester  hours  of  academic  work  will  be  required  to 
pay  at  the  rate  of  $5.00  for  each  additional  semester  hour 
over  seventeen. 

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.

in  the  enforcement  of  this  regulation. 

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  room  rent  and  tuition  will  be  returned.

PROFESSOR  HAMILTON 

PROFESSOR  CURRIE 

ASSISTANT  PROFESSOR  COULLET 

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.

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,

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  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

12.  Historical  Geology. — In  addition  to  general  historical 
geology,  some  attention  will  be  given  to  economic  prod- 
ucts and  to  paleontology.  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  that  is  quite  varied  in  geological  character.  Oc- 
casionally a  week's  leave  of  absence  is  granted  for  trips

ASSOCIATE   PROFESSOR  WHARTON 

INSTRUCTOR   RICKETTS 

In  the  courses  in  History  two  things  will  be  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.  Histoi-y  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 
relation  of  our  problems  to  those  of  other  nations  with 
which  we  must  deal.  Three  hours  credit.  First  semes-

"The  chief  end  of  mathematics  is  thought,  not  routine — 
natural  thought,  exercising  the  powers  of  the  thinker  in  an 
unforced,  interesting  manner,  not  a  forced  and  convulsive 
struggle  for  what  is  beyond  grasp." — (Young).

XI.     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  ancient  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. 

Students  who  have  not  studied  physics  are  badly  handi- 
capped in  the  understanding  of  philosophy.  It  is  highly  to 
be  desired  that  such  students  prepare  themselves  for  these 
courses  by  studying  a  text  of  physics  of  at  least  high  school 
grade.

jor thinkers  from  Thales  to  Plotinus,  with  emphasis  on 
the  systems  of  Plato  and  Aristotle.  The  medieval  period

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.

ship  and  field  tactics,  and  numerous  other  Important  items 
will  be  given  consideration. 

In  baseball,  individual  play  and  team  play  will  be  taken 
up  in  detail.  Offense  and  defense  will  be  thoroughly  dis- 
cussed; also  batting,  base  running,  position  play,  strategy,  etc. 

Basketball  will  include  such  topics  as  goal  throwing, 
passing,  guarding,  dribbling,  blocking,  plays  from  center  and 
plays  from  out  of  bounds.  Various  styles  of  offense  and  de- 
fense will  be  discussed.

PROFESSOR  BULLOCK 
ASSISTANT    PROFESSOR    THOMAS 

The  courses  In  this  department  are  offered  for  the  con- 
tribution they  malfe  to  Christian  living  and  genuine  culture, 
rather  than  for  any  special  professional  interest  such  as  the 
ministry  or  other  Christian  life-service.  These  special  inter- 
ests are  not  neglected,  but  the  department  seeks  primarily  to 
meet  the  urgent  need  of  the  Church  for  an  effective  leader- 
ship 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  Methodist  Boards  of  Education, 
teach  Short  Term  Training  Courses  in  the  Mississippi  Meth- 
odist conferences  during  the  summer.  This  department  glad- 
ly cooperates  in  preparing  students  for  this  important  service 
to  the  Church. 

Religion  11  and  12,  providing  an  introduction  to  the 
Bible  and  some  insight  into  the  meaning  of  the  Christian  re- 
ligion, is  required  of  all  students  in  either  the  freshman  or 
the  sophomore  year.  Other  than  Religion  11  and  12,  both  of 
which  must  be  taken,  any  single  semester  course  may  be  tak- 
en. Prerequisites  for  any  given  course  may  be  waived  under 
special  circumstances  upon  the  consent  of  the  professor. 

Majors  should  plan  their  course  of  study  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  seek  to  build  a  broad  cultural  foundation 
for  their  professional  training  in  a  school  of  theology.  All 
ministerial  students  should  plan  their  course  in  accordance 
with  the  pre-theological  curriculum  available  upon  application 
to  the  Department  of  Religion. 

11.  Introductoi'y  Bible. — An  introduction  to  the  necessary

AND  GOVERNMENT 

ASSOCIATE  PROFESSOR  WHARTON 
INSTRUCTOR  RICKETTS 

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.

of  Music  is  an  integral  part  of  the  city's  magnificent  educa- 
tional and  cultural  system  and  makes  its  contribution  to  this

have  splendid  opportunities  of  hearing  some  of  the  world's 
renowned  musicians  who  are  brought  to  Jackson  under  the

MILLSAPS   COLLEGE  121 

Musical  Attractions 

Music  facilities  available  to  Millsaps  students  are  of  the 
highest  order.  The  concert  season  which  begins  during  the 
fall  term  and  closes  in  late  spring  includes  performances  by 
world-famous  musicians.  During  the  past  seasons  Millsaps 
students  were  privileged  to  hear  such  great  artists  as  Albert 
Spalding,  Rose  Bampton,  Rudolph  Ganz,  Nino  Martini,  Percy 
Grainger,  and  Jeanette  MacDonald.  The  San  Carlo  Opera  Com- 
pany, the  Mordkin  Ballet,  the  Don  Cossack  Chorus,  the  Jooss 
Ballet,  the  Saint  Louis  Symphony,  were  also  included  in  the 
list  of  attractions  presented.  The  Millsaps  Special  Committee 
on  Artists  Series  is  making  every  effort  to  secure  the  world's 
outstanding  talent.  The  19  40-19  41  concert  series  will  in- 
clude Nelson  Eddy,  Joseph  Szigeti,  violinist,  and  the  famous 
Westminister  Choir,  chosen  by  Toscanini  to  fulfill  the  vocal 
assignments  in  connection  with  the  NBC  Symphonic  Concerts 
under  his  direction.  Student  admission  to  this  series  of  con- 
certs is  reasonable  and  attractive  due  to  the  financial  coopera- 
tion of  the  college  administration. 

Recitals  and  Radio  Programs 

Opportunities  for  appearance  in  recital  in  Murrah  Plall, 
the  main  auditorium  in  the  college  building  will  be  given  to 
all  students.  Radio  programs  offer  to  those  qualified  to  ap- 
pear in  them  a  very  valuable  experience.  Participation  in  the 
college  orchestra  and  chorus,  give  further  performing  experi- 
ence. 

Music  Study  Club 

The  Beethoven  Club  of  Millsaps  College  offers  attractive 
and  helpful  features  in  the  community  life  of  the  musical  stu- 
dents. The  club  brings  noted  artists  to  the  campus  to  hold 
master  classes  and  give  concerts.  Some  of  the  artists  who 
have  been  here  under  the  club  auspices  are  Isabel  and  Silvio 
Scionti,  Rudolph  Ganz,  and  Percy  Grainger. 

Courses  of  Study 

The  curricula  of  the  School  of  Music  are  divided  into 
classifications,  as  follows:  Preparatory,  Intermediate,  Col- 
lege. 


122  MILLSAPS   COLLEGE 

There  are  no  requirements  for  admission  into  the  pre- 
paratory department. 

Students  are  promoted  to  the  intermediate  division  upon 
completion  of  the  work  of  the  preparatory  department. 

Candidates  for  a  certificate,  diploma  or  degree  must  meet 
the  regular  college  entrance  requirements,  viz:  graduation 
from  an  approved  high  school,  or  a  minimum  of  fifteen  units 
of  high  school  work. 

Students  may  also  be  admitted  to  advanced  standing  in 
the  course  on  the  presentation  of  a  satisfactory  transcript  of 
record  of  work  pursued  in  an  accredited  music  school  of  col- 
lege grade. 

A  maximum  of  thirty  semester-hours  of  credit  may  be 
secured  through  examinations,  by  students  who  have  had  work 
subsequent  to  high  school  graduation  under  competent  pri- 
vate instructors.  Examinations  for  advanced  standing  must 
be  taken  and  the  grades  must  be  recorded  in  the  Registrar's 
office,  within  six  weeks  of  the  student's  registration  at  Mill- 
saps  School  of  Music. 

No  student  will  be  granted  a  certificate  or  degree  un- 
less the  residence  requirement  has  been  met.  Residence  may 
be  established  by  a  year  of  study  (minimum  of  thirty-six 
weeks)  in  which  at  least  24  semester  hours  have  been  earned 
toward  the  last  thirty  hours  for  a  degree.  A  six  weeks'  sum- 
mer session  may  be  accepted  as  the  equivalent  of  a  quarter 
of  a  year  provided  the  student  earns  six  semester  hours  dur- 
ing that  period. 

Credit  in  applied  music  is  based  on  the  hours  of  practice, 
one  semester  hour  for  each  three  hours  per  week  of  practice, 
plus  the  necessary  individual  instruction,  with  a  limit  of  six 
semester  hours  per  semester.  Credit  is  not  earned  unless 
final  examinations  are  passed. 

Special  students  are  admitted  without  reference  to  en- 
trance requirements,  but  no  credit  toward  degree  is  allowed 
to  such  students.  However,  special  students  who  can  satisfy 
entrance  requirements  and  who  desire  credit  for  such  work 


MILLSAPS   COLLEGE  123 

as  they  may  take  are  subject  to  the  same  examinations  and 
regulations  as  full  course  students.  All  credits  earned  are 
entered  on  the  school  records  and  may  be  used  toward  cre- 
dentials at  a  later  time,  should  the  students  eventually  be- 
come candidates  for  graduation. 

The  requirements  for  entrance  and  for  graduation  in  the 
Millsaps  School  of  Music  are  in  accordance  with  the  published 
regulations  of  the  National  Association  of  Schools  of  Music. 

A  maximum  of  twenty-four  semester-hours  in  the  School 
of  Music  may  be  credited  toward  the  degree  of  Bachelor  of 
Arts  or  Bachelor  of  Science. 

Regular  hours  of  practice  are  assigned  to  each  student  by 
the  Director  of  the  School  of  Music.  The  number  of  hours 
of  daily  practice  depends  upon  the  classification  of  students. 
Of  B.Mus.  students  with  Piano,  Violin  as  major  subject,  three 
hours  and  a  half  daily  practice  are  required  in  their  fresh- 
man and  sophomore  years  and  four  hours  daily  in  junior  and 
senior  years;  with  Voice  as  the  major  subject,  two  hours  daily 
practice  are  required  in  their  freshman,  sophomore  and  jun- 
ior years  and  three  hours  in  their  senior  year.  Of  all  other 
classifications  of  students,  one  hour  and  a  half  or  two  hours 
of  daily  practice  Is  required.
