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

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.

cussion of questions of interest to students. The association

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
Registrar is not permitted to transfer credits until all out-
MILLSAPS COLLEGE 43
standing indebtedness to the college is paid in the Bursar's
office.
No student shall be allowed to graduate unless he shall
have settled with the Bursar's office all his indebtedness to
the college including graduation fee of $15.00 by May first
preceding the commencement.
Each student should bring with him four sheets for single
bed, blankets or quilts, a pillow with cases and six towels.

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.
MILLSAPS COLLEGE 55
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.
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

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.

56 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
Delinquency
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.
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.
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 second Monday 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
MILLSAPS COLLEGE 57
the books of the college and the rolls of their respective
classes. Lecture courses begin Wednesday, and absences will
be recorded against any student not present from the opening
lecture of each cours'e.
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 9. 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 knovrn 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.

I. DEPARTMENT OF ANCIENT LANGUAGES
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.

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.

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.

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.

XV. THE DEPARTMENT OF RELIGION
THE TATTJTVI FOUNDATION
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.

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.

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.
