FOREWORD
Experience indicates that those who examine college cata-
logs are usually interested primarily in finding the answers to
the following questions :
(1) What is the general nature, type, and standing of the college ?
(2) What are the requirements for admission?
(3) What is the cost of attending the college and what oppor-
tunities are available for earning part of these expenses?
(4) What subjects of study are provided and what are the re-
quirements for graduation?
(5) What rules does a student have to follow while attending the
college ?
(6) What other activities are provided outside the classroom?
(7) What physical equipment and financial resources does the
college have?
In order to make this catalog easier to read, we have tried
to arrange it so as to answer these questions in logical order. The
first two questions, which are of concern primarily to prospec-
tive students, are answered in Part I, The other questions are
covered successively in Parts II-VI, as shown in the Table of
Contents on the opposite page. In Part VII we have given the
necessary information with regard to the trustees, officers, and
faculty, and have listed the names of other staff personnel and
of the members of the student body.
This catalog is primarily a record of the 1954-55 session of
the college. The academic calendar of the 1955-56 session will be
found in the back.

"To be at home in all lands and ages ; to count
Nature a familiar acquaintance and Art a familiar
friend ; to gain a standard for the appreciation of
other men's work and the criticism of one's own ;
to make friends among men and women of one's
own age who are to be leaders in all walks of life ;
to lose one's self in generous enthusiasm and to co-
operate with others for common ends ; to learn
manners from students who are gentlemen and
gentlewomen, and to form character under pro-
fessors who are Christian — these are the returns
of a college for the best four years of one's life."

8 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
MILLSAPS COLLEGE
is a thuich-rolated college
under the joint care and control of the Mississippi and North Missis-
sippi Conferences of the Methodist Church. The college is nonsectarian
but devoutly Christian. During the 19 54-5 5 session it numbered in its
student body members of seventeen denominations and in its faculty mem-
bers of four denominations. It is dedicated to the idea that education
is an integral part of the Christian religion, that religion is a vital part
of education, and that church-related colleges, providing a sound educa-
tional program in a Christian environment, afford a special type of train-
ing and influence which no other institution can offer. The existence
side by side of educational institutions related to the church, the state,
and private agencies, each with its own functions to perform, is not only
evidence of democracy in our educational system, but is also the best
possible guarantee of the preservation of democracy in our civilization.
is a small coIlep;e
with enrollment limited to 800 students. The close personal relation-
ship that exists among students, faculty, and administration in the small
college is one of the most vital parts of the college experience.
is a co-educational college
with an enrollment approximately two-thirds men and one-third
women. Boys and girls study together throughout grammar school and
high school. Men and women work together throughout later life. They
study and work together at Millsaps.
is a liberal arts college
with the primary aim of training its students for responsible citizen-
ship and well-rounded lives rather than for narrow professional careers.
One of the chief curses of our modern society is that so many of our
people are expert lawyers, or doctors, or business men, or brick layers,
without at the same time being good citizens. More than any other
institution, the liberal arts college can remedy this defect by training
its students, in whatever field of specialization they may choose, to be
community leaders in i-esponsible citizenship.
offers professional and pre-professional training
balanced by cultural and disciplinary studies. The college recognizes
that in the modern world training which will enable a person to support
himself adequately is an essential part of a well-rounded education. There-
fore, the student at Millsaps can, for example, obtain the necessary courses
to prepare him directly for a business career or for service in education,
the ministry, or social work; he can study music as preparation for pro-
fessional work in the field, as well as for its esthetic and cultural value;
he can become proficient in shorthand and typewriting while at the same
time studying language and literature; and he can obtain thoroughly
sound basic courses which will prepare him for professional study in
medicine, dentistry, law, and other fields. Professional leaders in all
fields are coming more and more to recognize that the most valuable
members of their profession are those who have had something more in
their background of training than the narrow technical study necessary
for proficiency in that field.
AIILLSAPS COLLEGE 9
selects its students carefully
not on the basis of ability to pay or previous opportunities or cbarm
of personality, but on ability to tbink. desire to learn, good moral character,
and intellectual maturity. The primary consideration in acting on all
applications for admission is the ability to do college work in a measure
satisfactory to the college and beneficial to the student. Tuition is kept
low enough to make higher education available to all, but an attempt
is made to keep admission requirements high enough to exclude those
who cannot profit from it.
has a cosHiopolitan student body
representing a wide geographical area. During the 19 5-1--5.") session
sixteen states and five foreign countries were represented in the stu-
dent body. It is the policy of the college to encourage by scholarships and
otherwise the attendance of foreign students, because of the mutual
contribution this can make to international good will and understanding.
is ideally located
in the capital city of the state. Many educational advantages may
be found in Jackson in addition to the courses offered at the college.
The State Department of Archives and History, the State Library, the
Library of the State Department of Health, and the Jackson Public
Library provide research facilities found nowhere else in the state. The
Jackson Symphony Orchestra, Jackson Little Theater, The Jackson Opera
Guild, Inc., and numerous musical, dramatic, and sporting events staged at
the City Auditorium add materially to the cultural advantages available to
the student.

12 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
HOW TO APPLY FOR ADMISSION
All persons not in residence at Millsaps during the preceding regular
semester must apply to the Admissions Committee and be accepted prior
to registration for the fall and spring semesters.
A prospective student should apply for admission well in advance of
the date on which he wishes to enter, particularly if housing accommoda-
tions on the campus are desired. The Admissions Committee begins act-
ing on applications for the fall semester in February and on applications
for the spring semester in November.
In applying for admission a prospective student should follow the
procedure described below:
1. He should request an application blank from the Dean, who is chair-
man of the Admissions Committee.
2. He should fill out this application blank and return it to the Dean.
3. He should have a letter of recommendation sent to the Dean by an
appropriate official of the school or schools he has previously attend-
ed, attesting to his character and ability.
4. He should have his high school principal or college registrar send an
official transcript of his credits directly to the Dean. A separate
transcript is required from every secondary school or college attended,
even though credits previously earned are Included on the transcript
from the school last attended. A student who has already earned some
college credit, however, need not have a separate transcript of his
high school credits sent if these are included on his college tran-
script.
If the prospective student is in school at the time he applies for ad-
mission, he should have a transcript sent showing his credits up to that
time. If he is accepted, a supplementary transcript will be required later
showing the completion of his work.
COUNSELING PROGRAM
The fundamental objective of all counseling services is to assist each
student to be ready and able to accomplish maximum success in his aca-
demic work. Consequently, every member of the college community par-
ticipates in counseling, and specialists from the community are used as
referral resources when the nature of a student's problem requires highly
specialized therapy. Basically, the divisions of the counseling prograra
are as follows:
1. Faculty Advisers
Each new student at Millsaps is assigned to a member of the faculty
who serves as the adviser for that student with respect to his aca-
demic program. At the time a student chooses his major field
of study, his major professor automatically becomes his faculty
adviser.
2 . Orientation
All new students (freshmen and transfers) are expected to be on the
campus by 11:00 A. M. on September 5, 1955, to participate in the
MILLSAPS COLLEGE 13
orientation program. Tliis program is developed and executed co-
operatively by students and faculty for the purpose of assisting stu-
dents to be adequately prepared for entering fully into the follege
program.
3. Pre-Registration Counseling
In order to assist new and prospective students to plan wisely in
looking toward their college careers, the college will provide coun-
seling services to any prospective student who may desire to ex-
plore his vocational and educational objectives before he enters his
classes in the fall semester.
4 . Personal Counseling
Particular attention is given by the Dean of Students and the Dean
of Women to counseling students on such matters as vocational
choice, selection of fields of study, study skills, reading skills, emo-
tional adjustment, and similar typical college student problems.
5 . Testing
Each student entering Millsaps takes part in the entrance testing
program, which is designed to provide information that will assist
the professional counseling staff to work effectively Avith him in
planning his program and activities at the college. In addition, any
student registered in the college has available to him individual
testing services to assist him in self-analysis and planning in terms
of his individual aptitudes, interests, and personality characteristics.
STUDENT HOUSING
The housing program of the college is coordinated by the Dean of
Students and the Dean of Women in cooperation with the dormitory
housemothers, counselors, and managers. All out-of-town students are
expected to reside in the college housing facilities, unless they have re-
ceived permission through the Office of Student Personnel to live in ap-
proved off-campus housing. Students who desire to live with relatives
or friends while attending Millsaps must make this a matter of record
in the Office of Student Personnel.
Men students live in our three men's halls — Galloway. Burton, and
Woollard — or in fraternity houses. Women students live in our three
women's halls — Founders, Whitworth, and Sanders. All lieginning fresh-
men who are not residents of Jackson are required to live in the college
dormitories during the entire first semester. No first-semei^ter freshmen
are permitted to live in fraternity houses. Any men or women students
whose homes are in Jackson may live in the dormitories if space is avail-
able, but will be placed only after out-of-town students have been assigned.
Since no room deposit is required of applicants who liave been ac-
cepted, room assignments are made in the order in which students' $10.00
classroom reservation fees have been received. If any student indicates a
specific preference for a particular room or dormitory, he will be assigned
to that space if it has not been taken previously by some one whose eligi-
14 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
bility for the room entitles him to it. Students desiring to room together
should make every effort to forward their reservation fees at the same
time and specify their desire to room together.
After notification of room assignment, a student must accept or re-
ject the assignment in writing within two weeks of the notification. Room
rent cannot be refunded after the semester has begun.
DINING FACILITIES
Boarding students eat their meals in the Galloway cafeteria. This
dining room is under expert supervision and furnishes wholesome food at
moderate rates. Board must be paid in the Business Office. Students
rooming in fraternity houses are considered boarding students. The col-
lege grill also is available for snacks and quick orders.
STUDENT HEALTH PROGRAM
The infirmary, centrally located on the campus and supervised by a
registered nurse, is available to all resident students. The services of the
college physician are available through the infirmary. Students with
minor illnesses are cared for in the infirmary, while any students having
major illnesses or needing hospital services return home or are referred
to one of the local hospitals for treatment on a private-patient basis. In
connection with the college program of preventive medicine, each new stu-
dent is required to have his family physician complete and mail in a health
record and physical examination form. This form is a required part of
the registration procedure.

SPECIAL STUDENTS
A special student is one who takes less than twelve semester hours of
work for college credit or one who has already received a baccalaureate
degree. Special students pay the following tuition rates plus any labora-
tory fees involved.
/
Tuition per semester hour:
1 to 11 semester hours inclusive, per hour $13.00
12 or more semester hours Full tuition and fees
Students taking only music or art private lessons for college credit
must pay a registration fee of $5 for each course plus the special fees for
the courses taken. No other charge.
EXCESS HOURS
The normal student load is five subjects with either physical educa-
tion or extra-curricular activities making a maximum of seventeen hours.
Students registering for courses in excess of seventeen hours will be
charged $7.50 for each additional hour per semester.
NON-RESIDENT OR OUT-OF-STATE STUDENTS
Tuition for non-resident or out-of-state students will be the custo-
mary tuition plus $1.00 per semester hour. The low tuition at Millsaps Col-
lege is possible in part because of the annual contributions of the two
Methodist Conferences in Mississippi. It seems only fair, therefore, that
students from other states wishing to utilize the educational facilities
which these contributions help to provide should be asked to pay this ad-
ditional amount above the regular tuition.
Clarification of non-resident status: Students under twenty-one
years of age use the legal residence of their families. Married students
and students twenty-one years or over use the legal residence of their
parents or guardians, or their legal residence immediately prior to regis-
tration in a school in Mississippi. Children of parents stationed outside
Mississippi but understood to be primarily residents or citizens of this
state may be classified as residents.
Aliens are classified as non-residents.
REVISION OP CHARGES
Millsaps College reserves the privilege of changing any or all
charges at any time without prior notice.
MILLSAPS COLLEGE 19
FINANCIAL REGULATIONS
PAYMENTS. — All charges are due and payable at the opening of

ment has been made in the Business Office or satisfactory financial ar-
rangements have been made with the Business Manager of the college.
Any accounts due for any preceding semester must be paid before a
student will be enrolled for the succeeding semester. The Registrar is not
permitted to transfer credits until all outstanding indebtedness to the
college is paid.
No student will be allowed to graduate unless he shall have settled
with the Business Office all his indebtedness to the college, including the
graduation fee.
VETERANS' PAYMENTS. — Veterans attending school under Public
Laws 16, 346, or 894, will pay only the charges for room rent and board.
All other expenses will be borne directly by the Federal Government.

the same tuition and fees as regular students. The government will re-
imburse them by monthly payments.

9. Comprehensive Examinations:
Before receiving a bachelor's degree the student must pass a satis-
factory comprehensive examination in his major field of study. This ex-
amination is given in the senior year and is intended to cover subject mat-
ter greater in scope than a single course or series of courses. The purpose
of the comprehensive examination is to coordinate the class work with in-
dependent reading and thinking in such a way as to relate the knowledge
acquired and give the student a general understanding of the field which
could not be acquired from individual courses.
Regularly scheduled conferences between department heads and stu-
dents majoring in the department will be held throughout the senior year.
The comprehensive examination requires at least three hours and is part
written and part oral, the division of time between the two to be at the
discretion of the members of the department concerned. The oral exam-
ination will be conducted by a committee composed of members of the
department, and, if desired by the department, one or more members of
the faculty from other departments or other qualified persons.
A student may take the comprehensive examination only if the courses
on which he has credit and in which he is currently enrolled complete the
MILLSAPS COLLEGE
31
requirements in the major department. He may take the examination in
the spring semester if he will be within 21 hours of graduation by the end
of that semester. In cases of necessity, the examination will be given in De-
cember or January for students who meet the other requirements and who
will not be in residence at Millsaps during the spring semester.
The time of the comprehensive examination given in the spring semes-
ter is the first week in May of each year. Comprehensive examinations will
not be given during the summer except by permission of the Dean.
Those who fail a comprehensive examination may have an opportunity
to take another examination after the lapse of two months. If the student
fails the second comprehensive, he may not have another until he has
taken at least one additional semester's work in Millsaps College.
COURSES REQUIRED FOR REGULAR STUDENTS
A regular student will be required to enroll for English, Mathematics,
and Foreign Language each year until he has completed the degree re-
quirements in these subjects. This rule does not apply to the summer ses-
sion, or to students entering the second semester if the appropriate courses
are not offered at that time.

*If Latin or Greek is taken to meet the foreign language require-
ment. Speech 11 and Biology 101 (Hygiene) may be substituted for Mathe-
matics, but this will make it necessary for the student to take six hours of
Geology, Chemistry, or Physics rather than three. This should be taken
in the Sophomore year, which will leave room for a three-hour elective
in the Junior year.
**If the student has credit for two years of language in high school
and continues the same language in college, this second year of language
is not required.

Note: The student working for this degree will register as a regular
Millsaps College student until his senior year. Then, although continuing
to live on the Millsaps campus and enjoying all the privileges and responsi-
bilities thereof, including fraternity or sorority membership, he will reg-
ister at Belhaven College as a candidate for the Bachelor of Music degree.
Credits in applied music will vary slightly depending on the major select-
ed. Majors are offered in Piano, Voice, Vj )lin. Band or Orchestra Instru-
ment. All curricula meet the Mississippi State Department of Education
requirements for the certification of music teachers.
MILLSAPS-BELHAVEN COOPERATIVE PROGRAM
students at Millsaps College are permitted to enroll for one or more
courses at Belhaven College as a part of their regular program of studies.
The two colleges are located only a few blocks apart, and the schedules
have been coordinated so as to make possible this exchange of students
between the two campuses. Regular transportation is provided.
There is also a sharing of the physical and other facilities of the two
schools. Students at each institution may check out books from either of
the college libraries.
UNIVERSITY OF MISSISSIPPI-MILLSAPS COLLEGE
CENTER
Inaugurated in the spring of 1951, the University of Mississippi-Mill-
saps College Center represents a cooperative effort of the two institutions
to provide broader educational opportunities to the citizens of Jackson and
the surrounding area. In addition to the two phases of the program de-
scribed below, the curricula of the two schools are being coordinated in
such a way as to make easier the transition from the pre-medical, pre-
nursing, pre-engineering, pre-law, and other preparatory courses on the
Millsaps campus to the work for professional degrees in these fields of-
fered by the University. Educators in such professional fields are becom-
ing increasingly anxious for their students to have, as a background for
their professional work, the broad liberal arts training which a curriculum
such as that offered at Millsaps provides.
GRADUATE STUDY PROGRAM
Graduate credit will be granted by the University of Mississippi for
certain courses offered on the Millsaps campus. These courses are under
the supervision of the Dean of the Graduate School of the University of
Mississippi and are taught by regular members of the faculty of the Uni-
versity and Millsaps. The credit granted is residence credit within limits
which vary from course to course.
ADULT EDUCATION PROGRAM
Late afternoon and evening courses are offered on the Millsaps cam-
pus for the benefit of persons employed in the Jackson area. Resident un-
dergraduate credit at either the University of Mississippi or Millsaps may
be earned by students in these courses who meet the entrance require-
ments of either institution. The courses are taught by regular members
4 0 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
of the Millsaps faculty and other qualified persons approved by both insti-
tutions. The Millsaps library and laboratory facilities are available to stu-
dents in these courses. Information as to specific courses offered and other
matters may be obtained by addressing The Director, University of Missis-
sippi-Millsaps College Center, Jackson 10, Mississippi.
In-f srvice Training
Industries in the Jackson urea are provided an excellent means of em-
ployee training through the specialized training programs set up by the
University of Mississippi-Millsaps College Center. This training is avail-
able in a wide range of subjects. Special courses can be arranged on a
credit or non-credit basis.
THE WASHINGTON SEMESTER
"The Washington Semester" is a joint arrangement between The
American University, Washington, D. C, Millsaps College, and sixteen
other colleges and universities in the United States to extend the resources
of the national capital to superior students in the field of the social
sciences. The object is to provide a direct contact with the work of
governmental departments and other national and international agencies
that are located in Washington, thus acquainting the students with pos-
sible careers in public service and imparting a knowledge of government
in action.
Under this arrangement qualified students of demonstrated capacity
from the participating colleges will spend a semester at the School of
Social Sciences and Public Affairs of the American University in Washing-
ton. They will earn there fifteen hours toward graduation in their home
colleges. In Washington the program is coordinated by staff members of
The American University, assisted by a professor appointed for a single
semester by one of the participating colleges.
Millsaps will ordinarily send two students in each fall semester. These
will be either juniors or first semester seniors and will be selected by a
faculty committee in April of each year.
It is believed by the administration and faculty of Millsaps that this
opportunity for first-hand study and observation of government in action
is unexcelled by any undergraduate program in education today.

GRADES, HONORS, CLASS STANDING
GRADING SYSTEM
The grade of the student in any class is determined by the combined
class standing and the result of a written examination. The examination
grade is counted as approximately one-third of the grade for the semester.
"A" represents superior work.
"B" represents above the average achievement in the regularly prescribed
work.
"C" represents an average level of achievement in the regularly prescribed
work.
"D" represents a level of achievement in the regularly prescribed work of
the class below the average in the same relationship as the grade of
"B" is above the average.
"E" represents a condition and is changed to a "D" if the grade in the
other semester of the course is "C" or above, providing that the
"E" precedes the higher grade on the student's record.
"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.
"WP" indicates that the student has withdrawn from the course while
passing, and "WF" means that he has withdrawn while failing.
"I" indicates that the work is incomplete and is changed to "F" if the
woi'k is not completed by the end of the following semester.
QUALITY POINTS
The completion of any academic course with a grade of "C" shall
entitle a student to one quality point for each semester hour, the comple-
tion 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 qual-
ity points for each semester hour.
CLASS STANDING OF STUDENTS
The following number of hours and quality points is required:
For sophomore rating 24 hours; 12 quality points
For junior rating 52 hours; 36 quality points
For senior rating 90 hours; 72 quality points
For graduation 128 hours; 120 quality points
A student's classification for the entire year is on the basis of his
status at the beginning of the fall semester.
HONORS AT GRADUATION
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 academic hours taken.
J
86 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
A student whose quality point index is 2.0 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 comprehensive 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. Honors or High
Honors may be refused a student who, in the judgment of the faculty, has
forfeited his right.
In determining eligibility for Honors or High Honors in the case of
students who have not done all their college work at Millsaps, the quality
points earned on the basis of grades made at other institutions will be
considered, but the student will be considered eligible only if he has the
required index both on the work done at Millsaps and on his college courses
as a whole.
DEAN'S HONOR LIST

on the Dean's List:
1. Scholarship:

ceding semester.
2. Conduct:

guardian of each student. These reports indicate, as nearly as practicable,
the nature of the progress made by the student in his work at the college.
HOURS PERMITTED
Fifteen academic semester hours is considered the normal load per
semester.

MILLSAPS COLLEGE 8 7
ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATIONS ;
CLASS ATTENDANCE
A student who has not been placed on either academic or attendance
probation has the privilege of being absent from classes on occasions which
necessitate such absences. The intent of this privilege is that students
with good academic standing are expected to be prompt and regailar in
attendance, but do not haA^e to secure the approval of the Dean for each
absence incurred. The specific regulations pertaining to students in this
classification are as follows:
All students are expected to be regular and prompt in their attendance
upon classes. Each student is, therefore, required to accept full re-
sponsibility for his own class attendance. If a student is absent from
a class four successive times without an explanation to the Dean, he
will be placed on attendance probation.
All students are required to attend classes on the two days immedi-
ately preceding and those immediately following a regularly scheduled
vacation period. The following regulations apply:
a. Students absent on such days will be placed on attendance
probation.
b. In order to be removed from this attendance probation, a stu-
dent must submit a written statement concerning his absence
to the Dean, accompanied by a written statement from a phy-
sician to certify that the student was sufficiently ill to be
unable to attend his classes.
c. Absences from classes on these days for any other reason
than certified illness may be approved only by action of the
Administrative Committee or by vote of the faculty of the
college.
ABSENCE FROM TESTS AND EXAMINATIONS
If a student is absent from an assigned test, he must obtain written
permission from the Dean in order to take a make-up test. The request
for this permission must be submitted in writing to the Dean within one
week after the student returns to classes.
The following regulations apply to examinations:
a. An absence from a final examination may be excused by the
Dean only on the basis of illness on the day of the exami-
nation. This illness must be certified by a written state-
ment by a physician to the effect that the student was suf-
ficiently ill to be unable to attend the examination.
b. Absences from an examination due to dire emergencies other
than illness may be excused only by action of the Adminis-
trative Committee of the college or by vote of the faculty
acting upon written request.
88 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
c. Students missing examinations must submit their written
excuses within two weeks of the absence. The special exami-
nation, if granted, must be held within the first six weeks of
the subsequent semester.
CHAPEL ATTENDANCE
Regular chapel attendance is required of all students one day each
week. Any student who is absent from chapel three or more times in one
semester will be required to offer a written explanation of his absence to
the Dean. If this explanation is not satisfactory, the student will be
placed on probation, and a penalty of hours and quality points may be
imposed.
PROBATION
Probation is defined as follows:
Academic Probation: —
Students who pass enough work to remain in college but
make in any semester a quality index of less than 0.5 will
be placed on probation.
Attendance Probation : —
a. Upon the recommendation of the instructor involved, a stu-
dent may be placed on probation in a course in which his ir-
regular attendance endangers his academic standing in the
course. Probationary rules apply to such a student only in
the course in which he is reported as being on attendance
probation.
b. Any student who is absent from any class for four consecu-
tive times without satisfactory explanation to the Dean will
be placed on attendance probation by the Dean.
Disciplinary Probation : —
Students guilty of serious infractions of the regulations of
the college may at the discretion of the appropriate dean or
faculty committee be placed on disciplinary probation. Pro-
bationary attendance regulations will apply for such a stu-
dent in all courses in which he is enrolled.
Attendance regulations for probationary students are as follows:
a. All excuses for absences are issued by the Dean.
b. If an absence is necessary, the probationary student is urged
to confer with the Dean before missing class. In case of an
emergency where it is not feasible to see the Dean before the
absence, the student should bring a written excuse to the
Dean within one week after returning to classes.
MILLSAPS COLLEGE 89
c. Excuses for absences due to illness should be supported by
signed statements of the physician or the nurse in attend-
ance.
d. Penalties for unexcused absences will normally take the form
of deductions of hours and quality points earned by the stu-
dent at Millsaps College according to the following formula:
Classes of fifty-minutes duration:
Unexcused
absences Penalty
3 One credit hour and one quality point
5 Two credit hours and two quality points
8 Three credit hours and three quality points
11 Four credit hours and four quality points
For each additional three absences there is a penalty of one
additional credit hour and one quality point.
Classes or independent laboratory courses of seventy-five
minutes or longer duration:
Unexcused
absences Penalty
2 One credit hour and one quality point
3 Two credit hours and two quality points
5 Three credit hours and three quality points
7 Four credit hours and four quality points
For each additional two absences there is a penalty of one
additional credit hour and one quality point.
Students who are on probation may be removed by making a 1.00
quality point index during a regular semester or during a summer session
at Millsaps College in which the student is enrolled for at least twelve
hours credit.
SENIOR EXEMPTIONS
Seniors may be exempt from final examinations in all subjects in
which they have maintained a grade of C up to two weeks before final
examinations. These exemptions are allowed only at the end of the semes-
ter in which they take the comprehensive examination for graduation. It
shall be understood, however, that this exemption does not insure the stu-
dent a final grade of C, since daily grades during the last two weeks shall
count in the final average. Under no circumstances may a student be
exempt from any examination in more than one term or semester.
Students may be exempt from final examinations only in the semes-
ter in which they take their comprehensive, scholastic requirements being
met.
CHANGE OF SCHEDULE
A student cannot change classes or drop classes or take up new
classes except by the consent of the Dean, his faculty adviser, and all
faculty members concerned. Courses dropped within the first two weeks
90 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
of a semester do not appear on the student's record. Courses dropped after
the first two weeks and before the middle of a semester are recorded as
WP (withdrawn passing) or WF (withdrawn failing). Courses dropped
after the middle of a semester are recorded as failures. If a student drops
a course at any time without securing the required approvals, he receives
an F in that course and is subject to further disciplinary action.
WITHDRAWAL
A student desiring to withdraw from college within any term must
obtain permission from the Dean of the college. A withdrawal card must
be filled out and must be approved by the Dean or the Registrar. No re-
fund will be considered unless this written notice is procured and presented
to the Business Office.
Refunds upon withdrawals will be made only as outlined elsewhere in
this catalog under the heading of "Financial Regulations."
A student who withdraws from college with permission after the first
two weeks of a semester is recorded as WP (withdrawn passing) or WF
(withdrawn failing) in each course. A student who withdraws without
permission receives a grade of F in each course.
Enforced withdrawal is inflicted by the faculty for habitual delin-
quency 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 stu-
dent at any time. In such a case, the pro rata portion of tuition will be
returned, except that students withdrawing under discipline forfeit the
right to a refund for any charges.
No student who withdraws from college for whatever reason is en-
titled to a report card or to a transcript of credits until he shall have set-
tled his account in the Business Office.
AUTOMATIC EXCLUSION
To remain in college a freshman must pass in the first semester six
hours of academic work.
After the first half year a student must pass at least nine hours of
academic work each semester to continue in college.
Students who are requested not to re-enter because of academic fail-
ure may petition in writing for readmission, but such petition will not be
granted unless convincing evidence is presented that the failure was due
to unusual causes of a non-recurring nature and that the student will
maintain a satisfactory record during the subsequent semester.
CONDUCT
The rules of the college require from every student decorous, sober,
and upright conduct as long as he remains a member of the college, wheth-
er he be within its precincts or not.
Regulations governing the conduct of students are found in the hand-
book. Students are expected to familiarize themselves with the regula-
tions.

RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES
Millsaps College, as an institution of the Methodist Church, seeks to
be a genuinely Christian college. 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 religious program.
Each week the administration, the faculty, and the students come to-
gether for a chapel service in the Christian Center. This is a formal wor-
ship service. Each Sunday morning the Holy Communion is administered
for the college community.
The Christian Council is a student group made up of representatives
from all the religious groups on the campus. The chairman of the fac-
ulty committee on religious activities serves as counselor for the group.
Many denominations are represented in the student body. Each is given
the opportunity to organize a group and given a time to meet. The YWCA
and the YMCA are given the opportunity to organize and promote an in-
terdenominational program.
Students preparing for the Christian ministry may join the Minis-
terial League, which provides programs and field work 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, to the local churches,
and to such institutions as the Methodist Children's Home and the local
hospitals.
A similar organization for young women going into full-time Christian
work is the Women's Christian Workers. Their program and activities
also provide opportunity for worship and Christian service on and off the
campus.
There are other opportunities for worship such as morning watch,
evening vespers, and organized prayer groups in the dormitories. These
services provide opportunity for participation by all students. The worship
services are planned by the students themselves.
There are periods of special emphasis on religion, such as Pre-Easter
services and Religious Emphasis Week. The annual Religious Emphasis
Week is sponsored by all the religious groups of the campus, functioning
through the Christian Council working with the Religious Activities Com-
mittee of the faculty. For this week some outstanding religious leader,
familiar with student life and problems, addresses the student body and
various groups of students and professors and is available for private con-
ference with individuals. Other discussion group leaders are brought in to
participate in this program. This series has been enriched through the
J. Lloyd Decell Lecture Foundation. Speakers of recent years have in-
cluded Dr. W. A. Smart of Emory University; Dr. IMarshall Steel of the
Highland Park Methodist Church, Dallas, Texas; Dr. W. B. Selah of
Galloway Memorial Methodist Church, Jackson, Mississippi; Dr. Mack
Stokes of Emory University; Dr. Henry Hitt Crane of the Central Methodist
Church, Detroit, Michigan; Dr. D. Elton Trueblood of Earlham College;
94 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
Dr. George Baker of Southern Methodist University; Dr. George Buttrick
of Harvard University; and Bishop John Wesley Lord of Boston, Massa-
chusetts.
All administrators and faculty members consider it part of their
responsibility to counsel with students about their religious life. This
helps the student come to a mature interpretation of the total life experi-
ence. Religion is considered a very necessary factor in this maturing
process.
A recent addition to the program of the college is a Town and Coun-
try teacher who offers courses in the Religion Department bearing on
the opportunities and responsibilities of the parish ministry. This teacher
counsels with those students holding churches and those preparing to
go into the active ministry. He helps them in setting up adequate pro-
grams in their parishes. He is interested also in the lay student who
wishes to prepare better for active work in the church as a layman.
Through the religious groups on the campus the students are encour-
aged to participate in the program of the Youth Fellowship in local
churches. They are also encouraged to attend Important conferences,
assemblies, and camps. Students also work on Youth Caravans and help
in Vacation Church Schools in the summer months.
Millsaps campus has become a conference center. Such groups as
the Christian Vocation Conference and the Methodist Student Movement
meet here from time to time. These groups bring religious leaders and
young people to the campus. Campus students take advantage of such
programs.
ATHLETICS
The athletic policy of Millsaps College is based on the premise that
athletics exist for the benefit of the students and not primarily to enhance
the prestige and publicity of the college.
It is believed that competitive sports, conducted in an atmosphere
of good sportsmanship and fair play, can make a significant contribution,
in the same way as other student activities, to the complete physical, emo-
tional, moral, and mental development of the well-rounded individual and
that they are thus an integral part of a program of liberal education.
Toward this end, an attempt is made to provide a sports-for-all program
and to encourage as many students as possible to participate in some form
of intramural or intercollegiate athletic competition.
The entire program is under the supervision of the Faculty Commit-
tee on Athletics. Specific policies are as follows:
A. Intramural Athletics
1. The program for men provides competition among campus organiza-
tions in speedball, basketball, softball, tennis, and golf. Rules are
made and administered by the Intramural Council, composed of stu-
dent representatives with the Director of Athletics and a member
of the Faculty Committee on Athletics as ex-officio members, subject
to the approval of this committee. A student who participates in
one-half of the scheduled contests of his intramural team in two ma-
MILLSAPS COLLEGE 95
jor sports or one major and one minor sport shall receive one
semester hour of extracurricular credit in Physical Education for
the academic year.
2. The program for women is administered by a faculty Director, as-
sisted by the Majorette Club, whose student members head the teams
that compete in such sports as ping-pong, volley-ball, tennis, basket-
ball, and Softball. Election to this club provides recognition for
athletic participation.
B. Intercollegiate Athletics
1. The program for men includes football, basketball, baseball, tennis.
and a limited program in golf and track as funds and facilities are
available. There is no intercollegiate program for women.
2. The program is conducted on a purely amateur basis. This means
specifically:
a. No athletic scholarships are given, and athletes are not sub-
sidized in any way.
b. There is no discrimination for or against athletes in the awarding
of scholarships and other regular financial aid given by the col-
lege to worthy students as described in the college catalog.
c. All such aid is administered by the Faculty Awards Committee.
Athletic ability is not a factor in such awards, and no one is
granted or denied aid because of athletic ability or participation.
d. No student is required to participate in athletics as a condition
for receiving or retaining any scholarship or other financial aid.
e. No student who takes pay from any source or in any form for
participation in intercollegiate athletics is eligible.
f. No student who has participated in organized professional sports
is eligible.
g. No student may participate for more than four seasons in any
sport, including participation in junior colleges or other senior
colleges which the student may have attended.
3. Only regularly enrolled full-time students are eligible for intercol-
legiate competition.
4. Those who participate in intercollegiate athletics are required to
observe and maintain the same academic standards as other students.
5. In scheduling games, preference is given first to members of the
athletic conference to which Millsaps belongs, and second to other
colleges that conduct an athletic program on an amateur basis similar
to that at Millsaps. When necessary to secure an adequate schedule,
games are played with schools that operate a subsidized program on
a frank and open basis. Games are not scheduled with schools that
attempt to conceal subsidization of athletes while professing ama-
teurism.
C. Athletic Facilities.
1. The gymnasium provides a large playing floor for volleyball and
basketball. It has dressing rooms for all teams, a room for visiting
teams, trainer's room complete with equipment for injuries, a club
9 6 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
room for wearers of the "M," a class room, shower and locker rooms
for girls, and the college book store. The gymnasium has become the
center of activities for the students.
2. The baseball diamond, separate from the football field, is also used
as the intramural football field. There are also softball diamonds.
3. Five tennis courts have been constructed near the gymnasium.
4. A very fine nine-hole golf course is available for use by all students.
SOCIAL ORGANIZATIONS
Social events play an important part in student life at Millsaps. The
social organizations are founded on the belief that man is a social being
and enjoys fellowship. They strive for high ideals and make a valuable
contribution to the college and the individual in teaching students to live
together.
There are four fraternities, four sororities, and two independent
groups at Millsaps. The fraternities and sororities are all members of
well-established national Greek-letter organizations which maintain chap-
ters at Millsaps. The independent groups are members of the National
Independent Student Association.
The sororities are Beta Sigma Omicron, Chi Omega,
Kappa Delta, and Phi Mu.
The fraternities are Kappa Alpha, Kappa Sigma, Lamb-
da Chi Alpha, and Pi Kappa Alpha.
The independent groups are the Vikings (women) and
Norsemen (men).
Any student who desires to join the National Independent Student
Association should indicate this desire to the officers of Vikings or Norse-
men. Students not members of a fraternity or a sorority are eligible for
membership.
Fraternities and sororities select students for membership during the
first week of school, known as Rush Week. At the end of Rush Week
these organizations offer "bids" to the students whom they have selected.
Eligibility for membership in fraternities and sororities is governed by
the following regulations:
A. General Conditions
1. Only bona fide regular students (carrying at least 12 hours) may
be pledged to a sorority or fraternity.

bility of its prospective initiates from the registrar prior to the
initiation ceremonies.

MILLSAPS COLLEGE 103
HISTORY OF THE COLLEGE
Founded just over sixty years ago, Millsaps is one of the young-
est colleges supported by the Methodist Church. It was in the late eighties
that the Mississippi Methodist Conferences appointed a joint commission
to formulate plans for a "college for males under the auspices and con-
trol of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South."
Among the members of this commission was Major R. W. Millsaps,
Jackson businessman and banker, who offered to give $50,000 to endow
the institution, provided Methodists throughout the state matched this
amount.
Under the leadership of Bishop Charles B. Galloway, the IMethodists
met the challenge of Major Millsaps. The charter for the college was
granted February 21, 1890, and the college opened its doors in the fall of
1892. Coeducation was instituted in the seventh session.
First president of the college was William Belton ?ilurrah, who served
until 1910. Along with Bishop Galloway and Major Millsaps, Murrab
is commonly thought of as one of the founders of the college.
Other presidents have been D. C. Hull, M.A., (1910-1912); A. F.
Watkins. D.D., (1912-1923); D. M. Key, Ph.D., LL.D., (1923-1938); M. L.
Smith, Ph.D. LL.D., (1938-1952); and H. E. Finger, Jr., B.D., D.D., w^ho
has been president since 19 52.
BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS
The campus, covering nearly 100 acres in the center of a beautiful
residential section and on one of the highest points in the city, is valued
at nearly two million dollars.
The administration building, Murrah Hall, was erected in 1914; the
Sullivan-Harrell Science Hall in 192S; and the Buie Memorial Gymnasium
in 1936. Recent grants and gifts have made possible the addition of com-
pletely modern equipment for the science laboratories.
A new home for the President and a completely new system of drive-
ways through the campus were constructed in 1949.
The Christian Center Memorial Building was completed in 1950.
It was made possible by the gifts of Mississippi Methodists, alumni, and
friends of the college. This building has an auditorium seating more than
100 0 persons, a small chapel, classrooms, and offices.
The Carnegie-Millsaps Library has been modernized and enlarged
to three times its original size during 19 5 5. It is the first building to be
constructed with the Million-for-Millsaps funds and has been renamed
the Millsaps-Wilson Liljrary.
The James Observatory provides excellent facilities for students of
astronomy and is also made available on frequent occasions to the citizens
of Jackson and surrounding areas.
The campus contains two fields for football and baseball, a track, ten-
nis courts, and a nine-hole golf course.
104 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
Dormitory facilities are available for both men and women students.
Founders, Whitworth, and Sanders Halls are the women's dormitories.

FINANCIAL RESOURCES
The productive endowment, according to the last audit, amounted to
$1,363,483.62. In addition to the income from this endowment, the col-
lege budget receives pro rata share of conference assessments amounting
to $11,000 annually. The statement of total assets derived from the last
official audit, June 19 54, is as follows:
Current Fund $ 23,521.37
Endowment Funds 1,363,483.62
Million for Millsaps Receipts 315,123.80

CARNEGIE FOUNDATION RESEARCH GRANT
Millsaps College was selected as one of five colleges, with Tulane
University as the center of an area including Texas, Louisiana, and Missis-
sippi, to be the recipient of a research grant given by the Carnegie Foun-
dation for the Improvement of Teaching. This grant amounted to $4,000 a
year for five years, supplemented by $2,000 a year from the college bud-
get. During the five years of this grant thirty-three members of the fac-
ulty availed themselves of the opportunity to improve their teaching
through special study and research work.
THE J. LLOYD DECELL LECTURESHIP
This lectureship was established at Millsaps in 19 48 as a memorial
to Bishop J. Lloyd Decell (1887-1946), Bishop Decell took the lead in
merging the three colleges of Methodism in Mississippi — Whitworth,
Grenada, and Millsaps. He also set up the campaign for funds known as
the "Million for the Master." The lectureship foundation of $50,000 was
established by the college. The purpose of the lectureship is to bring to
the college men of scholarship in the fields of literature, science, philoso-
phy, and religion. Dr. Henry Hitt Crane of the Central Methodist Church,
Detroit, Michigan, was the first lecturer on this foundation December
5-7, 1950. Dr. D. Elton Trueblood delivered the lectures February 25-
27, 1952. Dr. George C. Baker, of Southern Methodist University, was the
speaker February 2 3-25, 1953. Dr. George Buttrick was the speaker May
5-7, 1954. Bishop John "Wesley Lord was the speaker February 21-23,
1955.
THE MILLSAPS LIBRARY
Near the close of the session of 1905-06 Andrew Carnegie offered
to give the college $15,000 for a library building if the trustees would
provide an endowment of an equal amount. The endowment required
MILLSAPS COLLEGE 105
was given by Major Millsaps. In 1925 the Carnegie Corporation ap-
propriated 150,0 0 0 for a new library building, which was completed in
192 6 and provided shelves for 5 0,000 volumes. The furniture for the read-
ing rooms was given by the Enochs Lumber and Manufacturing Company.
In 19 44 the interior of the library was redecorated, and in 19 46 additional
furniture was purchased.
Work began in Septeml)er, 19 54, on enlarging, remodeling, and
modernizing this structure into what will appear to be an entirely new
building. It is designed to accommodate a student body of 1,0 0 0 and to
house approximately 8 5,000 volumes. Money for this construction came
through the Million for Millsaps Campaign and the generosity of the H.
J. Wilson family of Hazlehurst. The spacious, attractive building will be
opened for use in September, 1955, as the Millsaps-Wilson Library.
A special grant of $10,000 for the purchase of books was made by
the Carnegie Corporation during the five years 1931-36, and about 4,600
volumes were added from this source. In 1944 the Rockefeller Founda-
tion made a grant to the library of $15,000 for the purchase of books dur-
ing the years 194 4-48. This sum was matched by the college by a like
amount to be used for the enlargement and equipment of the library
building. The General Board of Education of the Methodist Church pro-
vided $2,5 0 0 for the purchase of additional stacks and equipment. The
income from the Martha A. Turner Fund of $1,000, founded by Mrs. J. R.
Bingham of CarroUton, ^Mississippi, is used for the purchase of books in
English literature. At the present time the library contains approximately
36,000 volumes.
During the session of 1941-42 the Historical Society of the Mississippi
Conference placed its valuable collection of books and papers relating to
Mississippi Methodist history in a special room in the library. A collection
of documents, manuscripts, and books on Methodism in Mississippi has
been begun, and gifts of material related to this subject will be especially
valuable.
During 1954 the library received gift books from Prof. Mabel Benner
Cobb on her retirement from the college; from Mr. Alvin Jon King, I\Irs.
V. R. McDonald, the Rev. Rolfe Hunt, the Rev. James S. Conner, Miss
Catherine McFarlane; and from the estate of Mrs. A. M. Muckenfuss,
daughter of Bishop Galloway and wife of the first professor of chemistry
at Millsaps College.
The library hours are as follows: Monday through Thursday, S to 5.
6:30 to 9:30; Friday, 8 to 5 ; Saturday, 9 to 12, 1 to 4 ; Sunday, 1:30 to
4:30. The library is closed for the Chapel Hour each week and during
the Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Spring Holidays.
