FOREWORD
Experience indicates that those who examine college catalogs
are usually interested primarily in finding the answers to the follow-
ing 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 opportunities
are available for earning part of these expenses?
(4) What subjects of study are provided and what are the require-
ments for graduation?
(5) What rules does a student have to follow while attending the
college?
(6) What other activities are provided outside the classroom?
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 prospective stu-
dents, are answered in Part I. The other questions are covered suc-
cessively 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.
This catalog is primarily a record of the 1970-1971 session of the
College. The academic calendar of the 1971-1972 session will be found
in the back.

THE PURPOSE OF MILLSAPS COLLEGE
Millsaps College has as its primary aim the development of men and
women for responsible leadership and well-romided lives of useful service
to their fellow men, their country, and their God. It seeks to function as
a community of learners where faculty and students together seek the
truth that frees the minds of men.
As an institution of the Methodist Church, Millsaps College is dedi-
cated to the idea that religion is a vital part of education; that education is
an integral part of the Christian religion; and that church-related colleges,
providing a sound academic program in a Christian environment, afford a
kind of discipline and influence which no other type of institution can
offer. The College provides a congenial atmosphere where persons of all
faiths may study and work together for the development of their physical,
intellectual, and spiritual capacities.
As a liberal arts college, Millsaps seeks to give the student adequate
breadth and depth of understanding of civilization and culture in order
to broaden his perspective, to enrich his personality, and to enable him to
think and act intelligently amid the complexities of the modem world. The
curriculum is designed to avoid premature specialization and to integrate
the humanities, the social studies, and the natural sciences for their mutual
enrichment.
The College recognizes that training which will enable a person to
support himself adequately is an essential part of a well-rounded education.
On the other hand, it believes that one of the chief problems of modem
society is that in too many cases training as expert technicians has not
been accompanied by education for good citizenship. It offers, therefore,
professional and pre-professional training balanced by cultural and humane
studies. In an environment that emphasizes the cultural and esthetic values
to be found in the study of language, literature, philosophy, and science,
the student at Millsaps can also obtain the necessary courses to prepare
him for service in such fields as teaching, journalism, social work, and
business or for professional study in these areas as well as in theology,
medicine, dentistry, engineering, law, and other fields.
As an institution of higher learning, Millsaps College fosters an atti-
tude of continuing intellectual awareness, of tolerance, and of unbiased
inquiry, without which true education cannot exist. It does not seek to
indoctrinate, but to inform and inspire. It does not shape the student in
a common mold of thought and ideas, but rather attempts to search out his
often deeply hidden aptitudes, capacities, and aspirations and to provide
opportunities for his maximum potential development. It seeks to broaden
his horizons and to lift his eyes and heart toward the higher and nobler
attributes of life. The desired result is an intelligent, voluntary dedication
to moral principles and a growing social consciousness that will guide him
into a rich, well-rounded Christian life, with ready acceptance of respon-
sibility to neighbor, state, and church.

Information for
Prospective Students
HISTORY OF THE COLLEGE
Founded February 21, 1890, Millsaps is one of the youngest college:
supported by the Methodist Church. It was in the late eighties that th«
Mississippi Methodist Conferences appointed a joint commission to formulatf
plans for a "college for males under the auspices and control of the Methodis
Episcopal Church, South."
Among the members of this commission was Major Reuben Webste
Millsaps, Jackson businessman and banker, who offered to give $50,000 t(
endow the institution, provided Methodists throughout the state matched thi
amount.
Under the leadership of Bishop Charles Betts Galloway, the Methodist
met the challenge of Major Millsaps. The charter for the College was grantee
February 21, 1890, and the College opened its doors in the fall of 1892. Co
education was instituted in the seventh session.
The growth of the College through the years has been made possible b;
gifts from innumerable benefactors. Besides the generous gifts of Major Millsaps
the College has received large donations from W. S. F. Tatum, R. D. Sanders
Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Wilson, Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Ezelle, the W. M. Bui(
family, the C. R. Ridgway family, Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Bacot, and Robert Masoi
Strieker. Other individuals have endowed scholarship and loan funds, whicl
are described elsewhere in this catalog.
First president of the College was William Belton Murrah, who served unti
1910. Along with Bishop Galloway and Major Millsaps, Bishop Murrah is com
monly thought of as one of the founders of the College.
Other presidents have been David Carlisle Hull, M.A., (1910-1912); Alexan
der Farrar Watkins, D.D., (1912-1923); David Martin Key, Ph.D., LL.D., (1923
1938); Marion Lofton Smith, Ph.D., LL.D., (1938-1952); Homer Elhs Fingei
Jr., B.D., D.D., (1952-1964); Benjamin Barnes Graves, M.B.A., Ph. D., (1964
1970); and Edward McDaniel Collins, Jr., M.A., Ph.D., who was named presiden
in the summer of 1970.
MILLSAPS COLLEGE
is a church related college
under the joint sponsorship of the Mississippi and North Mississippi Confer
ences of the United Methodist Church. The College adheres to the viev
that one of the fundamental bases of a church-related institution is Christiai
in the sense that knowledge of truth is part of its work. Millsaps, therefore
is not narrow in its outlook.
is a small college
with an enrollment of approximately 1,000 students. The close persona
relationship that exists among students, faculty, and administration at Millsap;
is one of the most vital parts of the college experience.
is a co-educational college
with an enrollment approximately equal between men and women.

is a liberal arts college
with the primary aim of training its students for responsible citizenship 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. Millsaps attempts to remedy this situation by training its students,
in whatever field of study they may choose, to be community leaders and
responsible citizens.
offers professional and pre-professional training
balanced by cultural and disciplinary studies. The College recognizes that
training which will enable a person to support himself adequately is an essential
part of a well-rounded education. Therefore, the student at Millsaps can 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 professional work in the field, as well as for its esthetic and cultural value;
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 recognize that the most valuable members of their pro-
fession are those who have something more in their background than narrow
technical study.
selects its students carefully
on their ability to think, desire to learn, good moral character, and in-
tellectual maturity. The primary consideration in acting on all applications for
admission is the ability to do college work in a measure satisfactory to the Col-
lege and beneficial to the student.
has a cosmopolitan student body
representing a wide geographical area and including persons of a'l races
and religious faiths. During a typical semester, approx'mately thiry states and a
half-dozen foreign countries are represented in th? student body. In terms of
religious affiliation, the students come from some twenty-five different de-
nominations.
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 Depart-
ment of Archives and History, the State Library, the Library of the State De-
partment of Health, and the Jackson Public Library provide research facilities
found nowhere else in the state. The Jackson Symphony Orchestra, Jackson
Little Theatre, the New Stage Theatre, The Jackson Opera Guild, Inc., and
numerous musical, dramatic, and sporting events staged at the City Auditorium
and the Mississippi Coliseum add materially to the cultural advantages available.
is fully accredited
by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, and approved by the
American Association of University Women and the University Senate of the
United Methodist Chirch. Millsaps College is recognized by the General Board of
Education of ih;' United Methodist Chur.h as one of its stronyest institutions.
THE MILLSAPS-WILSON LIBRARY
The Library of Millsaps College currently contains over 80,000 volumes
and approximately 700 periodical subscriptions.
The library was begun in 1905 on a grant of Andrew Carnegie and an
endowment of Major Millsaps. In 1925 the Carnegie Corporation provided the
funds for a new building which was redecorated in 1944.
An enlarged and remodeled building was dedicated in September, 1955,
a result of the Million for Millsaps Campaign and the generosity of the H. J.
Wilson family, and in 1971 the library was further expanded as a part of a new
Academic Complex. The library provides individual study carrels and rooms,
browsing and lounge areas and audiovisual materials in addition to research
materials.
Special collections in the library include the Lehman Engel Collection of
books, manuscripts, recordings, art objects and correspondence relating to the
theatre and the arts; the Mississippi Methodist Archives, administered by Dr.
J. B. Cain; a small rare book collection; and the Kellogg Collection of juvenile
books.
The library hours are as follows: Monday through Friday, 7:45 a.m. to
10:00 p.m.; Saturday, 9:00 to 5:00 p.m.; Sunday, 2:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. The
library maintains limited service during school vacations.
THE KELLOGG COLLECTION
In 1962 the W. K. Kellogg Foundation of Battle Creek, Michigan, made a
generous grant of $10,000 for the purpose of improving the quality of the teacher
preparation program at Millsaps College through fnincial assistance toward the
acquisition of books and other library materials. These funds have enabled the
College to assemble a special collection of materials which are housed in a
separate collection in the main library for use in conjunction with classes and
seminars in the Department of Education. They are also available for general
use by interested members of the student body and staff. The Kellogg Collection
provides a unique opportunity for the use of elementary and secondary school
literature and materials in regular classroom situations.
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 approximately
eight million dollars.
The administration building, Murrah Hall, was erected in 1914; the Sul-
livan-Harrell Science Hall in 1928; and the Buie Memorial Gymnasium in
1936. 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. Recent grants and gifts have made possible
the addition of completely modern equipment for the science laboratories.
The Christian Center Building was completed in 1950. It was made pos-
sible by the gifts of Mississippi Methodists, alumni, and friends of the College.
This building has an auditorium seating more than 1000 persons, a small
chapel, classrooms, and offices. In 1967 the stage was renovated into a modern
theatre stage. Seminar rooms and faculty offices were added. The whole
building was air-conditioned.
In 1955 the Carnegie-Millsaps Library was modernized and enlarged to
three times its former size. It was the first building to be constructed with
the Million-for-Millsaps funds and has been renamed the Millsaps-Wilson
Library.
A building completed in 1957, also financed from the Million-for-Millsaps
funds, is the Boyd Campbell Student Center. This building houses the offices
of the Dean of Students, the Dean of Women, the Dean of Men, the Director
of Religious Life, the food services, the bookstore, the post office, the student
activity quarters, and recreation area.
There are air-conditioned dormitories for both men and women students.
A dormitory for women, Becky Bacot Hall, and one for men were opened in
the fall of 1966. Fae Franklin for women and Ezelle for men were opened
in 1958. These buildings are modem and convenient. Whitworth and Sanders
Halls also house women students.
The Sullivan-Harrell Science Hall was completely renovated, expanded,
and modernized in 1963, creating the Millsaps College Science Center. The
furnishings and new equipment were designated a memorial to Dr. Joseph
Bailey Price. A part of the funds from the Seventy-fifth Anniversary Develop-
ment Program was used in this renovation.
The Academic Complex was completed in the spring of 1971. The three-
story building almost doubles the area available to the Library. It also houses a
small auditorium in which is located a Mohler Organ. This building also houses
the Music Department, the skylit art studios, the Business and Economics De-
partment, the Political Science Department, a computer room, classrooms of
varying sizes and composition, a listening laboratory and a music laboratory.
The campus contains fields for football and baseball, a track, tennis courts,
and a nine-hole golf course.

II
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 accommodations on the
campus are desired. The Admissions Committee begins acting in December on
completed applications for both the Spring and Fall semesters.
In applying for admission a prospective student should follow the procedure
described below:
1. He should request an Application for Admission from the Director of Admis-
sions.
2. He should fill out this application blank and the housing form and return them
to the Director of Admissions with the $10.00 application fee. This fee is not
refunded to a student whose application is approved by the Admissions Com-
mittee, nor is it credited to the student's account. The fee is used to defray
a portion of the expense of processing the apphcation for admission or read-
mission.
3. The Freshman applicant should have a Counselor and teachers forward to the
Director of Admissions the Personal Reference forms, which will be supplied
with the application blank.
4. He should have his high school principal or college registrar send an offi-
cial transcript of his credits directly to the Director of Admissions. A sepa-
rate 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 transcript.
5. He must submit results of either the American College Test (ACT) or the
Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) of the College Entrance Examination Board
to the Director of Admissions. The Freshman applicant should take one of
these tests as early as possible, preferably on the earliest Fall testing date.
If the prospective student is in school at the time he applies for admis-
sion, 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.
STUDENT SERVICES
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 academic work.
Consequently, every member of the college community participates in counsel-
ing, 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 program are as follows:
1. Pre-Registration Counseling
In order to assist new and prospective students to plan wisely in looking
forward to their college careers, the College will provide counseling services
to any prospective student who may desire to explore his vocational and
12
educational objectives before he enters his classes in the fall semester. Stu-
dents who have been admitted are urged to take advantage of this service.
2. Orientation
All freshmen are expected to be on the campus on August 29, 1971, to
participate in the orientation program. Transfer students are expected on
Monday, August 30, 1971. This program is developed and executed coopera-
tively by students and faculty for the purpose of assisting students to be
adequately prepared for entering fully into the college program.
3. Faculty Advisers
Each nev^ student at Millsaps is assigned to a member of the faculty who
serves as the adviser for that student with respect to his academic program.
At the time a student chooses his major field of study, his major professor
automatically becomes his faculty adviser.
4. Personal Counseling
Particular attention is given by the Office of Student Personnel to counseling
students on such matters as vocational choice, selection of fields of study,
study skills, reading skills, emotional adjustment, and similar 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 persons who counsel
with him to work effectively in helping him plan his program and activities
at the College. In addition, any student registered in the College has avail-
able to him individual testing services to assist him in self-analysis and plan-
ning in terms of his individual aptitudes, interests, and personality character-
istics.
STUDENT HOUSING
The housing program of the College is coordinated by the Dean of Men
and the Dean of Women in cooperation with the dormitory housemothers, coun-
selors, and managers. Men students live in our men's residence halls or in
fraternity houses. Only active members of a fraternity are permitted to live in
its house. Women students live in our women's residence halls. The regula-
tions by which resident women students are governed are formulated and ad-
ministered by the Women's Student Government Association. All dormitory
residents are expected to maintain their rooms in a clean and reasonably neat
condition.
All out-of-town students are required to reside in college housing facilities,
unless they have received permission, in writing, through the Office of Student
Personnel to live in off-campus housing. Application forms for permission to
live off campus are available in the Student Personnel Office. Out-of-town stu-
dents wishing to live off campus should complete these forms and receive ap-
proval in advance of any move and before incurring obligations to a prospective
landlord. No out-of-town student classified below the junior level will be given
permission to live off campus. Students who desire to live with relatives while
attending Millsaps must secure permission in writing from the Office of Student
Personnel.
Dormitory facilities are designed to house two students in each space.
Students desiring to room together should make every effort to pay reservation
fees at the same time and to specify their desire to room together. Room
13
assignments are made in the order in which students' reservation fees or com-
pleted apphcations have been received, whichever is later. Preferences for a
particular room will be honored unless it has been taken by someone whose
eligibility for the room entitles him to it.
After notification of room assignment, a student must accept or reject the
ass'gnment in writing within two weeks of the notification. Room rent cannot
be refunded after the semester has begun.
Dormitories open for occupancy at 2 p.m. of the day preceding each term
or semester and close at 4 p.m. on the last day of each term or semester. All
dormitories close at 2 p.m. on the afternoon of the day that Christmas and spring
holidays begin and re-open at 2 p.m. on the day immediately preceding the day
that classes resume following the holiday period. No students can be housed in
the dormitories during the Christmas holiday period.
DINING FACILITIES
The College Dining Hall and the College Grill are located in the Boyd
Campbell Student Center. These food services are under contract to a pro-
fessional food service company to assure the best in food and service at moderate
rates. The average cost per meal to the student is 620. Three meals per day
purchased with cash will average $1.22 per meal. The meals are served in a
congenial social atmosphere where student groups are encouraged to use the
meal hour for language practice, discussion, and the exchange of ideas.
The College Grill is in the same building with the Dining Hall. It is
available to those who wish a la carte service and short orders. There is a
complete soda fountain service. The Grill operates on a cash sales basis.
STUDENT MEDICAL SERVICES
The medical services are designed to provide treatment and care for students
with minor illnesses, diagnostic and referral services and to implement preventive
and educational programs. The services of the college physician are available
through the nurse on duty or one of the housemothers.
Students with minor illnesses are cared for on campus. More serious illnesses
or those requiring long-term care are referred to one of the local hospitals or
to home on a private patient basis. Each student is urged to have insurance
for medical care, either through a family policy or by enrolling in the group
insurance made available through the College.
New students are required to have their personal physicians complete and
mail in a physical examination form. This form is provided the student before
the opening of the term in which he will enroll. In addition, each new student
is required to have influenza immunizations prior to enrollment.
THE BOYD CAMPBELL STUDENT CENTER
The heart of a small college is the close relationship between students and
faculty. From this relationship pulses the life-blood of the campus in the form
of mutual confidence, mutual respect, and mutual concern for the welfare of
the total membership of the college community. The Boyd Campbell Student
Center makes a unique contribution to the College by serving as the "living room"
of the campus where friends can meet for relaxation and enrichment through
interpersonal contacts; by providing a center for extracurricular activities; by
providing a central location for the cafeteria, the grill, the post office, and the
bookstore; by serving as a focal point for commuters and off-campus students;
and by providing a general unifying influence for the entire campus.

Financial Information
TUITION AND FEES
Millsaps College is an independent institution. Each student is charged a
tuition fee and certain general fees which together cover approximately two-
thirds of the cost of his education. The balance of these costs is met by income
from endowment and by gifts from the United Methodist Church, alumni,
trustees, parents, and other friends who are interested in the type of education
the College provides. Thus each student who is admitted is initially and auto-
matically granted the equivalent of a scholarship equal to one-third the cost
of his education.
SEMESTER EXPENSES

of factors. Basic expenses for one semester are as follows:

The Curriculum
:; 't ■■
REQUIREMENTS FOR DEGREES
The entering student — particularly at the freshman level — has the option
of following the traditional program of requirements, or of following the modi-
fied program of requirements open to students who successfully complete the
Heritage course.
Traditional Program. This is traditional only in the sense that it represents
the type of program that in recent decades has been characteristic of most
liberal arts colleges. Basically it consists of a broad pattern of specific courses
representative of the entire area of man's knowledge. Its objective is to provide
the student with at least a minimum contact experience with a broad spectrum
of disciplines.
Heritage Program. This program, an outgrowth of a comprehensive curri-
culum review, was especially designed for entering Freshmen. It brings the
resources and perspectives of many disciplines into a unified whole, presenting
the story of Western Man's heritage in its many dimensions. The student still
works in the areas of history, literature, religion, philosophy, fine arts, classi-
cal studies, communication skills, etc., but in the Heritage Program he ap-
proaches all of these within an interdisciplinary framework. Lectures and dis-
cussion leaders come from a variety of disciplines. Students who complete the
Heritage Program meet in part or in full many of the requirements found in the
traditional program.
The requirements are as follows:
1. Minimum requirements for all degrees:

Education applied toward a B.A. or a B.S. degree is as follows: Art, twenty-one
hours; Music, forty-two hours; Education, forty-two hours.
6. Residence Requirements:
One year of residence is required for graduation from Millsaps, and 30 of
the last 36 hours of academic work must be done in residence. The two
exceptions allowed to this rule are: (1) students who have been approved
for the prescribed pre-medical technologist program may take the last 26
hours at the affiliated institution and (2) students leaving to enter graduate or
professional school may transfer back the final 18 hours of work. In this latter
case, however, residence will be required at Millsaps for the second semester
of the Junior year and the first semester of the Senior year.
Three summer sessions will be considered as equivalent to the one year
of residence required.
7. English Proficiency Requirement:
Before receiving a bachelor's degree each student is required to demonstrate
proficiency in English composition and usage by passing an examination given
by the English Department. It consists of a 500-word essay written extempore
within two and one-half hours on a subject selected from a list furnished at
the examination.
^Credit will not be allowed for either History 101-102 or English 101-102 for students com-
pleting the Heritage 101-102/English 103-104 program; however students receiving credit
in Heritage 101-102 may receive credit for English 201-202, English 313-314 and all
courses in Fine Arts, Philosophy and Religion.
^If a student has two high school units and continues the same language in college, he is
required to complete only the foreign languages 201-202 course (6 hours).
^In the elementary education program, the requirement can be met by taking Mathematics
105-106. Credit cannot be allowed for both Mathematics 103 and 115.
^Students who have completed Heritage 101-102 may complete the Religion requirement by
taking any of the foUowing courses: 201, 202, 301, 311, 381, 391, 392.
^The Behavioral Sciences are: Economics, Political Science, Psychology and Sociology.
'Year courses only are acceptable toward meeting this requirement.
33
The examination is given by the EngUsh Department at two stated times
in the academic year. The regular administration is on the second Thursday in
November from 4 to 6:30 p.m. in Sulhvan-Harrell Hall. A special administration
of the examination is given on the second Thursday in March from 4 to 6:30
p.m. in Murrah Hall to seniors who hope to graduate but who have not passed
the Junior English Proficiency Examination. Seniors who fail the special exami-
nation and who think they have compelling cause may petition the Academic
Dean for an extraordinary administration of the examination in the Summer
Session following. If the Dean grants the petition, he may also stipulate that
the student must audit English 101-102 during the Summer Session.
All rising juniors, transfer students at the junior and senior levels, and seniors
who failed the examination in their junior year must register for the November
administration of the proficiency examination at the time of fall registration.
Each student who fails the examination in November is assigned to a
member of the English Department for remedial instruction. The English
Department offers the tutorial work gladly, but the students must avail them-
selves of it.
8. Extracurricular Credits:
The following extracurricular activities to a maximum of eight semester hours
may be included in the 128 semester hours required for graduation:
Physical Education (Required) 2 Bobashela Editorial Staff 6
Physical Education (Elective) 6 Bobashela Business Staff 6
Purple and White Editor 4 Stylus Editor 4
Purple and White Business Stylus Business Manager 4
Manager 4 Players 6
Purple and White Department Millsaps Singers 6
Editors 6 Student Government Officers 4
Purple and White Staff 6 Student Government Representatives 6
Bobashela Editor 4 Computer X150 1
Bobashela Business Manager 4
(Only one semester hour in each activity may be earned in each semester,
except by the Editor and Business Manager of the Purple and White, the
Bobashela, the Stylus, and the officers in the Student Government.)
9. Majors:
In addition to taking the prescribed work for the degree, the student must
major in one of the following areas: Biology, Chemistry, Economics, Accounting,
Business Administration, Education, English, Geology, German, Greek, History,
Latin, Mathematics, Music, Philosophy, Physics, Political Science, Psychology,
Religion, Romance Languages, Speech and Theatre, Sociology and Anthropology.
Specific requirements for the major can be found under the appropriate
department of instruction.
Students may be permitted to major in a subject only after careful con-
sideration and with the consent of the head of the department.
A major for each student must be approved by one of the department heads
not later than the beginning of the junior year. Three cards will be signed by
the major professor to show approval of the choice of a major; and these
cards will be kept on file, one with the Registrar's Office and one with the
major professor, and one in the Office of Student Personnel.
34
No junior or senior registration will be accepted as complete by the
Registrar's Office without the signed approval of the major professor.
For failing to maintain a C average or for other good cause, a student
may change his major or be advised by his major professor to change his major
as late as October 1 of his senior year. He must submit to the Registrar's Office
on regular form (obtainable from the Registrar's Office) the express permission
of both the Dean and the head of the proposed new major department. Transfer
credit will be accepted toward a major only with the approval of the department.
10. Meeting Requirements by Examination:
In a limited number of instances, a requirement may be met partiall>'
or in full by a satisfactory score on an achievement test. Such tests are presently
offered in English Composition, Mathematics and the Romance languages during
the Freshman orientation period. No course credit, however, is awarded the
student who meets a requirement in this fashion.
11. Comprehensive Examinations:
Before receiving a bachelor's degree the student must pass a satisfactor>'
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 comprehensive 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 under-
standing of the field which could not be acquired from individual courses.
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 examination will be con-
ducted 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 in
which he has credit and which he is currently enrolled complete the require-
ments in the major department. He may take the examination in the spring
semester if he will be within 18 hours of graduation by the end of that semester.
The examination will be given in December 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 semester is the
last week in April of each year. Comprehensive examinations will not be given
during the summer except by permission of the Dean. Those who fail a compre-
hensive examination may have an opportunity to take another examination after
the lapse of two months. If the .student fails the second comprehensive, he ma>'
not have another until he has taken at least one additional semester's work at
Millsaps College.
12. Quality index required:
A minimum of 240 quality points is required for the B.A. and B.S. degrees:
248 for the B. M. degree. An over-all cjuality point index of 2.00 is required of
all students. The index is always calculated on total number of academic hours
attempted.
13. Application for a degree:
Each student who is a candidate for a degree is required to submit a
written appHcation for the degree by March 1 of the year of his graduation.
This date will apply also to students who plan to complete their work in sum-
mer school. Forms for degree applications are to be secured and filed in the
Registrar's Office.
14. Requirements for second degree:
In order to earn a second degree from Millsaps College a student must
have thirty additional semester hours of work beyond the 128 semester hours
required for the first degree and these additional hours must include all of
the requirements for both the second degree and the second major.
SUGGESTED DEGREE PROGRAMS
A regular student will be required to enroll in English each year until
he has satisfied the degree requirement in that subject. In addition he has a
choice of enrolling in either mathematics or a foreign language until he has
satisfied the degree requirement in one or the other of these disciplines. These
general rules do not apply to the summer session, nor do they apply to students
entering the second semester if the appropriate courses are not offered at that
time.

PRE-MEDICAL AND PRE-DENTAL
It is the responsibility of the pre-medical and pre-dental students to consult
the catalogs of the schools to which they wish to apply for their specific re-
quirements. The following courses are required by many medical and dental
schools.
Biology 121-122 8 hr. Mathematics 115-116 8 hr.
Chemistry 121-125, 122-126 _ 10 hr. Physics 101-102 and 151-152 8 hr.

English 101-102 6 hr. 131-132 and 151-152 10 hr.
Electives 42 hr.
The student is urged to consult with a member of the Pre-medical Advisory
Committee (Berry, Christmas, Galloway, McKeown) in designing a program of
courses that will fit his particular needs, background, and interest.
Millsaps College and many medical and dental schools strongly recommend
that the student obtain a baccalaureate degree in an area of his interest. This
catalog should be consulted elsewhere for the exact major and degree require-
ments. Millsaps and most medical and dental schools also strongly recommend
that the student develop a sound background in the humanities and social
sciences.
The student should remember that the requirements listed in a medical or
dental school catalog are minimal but that he should give himself maximum
preparation. In general, the student who is weak in some science, as shown by
his performance in his introductory college courses, is urged to take further work
in that science to prepare himself adequately. The student should also utilize
his limited time in taking courses that will not be available during his professional
training. The following courses are recommended as electives by many medical
and dental schools.
'If foreign language is cfiosen for the degree requirement, the student must earn 6 hrs. of
201-202 credit.
-In certain programs specific mathematics courses are required.
•'Heritage students may choose from among the following courses in Religion: 201, 202, 301,
311, 381, 391, 392.
*These courses count toward the total of 30 academic music semester hours required for the
B.M. degree.
'A suggested sequence of courses for those students who elect the Heritage Program is given
on pages 36 and 37.

Th? Heritage Program (see page 32). This program gives the student a
more flexible schedule and time to take additional courses of his interest and
need.
PRE-SEMINAJRY
Students planning professional careers in the church must plan to attain
the appropriate professional degree from a seminary, and should obtain a broad
undergraduate liberal arts basis as preparation for their professional education.
Any undergraduate major may be chosen, but students should especially con-
sider majors in Ancient Languages, English, History, Philosophy, Psychology,
Psychology-Sociology, Rehgion, or Sociology. The general foreign language re-
quirement is best met by German, Greek, or Latin as preparation for seminary
education.

This curriculum should also be followed by those planning to be Directors of
Christian Education.
PRELAW
No particular major or sequence of courses is necessary for students planning
to go to law school; there is no ideal pre-law program for all students. To do
well in the study of law, a student should possess
(a) ability to communicate effectively and precisely;
(b) critical understanding of the human institutions with which the law
deals;
(c) creative power in thinking.
Different students may obtain the desired training in these three areas from
different courses. Therefore, the student should consult with his faculty or
39
major adviser and with the pre-law adviser in designing a program of courses
that will best fit his particular needs, background, and interests. The student
with a pre-law interest should consult the pre-law adviser, Mr. Adams, from
time to time.
PRE-SOCIAL WORK
Students who wish to prepare for a professional career in Social Work
should plan a broad liberal arts program with a major in one of the social sciences.
Because of the widely varied opportunities in this field, no specific schedule of
courses is recommended for the Junior and Senior years. Instead, each student
is urged to consult with his faculty adviser to plan a schedule.
EDUCATIONAL CERTIFICATION PROGRAMS
TEACHER EDUCATION
A placement bureau for teachers is maintained under the direction of the
Department of Education. It seeks to further the interests of teachers educated at
Millsaps College and to be of service to school officials who wish to secure able
teachers.
Millsaps offers a major in elementary education at two levels: kindergarten
through the third grade; fourth through the eighth grade.
A major in secondary education is not offered; the student desirous of
secondary certification is required to major in some department other than
Education. For endorsement to teach, the student must take certain specified
courses in general education, specified courses in his major field, and specified
courses in Education.
State requirements for teaching certificates are quite detailed and specific,
and students must take the exact courses specified. It is the responsibility
of the student at both the elementary and secondary levels to coordinate courses
for certification to teach with requirements for graduation from Millsaps out-
lined on pages 32 and 33.
The courses listed below are specific courses required to qualify for the
Class A Elementary Certificate and the Class A Secondary Certificate.

MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY
Millsaps College offers a three year program for those who plan to enter
schools of medical technology. This college work includes not only the necessary
science and mathematics courses, but also courses in history, fine arts, sociology,
composition, literature and other courses which insure a liberal arts experience
for premedical technology students.
Millsaps College maintains a formal affiliation with several schools of
medical technology which are approved by the Council on Medical Education
and Hospitals of the American Medical Association. This is the only qualifying
board recognized by the American Medical Association, the American Society of
Clinical Pathologists, the American Colleges of Surgeons, the American Hospital
Association and other authoritative medical groups.
The medical technology student is expected to spend the first three years
at Millsaps College (or transfer here from another recognized college, with
at least the third year spent in residence here) and the senior year at the
approved hospital. The student must complete the general requirements for the
B.S. degree with a major in Biology, by taking the courses outlined below.
Students enrolled in approved schools of medical technology may transfer
back the final 26 hours of work. The courses required for registry are accepted
as completing the requirements of 128 semester hours for graduation. A satis-
factory grade on the national registry examination is accepted in lieu of the
departmental comprehensive oral examination. The B.S. degree is awarded at the
first commencement exercise following the completion of the medical technology
training and passing the national registry examination.
45
Medical technology students who wish to complete four years of college
may secure the B.S. or B.A. degree before entering an approved school of
medical technology.

SPECIAL PROGRAMS
THE HONORS PROGRAM
The Honors Program provides an opportunity for students of Junior standing
and of proven ability and initiative to examine together in a series of inter-
disciplinary colloquia matters of mutual interest and concern and at the same
time to pursue a course of independent directed study and research in areas
of their major disciplines. A student interested in participating in the Honors
Program should consult with the chairman of his department as early in his
academic career as possible. Specific requirements of this program are to be
found on page 97.
THE WASHINGTON SEMESTER
"The Washington Semester" is a joint arrangement between The American
University, Washington, D.C., Millsaps College and other colleges and universi-
ties 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 inter-
46
national agencies that are located in Washington, thus acquainting the students
with possible 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 Government and
Public Administration of The American University in Washington. They may
earn fifteen hours toward graduation in their home colleges. Six hours of credit
are earned in a Conference Seminar, in which high-ranking leaders of politics and
government meet with students. Three hours of credit are earned in a Research
Course which entails the writing of a paper by utilizing the resources available
only at the nation's capital. The remainder of a student's course load constitutes
electives which are taken from the normal offerings of American University. In
Washington the program is coordinated by faculty members of The American
University.
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. Exceptionally well-qualified sophomores are
occasionally accepted. The student technically remains an enrollee of his home
college for the purpose of scholarships and loans, which are thus not affected
by his participation in the program.
THE UNITED NATIONS SEMESTER
A cooperative program with Drew University in Madison, New Jersey,
enables Millsaps political science majors to spend a semester making a first
hand study of the work of the United Nations. Participants may earn fifteen
hours of credit toward graduation. Three hours of credit are earned in a Con-
ference Seminar, which meets two days of each week in the United Nations
Plaza. Members of the Secretariat, delegates, and special agency representatives
often lead discussions in a planned program of studies. Students also earn three
hours of credit by engaging in an individual research project on some phase of
the United Nations. The remaining hours of credit are electives taken from tlie
regular course offerings of Drew's liberal arts college.
The student technically rema'ns an enrollee of Millsaps College for the
purpo.se of scholarships and loans, which are thus not affected by his participation
in the program.
THE LONDON SEMESTER
Another cooperative program with Drew University enables upperclass
political science majors the opportunity to study in London, England, for a
semester. Fifteen hours of credit are earned in the social sciences, with primar>'
emphasis on political science. The faculty, including a resident director from
Drew, includes members of the faculty of the London School of Economics and
Political Science, Oxford University, Leeds University, and other outstanding
schools. Students live in a residential hotel in the heart of London. Provision is
made for an optional pre-Fall or post-Spring tour of the Continent at a modest
cost.
The student technically remains an enrollee of Millsaps College for the
purpose of scholarships and loans, which are thus not affected by his participation
in the program.
47
LEGISLATIVE INTERN PROGRAM
When the Mississippi Legislature is in session, selected political science
students may participate in an internship program which permits them to observe
the state law-making process. Students serve as aides to legislators and legislative
committees, performing a variety of tasks such as research, writing, and marking
up bills. Students also take part in a seminar with other interns to examine the
legislative process. See Political Science 452.
STUDY ABROAD PROGRAMS
Millsaps College maintains cooperative arrangements with the Junior Year
Abroad program at the Institute for American Universities at Aix-en-Provence, in
France, and with the Southwestern at Oxford summer study program. Other
study abroad programs are available in most countries of Western Europe as
well as in Latin America. Students interested in receiving college credit for
such study may receive information concerning these programs from the chairman
of the appropriate department or from the Academic Dean.
ACCOUNTING— BUSINESS— ECONOMICS
INTERN PROGRAM
Outstanding students have the opportunity of obtaining specialized training
and practical experience through an established Internship Program. The program
involves prominent regional and national business organizations and an agency
of the Federal government. The student's training is conducted and supervised
by competent management personnel according to a predetermined agenda of
activities. Evaluation of the student's participation and progress provides the
basis for granting appropriate academic credit. See Econ. 451-452.
COOPERATIVE PROGRAMS
With the permission of the Associate Dean and the chairman of the depart-
ment involved, full-time students in Millsaps College may enroll for certain
courses at either Belhaven College or Tougaloo College without additional fees.
Belhaven College is located a few blocks east of the Millsaps campus. Tougaloo
College is eight miles north, at the edge of Jackson.
These cooperative arrangements afford an opportunity for students to enroll
in courses either not offered at Millsaps College or not scheduled during the
appropriate semester or at an acceptable class hour.
MILLSAPS-GULF COAST RESEARCH LABORATORY
COOPERATIVE PROGRAM
Students at Millsaps College, especially those in Geology, Biology, and
Chemistry, are permitted to enroll for one or more courses each summer at
Gulf Coast Research Laboratory as a part of their regular program of studies.
The Laboratory is situated near Ocean Springs, 180 miles to the south of Jackson.
It offers some six courses which may be used as electives or as core courses in
the Millsaps curriculum. Summer work at the Laboratory provides first-hand
knowledge of the life on land, in the sea, and in a brackish water environment.
Another Millsaps-Gulf Coast Research Laboratory program is Gulf Coast
Summer Research in Marine Science. See National Science G480, page 50.

The ideas and culture of Greece and Rome live on today in their contribu-
tions to the culture of Western civilization. Intimate contact with the very words
which express the aspirations of those great spirits whose influence has been so
abiding and formative in the modem world should help shape the student's
character to fine and worthy purposes. Furthermore, this undertaking affords
a most rigorous exercise in the scientific method, producing habits and reflexes
of accuracy, efficiency, and system.

DR. MORSE MR. NICHOLAS MR, SEWELL
The objectives of the department are (1) to improve the student's economic
and business maturity, (2) to help him to become a better informed citizen,
(3) to provide him with a thorough foundation for graduate study, and (4) to
prepare him for a career in business or government.
Students majoring in the department will be graduated with either a Bachelor
of Arts or a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Accounting, Business
Administration, or Economics.
Requirements for Major in Economics: An economics major is required
to take Accounting 281-282, Mathematics 223-224 or 225-226 (Mathematics
115-116 are prerequisites), and Mathematics 172 or Psychology 271 during the
Sophomore year; Computer 300, Economics 303, 304, 348 or 372 during the
Junior year; Economics 361, 401, 348 or 372, and 402 or 404 during the
Senior year. (This program is designed to prepare the student for graduate
studies in Economics or Business. A major in mathematics would be an ideal
complement.)
57
Requirements for Major in Business Administration: A business administra-
tion major is required to take Accounting 281-282, Economics 201-202 during
the Sophomore year; Business 251, 335-336, and Speech 101; Computer 300
and Mathematics 172 or Psychology 271 during the Junior year; Business 401-
402, 411-412, and 451-452 or 12 semester hours of electives approved by the
chairman during the Senior year. (This program of study is designed to strike
a balance between course work and practical application. It is not intended as a
preparation for graduate studies; consequently Mathematics 103-104 satisfies the
department's requirement for six hours of freshman mathematics.)
Requirements for Major in Accounting: An accounting major is required
to take Accounting 281-282, and Mathematics 172 or Psychology 271 during
the Sophomore year; Computer 300, Economics 303, 304, Business 251 or 252,
362, Accounting 381-382, and 391 during the Junior year; Accounting 392,
395, and 398 during the Senior year. (While Mathematics 103-104 satisfies
the department's requirement for six hours of freshmen mathematics the student
who expects to attend graduate school should complete the 115-116 sequence.
This curriculum, including Business 252, is considered adequate preparation
for the CPA examination.)
Other Requirements and Programs: The student interested in Public Ad-
ministration rather than Business Administration may substitute three courses in
Political Science, approved by the department Chairman, for the Business 401-
402, 411-412 requirement. Students are required to take three hours of the
Behavioral Science requirement outside of the Department. Students are en-
couraged to satisfy the Philosophy requirement with Philosophy 201 and 311.
An Internship Program (451-452), required of business majors, is also available
to other department majors. The department offers as survey courses for all
students: Economics 201-202, Accounting 281-282, and Business 131 and 251.
Transfer Credit: Transfer students should normally expect to satisfy the
statistics requirement at Millsaps. The first six hours of accounting principles
will normally satisfy the department's 281-282 requirement; the typical six
hours of Sophomore economics will normally satisfy the Economics 201-202
requirement for Business majors.

Administration
of The Curriculum
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 work is
not completed by the end of the following semester.
QUALITY POINTS
The completion of any academic course with a grade of "D" shall entitle
a student to one quality point for each semester hour, the completion of a
course with a grade of "C" for the semester shall entitle a student to two
quality points for each semester hour, the completion of a course with a grade
of "B" for the semester shall entitle a student to three quality points for each
semester hour, and the completion of a course with a grade of "A" shall entitle
a student to four quality points for each semester hour. A quality point index
is arrived at by dividing the total number of quality points by the number
of academic hours taken. The change from a 3.00 to a 4.00 quality point
index became effective at Millsaps College on June 5, 1968.
CLASS STANDING OF STUDENTS
The following number of hours and quality points is required:
For sophomore rating 24 hours; 24 quality points
For junior rating _ 52 hours; 72 quality points
For senior rating 90 hours; 144 quality points
A student's classification for the entire year is on the basis of his status at
the beginning of the fall semester.
96
GRADUATION WITH DISTINCTION
A student whose quality point index is 3.2 for his entire course shall be
graduated Cum Laude; one whose quality point index is 3.6 and who has a
rating of excellent on the comprehensive examination shall be graduated Magna
Cum Laude; and one whose quality point index is 3.9 and who has a rating
of excellent on the comprehensive examination shall be graduated Summa Cum
Laude.
To be eligible for graduation Cum Laude, Magna Cum Laude or Summa
Cum Laude, a student must have passed at least sixty academic semester hours
in Millsaps College. Distinction or special distinction may be refused a student
who, in the judgment of the faculty, has forfeited his right.
In determining eligibility for distinction or special distinction 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.
GRADUATION WITH HONORS: THE HONORS PROGRAM
A full-time student with Junior standing who has an over-all quality point
index of 3.0 may during the first semester of his Junior year apply to his de-
partment chairman for permission to declare himself a candidate for honors.
Admission requires acceptance of the student by the chairman of the depart-
ment and approval by the Honors Council. Entrance into the Honors Program
becomes effective as of the spring semester of the Junior year.
The Honors Program extends over three semesters. A student admitted into
the Program will in the second semester of his Junior year enroll with his honors
adviser in a directed study entitled Honors I (Colloquium). Enrollment in Honors
II and Honors III (Research) will ordinarily follow in the fall and spring
semesters of the Senior year. A letter grade will be given for each of these
courses. The three semesters of honors work are intended to culminate in an
honors paper to be presented to the Honors Council and defended before an
examining board.
The first semester in the Honors Program consists of an Honors Colloquium
designed to bring together for the purpose of intellectual exchange all those
students participating in the Honors Program. The aim of the Honors Colloquium
is the total involvement of good minds in the exchange of ideas and values
centering around selected themes and areas of investigation of mutual interest
to all disciplines. The Honors Colloquium is an interdisciplinary venture and
is required of all students entering the Honors Program.
A candidate who completes the honors work satisfactorily, who presents and
defends the honors paper satisfactorily, who has a 3.0 overall quality point
index, and who has a 3.33 index in honors work will be graduated with Honors.
A candidate who has a 3.6 overall quality point index, who has a 4.0 index in
honors work and who in the estimation of the examining board has presented
a superior honors paper will be graduated with High Honors.
A student may voluntarily withdraw his candidacy for honors at any time.
Students enrolled in honors courses are, however, bound by the general college
97
rules for dropping a course and for receiving course credit. Candidacy may be
involuntarily terminated at any time upon the recommendation of the honors
adviser and with the approval of the Honors Council.
DEAN'S LIST
Those meeting the following requirements are honored by inclusion on the
Dean's List:
1. Scholarship:

semester of 3.2;
(c) The student must have no mark lower than a C for the preceding
semester.
2. Conduct:
The student must be, in the judgment of the deans, a good citizen of the
college community.
REPORTS
Reports are sent at the close of each nine weeks to the parent or 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.
No student may take more than seventeen semester hours of academic work
unless he has a quality index of 2.5 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 3.00 on the latest previous college
term or semester and obtains permission from the Associate Dean. No student
may receive credit for more than twenty-one hours in a semester under any
circumstances.
A freshman student may not enroll for more than eight hours of laboratory
science courses in any one semester except upon the recommendation of the
student's official advisor.
Any student who is permitted to take more than eighteen semester hours
of work will be charged one-half the special student tuition for each additional
hour per semester.
No student can be registered for courses in another college at the same
time he is enrolled in Millsaps without the written permission of the Associate
Dean.
98
ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATIONS
CHANGE OF SCHEDULE
A student cannot change classes or drop classes or take up new classes ex-
cept by the consent of the Associate Dean, his faculty adviser, and all faculty
members concerned. Courses dropped within the first two weeks 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.
WITHDRAWAL
A student desiring to withdraw from college within any term must obtain
permission from the Associate Dean and file a withdrawal card. No refund will be
considered unless this written notice is procured and presented to the Business
Office.
Refunds upon withdrawal will be made only as outlined elsewhere in this
catolog imder 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 pennission receives
a grade of F in each course.
Enforced withdrawal may result from habitual delinquency in class, or
any other circumstance 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 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 entitled to
a report card or to a transcript of credits until he shall have settled 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.
Furthermore, the maximum number of semesters a student may be on aca-
demic probation without automatic exclusion is two.
Students who are requested not to re-enter because of academic failure
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.
99
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 1.5 will be placed on probation. Re-
stricted attendance privileges apply for all courses in which such students
are enrolled.
Students who are on probation may be removed by making a 2.00 quality
point index during a regular semester or during a summer session at Mill-
saps College in which the student is enrolled for at least twelve hours
credit. A student is asked not to re-enroll at Millsaps College if he is on
academic probation more than two semesters during his college program.
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. Restricted attendance privileges may apply for
such a student in all courses in which he is enrolled.
CLASS ATTENDANCE
Irregular attendance is an indication to the faculty member that the student
may be having difficulties adjusting to the work of the course or to college in
general. The primary responsibility for counseling with students with respect to
their absence rests with the faculty member; but in the following circumstances, the
faculty member is expected to bring the student's unsatisfactory attendance
record to the attention of the Dean of Students:
1. For a freshman — whenever his total absences are equal to twice the
number of class meetings per week.
2. For any student —
a. When he has been absent three successive class meetings for reasons
unknown to the instructor.
b. Whenever a student's absence record is such that he is in danger
of failing the course.
This reporting of absences to the Dean of Students is for counseling purposes
only, and has no effect on the student's grade in the course.
Individual faculty members decide for themselves the manner and extent
to which absences alone will affect a student's grade. Each faculty member is
expected to outline his policy in this respect to each class at the beginning of each
semester. This may extend to dismissal from the course with a grade of
"F" for reasons solely of absence.
Absences are excusable only by the individual faculty member, but an ex-
cused absence does not excuse the student from being responsible for the course
work that was presented in his absence. Explanations for a student's absence
provided by a parent, medical doctor, or a member of the faculty or administra-
tion may be helpful to the faculty member, but such explanations are not in
themselves excuses. This is particularly important in the case of absences in-
volving missed examinations, late assignments, laboratory sessions and similar
scheduled commitments. Faculty members, however, may not excuse students
100
from attendance on the two days preceding and the two days following vacation
periods without the express permission of the Associate Dean.
Each student is responsible for becoming familiar with the general attend-
ance policy of the College and with the particular policies operative in his classes.
Further elaboration of the policies and procedures relating to attendance are to
be found in the student handbook, MAJOR FACTS.
SENIOR EXEMPTIONS
Seniors may be exempt from final examination in all subjects in which
they have maintained a grade of C. These exemptions are allowed only at the
end of the semester in which they complete the comprehensive examination for
graduation. It shall be understood, however, that this exemption does not insure
the student 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 semester in
which they complete their comprehensive, scholastic requirements being met.
Seniors may be allowed one special examination in any subject taken and
failed in the senior year. Permission for such examination must be secured from
the Associate Dean.
STUDENT BEHAVIOR
Millsaps students are expected to act with honesty and integrity in personal,
social and academic relationships, and with consideration and concern for the
community, its members and its property. The use of intoxicating beverages is
not a part of, nor does it contribute to, the total educational emphasis of Mill-
saps College. The use or possession of alcoholic beverages within the boundaries
of the campus or at functions sponsored by an organization of the college is
prohibited. The use, possession, or distribution of narcotics or dangerous drugs
except as expressly permitted by law is likewise prohibited.
A more comprehensive statement is contained in the student handbook.
Specific regulations pertaining to academics, residence halls and other facets of
campus life are included in this and other publications available through the
Student Affairs Office.

Part V
Student Life
RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES
Millsaps College, as an institution of The United Methodist Church, seeks
to be a genuinely Christian college. The faculty is composed of scholars who
are committed to religious and ethical values and who strive to fulfill the
highest ideals of personal devotion and of community citizenship. The great
majority of the students are members of various Christian denominations or groups
whose purposes and interests are in consonance with those of the College. The
religious life of the College centers around the churches of Jackson and the
campus religious program.
Stimulation and coordination of the religious life of the campus is the
function of the Director of Religious Life and of the Committee on Religious
Activities. The Director of Religious Life maintains direct contact with student
religious groups to encourage and support their activities, and his office pro-
vides religious counseling and assistance both to groups and to individual students.
The Religious Activities Committee, consisting of faculty and student members,
attempts to determine the religious needs of the college community and, in
cooperation with the Director of Religious Life, to provide special programs
and emphases as required.
Student religious groups vary widely and in recent years have tended to
become less formal and structured than formerly. Students desiring the more
structured type of young adult programs are encouraged to affiliate with estab-
lished activities in local churches of their choice. Some campus groups are
organized along denominational lines, while others have a more ecumenical
orientation and attempt to provide discussion, study, activities and projects which
will appeal to all students, whether or not they are affiliated with a specific
church. An effort is made to provide some opportunities for regular worship on
the campus for all students, and for special programs, lecturers and other
activities as appropriate. The J. Lloyd Decell Lectureship, established by the
Board of Trustees, provides funds for bringing to the campus special lecturers
and other programs which emphasize religious issues and concerns.
The Ministerial League has provided special programs and field work
appropriate to the needs of students preparing for the Christian ministry or
other full-time religious vocations. The Director of Town and Country Work
offers courses in the Department of Religion bearing on the opportunities and
responsibilities of the parish ministry. The Director also works with those students
holding church appointments and preparing to go into the active ministry,
helping them to plan and organize adequate programs in their parishes.
All administrators and faculty members consider it a part of their respon-
sibilities to counsel with students about their religious life and problems in an
effort to help the student come to a mature interpretation of the total life
experience. In this maturing process the development of sound religious and
ethical values and commitment is considered a very necessary element.
MILLSAPS CONVOCATION SERIES
Millsaps College recognizes that its responsibility for liberal education goes
beyond provision of a curriculum of academic courses and credits.
The Millsaps Convocation Series is designed to offer rich co-curricular
opportunities to Millsaps students and to the general public, opportunities for
awareness and appreciation of the arts, for understanding of the work of the
104
various sciences, and for alertness to the intellectual and social issues which
responsible persons must face intelligently.
The Series consists of lectures, plays, movies, readings, concerts, recitals,
panels, symposia, open forums, and other programs led by students, faculty,
and visiting lecturers, performers, or public figures. AH these have to do with
the true aim of liberal education: the liberation of the mind to grasp the world
of nature and of human experience and action in all its richness and complexity,
and to respond with awareness, sensitivity, concern, and mature judgment.
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, emotional,
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.
Intercollegiate Athletics
1. The program for men includes football, basketball, baseball, tennis, golf,
archery, and track. There is no intercollegiate program for women.
2. The program is conducted on guidelines established by the National Col-
legiate Athletic Association of which Millsaps College is a member.
3. Those who participate in intercollegiate athletics are required to ob-
serve and maintain the same academic standards as other students.
4. In scheduling games, preference is given to colleges that conduct an athletic
program on a basis similar to that at Millsaps.
Intramural Athletics
1. The program for men provides competition among campus organizations in
basketball, volleyball, Softball, tennis, track, soccer, and golf. Rules are
made and administered by the Intramural Council, composed of student
representatives with the Intramural Director as an ex-officio member.
2. The program for women is administered by a faculty Director, assisted by
the Majorette Club, whose student members head the teams that compete
in such sports as badminton, volleyball, tennis, basketball, and softball. Elec-
tion to this club provides recognition for athletic participation.
Athletic Facilities
1. The gymnasium provides a large playing floor for volleyball, badminton, and
basketball. It has dressing rooms for all teams, a room for visiting teams,
trainer's room complete with equipment for injuries, a class room, and shower
and locker rooms for students.
2. The baseball diamond, separate from the football field, is also used as the
intramural soccer field. There are also softball diamonds and a quarter-
mile track.
3. Five tennis courts are situated near the gjonnasium.
4. A nine-hole golf course is available for use by all students.

TROUBADOURS

the South, and frequently abroad. In 1964 they toured military installations in
Germany and France for eight weeks. In 1967 they were featured in a concert

Caribbean Command, performing for the Armed Forces under the auspices of
the USO. In 1969, they returned to Europe for eight weeks, with programs

106
and the Lion," "The Zoo Story," "Camino Real," "Macbeth," "Luther," "Oliverl"

tion in the productions earns one extracurricular credit each semester.
DEBATE
Since the College was founded, debate and forensics has occupied an im-
portant place in its activities. Teams from Millsaps participate in several tourna-
ments annually, competing against teams from all sections of the nation. Students
may receive curricular or extracurricular credit for participation in debate.
