FOREWORD
Experiences 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 ll-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 1971-1972 session of
the College. The academic calendar of the 1972-1973 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-rounded 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 dedicated 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 modern 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 modern 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 attitude 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, capa-
cities, 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 responsibility to neighbor, state, and church.

Trustees of Millsaps College, 1955-56

Information For
Prospective Students
Founded February 21, 1890, Milisaps is one of the youngest
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 control of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South."
Among the members of this commission were Major Reuben
Webster Milisaps, Jackson businessman and banker, who offered to
give $50,000 to endow the institution, provided Methodists through-
out the state matched this amount.
Under the leadership of Bishop Charles Betts Galloway, the
Methodists met the challenge of Major Milisaps. The charter for the
College was granted February 21, 1890, and the College opened its
doors in the fall of 1 892. Co-education was instituted in the seventh
session.
The growth of the College through the years has been made
possible by gifts from innumerable benefactors. Besides the generous
gifts of Major Milisaps, 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. Buie family, the C. R. Ridgway
family, Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Bacot, and Robert Mason Strieker. Other
individuals have endowed scholarship and loan funds, which are
described elsewhere in this catalog.
First president of the College was William Belton Murrah, who
served until 1910. Along with Bishop Galloway and Major Milisaps,
Bishop Murrah is commonly thought of as one of the founders of
the College.
Other presidents have been David Carlisle Hull, M.A., (1910-
1912); Alexander 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 Ellis Finger, 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 president in the
summer of 1 970.
As a church related college under the joint sponsorship of the
Mississippi and North Mississippi Conferences of the United Metho-
dist Church, Milisaps adheres to the view that one of the fundamental
bases of a church-related institution is Christian in the sense that
knowledge of truth is part of its work. Milisaps, therefore, is not
narrow in its outlook.
As a small college with an enrollment of approximately 1,000
students, the close personal relationship that exists among students,
faculty, and administration at Milisaps is one of the most vital parts
of the college experience.
Milisaps is a co-educational college with an enrollment approxi-
mately equal between men and women.
GENERAL INFORMATION
HISTORY
OF THE
COLLEGE
GENERAL
INFORMATION
Millsaps is a liberal arts college with the primary aim of training
ts students for responsible citizenship and well-rounded lives rather
han for narrow professional careers. One of the chief curses of our
nodern society is that so many of our people are expert lawyers, or
lectors, or business men, or brick layers, without at the same time
leing good citizens. Millsaps attempts to remedy this situation by
raining its students, in whatever field of study they may choose,
0 be community leaders and responsible citizens.
Offering professional and pre-professional training balanced by
:ultural and disciplinary studies, the College recognizes that training
vhich will enable a person to support himself adequately is an essen-
ial part of a well-rounded education. Therefore, the student at
vAiilsaps can obtain the necessary courses to prepare him directly for
1 business career or for service in education, the ministry, or social
vork; he can study music as preparation for professional work in
he field, as well as for its esthetic and cultural value; and he can
ibtain thoroughly sound basic courses which will prepare him for
)rofessional study in medicine, dentistry, law, and other fields. Pro-
essional leaders in all fields recognize that the most valuable mem-
)ers of their profession are those who have something more in their
)ackground than narrow technical study.
The College selects its student carefully on their ability to think,
desire to learn, good moral character, and intellectual maturity. The
primary consideration in acting on all applications for admission is
he ability to do college work in a measure satisfactory to the College
)nd beneficial to the student.
Millsaps has a cosmopolitan student body representing a whole
geographical area and including persons of all races and religious
Faiths. During a typical semester, approximately thirty states and a
nalf-dozen foreign countries are represented in the student body. In
terms of religious affiliation, the students come from some twenty-
Five different denominations.
The capital city of the state gives the College an ideal location.
NAany educational advantages may be found in Jackson in addition
1-0 the courses offered at the College. The State Department of Ar-
:hives 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 Jack-
son 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.
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 Church,
Millsaps College is recognized by the General Board of Education
of the United Methodist Church as one of its strongest institutions.
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Library of Millsaps College currently contains approximately
100,000 volumes and 650 periodical subscriptions.
The library was begun in 1 905 on a grant of Andrew Carnegie
and an endowment of Major Millsaps. In 1925 the Carnegie Corpora-
tion provided the funds for a new building which was redecorated in
1944.
An enlarged and remodeled building was dedicated in Sep-
tember, 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. In addition to research materials, there is a collection
of audiovisual materials and dial-access listening facilities.
Special collections in the library include the Lehman Engel
Collection of books, manuscripts, recordings, art objects and corres-
pondence relating to the theatre and the arts; the Mississippi Metho-
dist Archives, administered by Dr. J. B. Cain; a rare book collection;
and the Kellogg Collection of juvenile books and curriculum materials.
The library hours are as follows: Monday through Thursday,
7:45 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.; Friday, 7:45 a.m. to 5:00 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 campus, covering nearly 100 acres in the center of a beauti-
ful 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 Sullivan-Harrell Science Hall in 1928; and the Buie Memorial
Gymnasium in 1936. The James Observatory provides excellent facili-
ties 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 possible 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-condi-
tioned.
In 1955 the Carnegie-Milisaps 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.

week. Grades of 5 or 4 on the CEEB Advanced Placement Tests are
accepted for advanced placement.
A student who has made a score of 5 or 4 on one or more
CEEB Advanced Placement Tests is automatically eligible to receive
course credit as well as advanced placement in the appropriate field
or fields. The amount of credit corresponds to the amount of course
work waived, up to a maximum of 8 semester hours in any one field.
The student must decide whether or not to accept an award of course
credit prior to registration for his first semester. The student is
advised to consult his assigned faculty adviser or the chairman of
the appropriate department before making his decision.

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 Com-
mittee 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 Admissions.
2. He should fill out this application blank and the accompanying
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 Committee, nor
is it credited to the student's account. The fee is used to defray
a portion of the expense of processing the application for ad-
mission or readmission.
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. The
transfer applicant is not required to submit these forms.
4. He should have his high school principal or college registrar send
an official transcript of his credits directly to the Director of
Admissions. 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 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 during the
senior year.
If the prospective student is in school at the time he applies for
admission, 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.
The fundamental objective of alf 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 counseling, and specialists from the com-
munity 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:

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 educational objectives before he enters
his classes in the fall semester. Students who have been admitted
are urged to take advantage of this service.
All freshmen are expected to be on the campus on August 28,
1972, to participate in the orientation program. Transfer students
are expected on Tuesday, August 29, 1972. This program is developed
and executed cooperatively by students and faculty for the purpose
of assisting students to be adequately prepared for entering fully into
the college program.
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 academic program. At the time a student chooses his major field
of study, his major professor automatically becomes his faculty adviser.
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.
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 char-
acteristics.
The housing program of the College is coordinated by the Dean
of Men and the Dean of Women in cooperation with the dormitory
housemothers, counselors, 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 regulations by which resident
women students are governed are formulated and administered 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 hous-
ing facilities, unless they have received permission, in writing, through
the Office of Student Personnel to live in off-campus housing. Appli-
cation forms for permission to live off campus are available in the
Student Personnel Office. Out-of-town students wishing to live off
campus should complete these forms and receive approval in advance
of any move and before incurring obligations to a prospective land-
lord. 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 assignments are made in the order in which

students' reservation fees or completed applications have been re-
ceived, 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 assignment in writing within two weeks of the notifica-
tion. 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.
The College Dining Hall and the College Grill are located in HININP
the Boyd Campbell Student Center. These food services are under
contract to a professional food service company to assure the best FACILITIES
in food and service at moderate rates. The average cost per meal
to the student is 67<i. Three meals per day purchased with cash will
average $1.20 per meal.
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.
The medical services are designed to provide treatment and care MEDIOAL
for students with minor illnesses, diagnostic and referral services and
to implement preventive and educational programs. The services of SERVICES
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 heart of a small college is the close relationship between STUDENT
students and faculty. From this relationship pulses the life-blood of
the campus in the form of mutual confidence, mutual respect, and CENTER
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 activi-
ties; by providing a central location for the cafeteria, the grill, the
post office, and the bookstore; by serving as a focal point for com-
muters and off-campus students; and by providing a general unifying
influence for the entire campus.
FACILrriES AND SERVICES 14
Financial Information
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.

Mr. and Mrs. T. A. Gilbert of Meridian, Mississippi, as a memorial
to their son, Kenneth, who lost his life in World War II. He received
the B.S. degree from Millsaps in 1935 and was a member of Kappa
Sigma fraternity.

wanis Club. Any deserving junior or senior is eligible to participate
in this program if he has financial need. Loan applications should
be made to the Awards Committee or the Administrative Committee
of the College. These committees will review the application and
make the final decision regarding the loan.
The Graham R. McFarlane Loan Scholarship was created by the Mc-
Farlane family to be used as a loan without interest to young people,
preferably of the Christian Church, who are going into full-time
religious work either as ministers or directors of religious education
in that denomination. Graham was a Millsaps graduate and lost his
life in the Texas City disaster in 1947. The scholarship will be ad-
ministered by the administration of the College and the executive
secretary of the Christian Churches of the state.
The National Defense Student Loan Program enables qualified stu-
dents to borrow up to $1,000 per year for educational purposes.
Repayment of the loan begins the first day of the tenth month after

at an interest rate of 3 percent. Students in any field of study are
eligible for such loans provided they meet the established require-
ments. Detailed information concerning these loans and application
forms can be secured from the Director of Financial Aid.
J. D. Slay Ministerial Loan Fund was established in 1966 by the Board
of Trustees of the J. D. Slay Ministerial Loan Fund to honor Dr.
J. D. Slay, who has served as a minister of the Methodist Church
for many years. Funds for this program are obtained through gifts
and contributions made by his many friends and co-workers. Prefer-
ence for these loans shall be given to ministerial students.
United Methodist Student Loan Fund was established by the Board of
Education of the United Methodist Church and administered on the
campus by the Director of Religious Life and Academic Dean. Appli-
cants must be members of the United Methodist Church, full-time
candidates, wholly or partially self-supporting, and must have main-
tained a grade average of C during the term immediately preceding
application.
United Student Aid Funds are available at Millsaps. Under the pro-
visions of this program, and dependent upon availability of funds,
qualifying students may borrow up to $1,500 per year for educational
purposes. Loan repayment begins nine months after the student leaves
school. The maximum rate is 7% simple interest. Students in any
field of study are eligible for such loans provided they meet the
established requirements. Detailed information concerning these loans
and application forms can be secured from the College. Loans are
made through a participating lending institution; however the Awards
Committee of the College must first approve the application.

Curriculum
REQUIREMENTS FOR DEGREES
The entering student — particularly at the freshman level — has the option of follow-
ing the traditional program of requirements, or of following the modified 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 pattern of disciplines.
Heritage Program. This program, an outgrowth of a comprehensive curriculum
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, classical studies, communication skills, etc.,
but in the Heritage Program he approaches all of these within an interdisciplinary frame-
work. Lectures and discussion 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:

applied toward a B.A. or 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
1 8 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 pro-
ficiency 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 completing
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.
2|f 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).
3|n 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 not completed Heritage 101-102 must take three of the required hours in
Religion in a course dealing with the Biblical heritage of western culture: 201, 202, 301, 302, 311.
The remaining three hours of the requirement, and the three hours required of students who have
completed Heritage 101-102, may be chosen from any course offered by the Department of Religion.
'The Behavioral Sciences are: Economics, Political Science, Psychology and Sociology.
•Year courses only are acceptable toward meeting this requirement.
DEGREE REQUIREMENTS 33
The examination is given by the English Department at two stated times in thee
academic year. The regular administration is on the second Thursday in November from
4 to 6:30 p.m. in Sullivan-Harr^ll 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 examination and who think they have com-
pelling 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 ad-
ministration 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 themselves 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 Business Manager 4
Physical Education (Elective) 6 Bobashela Editorial Staff 6
Purple and White Editor 4 Bobashela Business Staff 6
Purple and White Business Stylus Editor 4
Manager 4 Stylus Business Manager 4
Purple and White Department Players 6
Editors 6 Millsaps Singers 6
Purple and White Staff 6 Student Government Officers 4
Bobashela Editor 4 Student Government Representatives 6
(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, Mathe-
matics, 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 depart-
ment of instruction.
Students may be permitted to major in a subject only after careful consideration
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 DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
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 partially 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 satisfactory com-
prehensive 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 understanding 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 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 in which
he has credit and in which he is currently enrolled complete the requirements in the
major department. He may take the examination in the spring semester if he will be
within 1 8 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 comprehensive exami-
nation may have an opportunity to take another examination after the lapse of two
months. Additional examinations may be taken at the discretion of the chairman of the
student's major department with the consent of the Dean of the Faculty.
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 quality 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
application 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 summer school. Forms for
degree applications are to be secured and filed in the Registrar's Office.
DEGREE REQUIREMENTS 35
14. Requirements for second degree:
In order to earn a second degree from Millsaps College a student must have thirtyi
additional semester hours of work beyond the 128 semester hours required for thei
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 ap-
propriate 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 requirements.
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. 1 31 -1 32 and 1 51 -1 52 . 1 0 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 requirements. 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.
i|f foreign language Is chosen for the degree requirement, the student must earn 6 hrs. of
201 -202 credit.
2ln 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.

Flexible schedule and time to take additional courses of his interest and need.
PRE-SEMINARY
Students planning professional careers in the church should plan to attain the
appropriate professional degree from a theological seminary, and should seek a broad
jndergraduate liberal arts basis as preparation for their professional education. Foreign
anguage should be chosen as a degree requirement: German, Greek, or Latin will
provide the best preparation for seminary education.
Pre-seminary students should consider majors in Religion, Ancient Languages,
English, History, Philosophy, Psychology, or Sociology. Whatever major is chosen, such
students should plan at least eighteen hours of work in Religion.
Students planning to work as Directors of Christian Education should consider
the same choice of majors, and should also take a minimum of eighteen hours of work
n Religion, including Religion 252 (The Educational Work of the Church). In addi-
tion, they should plan considerable work in courses in Psychology and Education, and
>hould consult the adviser to Pre-Ministerial students for specific suggestions.
Some students planning work in Christian Education may wish to combine their
jndergraduate preparation for theological seminary work with a major in elementary
education or a program looking toward certification for secondary school teaching.
If one of these courses is chosen the appropriate adviser in the Department of Education
should be consulted, as well as the adviser to Pre-Ministerial students. Requirements
For teacher certification are quite extensive, and the student must plan a program
ivhich will cover these requirements while allowing a minimum of twelve hours work
n Religion, including Religion 252.
DEGREE PROGRAMS 39
All students planning professional careers in the church are urged to consult with'
the adviser to Pre-Ministerial students in planning a program to fill out the basic
sequences suggested below, and one which will fit their individual needs and interests
while preparing them for their professional education in a theological seminary. Pre-
Ministerial students should be in contact with their District Superintendent and
Conference Board of Ministry, and students planning work in Christian Education
with their Conference Board of Education. Such students who are not Methodist should
contact the appropriate official or committee of their own denomination.

PRE-LAW
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 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 De-
partment 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 endorse-
ment 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 outlined 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 authorita-
tive 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 com-
pleting the requirements of 128 semester hours for graduation. A satisfactory 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.
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 93.
THE WASHINGTON SEMESTER
"The Washington Semester" is a joint arrangement between The American
University, Washington, D.C., Millsaps College and 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 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 spring 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 Conference Seminar, which meets
two days of each week in the United Nations Plaza. Members of the Secretariat,
SPECIAL PROGRAMS 47
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 indi--
vidual research project on some phase of the United Nations. The remaining hours?
of credit are eiectives taken from the regular course offerings of Drew's liberal arts
college.
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.
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 primary 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.
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 aids 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.
ECONOMICS— ACCOUNTING— ADMINISTRATION
INTERN PROGRAM
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 participa-
tion 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 department
involved, full-time students in Millsaps College may enroll for certain courses at either
Belhaven College or Tougaloo College without additional fees. Beihaven 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.

ECONOMICS, ACCOUNTINq AND ADMINISTRATION
The Dan White Chair of Economics
Professor: RICHARD BRUCE BALTZ, Ph.D., Chairman
Assistant Professors: STEVE CARROLL WELLS, C.P.A.
GUY THOMSON SOLIE, M.B.A.
Instructors: JACQUELINE G. JONES, M.B.A.
SAMUEL JOHN NICHOLAS, JR., LL.B.
DIANE TRIPLETT PEARSON, M.B.A.
Adjunct Professor: LAWRENCE B. MORSE, Ph.D.
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 administration.
ECONOMICS, ACCOUNTING, AND ADMINISTRATION 55
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^ 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 Economics 371 or Mathematics 172 or Psychology 271 during the
Sophomore or Junior year; Administration 271, 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.)
Requirements for Major in Accounting: The program of study for a major in
Accounting is considered adequate preparation for the CPA examination. While this
program prepares a student for a professional career in Accounting, it can also be appro-
priate preparation for graduate studies in operations management or management science,
by complementing the Mathematics 115-116 sequence in place of the department's
requirement for Mathematics 103-104. Accounting 281-282 must be completed before
the Junior year.
An accounting major is required to take Accounting 281-282, and Mathematics
103-104 before the Junior year; Economics 371 or Psychology 271 or Mathematics 172
and Administration 271 during the Sophomore or Junior year; Economics 303, 304,
Administration 362, Accounting 381-382, and 391 during the Junior year; Accounting
392, 395, 398 and Administration 222 during the Senior year.
Requirements for Major in Administration: The program of study for a major in
Administration is designed to strike a balance between course work and practical appli-
cation. It is also flexible enough that a student may complete department requirements
in four semesters. This program is not intended as a preparation for graduate studies,
consequently Mathematics 103-104 satisfies the department's Mathematics requirement.
An Administration major is normally required to take Accounting 281-282,
Economics 201-202 and Mathematics 103-104 before the Junior year: Economics 371
or Psychology 271 or Mathematics 172 and Administration 271 during the Sophomore
or Junior year; Administration 222, 335, 336 during the Junior year; Administration
451-452 during the Senior year and 10 hours in the department to include Administra-
tion 401-402, 345-346 or the substitution of at least 9 comparable hours approved
by the department chairman to satisfy Administration options in areas other than in
Business. These options may include such areas as public administration, office ad-
ministration, personnel administration, fine arts administration, science administration,
social service administration, and others approved by the department chairman.
Other Requirements and Programs: Bachelor of Arts majors in the department
are encouraged to satisfy the Philosophy requirement with Philosophy 201 and 311.
An Internship Program (451-452), required of Administration majors, is also available
to other majors. The department offers as survey courses for all students the following
courses: Economics 201, 202, Accounting 281, 282, and Administration 131 and 222.
Other upper-division courses are suitable without specific prerequisites.
Several courses in the department are offered on a segmented basis, where students
attend specific class sessions for partial credit. The courses are Economics 201, 361,
Accounting 395, and Administration 335, 336.
56 ECONOMICS, ACCOUNTING, AND ADMINISTRATION
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 Administration
majors.

The Mathematics courses at Millsaps are intended ( 1 ) to offer an experience
in a sufficient variety of basic and liberal subjects to constitute the foundation of that
general education which is regarded as essential to balanced development and intelligent
citizenship; (2) to meet the needs of four types of students — (a) those who will
proceed to the usual academic degrees at the end of four years; (b) those who will
enter graduate or professional schools after three or four years; (c) those who are
preparing for teaching, scientific investigation, or both; and (d) those who will take
less than a complete academic program.

Administration
Of The Curriculum
k
The grade of the student in any class is determined by the
combined class standing and the result of a written examination. The
examination 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 pre-
scribed work.
"C" represents an average level of achievement in the regularly pre-
scribed 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.
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.
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.

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 per-
mission of the Associate Dean.
A student cannot change classes or drop classes or take up
new classes except 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

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 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.

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.
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. Restricted attendance privileges apply for all
courses in which such students are enrolled.
Students may be removed from probation by making a 2.00
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. A student is asked
not to re-enroll at Millsaps College if he is on academic proba-
tion 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 atten-
dance privileges may apply for such a student in all courses in
which he is enrolled.
Probation
irregular attendance is an indication to the faculty member that
the students may be having difficulties adjusting to the work of the
course or to college in general. The primary responsibility for coun-
seling 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 Associate Dean:
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 Associate Dean 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 excused 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 administration may be helpful
to the faculty member, but such explanations are not in themselves
excuses. This is particularly important in the case of absences involv-
ing missed examinations, late assignments, laboratory sessions and
similar scheduled commitments. Faculty members, however, may not
excuse students 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 attendance 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.
Students may elect to be exempt from final examinations in the
semester in which they complete their comprehensive examinations,
but only in those courses in which they have a "C" average or better.
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 re-
quirements 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.
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
Board of Trustees and the administration affirm the right of the
individual to the privacy of his room. The use of intoxicating bev-
erages is not a part of, nor does it contribute to, the total educational
emphasis of Millsaps College. The use, possession, or distribution of
intoxicants, narcotics, or dangerous drugs, such as marijuana and
LSD, except as expressly permitted by law, is not permitted. The
Board of Trustees does not approve of the use of alcoholic beverages
on the Millsaps campus. Gambling is not permitted within the pre-
cincts of the College.

Student Life
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 provides 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 en-
couraged to affiliate with established 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 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 appoint-
ments 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 responsibilities 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 commit-
ment Is considered a very necessary element.
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 under-

standing of the work of the 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.
All 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
*vith awareness, sensitivity, concern, and mature judgment.
The athletic policy of Miilsaps 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 contribu-
tion, 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-ail program and to encourage as many students
as possible to participate in some form of intramural or intercollegiate
athletic competition.
The program for men includes football, basketball, baseball,
tennis, golf, archery, and track. There is no intercollegiate program
For women.
The program is conducted on guidelines established by the
National Collegiate Athletic Association of which Miilsaps College is
a member.
Those who participate in intercollegiate athletics are required to
observe and maintain the same academic standards as other students.
In scheduling games, preference is given to colleges that conduct
an athletic program on a basis similar to that at Miilsaps.
The program for men provides competition among campus or-
ganizations 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.
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 sprorts as badminton, volleyball, tennis,
basketball, and softball. Election to this club provides recognition for
athletic participation.
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.

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.
Five tennis courts are situated near the gymnasium.
The Purple and White is the official student newspaper of the
College, and its staff is composed of individuals interested in campus
journalism. The PCrW endeavors to provide coverage of all Millsaps
events, as well as to serve as a forum for discussion and exploration
of ideas.
Now in its sixty-sixth year, the Bobashela is the annual student
publication of Millsaps College, attempting to give a comprehensive
view of campus life. "Bobashela" is an Indian name for good friend.
Through Stylus, the College literary magazine, students interested
in creative writing are given an opportunity to see their work in
print. The publication comes out twice each year and contains the
best poetry, short stories, and essays submitted by Millsaps students.
Open by audition to all students, the Singers represent Millsaps
in public performances, campus programs, annual tours throughout
the state, and to other areas of our United States. In recent years the
choir has traveled to Colorado; to Washington, D.C.; to Atlanta, to
record for the National Protestant Hour; and to Mexico. The choir
has sung with the Memphis Symphony Orchestra three times, the
Jackson Symphony, the Chicago Chamber Orchestra, and the New
Orleans Philharmonic. In 1969 Dave Brubeck appeared with the
choir for performances both here and in Atlanta for the Southeast
Choral Conductors Convention. Last year the choir performed with
the Jackson Symphony Orchestra in the regular concert season. Mem-
bership earns two semester hour of extracurricular credit for the
year's work.
The Troubadours represent Millsaps College locally, throughout
Mississippi, 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 with the Memphis Symphony Orches-
tra. During that summer they went to the Caribbean Command, per-
forming for the Armed Forces under the auspices- of the USO. In
1 969, they returned to Europe for eight weeks, with programs sche-
duled in Germany, Holland, and Belgium. In 1970, they performed
at U. S. bases in Greenland, Labrador, and Newfoundland, in the
summer of 1971 they toured Germany, Italy, Holland and Belgium
for eight weeks on their third USO tour to Europe.
Fourteen students comprise the singing group and present a
variety program of popular, folk, and semi-classical music, in a
lively, fast-moving show that uses choreography and is accompanied
by piano, percussion, and bass.
