FOREWORD
Experiences indicate 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 1973-74 session of
the College. The academic calendar of the 1974-75 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
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, Miilsaps 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 Miilsaps, 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 Miilsaps. The charter for the
College was granted 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 by gifts from innumerable benefactors. Besides the generous
gifts of Major Miilsaps, 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 Miilsaps,
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, Miilsaps 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. Miilsaps, 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 Miilsaps is one of the most vital parts
of the college experience.
Miilsaps is a co-educational college with an enrollment approxi-
mately equal between men and women.
GENERAL INFORMATION
HISTORY
OF THE
COLLEGE
GENERAL
INFORMATIOI
Millsaps 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.
Offering professional and pre-professional training balanced by
:uitural and disciplinary studies, the College recognizes that training
which will enable a person to support himself adequately is an essen-
tial part of a well-rounded education. Therefore, the student at
'vAillsaps 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
Dbtain thoroughly sound basic courses which will prepare him for
orofessional study in medicine, dentistry, law, and other fields. Pro-
fessional leaders in all fields recognize that the most valuable mem-
jDers of their profession are those who have something more in their
packground than narrow technical study.
The College selects its students 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
the ability to do college work in a measure satisfactory to the College
and 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
naif-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.
Many educational advantages may be found in Jackson in addition
to 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-
on 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
vVomen and the University Senate of the United Methodist Church,
^^ilisaps College is recognized by the General Board of Education
3f the United Methodist Church as one of its strongest institutions.
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Library of Millsaps College currently contains approximately
100,000 volumes and 525 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 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 ten million dollars.
The administration building, Murrah Hall, was erected in 1914;
the Sullivan-Harrell Science Hall in 1928; and the Physical Educa-
tion Center in 1974. 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 about
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 was renamed
the Millsaps-Wilson Library. In 1971 this space was almost doubled
by the allocation of a part of the new Academic Complex for Library.

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.

student is urged to have insurance for medical care^ either through a
family policy or by enrolling in the group insurance made available

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
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 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.

Financial Information
Millsaps College is an independent institution. Each student is
charged a tuition which covers 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 automatically granted the equivalent of a scholarship
equal to one-third the cost of his education.

The Kenneth Gilbert Endowed Loan Scholarship was established by
Mr. and Mrs. T. A. Gilbert of Meridian, Mississippi, as a memorial
to their son, Kenneth, who lost his life in World War 11. He received
the B.S. degree from Millsaps in 1935 and was a member of Kappa
Sigma fraternity.
The Kiwanis Loan Fund was established in 1961 by the Jackson Ki-
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.

be completed within ten years and nine months. The interest rate
is 3 % during repayment. Detailed information concerning this loan
and application forms can be secured from the Director of Financial
Aid at Millsaps.
J. D. Slay Ministerial Loan Fund was established in 1966 by the Board

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.

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 c
requirements open to students who successfully complete the Heritage course. |
Traditional Program. This is traditional only in the sense that it represents th
type of program that in recent decades has been characteristic of most liberal art
colleges. Basically it consists of a broad pattern of specific courses representative o
the entire area of man's knowledge. Its objective is to provide the student with a
least a minimum contact experience with a broad pattern of disciplines.
Heritage Program. This program, an outgrowth of a comprehensive curriculun
review, was especially designed for entering Freshmen. It brings the resources anc
perspectives of many disciplines into a unified whole, presenting the story of Westerr
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. Lecturers and discussion leaders come from a variety of disciplines. Students whc
complete the Heritage Program meet in part or in full many of the requirements
found in the traditional program.
The requirements are as follows:

DEGREE REQUIREMENTS 33
MILLSAP5-WILS0N UBR\
MILLSAPS COLLEGE
The examination is given by the English Department at two stated times in the

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 I
the examination in the Summer Session following. If the Dean grants the petition, hei
may also stipulate that the student must audit English 101-102 during the Summer l
Session.
All rising juniors, transfer students at the junior and senior levels, and seniors'
who failed the examination in their junior year must be present for the November ad- I
ministration of the proficiency examination. '
]
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: I
A maximum of 8 semester hours of extracurricular credits may be included in i
the 128 semester hours required for graduation. Of these, 2 will be required Physical;
Education credits.
In addition, extracurricular credits may be earned for the following six categories,
no more than one credit per semester for any category:
1 . Physical Education elective courses.
2. College publications: Purple and White, Bobashela, Stylus.
3. College government: class officers, members of the Student Senate, members
of the Judicial Council, student members of the College Senate, student mem-
bers of College Senate committees.
4. Millsaps Players.
5. Musical activities: Millsaps Singers, Millsaps Troubadours.
6. Intercollegiate athletics.
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, Administration,;
Education, English, Geology, German, History, Mathematics, Music, Philosophy, Physics,
Political Science, Psychology, Religion, Romance Languages, Theatre, Sociology and I
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, two in the Registrar's Office, and one with the major professor.
No junior or senior registration will be accepted as complete by the Registrar's
Office without the signed approval of the major professor.
34 DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
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 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 comprehensive exami-
i 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
i student's major department with the consent of the Dean of the Faculty.
12. Quality index Required:
j 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
I students. The index is always calculated on total number of academic hours attempted;
however, an exception to the rule of hours attempted is allowed in instances where
courses are repeated at Millsaps beginning with the second semester of the academic
year 1972-73 and thereafter for purposes of raising grades.
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 November 1 of the academic 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 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.
COURSES REQUIRED FOR REGULAR STUDENTS
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 or»e 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 121-123, 122-124 . 8hr. Physics 101 -1 02 and 1 51 -1 52 . . 8hr.

English 101-102 6 hr. 1 31 -1 32 and 1 51 -1 52 1 0 hr.
The student is urged to consult with a member of the Pre-medical Advisory
Committee (Berry, Galloway, Keys, 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.
Biology (251-252,381,391 or 315)
Chemistry (251-253, 264-266 or 363-365, 364-366)
English (201-202)
Economics and Business Administration
Foreign Language (reading knowledge)
History (101-102)
Mathematics (223-224 or 225-226)
Philosophy
Physics (301, 306, 31 1 , 31 5, or 31 6)
Psychology
Sociology
The 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-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
undergraduate liberal arts basis as preparation for their professional education. Foreign
language 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
in 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
should consult the adviser to Pre-Mlnisterial students for specific suggestions.
40 DEGREE PROGRAMS
Some students planning work in Christian Education may wish to combine their
undergraduate 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
which will cover these requirements while allowing a minimum of twelve hours work
in Religion, including Religion 252.
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-
Ministerral 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
H (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.
At all levels students have an opportunity to do laboratory work in both public
and private schools.
The courses listed below are specific courses required to qualify for the Class A
Elementary Certificate and the Class A Secondary Certificate.

SPECIAL PROGRAMS
THE HONORS PROGRAM
The Honors Program provides an opportunity for students of Junior standing and
of pro\en 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 91.
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
48
SPECIAL PROGRAMS
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,
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 electives 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 British Studies at Oxford summer study program. Other study abroad programs are
available in most countries of Western Europe as well as in Latin America. Students inter-
ested 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.
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. 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.
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
offerings 451-452 in the Department of Economics, Accounting and Administration.

FRANCIS WILLIAM FROHNHOEFER, M.A., M.B.A.
Instructor: DIANE TRIPLETT PEARSON, M.B.A., C.P.A.
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.
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. All majors are required to make a grade of C or better in all courses required
by the department for the respective major.
I 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). Administration 271 and Economics 201 or 202 before the Junior year;
Economics 303-304, 348 or 372 and Administration 275 during the Junior year; Eco-
nomics 361, 363, 348 or 372, and 401, 402 or 404 during the Senior year. (This
program is designed to prepare the student for graduate studies in Economics or in
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. This program
prepares a student for a professional career in Accounting. Accounting 281-282 must
|j be completed before the Junior year. Administration 131 is an ideal elective during
the Freshman or Sophomore Year.
An accounting major is required to take Mathematics 103-104, Accounting 281-
282, Administration 271, and Economics 201 before the Junior year; Accounting 381-
382, 391, Administration 275, 362, and Economics 304 during the Junior year; Ac-
counting 392, 395, 398, and Administration 221-222 during the Senior year. Students
may prefer to take 281-282 during the Freshman year, 381-382 during the Sophomore
year, 395-391 during the Junior year, and 392-398 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 appii-
I CHEMISTRY 57
cation. It is also flexible enough that a student may complete department requirements
in four semesters. Administration 131 is an ideal elective during the Freshman or
Sophomore year.
An Administration major is required to take Mathematics 103-104, Accounting
281-282, Economics 201, and Administration 271 before the Junior year; Administra-
tion 221, 275, 351, 352, 362, and Economics 303 during the Junior year; Admini-
stration 353, 376, and Economics 361 during the Senior year. To satisfy Administra-
tion options in special areas and in areas other than in business, students may substitute
9 hours of other appropriate courses, on approval, for Economics 303, Administration
376 and 352. The Administration major will be expected to take the URE portion of
the comprehensive exam during the Fall semester of the Senior year.
Program of Study in Public Administration: A program of study especially
designed for students interested in public or government careers has been arranged
in cooperation with the Department of Political Science. The student may major in
either Political Science or in Administration. If the student selects the major in Ad-
ministration, he will be allowed to substitute certain required courses and will be re-
quired to substitute 8 credit hours of electives for certain courses.
Transfer Credit: Transfer students should normally expect to set sfy the statist cs
requirement (Administration 275) at Millsaps. The typical first six hours of account ng
principles will normally satisfy the department's 281-282 requiremsnt. The typical six
hours of SDphomore economics will normally satisfy the Economics 201 requirement
for Administration majors, the Economics 201 requirement for Accounting majors, end
the Economics 201 or 202 requirement for economics majors. Adminstration 271
(Computer Programming for Business) may be taken during the Jun'or year.

The Mathematics courses at Millsaps are intended (1) to offer an experienc<
in a sufficient variety of basic and liberal subjects to constitute the foundation of tha
general education which is regarded as essential to balanced development and intelligen
citizenship; (2) to meet the needs of four types of students — (a) those who wil
proceed to the usual academic degrees at the end of four years; (b) those who wil
enter graduate or professional schools after three or four years; (c) those who arc
preparing for teaching, scientific investigation, or both; and (d) those who will tak<
less than a complete academic program.
An effort is made to show the student that there is an intangible worth to mathe-
matics; that there is such a thing as mathematics as an art, mathematics for its owr
sake, mathematics for the sheer joy of comparing, analyzing, and imagining.

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.

the other semester of the course is "C" or above, providing that
the "E" precedes the higher grade on the student's record.

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,
Dut 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
:o the faculty member, but such explanations are not in themselves
excuses. This is particularly important in the case of absences involv-
ng missed examinations, late assignments, laboratory sessions and
iimilar scheduled commitments. Faculty members, however, may not
excuse students from attendance on the two days preceding and the
wo days following vacation periods without the express permission
)f the Associate Dean.
Each student is responsible for becoming familiar with the
general attendance policy of the College and with the particular
jolicies operative in his classes. Further elaboration of the policies
and procedures relating to attendance are to be found in the student
landbook, MAJOR FACTS.
I| Students may elect to be exempt from final examinations in the
.emester in which they complete their comprehensive examinations,
3ut only in those courses in which they have a "C" average or better,
t shall be understood, however, that this exemption does not insure
he student a final grade of C, since daily grades during the last two
veeks shall count in the final average. Under no circumstances may
3 student be exempt from any examination in more than one term
K semester.
Students may be exempt from final examinations only in the
.emester in which they complete their comprehensive, scholastic re-
ijuirements being met.
Seniors may be allowed one special examination in any subject
aken and failed in the senior year. Permission for such examination
nust be secured from the Associate Dean.
Milisaps students are expected to act with honesty and integrity
n personal, social, and academic relationships, and with consideration
snd concern for the community, its members, and its property. The
3oard of Trustees and the administration affirm the right of the
ndividual 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
;mphasis of Milisaps College. The use, possession, or distribution of
ntoxicants, narcotics, or dangerous drugs, such as marijuana and

Student Life
li
Millsaps College, as an institution of The United Methodist
Church, seeks to understand and manifest the relationship between
Christian perspectives and higher education. The faculty contains
scholars who are committed to religious and ethical values and who
strive to project these values in their relationships to their students
and colleagues. The 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
are the functions of the Committee on Religious Activities, the Chap-
lain, and the Chaplain's Committee of the College Senate. The office
of the Chaplain attempts to maintain direct contact with student
religious groups to encourage and support their activities, and to
provide religious and personal counseling both to individuals and to
groups. Both the Religious Activities Committee and the Chaplain's
Committee, consisting of faculty and student members, attempt to
determine the religious needs of the college community and to pro-
vide 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.
The newly-created office of the Chaplain reflects a desire for
the religious life on the campus to involve an organized concern for
the total needs of the Millsaps community. Persons and committees
related to this office plan for concerns that are narrowly religious in
nature as well as those that represent efforts to minister to personal
needs of individuals affecting their growth as creative persons.
The Fellowship, a organization of persons preparing for pro-
fessional Christian vocations, attempts to create programs and field
work appropriate to the needs of student members.
College personnel as a whole consider it a part of their responsi-
bility to counsel students in an effort to help them interpret the
total life experience. In this maturing process, the development of
sound religious and ethical values are considered a very necessary
element.
RELIGIOUS
LIFE
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-
CONVOCA"
SERIES
RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES

Wanding of the work of the various sciences, and for alertness to the
ntellectual and social issues which responsible persons must face
ntelligently.
The Series consists of lectures, plays, movies, readings, concerts,
iecitals, panels, symposia, open forums, and other programs led by
students, faculty, and visiting lecturers, performers, or public figures.
Mi these have to do with the true aim of liberal education: the
iberation of the mind to grasp the world of nature and of human
ixperience and action in ail its richness and complexity, and to respond
vith awareness, sensitivity, concern, and mature judgment.
The athletic policy of Millsaps College is based on the premise
hat athletics exist for the benefit of the students and not primarily
10 enhance the prestige and publicity of the college.
It is believed that competitive sports, conducted in an atmosphere
>f good sportsmanship and fair play, can make a significant contribu-
ion, in the same way as other student activities, to the complete
hysicai, emotional, moral, and mental development of the well-
sunded individual and that they are thus an integral part of a
rogram of liberal education. Toward this end, an attempt is made to
rovide a sports-for-all program and to encourage as many students
s possible to participate in some form of intramural or intercollegiate
thietic competition.
I The program for men includes football, soccer, basketball, base-
jail, tennis, golf, and archery. There is no intercollegiate program
Dr women.
The program is conducted on guidelines established by the
lational Collegiate Athletic Association and the National Association
f Intercollegiate Athletics of which Millsaps College is a member.
Those who participate in intercollegiate athletics are required to
bserve and maintain the same academic standards as other students.
In scheduling games, preference is given to colleges that conduct
n athletic program on a basis similar to that at Millsaps.
The program for men provides competition among campus or-
anizations in basketball, volleyball, Softball, tennis, track, soccer,
hd golf. Rules are made and administered by the Intramural Council,
Dmposed of student representatives with the Intramural Director as
n ex-officio member.
The program for women is administered by The Women's Intra-
lural Council, whose student members head the teams that compete
1 such sports as badminton, volleyball, tennis, basketball, and softball.
lection to the Majorette Club provides recognition for athletic par-
cipation.
The Physical Activities Center provides three playing floors for
slleybali, badminton, and basketball. It has dressing rooms for all
iams, a room for visiting teams, trainer's room complete with equip-
lent in case of injuries, a class room, and shower and locker rooms
)r students and an Olympic-sized swimming pool.

publication of Millsaps College, attempting to give a comprehensive
view of campus life. "Bobashela" is an Indian name for good friend.

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.

Orleans Philharmonic. In 1969 Dave Brubeck appeared with the
choir for performances both here and in Atlanta for the Southeast

the Jackson Symphony Orchestra in the regular concert season. Mem-
bership earns two semester hours of extracurricular credit for the
year's work.
