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 com-
munity of learners where faculty and students together seek the truth that
frees the minds of men.
As an institution of the Methodist Church, fy^illsaps 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 col-
lege 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 cur-
riculum 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 environ-
ment 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, capacities, and aspirations and to provide opportunities for his max-
imum 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
HISTORY OF THE COLLEGE
Millsaps College was founded in 1890 by the Methodist Church as a "Christian
college for young men." The philanthropy of Major Reuben Webster Millsaps and
other Methodist leaders in Mississippi enabled the college to open two years later on
the outskirts of Jackson, the state capital, a town of some 9,000 population. The
beginnings were modest: two buildings, 149 students (two-thirds of whom were
enrolled in a preparatory school), five instructors, and an endowment of $70,432. Fif-
ty years later, the student body numbered 599 and the faculty had increased to 33.
Women were admitted at an early date and the graduation of Sing Ung Zung of
Soochow, China, in 1908, began a tradition of the college's influence beyond the
borders of the state.
Millsaps' first president, William Belton Murrah, served until 1910. Other
presidents have been: David Carlisle Hull (1910-1912), Dr. Alexander Farrar
Watkins (1912-1923), Dr. David Martin Key (1923-1938), Dr. Marion Lofton Smith
(1938-1952), Dr. Homer Ellis Finger, Jr., (1952-64), Dr. Benjamin Barnes Graves
(1965-1970), and Dr. Edward McDaniel Collins, Jr. (1970-1978). Dr. George Marion
Harmon was named president in the fall of 1978.
GENERAL INFORMATION
The close personal relationship among students, faculty and the administration
is one of the most vital parts of the Millsaps experience. A liberal arts college design-
ed to train students for responsible citizenship and well-balanced lives, Millsaps of-
fers professional and pre-professional training coupled with cultural and disciplinary
studies. Students are selected on the basis of their ability to think, desire to learn,
good moral character and intellectual maturity. The primary consideration for admis-
sion is the ability to do college work satisfactory to the college and beneficial to the
student.
Millsaps' 1,100-member student body represents about 30 states and several
foreign countries. Students come from 25 religious denominations. All are urged to
take advantage of the educational and cultural offerings of Mississippi's capital city
of Jackson.
Research facilities available are: The State Department of Archives and
History, the State Library, the library of the State Department of Health and the
Jackson Public Library. Together, they provide research facilities found nowhere
else in the state. Cultural advantages include: The Jackson Symphony Orchestra,
The Jackson Ballet Company, New Stage Theatre, Mississippi Opera Association,
and musical, dramatic and sporting events held at the City Auditorium and the
Mississippi Coliseum.
Millsaps is fully accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools
and approved by the American Association of University Women and the University
Senate of the United Methodist Church. It is recognized by the General Board of
Education of the United Methodist Church as one of its strongest institutions.
THE MILLSAPS-WILSON LIBRARY
The Millsaps-Wilson Library has more than 1 50,000 volumes and 650 periodical
subscriptions. It provides individual study carrels and rooms as well as browsing and
lounge areas. There is a collection of audiovisual materials and listening facilities.
Special collections are: the Lehman Engel Collection of books, manuscripts, record-
ings, and correspondence relating to the theatre and the arts; the Mississippi
Methodist Archives; a rare book collection; the Kellogg Collection of juvenile books
and curriculum materials; U.S. government documents; and the Millsaps Archives.
The library belongs to the Central Mississippi Library Council and the Southeastern
Library Network.
THE COMPUTING CENTER
In today's complex society, students need to be able to understand the role of
the computer. Accordingly, a good college must have a strong computing resource.
Millsaps has one of the finest computing facilities available for easy student access.
From several terminal cluster locations on campus, students and faculty can use the
Digital PDP-11 RSTS/E timesharing computer system which is located in the
Academic Complex. Additional resources are the PDP-8/e laboratory and teaching
computer and the EAI-TR20 analog computer which are located in Sullivan-Harrell
Hall.
BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS
The 100-acre campus is valued at about $30 million. Chief administrative of-
fices are in Whitworth Hall. Murrah Hall, built in 1914, has been recently renovated
to house the School of Management. Sullivan-Harrell Science Hall was built in 1928
and was renovated in 1963 to house the science program.
The Christian Center, completed in 1950, was built with gifts from Mississippi
Methodists, alumni and friends. It has a 1,000 seat auditorium, a small chapel,
classrooms and offices. In 1967, the stage was renovated into a modern theatre
stage.
The James Observatory is an historical landmark located on the northwest cor-
ner of the campus.
The Physical Activities Center, dedicated in 1 974, has courts for basketball, ten-
nis, badminton, and volleyball. Weight-training and physical therapy rooms are also
included in this multi-purpose facility. An Olympic-sized swimming pool is adjacent to
this facility. Other athletic facilities include tennis courts and fields for football,
baseball, soccer, and track.
The Boyd Campbell Student Center houses the office of student affairs, the
bookstore, post office, student activity quarters and a recreation area. The grill and
dining hall are located in the student center also.
There are three residence halls for women and two for men. All are air condi-
tioned.
The Academic Complex, completed in 1971, includes a recital hall in which is
located a 41 -rank Mohler organ. The complex houses Music, Art, Political Science,
Computer Services, Business Office, and the Office of Records. It also contains
skylit art studios, a student computer terminal room, a music laboratory and
classrooms.

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 (s)he wishes to enter, particularly if housing accommodations on the campus
are desired. The Admissions Committee acts on applications for both the spring and
fall semesters as credentials are completed.
In applying for admission a prospective student should follow this procedure:
1 . Submit a completed application for admission form with the application fee to
the director of admissions. The fee is not refunded to a student unless the ap-
plication is not approved.
2. Request the high school principal or college registrar to send an official
transcript directly to the director of admissions.
(a) Transfers must include a transcript from every college or university attend-
ed.
(b) If the prospective student is enrolled in school at the time (s)he applies for

time. A supplementary transcript will be required after admission.
3. Freshman applicants must submit results of either the American College Test
(A.C.T.) or Scholastic Aptitude Test (S.A.T.).
COUNSELING PROGRAM
Counseling services are designed to help students accomplish maximum suc-
cess in their academic work. Many members of the college community participate in
counseling, and specialists are used as referral resources when problems require
specialized therapy.
Pre-Registratlon Counseling: The college provides counseling services to any
prospective student who wants to explore vocational and educational objectives
before entering classes in the fall. Students who are admitted are urged to take ad-
vantage of this service.
Orientation: Freshmen and transfer students are expected to be on campus on
dates specified in the college calendar. Orientation is planned and carried out
cooperatively by students and faculty to help entering students prepare for campus
life.
Faculty Advisors: New students are assigned to faculty members who serve as
academic advisors. When a student chooses the major field, a professor in that field
becomes the advisor.
Personal Counseling: The Office of Student Affairs counsels students on voca-
tional choices, selection of fields of study, study and reading skills, emotional ad-
justments and related matters.
Testing: An individual testing service is available to help with self-analysis and
planning in terms of interests.
STUDENT HOUSING
The dean and associate dean of student affairs coordinate housing in coopera-
tion with residence hall directors and resident assistants. Men who are active
members of a fraternity may live in its house after their freshman year.
All freshman men and women, unless they are married or live with members of
their immediate families in Jackson or vicinity, are required to reside on campus in
college residence halls and to dine on campus, also. Exceptions to this policy are
unusual and must be authorized through the Office of the Dean of Student Affairs.
Residence hall rooms are designed to house two students each. Students
wishing to room together should make every effort to pay room deposits at the same
time and to specify their desire to room together. Single rooms are limited and those
desiring a single room should pay their room reservation fees as early as possible.
Assignments are made in the order in which this fee or completed applications are
received, whichever is later. Room preferences are honored unless the rooms are
already taken by students who are eligible for them. Room rent cannot be refunded
after the semester begins.
Residence halls open at 10 a.m. on the day preceding each term and close at
10 a.m. on the day following the last scheduled examination of each term. During
Thanksgiving and spring holidays, the residence halls will close at 3 p.m. on the last
10
day of scheduled classes and reopen at noon on the day preceding the resumption
of classes. Students are not housed in the residence halls during Thanksgiving,
Christmas, or spring holidays.
MEDICAL SERVICES
Millsaps provides medical services to its students who are suffering from minor
illnesses. The services are limited to students living in Millsaps residence halls and
fraternity houses. Medical services through the college physician are available
through the nurse on duty or, in her absence, one of the residence hall directors or
the Office of Student Affairs.
The college pays for the initial visit to the college physician for each illness.
CAREER PLANNING AND PLACEMENT SERVICES
The college has a Career Planning and Placement Office designed to assist
students in the career-planning process. The process begins with the analysis of
one's interests, values, abilities, and personality traits in relationship to occupational
options. The process concludes with the exploration of careers and preparation for
the job search or graduate education opportunities.
Career planning usually begins in the freshman year and Is pursued, via testing,
advising, internships, counseling, seminars and on-campus interviews, through the
senior year.
Placement files, containing credentials, are maintained for interested students
and alumni.
STUDENT RECORDS
In accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974,
Millsaps College students have the right to review, inspect, and challenge the ac-
curacy of information kept in a cumulative file by the institution. It also insures that
records cannot be released without the written consent of the student except in the
following situations:
(a) to school officials and faculty who have a legitimate educational interest,
such as a faculty advisor;
(b) where the information is classified as "directory information." The following
categories of information have been designated by the Millsaps College as
directory information: name, address, telephone listing, date and place of
birth, major field of study, participation in officially recognized activities and
sports, weight and height of members of athletic teams, dates of atten-
dance, degrees and awards received, the most recent previous educational
institution attended by the student, and information needed for honors and
awards. If you do not wish such information released without your consent
you should notify the Office of Records in writing prior to the end of the first
day of classes.
For a full statement of policy concerning the confidentiality of student records,
consult the staff of the Office of Records or the Office of Student Affairs.
GATEWAY PROGRAM FOR ADULT LEARNERS

vising, personal and career counseling, infant and pre-school child care, orientation,
and monthly meetings. These services are available to non-traditional students
whether or not they are degree candidates.

Student life
CAMPUS MINISTRY
Religious life at Millsaps centers around the churches of the city of Jackson and
the religious life program coordinated through the cannpus ministry team. Churches
provide communities of faith for students, faculty, and staff. The campus religious
life program works to enhance the spiritual growth of members of the community.
The emphasis is on the development of values and insights related to one's religious
life that are informed by a keen awareness of the world and are shaped by struggling
with fundamental questions about the nature of belief and of a religious lifestyle.
To meet these goals, the campus ministry program at Millsaps utilizes as fully
as possible the experiences of students in the classroom and in their relationships to
their peers, both being situations which raise basic questions about intellectual and
spiritual growth and about the link between faith and life. Thus, programs concerning
the relationship of faith to issues raised in the classroom are an integral part of the
religious life program of the college. Further, such established programs as the Stu-
dent Symposium and the Friday Forum Series are utilized to provide religious
perspectives on critical issues.
Campus ministry at Millsaps is coordinated through the campus ministry team,
a group of approximately 35 to 40 students, faculty, and staff persons who plan for
the college community. The team has several emphases: human rights issues, the
Religious Perspectives Series, the Voluntary Service Program, an Outdoors Events
Program, and the Special Ministries Fund Program.
In addition, the Preparation for Ministry Program, designed for persons prepar-
ing for professional Christian vocations, attempts to create programs and field work
appropriate to the needs of members. The Chapel Series is an occasional program
of educational and worship experiences.
The campus ministry program at Millsaps is ecumenical. St Peter's Catholic
Cathedral provides a staff person to the Millsaps campus who works with Catholic
students and in the larger life of the college. Intervarsity Christian Fellowship
regularly works with a group of students and the Episcopal Diocese coordinates the
weekly celebration of the Eucharist. All programming is ecumenical in terms of par-
ticipation and resource people.
The Office of the Chaplain serves as a liaison with churches, the United
Methodist conferences, and other groups and agencies in the city and state. The
chaplain works with students who serve internships with the Methodist Building staff,
provides resources for events on and off campus related to various campus ministry
concerns and actively participates in the work of the United Methodist conferences
to which the college relates.
PUBLIC EVENTS COMMITTEE
The Public Events Committee receives funds from the student government to
sponsor programs of general interest to the campus and community. Its major activi-
ty is the Friday Forum Series — a continuing slate of speakers presented each Friday
during the academic year. The objective of the series is to provide information and
stimulate interest in current issues, to explore historical events and to present differ-
ing perspectives on controversial subjects. Faculty members, local authorities and
national experts are invited to present their thoughts on a variety of literary, cultural,
scientific, political, religious and historical topics.
In addition to the Forum Series, the Public Events Committee sponsors special
events throughout the academic year. It provides funds to student organizations and
academic departments interested in organizing programs open to the entire cam-
pus. These include films, guest speakers and music recitals.
All of these activities have to do with the true aim of liberal education: the libera-
tion of the mind to grasp the world of nature and of human experience and action in
all its richness and complexity, and to respond with awareness, sensitivity, concern,
and mature judgment.
24
ATHLETICS
The athletic policy of Millsaps College is based on the premise that athletics ex-
ist for the benefit of the students and not primarily to enhance the prestige and
publicity of the college.
Competitive sports conducted in an atmosphere of good sportsmanship and
fair play can make a significant contribution to the complete physical, emotional,
moral, and mental development of the well-rounded individual. They are thus an in-
tegral part of a program of liberal education. An attempt is made to provide a sports-
for-all program and to encourage as many students as possible to participate.
Intercollegiate
The program for men includes football, basketball, baseball, tennis, and soccer.
The women's program includes basketball and tennis.
The programs are conducted on guidelines established by the National Col-
legiate Athletic Association and the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for
Women of which Millsaps College is a member.
Those who participate in intercollegiate athletics are required to observe and
maintain the same academic standards as other students.
Intramural
The program for men provides competition among campus organizations in
basketball, volleyball, Softball, tennis, and soccer. The program for women includes
touch football, volleyball, tennis, basketball, and Softball.
PUBLICATIONS
The Purple and White is the official student newspaper of the college, and its
staff is composed of individuals interested in campus journalism. The P&W
endeavors to provide coverage of all Millsaps events, as well as to serve as a forum
for discussion and exploration of ideas.

Millsaps College, attempting to give a comprehensive view of campus life.

To qualify for graduation from Millsaps, 30 of the last 36 hours of academic
work must be done in residence as a degree-seeking student. The two exceptions
allowed to this rule are: (1) pre-engineering dual-degree program students may
transfer back as many as 31 hours, (2) students who have been approved for the
prescribed pre-medical technologist program may take the last 26 hours at the af-
filiated institution and (3) students leaving to enter graduate or professional school
may transfer back the final 26 hours of work (in this case, however, residence will be
required at Millsaps for the second semester of the junior year and the first semester
of the senior year).
8. English Proficiency Requirement:
Before receiving a bachelor's degree each student is required to demonstrate
proficiency in English composition and usage by passing an examination given by
the English Department. It consists of a 500-word essay written extempore within
two and one-half hours on a subject selected from a list furnished at the examina-
tion. Students who made grades of A or B on English 101-102, 103-104, or 105 at
Millsaps are exempted from this examination.
The examination is given by the English Department twice in the academic
year. The regular administration is on the second Thursday in November from 4 to
6:30 p.m. A special administration of the examination is given on the second Thurs-
day in March from 4 to 6:30 p.m. to seniors who hope to graduate but who have not
passed the Junior English Proficiency Examination. Seniors who fail the special ex-
amination and who think they have compelling cause may petition the dean of the
college for an extraordinary administration of the examination in the summer ses-
sion 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 be present for the November ad-
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.
9. IVIajors:
In addition to taking the prescribed work for the degree, the student must major
in one of the following areas: accounting, art, business administration, biology,
chemistry, church music, economics, education, English, French, geology, German,
history, mathematics, music, philosophy, physics, political science, psychology,
religion, sociology, Spanish, and theatre.
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 chairman of the department.
A major for each student must be approved by one of the department chairmen
not later than the beginning of the junior year. The student must complete the proper
forms in the Office of Records.
No junior or senior registration will be accepted as complete by the Office of
Records without the signed approval of the major professor.
A student may have more than one major by completing the requirements in the
departments involved.
10. IVIinors:
While there is no requirement that students complete a minor as a part of their
degree, they may elect a minor in those departments which offer one.
Ordinarily a student must have a minimum of 12 hours in a department beyond
what is used to meet degree requirements in order to qualify for a minor. Specific re-
quirements for a particular minor can be found under the appropriate department of
instruction.
34
11. Comprehensive Examinations:
Before receiving a bachelor's degree the student must pass a satisfactory com-
prehensive examination in the 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 writ-
ten 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 depart-
ment, 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
(s)he has credit and in which (s)he is currently enrolled are those which fulfill the re-
quirements in the major department. (S)he may take the examination in the spring
semester if (s)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
about mid-April of each year. Comprehensive examinations will not be given during
the summer except by permission of the dean. Those who fail a comprehensive ex-
amination 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 college.
12. Quality Index Required:
A minimum of 240 quality points is required for the B.A., B.S., B.B.A., and B.S.
Ed degrees: 248 for the B.M. degree. An over-all quality point index of 2.00 is re-
quired of all students. Transfer students must have at least a quality point index of
2.00 on their Millsaps work. The index is always calculated on the 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. (See page 51).
1 3. Application for a Degree:
Each student who is a candidate for a degree is required to submit a written ap-
plication for the degree by November 1 of the academic year of graduation. This
date will apply also to students who plan to complete their work in the summer ses-
sion. Forms for degree applications are to be secured and filed in the Office of
Records.
14. Requirements for a Second Degree:
In order to earn a second degree from Millsaps College a student must have
thirty additional semester hours of work beyond the 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.
15. Required Sequence of Courses for All Regular Students:
Freshmen students shall enroll in the appropriate course in English composi-
tion (unless exempt by examination) and in at least one other prescribed course as
listed in the Core Curriculum or the Additional Degree Requirements.
Sophomore students shall enroll in at least two prescribed courses as listed in
the Core Curriculum or the Additional Degree Requirements.
Enrollment in the required language courses will begin not later than the first
semester of the junior year. It is recommended that language be started in the
freshman or sophomore year. Those freshmen who, by virtue of previous study, plan
to satisfy the language requirement taking courses at the intermediate level only, are
strongly advised to begin such courses in the freshman year while their experience
in the language chosen is recent.
35
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 requirennents.
The following courses are required by many medical and dental schools.
Biology 121-122 8 hours Mathematics 115-116 8 hours
Chemistry 1 21 -1 23, 1 22-1 24 . 8 hours Physics 1 1 1 -1 1 2 or 1 31 -1 32 in addition
Chemistry 231-233, 232-234.10 hours to 151-152 8 hours
English 101-102 6 hours
The student is urged to consult with a member of the Pre-medical Advisory
Committee, (Al Berry, George Beardsley, Robert Kahn, James McKeown and Ed-
mund Venator), in designing a program that will fit 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 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 stu-
dent develop a sound background in the humanities and social sciences.
Some medical and dental schools will not accept credit in laboratory science
courses obtained by C.L.E.P. or advanced placement tests. If the student plans to
obtain such credit, he should first consult the medical or dental schools in which he
has an interest to be certain that the school will accept such credit.
The student should remember that the requirements listed in a medical or den-
tal school catalog are minimal but that (s)he should obtain maximum preparation. In
general, the student who is weak in some science, as shown by performance in in-
troductory college courses, is urged to take further work in that science to prepare
adequately. The student should also utilize limited time in taking courses that will not
be available during professional training. The following courses are recommended
as electives by many medical and dental schools.
Biology (251, 301, 381, 383, 391 or 315)
Chemistry (251-253, 264-266 or 363-365, 364-366)
English (201-202 or 203-204)
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 gives the student a more flexible schedule and time to
take additional courses of interest and need.
PREPARATION FOR MINISTRY
A program for students planning for or interested in exploring a form of
professional Christian ministry
Millsaps College has enjoyed a tradition of close involvement with students
from all denominations and faiths — particularly from The United Methodist
Church — whose vocational goal or interest was a form of professional Christian
ministry. The Preparation for Ministry Program is designed to offer a wide variety of
experiences for persons who have decided on or would like to explore some form of
Christian ministry as a personal vocation. The specific purposes of the program are
as follows:
a. To encourage personal growth in relation to self and other persons.
b. To explore meanings and forms of ministry and to encourage openness to
the many ways that the Christian Gospel speaks to human beings and their
worlds.
36
c. To keep students closely in touch with the resources and personnel of their
denomination or faith, and to serve as a liaison with key adnninistrative per-
sons of these bodies.
d. To support students who wish to explore some form of professional ministry
as a possibility for themselves.
e. To assist students in developing a vision for their own ministry.
f. To involve students in various types of competency training relevant to pro-
fessional ministry.
g. To provide a supportive, encouraging community for students planning for
or interested in professional ministry.
The Preparation for Ministry Program provides a basic link between the college
and the conference/diocese/presbytery or other structure to which a student is
responsible. In the case of United Methodists, the program is a supplement to the
candidacy program. This program is also a clearinghouse for student employment in
various capacities in congregations or church agencies. Participation by United
Methodist students is obligatory for receiving the ministerial grant.
The following is the format for the program on a four-year basis:
First Year: Exploration of personal motivations for professional ministry through
a variety of personal interviews, group sessions and programs; building relationships
with other participants; exploring meanings and forms of ministry through inter-
views, programs and field trips.
Second Year: Personal growth experiences through two weekend personal
growth seminars (one each semester) focused on self-development, assessment of
style of working with people and interpersonal relations, with continuing emphasis
on the development of one's personal vision of ministry, and with optional personal
growth experiences growing out of these seminars; experiences designed to expose
students to working situations (church school classes, youth ministry programs,
etc.); training in knowledge and skills for particular tasks, with options according to
previous experiences and interests, in areas such as education, music, youth
ministry, group dynamics, planning process, and other areas to be designated as the
need arises.
Third Year: Internships to be developed in consultation with the student in order
to fit his or her interest. (Internships will carry academic credit in the Department of
Religion and will include careful goal-setting, supervision and reflection); consulta-
tions as preparation for seminary choice and enrollment.
Fourth Year: Further skill training; seminar based on personal growth, need
assessment and goal setting.
Special arrangements will be made for persons who transfer in after the first or
second years of their college work and for persons with special circumstances.
The coordinator for the Preparation of Ministry Program will be the chaplain to
the college, assisted by the Department of Religion and two pre-seminary students.
These persons will work with an advisory committee which will include the deans of
students, the academic dean, the director of church relations, representatives of the
supervising pastors of the two United Methodist conferences in Mississippi,
representatives of denominations or faiths other than United Methodist, chairper-
sons of the Boards of Ordained Ministry, and other students who are interested in or
planning for some form of professional Christian ministry. All incoming students who
will receive the ministerial grant or who would like to explore Christian ministry as a
personal vocation may secure a flyer and enroll in the program in the Department of
Religion or the Office of the Chaplain.
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.
37
Different students nnay obtain the desired training in these three areas from different
courses. Therefore, students should consult with their faculty or nnajor advisers and
with the pre-law adviser in designing a program of courses that will best fit particular
needs, background, and interests. The student with a pre-law interest should consult
the pre-law adviser, John Quincy 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. Introduc-
tory courses in sociology, psychology, and social work are essential. Other courses
which are strongly recommended include Social Problems, Theories of
Personality,and Social Psychology. Internships can provide valuable practical ex-
perience with community social welfare agencies. Students are urged to consult
with their faculty advisers to plan a schedule.
EDUCATIONAL CERTIFICATION PROGRAMS
TEACHER EDUCATION
Millsaps offers an elementary education major with certification in kindergarten
through the eighth grade. The student may receive a major in physical education

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 subjects 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 College of Surgeons, the American Hospital Association, and other
authoritative medical groups.
The medical technology student is expected to spend the first three years at
Millsaps College (or transfer here from another recognized college, with at least the
third year spent in residence here) and the senior year at the approved hospital. The
student must complete the general requirements for the B.S. degree with a major in
biology.
Students enrolled in affiliated schools of medical technology may transfer back
the final 26 hours of work. The courses required for registry are accepted as com-
41
pleting the requirements of 124 semester hours for graduation. The B.S. degree is
awarded at the first commencement exercise following the completion of the
medical technology training.
Medical technology students are encouraged to secure the B.S. or B.A. degree
before entering an approved school of medical technology.
MEDICAL RECORD LIBRARIAN
Students may obtain baccalaureate degree training in the Medical Record
Librarian Program at Millsaps College and at an approved institution. The correlated
program of instruction covers each phase of medical record practice.
Millsaps College maintains affiliations with institutions with certificate training
in medical record practice which are approved by the Council on Medical Education,
Hospitals of the American Medical Association, and the American Medical Record
Association.
The medical record librarian 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 ma-
jor in biology. The courses required for registry are accepted as completing the re-
quirements of 124 semester hours for graduation. A satisfactory grade on the ex-
amination for registration by the American Medical Record Association as a
registered medical record librarian (R.R.L.) is accepted in lieu of the departmental
oral comprehensive examination. The B.S. degree is awarded at the first commence-
ment following the completion of the medical record librarian training and passing
for the registry examination.
Medical record librarian 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
record training.
SPECIAL PROGRAMS
The Honors Program
The Honors Program provides an opportunity for students of outstanding ability
to pursue an advanced course of study which would ordinarily not be available. In
the spring of their junior year honors students participate in an inter-disciplinary col-
loquium which intensively examines a topic of broad interest. In the senior year,
students carry out a research project on a subject of their choice. This thesis is
presented before a panel of faculty members at the end of the senior year. Students
successfully completing all phases of the Honors Program receive the designation
"with honors" in their major subject at graduation. Students interested in par-
ticipating in the Honors Program should consult with their advisers in the fall of their
junior year.
The Oak Ridge Science Semester
Under this program, sponsored jointly by the Southern College University Union
and by the Department of Energy, a Millsaps student may spend the spring semester
of the junior or senior year studying and doing research at Oak Ridge National
Laboratory, Oak Ridge, TN. A full semester's academic credit is normally earned.
The student technically remains an enrollee of Millsaps College for the purpose of
scholarships and loans, which are not affected by participation in the program.
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.
42
Under this arrangement qualified students of demonstrated capacity from tlie
participating colleges will spend a semester at the School of Government and Public
Administration of The American University in Washington. They earn 16 hours of
credit tov\/ard graduation in their home colleges. Eight hours are earned in a Con-
ference Seminar, in which high-ranking leaders of politics and government meet with
students. Four hours are earned in a research course which entails the writing of a
paper by utilizing the sources available only at the nation's capital. And four hours
are earned in an Internship, in which the student is placed in a government or public
interest organization office. In Washington the program is coordinated by faculty
members of The American University.
Millsaps has a guaranteed quota of two students for each spring semester,
although students may petition for entry in the fall. Second semester sophomores,
juniors, or seniors are eligible.
The student technically remains an enrollee of Millsaps College for the purpose
of scholarships and loans, which are thus not diminished by participation in the pro-
gram.
The United Nations Semester
A cooperative program with Drew University in Madison, NJ, enables Millsaps
political science majors to spend a semester making a first-hand study of the work of
the United Nations. Participants may earn 15 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 individual
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 col-
lege.
The student technically remains an enrollee of Millsaps College for the purpose
of scholarships and loans, which are thus not diminished by participation in the pro-
gram.
The London Semester
Another cooperative program with Drew University gives 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 Univer-
sity, 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 participation in the pro-
gram.
British Studies at Oxford
Millsaps College in cooperation with seven other colleges in the Southern Col-
lege and University Union sponsors a six-week intensive summer program at Oxford
University in England. It enables students to study a particular period of British
history in a thoroughly integrated way and in a mileau which affords an incom-
parable opportunity to benefit from the experience. A similar summer program bas-
ed in London and focusing upon challenges of the multinational economy was
recently instituted also under the sponsorship of S.C.U.U. Interested students should
inquire with the dean of the college in the fall preceding the summer in which they
are considering attending either of these programs.
43
Other 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. 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 chair-
man of the appropriate department or from the dean of the college.
Legislative Intern Program
When the Mississippi Legislature is in session, selected political science
students may participate in an internship program which permits them to observe
the state law-making process. Students serve as aides to legislators and legislative
committees, performing a variety of tasks such as research, writing, and marking up
bills. Students also take part in a seminar with other interns to examine the
legislative process. See Political Science 452.
Public Administration Internship
With the cooperation of city, state and federal agencies, students who have had
the introductory public administration course may be placed in middle management
level positions.
School Of Management Intern Programs
Students have the opportunity of obtaining specialized training and practical ex-
perience through an established Internship Program. The program involves promi-
nent 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. Evalua-
tion of the student's participation and progress provides the basis for granting ap-
propriate academic credit. See offerings 451-452 in the School of Management.
Small Business Institute
Students apply theory to practice by consulting small business management in
the area. The program is sponsored by the Small Business Administration (S.B.A.),
an agency of the federal government. Students should register for Administration
490.
IVIillsaps-Gulf Coast Research Laboratory Cooperative Program
Students at Millsaps College, especially those in the natural sciences, are per-
mitted to enroll for one or more of the following courses at the Gulf Coast Research
Laboratory as a part of their regular program of studies. The laboratory is situated
near Ocean Springs, 180 miles south of Jackson. Summer work at the laboratory
provides first-hand knowledge of both marine and brackish water environments.

THE GRADUATE PROGRAM
Master of Business Administration
The evening Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.) program has been
established at Millsaps in response to requests from the business and non-profit
communities in the Jacl<son area. Although designed primarily to meet the needs of
part-time students, sufficient coursework is offered every semester to allov^/ full-time
graduate students some flexibility in planning a curriculum of study. A typical class
includes men and women with a broad range of ages, and with backgrounds from
engineering, the physical and social sciences, the arts and the humanities as well as
from business. The following foundation courses may be taken at the undergraduate
level: Accounting, 281-282; Business Administration, 220, 275, 321, 333, 334, 362;
Composition, 110 and Economics, 201-202.

of the curriculum
GRADES, HONORS, CLASS STANDING
The grade in any class is determined by the combined class standing and a writ-
ten examination. The examination is approximately one-third of the grade for the
semester.
"A" represents superior work.
"B" represents above the average achievement.
"C" represents an average level of achievement.
"D" represents a level of achievement in the regularly prescribed work of the class
below the average in the same relationship as "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 withdrawal 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.
"CR" represents passing work in a non-graded course taken for hourly credit (not
computed in G.P.A.).
"NC" represents no credit in a non-graded course taken for hourly credit (not
computed in G.P.A.).
Quality Points
The completion of any academic course with a D shall entitle a student to one
quality point for each semester hour; a grade of C for the semester shall entitle a stu-
dent to two quality points for each semester hour; a grade of B for the semester shall
entitle a student to three quality points for each semester hour, and a grade of A
shall entitle a student to four quality points for each semester hour. A quality point in-
dex is determined 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 was
made in 1968.
Class Standing
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; 1 44 quality points
A student's classification for the entire year is his/her status at the beginning of
the fall semester.
Student Status
Degree-seeking students taking 12 or more academic hours will be classified
as full-time students. Students taking less than 12 academic hours may not repre-
sent the college in extracurricular activities.
Degree-seeking students taking fewer than 12 academic hours will be
classified as part-time students.
A special student is a mature person of ability and seriousness of purpose who
enrolls for limited academic work and does not plan to seek a degree. The category
of "special student" is not intended to include recent high school graduates. Special
students observe the same regulations concerning attendance, examination and
proficiency as regular students.
Credit/No Credit Grade Option
Some courses have been approved to be graded either by letter grade or by
credit/no credit grading. The purpose of credit/no credit grading is to encourage
students to take courses in areas they might not otherwise select. Credit/no credit
grading requires full participation of the student in all class activities. Credit signifies
work of passing quality or above. It will not carry quality points nor be included in the
G.P.A. Students are reminded that (except for certain internship programs) courses
graded by the credit/no credit option do not count toward fulfilling the 120 (124 for
48
the B. M. degree) letter-graded hours requirement and cannot be used to fulfill core
requirements or major requirements.
When grade option is available, it will be incumbent upon the student to make
the choice at the time of registration. Any change in grading option must be made
within the drop-add period. (Exception: Theatre activity may be added later with ap-
propriate approval.)
Repeat Courses
A student may enroll in a course at Millsaps which has previously been taken.
The highest grade earned in that course will be used in determining the cumulative
quality point average. However, all grades reported for the course remain a part of
the permanent record. This policy applies only to courses originally taken at Millsaps
during or after spring semester 1973 and to courses originally taken at other institu-
tions during or after fall semester 1980.
Graduation With Distinction
A student whose quality point index is 3.2 for the entire course shall be
graduated Cum Laude; one whose quality point index is 3.6 and who has a rating of
excellent on the comprehensive examination shall be graduated Magna Cum Laude;
and one whose quality point index is 3.9 and who has a rating of excellent on the
comprehensive examination shall be graduated Summa Cum Laude.
To be eligible for graduation Cum Laude, Magna Cum Laude or Summa Cum
Laude, a student must have passed at least 60 academic semester hours in Millsaps
College. Distinction or special distinction may be refused a student who, in the judg-
ment of the faculty, has forfeited the right.
In determining eligibility for distinction or special distinction for students who
have not done all their college work at Millsaps, the quality points earned on the
basis of grades made at other institutions will be considered, but the student will be
considered eligible only if (s)he has the required index both on the work done at
Millsaps and on college courses as a whole.
Graduation With Honors
A full-time student with junior standing who has an over-all quality point index of
3.0 may apply to the department chairman for permission to declare as a candidate
for honors. Admission requires acceptance by the chairman and approval by the
Honors Council. Entrance into the Honors Program becomes effective in the spring
semester of the junior year.
Honors Program
The Honors Program extends over three semesters. A student admitted will in
the second semester of the junior year enroll with the honors adviser in a directed
study entitled Honors I (Colloquium). Enrollment in Honors II and III (Research) will
ordinarily follow in the fall and spring semesters of the senior year. A letter grade will
be given for each of these courses. The three semesters of honors work are intend-
ed to culminate in an honors paper presented to the Honors Council and defended
before an examining board.
The first semester in the Honors Program consists of an Honors Colloquium de-
signed to bring together for intellectual exchange all students in the Honors Pro-
gram. The aim of the Honors Colloquium is the total involvement of good minds in the
exchange of ideas and values centering around selected themes and areas of in-
vestigation of mutual interest to all disciplines. The Honors Colloquium is required of
all students in the Honors Program.
A candidate who completes the honors work satisfactorily, who presents and
defends the honors paper satisfactorily, who has a 3.0 over-all quality point index,
and who has a 3.33 index in honors work will be graduated with Honors. A candidate
who has a 3.6 over-all quality point index, who has a 4.0 index in honors work and
who has presented a superior honors paper will be graduated with High Honors.
A student may voluntarily withdraw the candidacy for honors at any time.
Students enrolled in honors courses are, however, bound by the general college
rules for dropping a course and for receiving course credit. Candidacy may be in-
49
voluntarily terminated at any time upon the recommendation of the honors adviser
and with the approval of the Honors Council.
Dean's List
Those meeting these requirements are on the Dean's List:
1. Scholarship:
(a) The student must carry not less than 12 academic hours during the
semester on which the scholastic average is based.
(b) The student must have a quality point average of 3.2 for that semester.
(c) The student must have no mark lower than a C for that semester.
2. Conduct:
The student must be, in the judgment of the dean, a good citizen of the col-
lege community.
Hours Permitted
Fifteen academic semester hours is considered the normal load per semester.
No student may take more than 17 semester hours of academic work unless
s(he) has a quality index of 2.5 on the last semester. No student may take more than
1 9 semester hours unless (s)he has a quality point index of 3.00 on the last semester
and obtains permission from the dean. No student may receive credit for more than
21 hours in a semester under any circumstances. In order to be classified as a full-
time student, one must take no fewer than 12 semester hours.
ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATIONS
Schedule Clianges
A freshman may not enroll for more than eight hours of laboratory science
courses in any one semester except upon the recommendation of the student's ad-
visor.
No student can be registered for courses in another college while being enroll-
ed at Millsaps without the written permission of the dean of the college or the
associate dean of the college.
A student cannot change classes, drop classes or take up new classes except
by the consent of the faculty adviser. 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 no later than one week after the reporting date for mid-semester grades
are recorded as W.P. (withdrawn passing) or W.F. (withdrawn failing). Courses drop-
ped after this time are recorded as F. If a student drops a course without securing
the required approvals, (s)he receives an F.
Witlidrawai
A student desiring to withdraw within any term must obtain permission from the
dean or associate dean of the college and file a withdrawal card. No refund will be
considered unless this written notice is procured and presented to the Business Of-
fice.
Refunds will be made only as outlined under Financial Regulations.
A student who withdraws with permission after the first two weeks of a
semester is recorded as W.P. (withdrawn passing) or W.F. (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 (s)he
should have come to college.
The college reserves the right to cancel the registration of any student. In such
a case, the pro rata portion of tuition will be returned, except that students withdraw-
ing under discipline forfeit the right to a refund.
No student who withdraws is entitled to a grade report or to a transcript of
credits until (s)he has settled accounts in the Business Office.
50
Academic Suspension
To remain in college a freshman must pass in the first semester six hours of
academic work. After the first half-year a student must pass at least nine hours of
academic work each semester to continue in college. Furthermore, the maximum
number of semesters a student may be on academic probation without suspension
is two.
Students who are requested not to re-enter because of academic failure may
petition in writing for re-admission, but such petition will not be granted unless con-
vincing 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. However, such a student may attend the summer session at
Millsaps without a petition.
Probation
Academic Probation:
Students who pass enough work to remain, 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 students are enrolled.
Students may be removed from probation by making a 2.00 quality index during
a regular semester or during a summer session at Millsaps College in which the
student is enrolled for at least 12 academic hours credit. A student is asked
not to re-enroll at Millsaps College if (s)he is on academic probation more than
two semesters.
Disciplinary Probation:
Students guilty of serious infractions of college regulations may be placed on
disciplinary probation at the discretion or the appropriate dean or faculty
committee.
Restricted attendance privileges may apply for such a student in all courses in
which (s)he is enrolled.
Class Attendance
Irregular attendance indicates that the student may be having difficulties ad-
justing to the course or to college. The primary responsibility for counseling students
with respect to their absence rests with the faculty member; but, in the following cir-
cumstances, the faculty member is expected to report in writing the student's un-
satisfactory attendance record to the Office of Records.
1 . For a freshman — whenever the total absences are equal to twice the
number of class meetings per week.
2. For any student —
a. When (s)he has been absent three successive class meetings for
reasons unknown to the instructor.
b. Whenever a student's absence is such that (s)he is in danger of failing
the course.
This reporting of absences is for counseling purposes only, and has no effect on the
student's grade.
Individual faculty members decide the manner and extent to which absences
alone will affect a student's grade. Each faculty member is expected to outline the
policy in writing 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.
Explanation 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 involving 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 dean.
51
Each student is responsible for knowing general attendance policy of the col-
lege and the particular policies operative in each class. Further details relating to at-
tendance are in the student handbook.
Permission to nnake up an exannination or alter the tinne for an examination may
be granted only through the vice president and dean of the college. Any special ex-
amination, if granted, must be held no later than the sixth week of the next regular
semester. A $10 fee will be charged for such an examination, except at the discre-
tion of the vice president and dean of the college in cases of serious illness at the
time of the examination. This fee will become a part of the scholarship fund.
A student who has been excluded from a course by recommendation of the in-
structor may, if (s)he wishes, petition the vice president and dean of the college
within one week for the privilege of a reinstatement examination. This examination,
to be prepared and administered by the instructor, shall cover the work of the course
up to that date. A $1 0 fee will be paid to the Business Office for this privilege, with the
fee going to the scholarship fund. Re-entry shall depend upon the examination
results. If a student does not petition for re-entry, of if the re-entry is denied, the
grade shall be recorded as F.
Each student is responsible for knowing general attendance policy of the col-
lege and the particular policies operative in each class. Further details relating to at-
tendance are in the student handbook.
Exemptions
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 ex-
emption 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 stu-
dent be exempt from any examination in more than one term or semester.
Students may be exempt from final examinations only in the semester in which
they complete their comprehensive, scholastic requirements being met.
Seniors may be allowed one special examination in any subject taken and failed
in the senior year. Permission for such examination must be secured from the dean

CLASSICAL STUDIES
The Alfred Porter Hamilton Chair of Classical Languages
Associate Professor: RICHARD FREIS, Ph.D., Chairman
Assistant Professor: CATHERINE RUGGIERO FREIS, Ph.D.
Courses have been set up: 1.) to give students taking their language re-
quirements a firm basis in grammar and an introduction to the literature: 2.) to pro-
vide a firm foundation for those students who wish some knowledge of Latin or
Greek to help them with medical and other scientific terminology, with New Testa-
ment studies, and as a background for studies in romance languages and English;
and 3.) to permit students without Greek and Latin to make direct contact with the
classical past from which our western civilization arose.
Requirements for Minor: A student may elect a minor in classical studies with
two courses in Greek or Latin above the 101-102 level, two classical civilization
courses, and one additional course in Greek, Latin, or classical
civilization.
CLASSICAL CIVILIZATION
The following courses are conducted in English; they are open to all students for
elective credit regardless of classification. Different courses in this sequence will be
offered from year to year.
301 . Myth and Man (3). A study of the ancient myths of Greece and Rome and their
influence on later literature with comparative material introduced from near
Eastern, American Indian, and Norse mythology.
302. Greek Tragedy (3). After a brief introductory study of Greek theater produc-
tion and the social-religious context of Greek tragedy, the class will read the main
surviving works of the three great tragedians, Aeschylus, Sophocles, and
Euripides, and close with two critical works, Aristotle's Poetics and Aristophanes'
comedy about tragedy. The Frogs.
303. The Classical Epic (4). At the head of Western literature and thought stand
the two Homeric poems, the Iliad and the Odyssey. The class will begin by study-
ing the Homeric poems in themselves and as shaping factors in Western civiliza-
tion. Then, after a brief study of the later Greek works, Hesiod's Works and Days
and Descent of the Gods and Appollonius' Voyage of the Argo, it will turn to
Vergil's Aeneid, in which the Homeric poems are transformed in the service of a
quite different but no less important vision of man. Offered Spring, 1983.
304. Classical Art and Archaeology (3). This course will focus on the changing vi-
sion of the world and human experience in ancient art and the forms and tech-
niques which artists evolved to represent that vision. The class will also examine
the techniques and the efforts of archaeologists to bring the lost works of ancient
civilization to light. There will be field trips to the Museum of Classical Archaeology
at the University of Mississippi and to active archaeological sites in Mississippi.
Offered Fall, 1982.
305. The Classical Historians (3). A reading of major portions of the first great
historians of the West, Herodotus, Thucydides, Polybius, and Tacitus; the class
will focus especially on the conceptions of the world, man, and the proper aims
and methods of history which underlie and shape each writer's works.
306. Athens: The Life of a Greek City-State (3). This course will explore the pattern
of life in the Greek city-state Athens in all its many dimensions from the Age of the
Tyrants through the Golden Age of Pericles and the political struggles and cultural
flowering of the fourth century to its struggle against and absorption into the world-
empire of Alexander the Great. The course will make substantial use of writings by
Greek authors and some use of audio-visual illustrations so that as much as possi-
ble the Greek experience will speak for itself.

Millsaps College admits students of any race, color, sex, national or ethnic
origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or
made available to students of the college. It does not discriminate on the basis of
race, color, sex, national, or ethnic origin in administration of its educational
policies, admissions policies, scholarships and loan programs, and athletic and
other school administered programs. No handicapped person is, on the basis of
the handicap, excluded from participation in, denied benefits of, or otherwise sub-
jected to discrimination under any program, employment or activity at Millsaps
College.
The provisions of this bulletin are not to be regarded as an irrevocable con-
tract between the student and the college. This bulletin has attempted to present
information regarding admission requirements, courses and degree re-
quirements, tuition fees, and the general rules and regulations of the college for
the year 1982-83 in as accurate and up-to-date fashion as possible. This does
not, however, preclude the possibility of changes taking place during the
academic year. If such changes occur they will be publicized through normal
channels and will be included in the bulletin of the following printing.
