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 aca-
demic 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 at-
mosphere where persons of all faiths may study and work together for the de-
velopment 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 per-
spective, to enrich his personality, and to enable him to think and act intelligently
amid the complexities of the modern world. The curriculum is designed to avoid
premature specialization and to integrate the humanities, the social studies, and
the natural sciences for their mutual enrichment.
The college recognizes that training which will enable a person to support
himself adequately is an essential part of a well-rounded education. On the other
hand, it believes that one of the chief problems of modern society is that in too
many cases training as expert technicians has not been accompanied by educa-
tion for good citizenship. It offers, therefore, professional and pre-professional train-
ing 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 con-
tinuing intellectual awareness, of tolerance, and of unbiased inquiry, without which
true education cannot exist. It does not seek to indoctrinate, but to inform and
inspire. It does not shape the student in a common mold of thought and ideas,
but rather attempts to search out his often deeply hidden aptitudes, capacities,
and aspirations and to provide opportunities for his maximum potential develop-
ment. It seeks to broaden his horizons and to lift his eyes and heart toward the
higher and nobler attributes of life. The desired result is an intelligent, voluntary
dedication to moral principles and a growing social consciousness that will guide
him into a rich, well-rounded Christian life, with ready acceptance of respon-
sibility to neighbor, state, and church.

Trustees of Millsaps College, 1955-56
information for Prospective Students
History of the College
Millsaps College was founded in 1 890 by the Methodist Church as a "Christian col-
lege 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 out-
skirts 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 prepara-
tory school), five instructors, and an endowment of $70,432. Fifty years later, the stu-
dent 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 (1 91 2-1 923),
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 designed
to train students for responsible citizenship and well-balanced lives, Millsaps offers profes-
sional and pre-professional training coupled with cultural and disciplinary studies. Stu-
dents are selected on the basis of their ability to think, desire to learn, good moral
character and intellectual maturity. The primary consideration for admission is the abili-
ty to do college work satisfactory to the college and beneficial to the student.
Millsaps' 1 ,300-member student body represents about 35 states and several for-
eign 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. Cul-
tural advantages include: the Jackson Symphony Orchestra, Ballet Mississippi, 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 Edu-
cation of the United Methodist Church as one of its strongest institutions.
The Millsaps-Wilson Library
The Millsaps-Wilson Library has more than 200,000 volumes and 700 periodical
subscriptions. It provides 390 seats in individual study carrels, tables and rooms as well
as browsing and lounge areas. There is a collection of audio-visual materials and listen-
ing facilities. Special collections are: the Lehman Engel Collection of books and record-
ings; the Mississippi Methodist Archives; the Kellogg Collection of juvenile books and
curriculum materials; the Eudora Welty collection; U.S. Government Documents; the
Millsaps Archives; and a rare book collection. Coin-operated word processors are avail-
able. The library is a member of the Central Mississippi Library Council and the
Southeastern Library Network.
The Computing Center
In today's Increasingly complex and information-driven society, students need to
understand the role of computing. Millsaps has developed outstanding computer
resources to meet this need. From several terminal complexes on campus students have
access to the Digital Equipment RSTS/E and VAXA/MS timesharing systems which are
6
located in the Computing Center in the Academic Complex. In addition, a word process-
ing facility for student use is available. To meet the growing interest in use of personal
computers, the College has established three personal computer laboratories: one in
the Murrah Hall Annex, one in Murrah Hall, and one in Sullivan-Harrell Hall.
Buildings and Grounds
The 100-acre campus is valued at about $30 million. Chief administrative offices
are in Whitworth Hall. Murrah Hall, built in 1914, was renovated in 1981 to house the
Else School of Management. Sullivan-Harrell Hall, built in 1928 and renovated in 1963,
houses 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, class-
rooms, and offices. In 1967, the stage was renovated into a modern theatre stage.
The James Observatory is an historical landmark located on the northwest corner
of the campus.
The Physical Activities Center, dedicated in 1974, has courts for basketball, tennis,
badminton, and volleyball. Weight-training and physical therapy rooms are also included
in this multi-purpose facility. An outdoor swimming pool is adjacent to this facility. Other
athletic facilities include tennis courts and fields for rootball, baseball, soccer, and track.
The Boyd Campbell Student Center houses the Office of Student Affairs, the book-
store, 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. A new dormitory for
junior and senior men and women opened in the fall of 1985. All are centrally cooled
and heated.
The Academic Complex, completed in 1971, includes a recital hall in which is lo-
cated a 41 -rank Mohler organ. The complex houses Music, Art, Political Science, Com-
puter Services, Business Office, Office of Records, Business Affairs and the Office of
Adult Learning. It also contains sky-lit art studios, a student computer terminal room,
a music laboratory and classrooms.

sion by completing the appropriate application procedures and presenting transcripts

examination, or C.E.E.B. achievement test should be sent to the Office of Records for
evaluation. If a waiver of requirements or credit is granted, the score on the examina-

Applying for Admission
Prospective students should apply for admission well in advance of the date on
which they wish to enter, particularly if housing accommodations on the campus are
desired. The Admissions Committee acts on applications for the fall semester on Novem-
ber 1, December 15, January 15, March 1, April 1 and on a weekly basis thereafter
pending vacancies in the class. Applications for the spring term are considered on a
weekly basis.
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 application
is not approved.
2. Request the high school principal or collage registrar to send an official transcript
directly to the director of admissions.
(a) Transfers must include a transcript from every college or university attended.
(b) A prospective student enrolled in school at the time of application for admis-
sion should have a transcript sent showing credits up to that time. A sup-
lementary transcript will be required after admission.
3. Freshman and junior college applicants must submit results of either the American
College Test (A.C.T.) or Scholastics Aptitude Test (S.A.T.)
Applicants to the Adult Degree Program should apply directly to the director of
the Adult Degree Program. Applicants for the Master of Business Administration
degree should apply directly to the director of the MBA Program.
Orientation and Advisement
Many members of the college community are involved on an ongoing basis with
orienting new students to college life and advising students to help them accomplish
maximum success in their academic work.
ORIENTATION: Freshmen and transfer students are expected to be on campus on
dates specified in the college calendar. It is a cooperative effort involving students, faculty,
and staff designed to prepare students for college life at Millsaps.
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. The faculty advisors provide students with advice on courses to
take to reach their degree objectives and on other academic concerns.
Counseling Services
Counseling services are available to all students in the Guidance and Career Coun-
seling Center. Students can receive counseling for a wide range of concerns. A coun-
selor can assist in improving academic performance by helping a student develop study
skills techniques such as time management, note-taking, problem-solving, and test-taking.
Help is also available to students wishing to engage in self-exploration and goal-setting,
to discuss relationships or other personal concerns, to develop better coping skills, to
obtain information on other community resources, and to discuss other probelms or
10
concerns. Referrals to professionals or treatment programs off campus will be made
when it is believed to be appropriate.
Career Planning and Placement
Career planning begins in the freshman year with an emphasis on exploring both
career fields and academic majors. Through interest testing, planning and consulta-
tion, students can explore academic disciplines relevant to their interests and over time,
establish realistic career directions, develop career strategies and set goals.
Frequent contact with the career counselor is encouraged to ensure continued de-
velopment and movement toward a satisfying career choice. Students are invited to
utilize resources in the career library, to participate in off-campus internships and to take
advantage of opportunities for part-time and summer employment as bases of ex-
perience. These resources are available through the Guidace and Career Counseling
Center.
Developing skills in resume writing, interviewing and job search strategies are em-
phases for junior and senior students. Workshops on these topics are presented on
a regular schedule and students are urged to come in for private conferences. Current
listings of employment opportunities are available and on-campus interviews are sched-
uled with representatives from graduate and professional schools, businesses, indus-
tries and government agencies.
Student Housing
The dean and associate dean of student affairs coordinate housing in cooperation
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 col-
lege 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 should
send the completed housing form and the college deposit as soon as possible. Assign-
ments are made in the order in which the deposit and a completed application are
received. Students wishing to room together should make every effort to pay the col-
lege deposit at the same time and to specify their desire to room together. Room prefer-
ences are honored unless the rooms are already taken by students who are eligible
for them. Single rooms are normally not available. Room rent cannot be refunded after
the semester begins.
A quiet wing option is offered for students who wish to live in an environment where
more intensive study is possible twenty-four hours a day.
Residence halls open at 10 a.m. on the day preceding each term and close at 12
noon on the day following the last scheduled examination of each term. For Thanksgiving
and spring holidays, the residence halls will close at 3 p.m. on the last day of sched-
uled classes and reopen at noon on the day preceding the resumption of classes. Stu-
dents 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 frater-
nity 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. These
services are not available beyond the closing hours of the Internal Medicine Group with
which the College physician is associated.
11
Student Records
In accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, Mill-
saps College students have the right to review, inspect, and challenge the accuracy
of information kept in a cumulative file by the institution. It also ensures 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 Millsaps College as directo-
ry 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 attendance, 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, con-
sult the staff of the Office of Records or the Office of Student Affairs.

Loan Funds
Guaranteed Student Loan Program. Under this program the student will com-
plete the Guaranteed Student Loan Application for the Agency for his or her home state
and a Financial Aid Form. He/she sends the Financial Aid Form to the College Scholar-
ship Service listing Millsaps as the recipient. The student should send the Guaranteed
Student Loan Application to Millsaps so that the college can complete its portion of this
form. Once the student and college officials have completed their portions, the student
should then take the completed form to an approved lender (a Credit Union, Bank, Sav-
ings and Loan, and any other lending institution). If the student cannot find a lender,
he/she should contact the financial aid office at Millsaps. The interest on these loans
at this time is 8% until the beginning of the 5th year of repayment and then the interest
becomes 10%. If a student qualifies, the federal government will pay the interest while
the student is in school. Annual loan limits are $2,625.00 for undergraduate freshmen
and sophomores, $4,000.00 for upper level undergraduates and $7,500.00 for gradu-
ate students. The cumulative limits are $1 7,250.00 for an undergraduate and $54,750.00
for undergraduate and graduate work combined. (Repayment begins six months after
graduation or withdrawal from school.)
Plus/SLS. Under this program parents of students enrolled or accepted for enroll-
ment as at least half-time students are eligible to borrow for the student's educational
expenses. Independent undergraduate students or graduate/professional students who
are enrolled or admitted for enrollment as at least half-time students are eligible to bor-
row for their educational expenses under this program. Applications for this program
may be obtained from the Student Aid Financial Planning Office. A variable interest rate
has been established for both of these programs. Interest will be the one-year Treasury
20
Bill rate, plus 3.75%, with a maximum of 12%. For a parent borrower $4,000.00 is the
maximum per academic year for each dependent undergraduate student not to exceed
a total of $20,000.00. The repayment period on the loan begins the day the loan is dis-
bursed and interest begins to accrue that day. The first payment is due within 60 days
of the date of loan disbursement.
Perkins Loans (NDSL). A student may borrow in the first two academic years
a total sum not to exceed $4,500 and during the undergraduate course of study a sum
not exceeding $9,000. Payment of the loan begins nine months after the borrower has
completed or withdrawn from higher education work and will be completed within 10
years and nine months. The interest rate is 5 percent during repayment. Detailed infor-
mation concerning this loan and application forms can be secured from the Dean of
Student Aid Financial Planning at Millsaps.

Additional Financial Aid Opportunities
Part-time Employment: Students who want part-time work on campus must ap-
ply through the Awards Committee. Students seeking employment off campus may con-
tact the Placement Office.
The College Work-Study Program has been established from funds contributed
by the federal government and the college to provide financial assistance through em-
ployment.
State Student incentive Grants are provided by Millsaps, the state of Mississippi
and the federal government. These funds are to help qualified students with substantial
financial need.
Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants are provided by the federal
government to provide supplemental grants to other aid to assist in making available
the benefits of higher education to qualified students of exceptional financial need who,
for lack of financial means of their own or their families, would be unable to obtain an
education without such aid.
The Pell Grant was established by the Educational Amendments of 1972 and is
funded by the federal government. When the grant is fully funded, each student is enti-
tled each academic year to a grant of $2,100 less family contribution (method of deter-
mining this contribution to be set by the U.S. Commissioner of Education), or half the
college cost, whichever is less.

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 Campus Ministry Team and other
organizations on campus. 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 an informed com-
mitment to a life of faith in the world.
To meet this goal, the campus ministry program at Millsaps utilizes as fully as pos-
sible the experiences of students in the classroom and the questions raised about the
meaning of a life of faith as a point of departure. Programs concerning the relationship
of faith to issues raised in the classroom, to questions about the focus of one's life and
to questions about the meaning of being human are a focal point of the campus minis-
try program of the college.
Campus ministry at Millsaps is coordinated through the Campus Ministry Team,
a group of approximately 70-80 students and staff, with faculty advisor, who plan for
the college community. The team works through task groups responsible for the vari-
ous programs and projects of the Team: the weekly chapel services, voluntary service
opportunities, faculty-student forums on various issues, sponsorship of events on the
Friday Forum Series, devotional booklets written by students, faculty and staff; events
in connection with the annual Student Symposium and others.
In addition to the Campus Ministry Team, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and
Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship sponsor groups on campus, as does the Catholic Church
in the form of Catholic Campus Ministries. All campus ministry is strongly ecumenical.
Furthermore, in addition to the College Chaplain, the college has been fortunate to have
additional parttime and fulltime persons at various times working on campus through
the United Methodist Mission Intern Program, the Catholic VOICE program and Inter-
Varsity Christian Fellowship.
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, 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 activity is the Fri-
day 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 in-
terest in current issues, to explore historical events, and to present differing perspec-
tives 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 academ-
ic departments interested in organizing programs open to the entire campus. These
include films, guest speakers, and music recitals.
All of these activities have to do with the true aim of liberal education: the liberation
of the mind to grasp the world of nature and of human experience and action in all
its richness and complexity, and to respond with awareness, sensitivity, concern, and
mature judgment.
Athletics
The athletic policy of Millsaps College is based on the premise that athletics exist
for the benefit of the students and not primarily to enhance the prestige and publicity
of the college.
Competitive sports conducted in an atmosphere of good sportsmanship and fair
play can make a significant contribution to the complete physical, emotional, moral, and
24
mental development ot the well-rounded individual. They are thus an integral 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, golf, and soc-
cer. The women's program includes basketball, tennis, soccer, crosscountry, and golf.
The programs are conducted on guidelines established by the National Collegiate
Athletic Association, of which Millsaps College is a member.
Those who participate in intercollegiate athletics are required to observe and main-
tain the same academic standards as other students.
Intramural
The program for men provides competition among campus organizations in basket-
ball, volleyball, softball, tennis, and soccer. The program for women includes volley-
ball, tennis, basketball, softball, and soccer.
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.
Now in its seventy-ninth year, the Bobashela is the annual student publication of
Millsaps College, attempting to give a comprehensive view of campus life. Bobashela
is an Indian name for good friend.
Through Stylus, the college literary magazine, students interested in creative writ-
ing 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.
Music and Drama
The Millsaps Singers
Open by audition to all students, the Singers represent Millsaps in public perfor-
mances, campus programs and annual tours throughout the state and other areas of
the United States. In recent years the choir has traveled to Colorado; to Washington,
D.C.; to Atlanta to record for the National Protestant Hour; and to Mexico. The choir
has sung with the Memphis Symphony Orchestra three times, the Jackson Symphony
many times, the Chicago Chamber Orchestra and the New Orleans Philharmonic. Mem-
bership earns two semester hours of activity credit for the year's work.
The 1985-86 concert season included the Millsaps Singers Fiftieth Anniversary Con-
cert. A choral work by Samuel Jones, a graduate of the Millsaps music department,
was commissioned and premiered during this concert.
The Troubadours
Auditions are held each fall for membership in the Troubadours, a show choir of
16 students selected from the Singers. The Troubadours represent the college at numer-
ous campus, high school, and cultural functions throughout the region.
The Millsaps Players
The Millsaps Players, now in their seventh decade, produce four full-length plays
each year. In addition, they present several one-act plays directed by senior theatre
majors. Casting for all plays is done by audition, open to all students. Participation in
Players productions, either onstage or backstage, earns credit toward membership in
Alpha Psi Omega, national honorary dramatics fraternity. Among the major productions
staged in recent years are Candida, Damn Yankees, The Merchant of Venice, Nude
with Violin, The Winslow Boy, Equus, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Camino Real, West
Side Story, The Lion in Winter, Sweet Bird of Youth, Hedda Gabler, She Stoops to Con-
quer, Sunday in New York, Conduct Unbecoming and Summer and Smoke.

dent elections; 5) carrying out traditional class responsibilities; and 6) the intramural
program.
The Judicial Council is composed of eight voting members in addition to the two

appointed by the vice president and dean of the college with the approval of the presi-
dent; one administrative staff member appointed by the president; five student mem-
bers and two student alternate members appointed by a committee composed of three
student Judicial Council members and three Student Body Association officers and con-
firmed by the Student Senate. The dean of student affairs serves as the non-voting secre-
tary, and the associate dean of student affairs serves in a non-voting capacity.
The Judicial Council generally has jurisdiction over student disciplinary cases. Limi-
tations of its authority are delineated in the constitution of the Millsaps College Student

must be done in residence as a degree-seeking student. The three 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 affiliated institution and
(3) students leaving to enter 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).
8. English Proficiency Requirement:
Before receiving a bachelor's degree each student is required to demonstrate profi-
ciency in English composition and usage by passing an examination given by the En-
glish Department. It consists of a 500-word essay written extempore within two and
one-half hours on a subject selected from a list furnished at the examination. Students
who made grades of A or B on English 101-102, 103-104, or 105 at Millsaps are ex-
empted from this examination. Students may also demonstrate the required proficiency
in Liberal Studies 100.
The examination is given by the English Department twice in the academic year.
The regular administration usually occurs in the second or third week of November.
A special administration of the examination is given in the second or third week of March
to seniors who hope to graduate but who have not passed the Junior English Proficien-
cy Examination. Seniors who fail the special examination and who think they have com-
pelling cause may petition the dean of the college for an extraordinary administration
of the examination in the summer session following. If the dean grants the petition, he
may also stipulate that the student must audit English 1 01 -1 02 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 administra-
tion 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. Majors:
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, chemis-
try, classics, computer studies, economics, education, English, French, geology, Ger-
man, history, mathematics, music, philosophy, physics, political science, psychology,
religion, sociology, Spanish, or theatre. For students pursuing the B.L.S. degree an in-
terdisciplinary major is also possible with the consent of the appropriate departments.
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 no later than the beginning of the junior
year and the proper forms submitted to the Office of Records. All work to be applied
toward the major must be approved in advance by the department chairman or the
student's major professor.
A student may have more than one major by completing the requirements in the
departments involved.
10. Minors:
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. A minimum
36
Df eight hours toward the minor must be taken at Millsaps. Specific requirements for
a particular minor can be found under the appropriate department of instruction.
11. Comprehensive Examinations:
Before receiving a bachelor's degree the student must pass a satisfactory compre-
hensive 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 written
and part oral, the division of time between the two to be at the discretion of the mem-
bers of the department concerned. The oral examination will be conducted by a com-
mittee 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.
Students may take the comprehensive examination only if the courses in which they
have credit and in which they are currently enrolled are those which fulfill the require-
ments in their major department. They may take the examination in the spring semester
if they are 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 is given in the College calendar. Com-
prehensive examinations will not be given at any other time except by permission of
the dean. Those who fail a comprehensive examination may have an opportunity to
take another examination after the lapse of two months. 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.L.S.
degrees; 248 for the B.M. degree. An overall quality point index of 2.00 is required 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 Section Grades, Honors, Class Standing.)
13. Application for a Degree:
Each student who is a candidate for a degree is required to submit a written appli-
cation 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 session. 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 30
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 composition
(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 sopho-
more year. Those freshmen who, by virtue of previous study, plan to satisfy the lan-
guage 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.
37
Pre-Medical and Pre-Dental
It is the responsibility of the pre-medical and pre-dental students to consult the cata-
logs of the schools to which they wish to apply for their specific requirements. The fol-
lowing courses are required by nnany medical and dental schools.
Biology 131-132 8 hours Mathematics 115-116 or 115-108. 8 hours
Chemistry 121-122, 123-124 . 8 hours Physics 111-112 or 131-132 in addition to
Chemistry 231-232, 233-234 .10 hours 151-152 8-10 hours
The student is urged to consult with a member of the Pre-medical Advisory Com-
mittee (Sarah Armstrong, Al Berry, Robert Kahn, Robert Nevins, Robert McAdory, and
Edmond Venator) in designing a program that will fit particular needs, background and
interest.
Millsaps College and the majority of medical and dental schools strongly recom-
mend that the student obtain a baccalaureate degree in an area of interest. This cata-
log should be consulted elsewhere for the exact major and degree requirements. Millsaps
and most medical and dental schools also strongly recommend that the student de-
velop 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. Students planning to obtain such
credit should first consult the medical or dental schools in which they have an interest
to be certain that the school will accept such credit.
Students should remember that the requirements listed in a medical or dental school
catalog are minimal but that they should obtain maximum preparation. In general, the
student who is weak in some science, as shown by performance in introductory college
courses, is urged to take further work in that science to prepare adequately. The stu-
dent 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, 315, 381, 383, 391
Chemistry 251-253, 264-266, 363-365, 364-366
English
Economics and Business Administration
Foreign Language (reading knowledge)
History
Mathematics 223-224 or 225-226
Philosophy
Physics 301, 306, 311-312, 315, 316
Psychology 303, 307
Sociology
The Heritage Program gives the student a more flexible schedule and time to take
additional courses of interest and need.
Pre-Ministerial
There is no required program of studies for persons planning to enter one of the
ministries of the Church. Undergraduate pre-seminary work at Millsaps should include
significant work in the study of religion and philosophy and in the behavioral sciences.
A major may be chosen from several fields, including literature, philosophy, psycholo-
gy, religion, and sociology. Pre-ministerial students are urged to consult with the pre-
ministerial adviser, the chairman of the Department of Religion, early in their freshman
year.
Given the special challenges of the practice of ministry, students should plan to
undertake professional education in a theological seminary. The best basis for such
professional education is an undergraduate education with breadth in liberal arts studies.
38
Pre-Law
No particular major or sequence of courses is necessary for students planning to
go to law school; there is no ideal pre-iaw program for all students. To do well in the
study of law, a student should possess:
(a) ability to communicate effectively and precisely
(b) critical understanding of the human institutions with which the law deals
(c) creative power in thinking.
Different students may obtain the desired training in these three areas from different
courses. Therefore, students should consult with their faculty or major 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 advisor, 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. Introductory
courses in sociology, psychology, and social work are essential. Other courses which
are strongly recommended include Social Problems, Theories of Personality, and So-
cial Psychology. Internships can provide valuable practical experience with community
social welfare agencies. Students are urged to consult with their faculty advisers to plan
a schedule.
Programs for Teacher Certification
A student may prepare for teacher certification at Millsaps College in a variety of
ways. Millsaps offers Teacher Education Programs which lead to certification at the
elementary school level (K-8), the secondary school level (7-12), and in special areas
(K-1 2). A student may pursue any degree offered by the College and qualify for teacher
certification provided all College major requirements are met and all teacher certifica-
tion requirements are met. The Teacher Education Programs offer certification in Elemen-
tary Education (K-8), Secondary Education (7-12) in Bible, English, Foreign Language,
Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies, and in the special areas (K-1 2) Art, Health
and Physical Education, and Music Education. A student may also qualify for the "add-
on" certificate in Computer Education, Gifted Education, or Remedial Reading. The
Teacher Education Programs qualify the student for provisional teacher certification as
required by the Office of Teacher Certification and the Mississippi State Board of Edu-
cation. After completing a certification program at Millsaps, the student will be prepared

Cooperative Programs
BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
3-2 Master's Program in Business Administration: The Else School of Manage-
ment at Millsaps College offers a program permitting an undergraduate at Millsaps to
pursue any non-B.B.A. degree concurrent with the M.B.A. degree. The student would
complete substantially all Millsaps core and major requirements in three years and ap-
ply to the M.B.A. program in the junior year. An acceptable score on the Graduate
Management Admission Test is required for admission. The baccalaureate degree would
be awarded after the degree requirements are satisfied at that level, normally after the
fourth year, and the masters degree after the fifth year. Twenty-six hours of graduate
work may be applied towards the undergraduate degree in this program. Details of the
program may be obtained from the Assistant Dean of the Else School of Management.
ENGINEERING AND APPLIED SCIENCE
This program at Millsaps offers many opportunities for the student interested in en-
gineering, applied science, management and business administration. With this cooper-
ative program the student can combine the advantages of a liberal education at Millsaps
with the specialized programs of a major university. The Arthur C. Miller Pre-engineering
Scholarship Fund provides a scholarship based on financial need and academic progress
for a student expressing an interest in engineering.
3-2 B.S. Programs: At present we have arrangements with five universities -
Auburn, Columbia, Georgia Tech, Vanderbilt and Washington Universities- by which
a student may attend Millsaps for three years accumulating a minimum of 93 hours and
then continue work at any of the schools listed above. The student then transfers a maxi-
mum of 31 hours back for a bachelor's degree from Millsaps and at the end of the fifth
year recieves another bachelor's degree from the university.
4-2 B.S. and M.S. Programs: The Columbia University Combined Plan also has
4-2 programs in which a student attends Millsaps for four years completing degree re-
quirements and then spends two more years at Columbia to obtain a B.S. or M.S. degree
from the Columbia School of Engineering and Applied Science.
3-3 B.S.-M.S. and B.S.-M.B.A. Programs: Washington University also has a Com-
bined Degree Program wherein the student spends three years at Millsaps as in the
3-2 program, but then spends three years at Washington University earning both the
B.S. and M.S. from the School of Engineering and Applied Science or both the B.S.
from the School of Engineering and Applied Science and the M.B.A. from the Gradu-
ate School of Business Administration.
A wide variety of programs are offered by the five participating universities, includ-
ing financial aid for qualified students. For detailed descriptions of programs and finan-
cial aid the interested student is urged to consult with the Pre-engineering Advisor, Robert
McAdory. To be admitted to the programs listed below the student must fulfill certain
minimum course requirements at Millsaps. For many programs, particularly those in
engineering and applied science, the mathematics requirements are strict. To keep the
3-2 or 4-2 option viable, a student should plan to take calculus at the earliest possible
time at Millsaps.
The Dual Degree Program at Auburn University includes bachelor of engineering
degrees in aerospace, chemical, civil, electrical, industrial, materials and mechanical
engineering. It is also possible to obtain a B.S. in agricultural engineering.

MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY
Millsaps College offers a three-year program for those who plan to enter schools
Df medical technology. This college work includes not only the necessary science and
Tiathematics courses, but also courses in history, fine arts, sociology, composition, liter-
ature, and other subjects which ensure a liberal arts experience for pre-medical tech-
lology students.
Millsaps College maintains a formal affiliation with several schools of medical tech-
lology which are approved by the Council on Medical Education and Hospitals of the
\merican Medical Association. This is the only qualifying board recognized by the Ameri-
:an Medical Association, the American Society of Clinical Pathologists, the American
Dollege of Surgeons, the American Hospital Association, and other authoritative medi-
cal groups.
The medical technology student is expected to spend the first three years at Mill-
saps College (or transfer here from another recognized college, with at least the third
/ear spent in residence here) and the senior year at theapproved 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
inal 26 hours of work. The courses required for registry are accepted as completing
he 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
raining.
Medical technology students are encouraged to secure the B.S. or B.A. degree
Defore entering an approved school of medical technology.
MILITARY SCIENCE
A Military Science program is offered on the campus of Jackson State University
jnder a cross-enrollment agreement between Millsaps College, Jackson State Univer-
sity, and the U.S. Army. Students enrolled at Millsaps are eligible to enroll and attend
Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) classes on the campus of Jackson State Univer-
sity. Credits earned in ROTC will be entered onto the student's transcript but will not
De counted towards Millsaps graduation requirements.
ROTC provides male and female students an opportunity to earn a commission
as a Second Lieutenant (2LT) in the U.S. Army, the IJ.S. Army Reserves, or the Army
National Guard, concurrent with the pursuit of an academic degree. The objectives of
;he program are:
'^) To provide an understanding of how the U.S. Army, U.S. Army Reserves, and Army
National Guard fit into our national defense structure.
[2) To develop the leadership and managerial potential of students needed to facilitate
their future performance as officers.
'3) To develop student abilities to think creatively and to speak and to write effectively.
^4) To encourage the development of mental and moral standards that are essential
to military service.
The program of instruction includes developing self-discipline, physical stamina and
Dther qualities necessary for leadership.
The ROTC Program is divided into a basic course of instruction (freshman and sopho-
more classes) and an advanced course of instruction (junior and senior classes). In ad-
dition to the course of instruction, students are required to attend a leadership laboratory
in conjunction with all ROTC courses.
There is no charge for enrolling in the ROTC program; however, cadets must be
full-time undergraduate students (12 semester hours or more) or full-time graduate stu-
41
dents (9 semester hours or more) before enrollment in ROTC. Books, equipment, and
uniforms are free of charge to the students. Three- and two-year ROTC scholarships
are also awarded on a competitive basis.

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 and the fall of their senior year, honors students carry out
a research project of their choice under the direction of a professor from their major
department. The project culminates in an honors thesis, which is presented before a
panel of faculty members. In the spring of the senior year, students participate in an
interdisciplinary colloquium which intensively examines a topic of broad interest. Stu-
dents successfully completing all phases of the Honors Program receive the designa-
tion "with honors" in their major subject at graduation. Students interested in participating
in the Honors Program should consult with the director of the Honors Program 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 Labora-
tory, Oak Ridge, TN. A full semester's academic credit is normally earned. The student
42
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 Univer-
sity, 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 govern-
mental 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 par-
ticipating colleges will spend a semester at the School of Government and Public Ad-
ministration of The American University in Washington. They earn 16 hours of credit
toward graduation in their home colleges. Eight hours are earned in a Conference Semi-
nar, 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 In-
ternship, 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 program.
The United Nations Semester
A cooperative program with Drew University in Madison, NJ, enables Millsaps po-
litical science majors to spend a semester making a firsthand 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 regu-
lar 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 diminished by participation in the program.
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 University, Leeds Universi-
ty, and other outstanding schools. Students live in a residential hotel in the heart of Lon-
don. 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 program.
British Studies at Oxford
Millsaps College in cooperation with seven other colleges in the Southern College
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 milieu which affords an incomparable opportunity to benefit
from the experience. Up to six hours of credit may be earned through this program.
Limited financial aid is available.
43
International Studies in London
A six-week summer program based in London and focusing on challenges of the
multinational economy was recently instituted under the auspices of the Southern Col-
lege and University Union. It provides an opportunity to study in an integrated way the
social, economic, and political facets of contemporary international problems while ob-
serving firsthand the operations of a major financial center. Up to six hours of credit
may be earned through this program. Limited financial aid is available.
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 and the
Institute of European Studies. Students with a special interest in classics should con-
sider the Intercollegiate Center for Classical Studies in Rome and the College Year in
Athens Program, both of which offer semester programs in the classical languages com-
bined with archeological site and museum study during the regular academic year. The
American Academy in Rome and the American School of Classical Studies in Athens
offer summer programs in classical art and archeology. 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 concern-
ing these programs from the chairman 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, per-
forming 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.
Real Estate Institute
The Real Estate Institute provides credit and non-credit courses to serve the real
estate industry in the State of Mississippi. This program is administered by the School
of Management and course offerings are described in that section of the catalog.
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 prominent
regional and national business organizations and an agency of the federal government.
The student's training is conducted and supervised by competent management per-
sonnel according to a predetermined agenda of activities. Evaluation of the student's
participation and progress provides the basis for granting appropriate academic credit.
See offerings 451-452 in the Else 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.
Adult Degree Program
The Adult Degree Program was established in 1982 to meet the needs of adults
24 years of age and older who, because of work or family responsibilities, cannot at-
tend college in the traditional way. Students admitted to the Adult Degree Program are
candidates for the Bachelor of Liberal Studies degree.
This program features individualized academic advising, a required introductory
seminar for adults returning to college, evaluation of previous college work, credit for
44
prior learning, and an opportunity for independent directed study. Students in the Adult
Degree Progrann may elect to major in one of the traditional disciplines or they may
choose to design an interdisciplinary major.
In addition to its academic programs, Millsaps provides a variety of special serv-
ices for adult students. These include career planning and placement assistance, finan-
cial aid, information sessions, and newsletters.
For further information about the Adult Degree Program, see the Guidelines and
Procedures Handbool<.
Post Baccalaureate
Teacher Certification Program
The Post Baccalaureate Teacher Certification Program is designed for the student
who holds the bachelor's degree and seeks only teacher certification. The program fea-
tures an intensive summer program, evening classes, the opportunity for independent
directed study, and academic advising regarding the Mississippi State Department of
Education's "Alternate Route" for Teacher Certification. For further information regard-
ing the PBTC program please contact the Office of Adult Learning or the Department
of Education.
The Graduate Program
Master of Business Administration
The Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.) degree is offered in both daytime
and evening classes. The Millsaps M.B.A. program is particularly suited for those stu-
dents with a liberal arts bacl<ground. 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 founda-
tion courses may be taken at the undergraduate level: Accounting 281-282; Business
Administration 220, 275, 321 , 333, 334, 336, 362; Economics 201-202; and Computer
100.
For further information about the MBA Program, see the Graduate Catalog.
45
Administration of the Curriculum
Grades, Honors, Class Standing
The grade in any class is determined by the combined class standing and a written
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 grade.
"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.
T" 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 com-
puted 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 qual-
ity point for each semester hour; a grade of C for the semester shall entitle a student
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 index is deter-
mined by dividing the total numiber 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; 144 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 fewer than 12 academic hours may not represent
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 stu-
dents 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 stu-
dents 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 the B. M. degree)
letter-graded hours requirement and cannot be used to fulfill core requirements or major
requirements.
48
When grade option is available, it will be incumbent upon the student to nnake 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 appropriate
approval.)
Repeat Courses
A student may enroll in a course at Millsaps which has previously been taken. In
such a case the highest grade earned in that course will be used in determining the
cumulative quality point average. If, however, a course previously taken at Millsaps is
repeated at another school, the Millsaps grade, whether higher or lower will be used
in determining the cumulative quality point average. All grades reported for the course
remain a part of the permanent record.
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 shall be graduated Magna Cum Laude;
and one whose quality point index is 3.9 and who has a rating of excellent on the com-
prehensive 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 students will be considered eligible
only if they have the required index both on the work done at Millsaps and on college
courses as a whole.
Graduation Witli Honors
A full-time student with junior standing who has an overall 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 to the pro-
gram will in the second semester of the junior year enroll in a directed study entitled
Honors Research I. Work begun at that time will ordinarily be completed in the fall
semester of the senior year when the student will be enrolled in Honors Research II.
A letter grade will be given for each of these courses. The two semesters of research
are intended to culminate in an honors paper presented to the Honors Council and
defended before an examining board.
The last semester in the Honors Program consists of an Honors Colloquium designed
to bring together for intellectual exchange all students in the Honors Program. The aim
of the Honors Colloquium is the total involvement of good minds in the exchange of
ideas and values centering around selected themes and areas of investigation of mutu-
al interest to all disciplines. The Honors Colloquium is required of all students in the
Honors Program.
A candidate who completes the colloquium satisfactorily, who presents and de-
fends the honors paper satisfactorily, who has a 3.0 overall quality point index, and who
has a 3.33 index in honors work will be graduated with Honors. A candidate who has
a 3.6 overall quality point index, who has a 4.0 index in honors work and who has present-
ed a superior honors paper will be graduated with High Honors.
A student may voluntarily withdraw candidacy for honors at any time. Students en-
rolled in honors courses are, however, bound by the general college rules for dropping
a course and for receiving course credit. Candidacy may be involuntarily terminated
upon the recommendation of the honors advisor and with the approval of the Honors
Committee.
49
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 college
community.
Hours Permitted
Fifteen academic semester hours is considered the normal load per semester.
Students may not take more than 1 7 semester hours of academic work unless they
have a quality index of 2.5 on the last semester. No student may take more than 19
semester hours without a quality point index of 3.00 on the last semester and permis-
sion 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, unless a graduating senior.
Administrative Regulations
Schedule Changes
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 adviser.
No student can be registered for courses in another college while being enrolled
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
dropped after this time are recorded as F. Students who drop a course without securing
the required approvals will receive an F.
Withdrawal
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 con-
sidered unless this written notice is procured and presented to the Business Office.
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 withdrawing
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 all accounts are settled in the Business Office.
Academic Suspension
For full-time students entering the college as freshmen, it is necessary to pass in
the first semester six hours of academic work in order to remain in college. Thereafter
a full-time student must pass nine hours of academic work to be eligible to continue
50
in college. Furthermore, the maximum number of semesters a student may be on aca-
demic probation without suspension is two.
Students who are requested not to re-enter because of academic failure may peti-
tion in writing for re-admission, 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. However, such a student may attend the summer session at Millsaps without
a petition.
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 ap-
ply 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 on academic probation for
two semesters is asked not to re-enroll at Millsaps College.
Unsatisfactory Academic Progress
A part-time student who makes a quality index of less than 1 .5 in any semester
will be notified that he or she is making unsatisfactory academic progress. To be re-
moved from that classification the student must make a 2.0 quality index during a regu-
lar semester or summer session.
Class Attendance
Irregular attendance indicates that the student may be having difficulties adjusting
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 circumstances, the
faculty member is expected to report in writing the student's unsatisfactory 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— after three successive absences for reasons unknown to the in-
structor, or when 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 the 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. Ex-
planation 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 explana-
tions are not in themselves excuses. This is particularly important in the case of absences
involving missed examinations, late assignments, laboratory sessions and similar sched-
uled commitments. Faculty members, however, may not excuse students from atten-
dance on the two days preceding and the two days following vacation periods without
the express permission of the dean.
Each student is responsible for knowing general attendance policy of the college
and the particular policies operative in each class. Further details relating to attendance
are in the student handbook.
Permission to make up an examination or alter the time for an examination may
be granted only through the vice president and dean of the college. Any special exami-
nation, if granted, must be held no later than the sixth week of the next regular semester.
A student who has been excluded from a course by recommendation of the in-
structor may 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 ad-
ministered by the instructor, shall cover the work of the course up to that date. Re-entry
51
shall depend upon the examination results. If a student does not petition for re-entry,
or if the re-entry is denied, the grade shall be recorded as F.
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 exemption
does not ensure the student a final grade of C, since daily grades during the last two
weeks shall count in the final average. Under no circumstances may a student be ex-
empt 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
or associate dean of the college. Students may request exemption from other require-
ments by petition to the dean of the college.
Student Behavior
The College has the responsibility and authority to establish standards for scholar-
ship, student conduct and campus life. Therefore, it cannot condone violations of local,
state or federal laws or conduct detrimental to students or to the College. Students, as
adults, are presumed to know the law as to illegal conduct prohibited by municipal,
state or federal law and are governed thereby.
Millsaps students are expected to act with honesty and integrity in personal, social
and academic relationships and with consideration and concern for the community, its
members and its property.
Millsaps requires from every student sober, decorus and upright conduct as long
as he/she remains a member of the college community, whether he or she be within
its precincts or not. No individual or group should cause serious discomfort or injury
to others or to the community. This will include such acts as obstruction or disruption
of teaching, research, administration or other collegiate activities and unauthorized en-
try to or use of college facilities.
The College expects students to be concerned with the physical and psychologi-
cal well-being of others and cannot condone behavior which exploits another individu-
al. Students and organizations are expected to comply with rules governing the academic,
social, and residential life of the College. They are expected to comply with directions
of college officials. Students are also responsible for the behavior of their guests while
on Millsaps property and/or at Millsaps functions.
Alcoholic Beverages
The Trustees and administration are fully committed to the spirit of the United
Methodist Church and are equally committed to comply with the laws of the state of
Mississippi regarding the consumption of alcoholic beverages, (which shall include, but
not be limited to, light wine and beer) on the Millsaps College campus. It is the position
of the college that the use of alcoholic beverages is not a part of, nor does it contribute
to, the total educational emphasis of Millsaps College and to the full and abundant life
that God wills for each person.
The College expects students to comply with the laws of the State of Mississippi
and the college regulations relating to alcoholic beverages and to accept responsibility
for their behavior as members of the College Community. The College does not con-
done the illegal possession, use, distribution or sale of alcoholic beverages.
A student may consume alcoholic beverages only within the privacy of his or her
room whether in the residence hall or in the fraternity/sorority facilities and only in ac-
cordance with the state law which prohibits the drinking of alcoholic beverages for those
under 21 years of age. Regardless of age and state law requirements, no student is
allowed to consume alcoholic beverages outside the confines of a student's room.
Fraternity and sorority facilities are subject to all applicable state laws and city or-
dinances. The display, serving, consumption, or any other use of alcoholic beverages
is prohibited in public areas which include the lounges, porches, yards, grounds and
other external structures of such facilities.
52
Consumption of alcoholic beverages for those of age in a student's room in the
residence hall or fraternity/sorority facilities must never result in irresponsible behavior
or contribute to an environment not conducive to the realization of the primary goals
and aims of the College.
The possession and consumption of alcoholic beverages are not permitted in any
public area on the campus. This includes all public areas on the campus. Public areas
are defined as any area outside of the student's private room.
Complete regulations governing the use of alcoholic beverages on campus and
at off-campus functions may be found in the current Major Facts, the student handbook.
The use, possession or distribution of narcotics or dangerous drugs such as mariju-
ana, except as expressly allowed by law, is not permitted. Gambling is not permitted
on campus.
Disciplinary Regulations
Students guilty of serious infractions of college regulations may be placed on so-
cial probation, disciplinary probation, suspension or expulsion at the discretion of the
Judicial Council, the dean of student affairs or the president of the college dependent
upon the original jurisdiction. Cases involving a recommendation of suspension or ex-
pulsion are automatically appealable to the president of the college.
Social Probation
Social probation is a warning to a student regarding conduct standards. Its primary
purpose is to serve as a period of time in which a student is asked to prove responsibili-
ty to himself/herself and the College.
When a student is placed on social probation he/she is prohibited from participat-
ing in extracurricular campus activities such as fraternity/sorority social activities, intramural
and varsity sports. In addition a student may hold no office of campus leadership.
When an organization is placed on social probation the organization may not sponsor
social activities in the name of the organization for the period of the social probation.
Disciplinary Probation
Disciplinary probation is the most serious penalty, short of suspension and expul-
sion, that can be incurred by a student. During a period of disciplinary probation any
further infraction of college regulations will render the student liable to suspension.
Disciplinary Suspension and Disciplinary Expulsion
Suspension is a decision to temporarily separate a student from the college.
Expulsion is a decision to permanently separate a student from the college.
When a student is placed on disciplinary probation, suspended or expelled, par-
ents are notified and asked to come to the campus for a conference with the President
and the dean of student affairs.
A more comprehensive statement of college policy regarding student behavior is
contained in the student handbook. Specific regulations pertaining to residence halls
and other facets of campus life are available through the Office of Student Affairs.

Objective of the Else School of Management. The objective of the Else School
of Management is to provide nnanagerial and professional leadership to the larger soci-
ety by educating future leaders in business and public administration and in the ac-
counting profession, by providing consulting and other services to the community, and
by expanding the body of knowledge in the field of management. With respect to the
educational mission, our goals are to develop a general management outlook tov/ard
organizations and the changing environment they face; to foster the ability to organize
information for analysis as the basis for making decisions; to instill standards of profes-
sional behavior which are consistent with the legitimate expectations of society; and
to provide technical expertise required for entry-level positions and leadership attri-
butes necessary to attain positions in general management.
Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA). Accounting and business adminis-
tration majors must complete additional requirements for the Bachelor of Business Ad-
ministration degree (B.B.A.). Economics majors must complete additional requirements
for either a B.S. or B.A. degree. The requirements for a major in accounting or in busi-
ness administration are in addition to courses which may be used to satisfy the mini-
mum college requirements for all degrees and cannot be used to satisfy both areas.
Majors must make a grade of C or better in all courses required by the Else School
of Management.
At least 54 hours must be earned in courses offered by the Else School of Manage-
ment and at least 51 hours must be earned outside the Else School of Management.
Coursework at the 300-level or above may be taken only by students who have
completed at least 52 semester hours.
Students pursuing the B.B.A. degree are encouraged to add depth in a non-business
95
area that a minor can provide. Minors which would be of particular value to students
in the Else School of Management are available in computer studies, modern languages,
English, chemistry, political science, psychology, and biology.
Transfer Credit: Transfer students should normally expect to satisfy the software
packages and statistics requirements (Business Administration 274 and 275) at Millsaps.
The typical first six hours of accounting principles will normally satisfy the department's
281-282 requirement. The typical six hours of sophomore economics will normally satisfy
the Economics 201-202 requirement. Transfer students will be required to satisfactorily
complete at least 18 hours of courses offered by the Else School of Management to
meet the requirement for the BBA degree and the major regardless of the specific re-
quirements satisfied by transfer hours. In some instances this may mean repeating cer-
tain transferred, upper-division courses. Students should not expect to transfer credit
in courses numbered at the 300-level or above from a community college to Millsaps.
Requirements for major in Accounting: The program of study is adequate prepa-
ration for the C.P.A. and CM. A. examinations. Accounting majors must complete the
