The Purpose of Millsaps College
Millsaps College has as its primary aim the development of men and women for respon-
sible leadership and well-rounded lives of useful service to their fellow men, their country,
and their God. It seeks to function as a community of learners where faculty and students
together seek the truth that frees the minds of men.
As an institution of the Methodist Church, Millsaps College is dedicated to the idea that
religion is a vital part of education; that education is an integral part of the Christian religion;
and that church-related colleges, providing a sound academic program in a Christian envi-
ronment, afford a kind of discipline and influence which no other type of institution can offer.
The college provides a congenial atmosphere where persons of all faiths may study and
work together for the development of their physical, intellectual, and spiritual capacities.
As a liberal arts college, Millsaps seeks to give the student adequate breadth and depth
of understanding of civilization and culture in order to broaden his perspective, to enrich his
personality, and to enable him to think and act intelligently amid the complexities of the mod-
ern worl(j. 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 ade-
quately 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 tech-
nicians has not been accompanied by education for good citizenship. It offers, therefore,
professional and pre-professional training balanced by cultural and humane studies. In an
environment that emphasizes the cultural and esthetic values to be found in the study of lan-
guage, literature, philosophy, and science, the student at Millsaps can also obtain the neces-
sary 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, dentis-
try, engineering, law, and other fields.
As an institution of higher learning, Millsaps College fosters an attitude of continuing in-
tellectual awareness, of tolerance, and of unbiased inquiry, without which true education
cannot exist. It does not seek to indoctrinate, but to inform and inspire. It does not shape the
student in a common mold of thought and ideas, but rather attempts to search out his often
deeply hidden aptitudes, capacities, and aspirations and to provide opportunities for his
maximum potential development. It seeks to broaden his horizons and to lift his eyes and
heart toward the higher and nobler attributes of life. The desired result is an intelligent, volun-
tary 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.

History of the College
Millsaps College was founded in 1 890 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 build-
ings, 149 students (two-thirds of whom were enrolled in a preparatory school), five instruc-
tors, and an endowment of $70,432. Fifty 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 1 908, 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 (1 910-1 91 2), Dr. Alexander Farrar Watkins (1 91 2-1 923), Dr.
David Martin Key (1923-1938), Dr. Marion Lofton Smith (1938-1952), Dr. Homer Ellis Fin-
ger, 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 stu-
dents for responsible citizenship and well-balanced lives, Millsaps offers professional and
pre-professional training coupled with cultural and disciplinary studies. Students are se-
lected on the basis of their ability to think, desire to learn, good moral character and intellec-
tual maturity. The primary consideration for admission is the ability to do academic work
satisfactory to the college and beneficial to the student.
Millsaps' 1 ,400-member student body represents about 35 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 advan-
tages include: the Mississippi 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. The Else School of Management is accredited at both the un-
dergraduate and graduate level by The American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Busi-
ness.
The Millsaps-Wilson Library
The Millsaps-Wilson Library has more than 240,000 volumes and 900 periodical sub-
scriptions. 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 listening facili-
ties. Special collections are: the Lehman Engel Collection of books and recordings; the Mis-
sissippi Methodist Archives; the Kellogg Collection of juvenile books and curriculum
materials; the Paul Ramsey Collection in Applied Ethics; the Eudora Welty collection; U.S.
Government Documents; the Millsaps Archives; and a rare book collection. Online com-
puter searches and CD-ROM indexes are among the electronic services offered. The library
is a member of the Central Mississippi Library Council and the Southeastern Library Net-
work.
The Computing Center
In today's increasingly complex and information-driven society, students need to under-
stand the role of computing. Millsaps fias developed outstanding computer resources to
meet thiis need. From several terminal complexes on campus students have access to the
Digital Equipment RSTS/E and VAX/VMS timesharing systems which are located in the
Computing Center in the Academic Complex. Included is the new facility with color graphics
terminals in the Olin Science Building. In addition, a word processing facility for student use
is available. To meet the growing interest in use of personal computers, the College has es-
tablished three personal computer laboratories: one in the Murrah Hall Annex, one in Murrah
Hall, and one in Sullivan-Harrell Hall.
Buildings and Grounds
The 1 00-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 1990, houses the de-
partments of Computer Studies, Geology, Mathematics, Physics, Education, Psychology
and Sociology. The Olin Hall of Science, dedicated in 1 988, houses the departments of Biol-
ogy and Chemistry.
The Christian Center, completed in 1 950, was built with gifts from Mississippi Method-
ists, alumni, and friends. It has a 1,000-seat auditorium, a small chapel, classrooms, and
offices. In 1 967, the stage was renovated into a modern theatre stage.
The Academic Complex, completed in 1 971 , includes a recital hall in which is located a
41 -rank Mohler organ. The complex houses Music, Art, Political Science, Computer Ser-
vices, 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.
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 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 lo-
cated in the student center also.
There are four residence halls for women and two for men. A new dormitory for junior
and senior men and women opened in the fall of 1 985. All are centrally cooled and heated.
The James Observatory is an historical landmark located on the northwest corner of the
campus.

Orientation and Advisement
Many members of the college community are involved on an ongoing basis with orient-
ing 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 aca-
demic 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 Counseling & Career Planning
and Placement Center. Students can receive counseling for a wide range of concerns. A
counselor 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-set-
ting, to discuss relationships or other personal concerns, to develop better coping skills, to
obtain information on other community resources, and to discuss other problems or con-
cerns. 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 ca-
reer fields and academic majors. Through interest testing, planning and consultation, stu-
dents 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 develop-
ment and movement toward a satisfying career choice. Students are invited to utilize re-
sources 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 experience. These re-
sources are available through the Counseling and Career Planning and Placement Center.
Developing skills in resume writing, interviewing and job search strategies are empha-
ses 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 em-
ployment opportunities are available and on-campus interviews are scheduled with repre-
sentatives from graduate and professional schools, businesses, industries and government
agencies.
Student Housing
The dean and associate dean of student affairs coordinate housing in cooperation with
residence 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 resi-
dence 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. Assignments are
11
made in the order in winicli tlie deposit and a completed application are received. Students
wishing to room together should make every effort to pay the college deposit at the same
time and to specify their desire to room together. Room preferences 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.
Assignments are made in the order in which this fee is received by the Business Office
according to the following priorities:
1 . Current residents who are returning and have paid the room deposit by the estab-
lished deadline announced each spring.
2. Freshman students who have paid the room deposit.
3. New transfer students who have paid the room deposit.
4. Current students who wish to return to college housing and who paid the room de-
posit on time.
5. Current returning student residents who have not paid the room deposit on time.
Current gtudents who have become academically ineligible and who have not been re-
admitted on petition by June 1 will be refunded the room deposit. These students, if readmit-
ted at a later date, will need to pay the room deposit and will be put on a waiting list for room
assignments.
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 9 a.m. on the day preceding each term and close at 1 2 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 scheduled classes
and reopen at 3 p.m. 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 during the regular academic year 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 (hours 9:00 a.m. to 1 :00 p.m. Monday through Friday
while school is in session) 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 ser-
vices are not available beyond the closing hours of the Internal Medicine Group with which
the College physician is associated. The college does not pay for visits to specialists.
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 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 catego-
ries of information have been designated by Millsaps College as directory informa-
tion: 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 informa-
tion needed for honors and awards. If you do not wish such information released
12
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.
Millsaps College will not release transcripts of records until all accounts are
paid in full. Should a party otherwise obligated to pay a just debt to the College fail
to pay any such debt or cost to the College, then the debt may be turned over to an
agent for collection and any such cost of collection must also be paid in full before
the transcript is released.

Loan Funds
Stafford Guaranteed Student Loan Program. Under this program the student will
complete 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 Scholarship
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, Savings 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 begin-
ning of the 5th year of repayment and then the interest becomes 1 0%. 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 un-
dergraduates and $7,500.00 for graduate 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.)

as at least half-time students are eligible to borrow for the student's educational expenses.

tional 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 Bill rate, plus 3.75%, with a maxi-
mum of 1 2%. 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 per-
iod on the loan begins the day the loan is disbursed and interest begins to accrue that day.
The first payment is due within 60 days of the date of loan disbursement.

sum not to exceed $4,500 and during the undergraduate course of study a sum not exceed-
ing $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

Student Life
tT-^.:^.
^^f] H
1991-92
Campus Ministry
Religious life at Millsaps centers around the churches, synagogue and other faith com-
munities of the city of Jackson and the religious life program coordinated through the Cam-
pus Ministry Team. Churches provide communities of faith for students, faculty and staff. The
campus religious life program attempts to provide experiences which explore the meaning
of a life of faith for a college community.
To accomplish this, a varied program is offered: sponsorship of special programs on the
Friday Forum Series on such issues as the occult, the family, and the Skinhead phenome-
non; a series that addresses from an intentionally Christian perspective such issues as abor-
tion, censorship and pornography, homosexuality and war; fellowship experiences; Bible
studies; projects in the community working with disadvantaged populations; chapel and
special services such as the Advent and Maundy Thursday Services; emphases on such
issues as AIDS and Adult Children of Alcoholics; and many others. In addition, the campus
chapter of Habitat for Humanity is very active and the Centennial Voluntary Service Project
has as its goal 1 00,000 hours of service to the community by students, faculty, staff, alumni,
parents and*members of the Board of Trustees. All of these experiences are meant to com-
municate an active understanding of the life of faith as it addresses crucial social needs.
In addition to the Campus Ministry Team, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes sponsors
a group on campus. 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 and the Catholic VOICE program.
The Office of the Chaplain serves as a liaison with churches and with The Mississippi
Conference of the United Methodist Church. Furthermore, a working relationship has been
established with many community projects and agencies as vehicles for student involve-
ment.
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 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 stiumlate interest in current is-
sues, to explore historical events, and to present differing perspectives on controversial sub-
jects. 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 de-
partments 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 mental
development of 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.
26
Intercollegiate
The program for men includes football, basketball, baseball, cross country, tennis, golf,
and soccer. The women's program includes basketball, tennis, soccer, cross country, and golf.
The programs are conducted on guidelines established by the National Collegiate Ath-
letic Association for Division ill institutions and the College Athletic Conference.
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, team handball, flag football, indoor soccer, and outdoor soccer. The pro-
gram for women includes volleyball, basketball, softball, and flag football.
Publications
The Purple and White is the official student newspaper of the college, and its staff is
composed of individuals interested in 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.
The Bobashela is the annual student publication of Millsaps College, attempting to give
a comprehensive view of campus life. Bobashela is an Indian name for good friend.
Through Stylus, the college literary magazine, students interested in creative writing
are given an opportunity to see their work in print. The publication comes out twice each
year and contains the best poetry, short stories and essays submitted by Millsaps students.
Music and Drama
The Millsaps Singers
Open by audition to all students, the Singers represent Millsaps in public performances,
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 Mem-
phis Symphony Orchestra three times, the Jackson Symphony many times, the Chicago
Chamber Orchestra and the New Orleans Philharmonic.
The Troubadours
Auditions are held each fall for membership in the Troubadours, a chamber choir of 1 6
students selected from the Singers who specialize in madrigals and vocal jazz. The Trouba-
dours represent the college at numerous campus, high school, and cultural functions
throughout the region.
The Wind Ensemble
The Wind Ensemble is an important performing group within the Music Department.
Made up of brass, woodwinds, and percussion, this ensemble is open to all students with
instrumental and musical experience. They enjoy giving performances alone or in concert
with the Millsaps Singers.
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. Cast-
ing 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 The
Tempest, Ring Round the Moon, Biloxi Blues, Ghosts, Equus, A Midsummer Night's Dream,
Camino Real, West Side Story, Sweet Bird of Youth, Hedda Gabler, She Stoops to Conquer,
Summer and Smoke, Dark of the Moon, All My Sons, Much Ado About Nothing, Shenan-
doah, and Tea and Sympathy

sponsible for 1 ) apportioning funds collected by the college as Student Association fees ac-
cording to college policies; 2) granting or revoking charters to student organizations; 3)
formulating rules of social and residence hall conduct; 4) supervising student 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 stu-
dent alternate members. Members are appointed as follows: two faculty members ap-
pointed by the vice president and dean of the college with the approval of the president; one
administrative staff member appointed by the president; five student members and two stu-
dent alternate members appointed by a committee composed of three student Judicial
Council members and three Student Body Association officers and confirmed by the Stu-
dent Senate. A student affairs staff member serves as the non-voting secretary.
The Judicial Council generally has jurisdiction over student disciplinary cases. Limita-
tions of its authority are delineated in the constitution of the Millsaps College Student Body
Association which is printed in the student handbook.

ology Spanish, or theatre. For students pursuing the B.L.S. degree an interdisciplinary
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 stu-
dent'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 de-
gree, they may elect a minor in those departments which offer one.
38
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 of
eight hours toward the minor must be taken at Millsaps. Specific requirements for a par-
ticular 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 knowl-
edge 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 re-
quirements in their major department. They may take the examination in the spring se-
mester if they are within 1 8 hours of graduation by the end of that semester. The
examination will be given in December or January for students who meet the other re-
quirements 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 con-
sent 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 Stand-
ing.)
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 de-
gree, and these additional hours must include all of the requirements for both the sec-
ond 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.
39
Enrollment in the required language courses will begin not later than the first se-
mester 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 ad-
vised to begin such courses in the freshman year while their experience in the language
chosen is recent.
Pre-Medical and Pre-Dental
it is the responsibility of the pre-medical and pre-dental students to consult the catalogs
of the schools to which they wish to apply for their specific requirements. The following
courses are required by many medical and dental schools.
Biology 131-133 8 hours
Chemistry 121-122, 123-124 8 hours
Chemistry 231 -232, 233-234 10 hours
Mathematics 140-145 6 hours
Physics 11 1-1 12 or 131-1 32 in addition to 151-1 52 8-10 hours
The student is urged to consult with a member of the Pre-medical Advisory Committee
(Sarah Armstrong, Al Berry, Robert Kahn, Robert Nevins, and Edmond Venator) in design-
ing a program that will fit particular needs, background and interest.
Millsaps College and the majority of 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 medi-
cal and dental schools also strongly recommend that the student develop a sound back-
ground in the humanities and social sciences.
Some medical and dental schools will not accept credit in laboratory science courses
obtained by C.L.E.R 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 stu-
dent 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 student
should also take courses that will not be available during professional training. The following
courses are recommended as electives by many medical and dental schools.
Biology 251 , 21 5, 301 , 320, 381 , 383, 391
Chemistry 251-253, 264-266, 363-365, 364-366, 391-393

The Heritage Program gives the student a more flexible schedule and time to take addi-
tional courses of interest and need.

tries 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, psychology, religion, and sociol-
40
ogy. Pre-ministerial students are urged to consult with the pre-nninisterial adviser, the chair-
man of the Department of Religion, early in their freshman year.
Given the special challenges of the practice of ministry, students should plan to under-
take professional education in a theological seminary. The best basis for such professional
education is an undergraduate education with breadth in liberal arts studies.
Pre- Law
No particular major or sequence of courses is necessary for students planning to go to
law school; there is no ideal pre-law program for all students. To do well in the study of law, a
student should possess:
(a) ability to communicate effectively and precisely
(b) critical understanding of the human institutions with which the law deals
(c) creative power in thinking.
Different students may obtain the desired training in these three areas from different
courses. Therefore, 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, back-
ground, and interests. The student with a pre-law interest should consult the pre-law adviser,
John Quincy Adams, or other members of the Pre-Law Advisory Committee (Peter Ward,
Del Gann and Marlys Vaughn).
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, preferably sociology.
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 so-
cial 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 (7-1 2), 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 certification requirements are met.
The Teacher Education Programs offer certification in Elementary Education (K-8), Second-
ary Education (7-12) in Bible, English, Foreign Language, Mathematics, Science, and Social
Studies, and in the special areas (K-1 2) Art, and Music Education. A student may also qual-
ify for endorsements in Computer Education, Gifted Education, Health and Physical Educa-
tion, 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 Education. After completing a certification program at Millsaps,
the student will be prepared to pass the provisional year evaluation and receive the standard
Class A certificate.
Prior to being admitted to any Teacher Education Program at Millsaps College, a
student shall have completed the core curriculum, achieved a minimum grade point average
of 2.50, passed the Communication Skills and General Knowledge tests of the National
Teacher Examination, received the written recommendation of two faculty members outside
the Department of Education, and completed all application procedures with the Chair of
the Department of Education. Teacher Education comprehensive examination requirements
include all four components of the National Teacher Examination. (Students are requested to
41
have copies of their NTE scores sent directly to the Mississippi State Department of Educa-
tion.) To receive the College's reconnmendation for teacher certification, the student must
maintain the 2.5 G.P.A., pass the Professional Knowledge and Specialty Area tests of the
National Teacher Examination no later than the fall semester of the senior year, and complete
the Portfolio for Comprehensive Examination with the Department of Education as appropri-
ate.
Cooperative Programs
BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
3-2 Master's Program in Business Administration: The Else School of Management
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 sub-
stantially all Millsaps core and major requirements in three years and apply 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 toward the undergrad-
uate 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 engi-
neering, applied science, management and business administration. With this cooperative
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, Vanderbiltand 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 maximum of 31 hours back
for a bachelor's degree from Millsaps and at the end of the fifth year receives another bache-
lor's degree from the university.
4-2 B.S. and IVI.S. Programs: The Columbia University Combined Plan also has 4-2
programs in which a student attends Millsaps for four years completing degree requirements
and then spends two more years at Columbia to obtain a B.S. or M.S. degree from the Co-
lumbia School of Engineering and Applied Science.
3-3 B.S. -IVI.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 pro-
gram, 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 En-
gineering and Applied Science and the M.B.A. from the Graduate School of Business Ad-
ministration.
A wide variety of programs are offered by the five participating universities, including
financial aid for qualified students. For detailed descriptions of programs and financial aid
the interested student is urged to consult with the Pre-engineering Advisor, Asif Khandker. To
be admitted to the programs listed below the student must fulfill certain minimum course re-
quirements 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 stu-
dent should plan to take calculus at the earliest possible time at Millsaps.
For students interested in engineering, the general expectation of the cooperating engi-
neering schools is that most, if not all, of the science, mathematics and humanities require-
ments for the engineering degree be taken at Millsaps. Students interested in a particular
program, however, should consult the catalog of the appropriate university and the Millsaps
pre-engineering advisor. Some programs have particular requirements, such as the Auburn
42
University electrical engineering requirement of an ethics course, which students might wish
to fulfill at Millsaps.
The Dual Degree Program at Auburn University includes bachelor of engineering de-
grees in aerospace, chemical, civil, electrical, industrial, materials and mechanical engi-
neering. It is also possible to obtain a B.S. in agricultural engineering.
The Combined Plan Program at Columbia University offers B.S. and M.S. degrees in
civil, electrical, industrial, mechanical, mining, nuclear, biological, chemical, metallurgical
and mineral engineering. Other programs include computer science, engineering mechan-
ics, applied mathematics (B.S. only), applied physics, materials science, operations re-
search, solid state science (M.S. only), chemical metallurgy, applied chemistry and
materials science.
The Dual Degree Program at the Georgia Institute of Technology offers degrees in aero-
space, ceramic, chemical, civil, electrical, industrial, mechanical, nuclear, and textile engi-
neering. Other programs include engineering science and mechanics, textile chemistry
textiles, health physics, economics, management, management science, applied biology
applied mathematics, applied physics, applied psychology, chemistry information and
computer science, and physics.
Vanderbilt University offers bachelor of engineering degrees in chemical, civil, electri-
cal and mechanical engineering.
Washington University offers B.S. and M.S. programs in chemical, civil, electrical and
mechanical engineering. Other programs include computer science, engineering and pub-
lic policy, systems science and engineering, and business administration (M.B.A.)
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 mathe-
matics courses, but also courses in history fine arts, sociology composition, literature, and
other subjects which ensure a liberal arts experience for pre-medical technology students.
Millsaps College maintains a formal affiliation with several schools of medical technol-
ogy which are approved by the Council on Medical Education and Hospitals of the Ameri-
can 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 completing the require-
ments of 124 semester hours for graduation. The B.S. degree is awarded at the first com-
mencement 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
MILITARY SCIENCE
A Military Science program is offered on the campus of Jackson State University under
a cross-enrollment agreement between Millsaps College, Jackson State University, and the
U.S. Army Students enrolled at Millsaps are eligible to enroll and attend Reserve Officer
Training Corps (ROTO) classes on the campus of Jackson State University Credits earned
in ROTC will be entered onto the student's transcript but will not be 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 U.S. Army Reserves, or the Army National
Guard, concurrent with the pursuit of an academic degree. The objectives of the program
are:
(1) To provide an understandingof how the U.S. Army U.S. Army Reserves, and Army Na-
tional Guard fit into our national defense structure.
43
(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 v\/rite effectively.
(4) To encourage the development of mental and moral standards that are essential to mili-
tary service.
The program of instruction includes developing self-discipline, physical stamina and
other 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 addition
to the course of instruction, students are required to attend a leadership laboratory in con-
junction with all ROTC courses.
There is no charge for enrolling in the ROTC program; however, cadets must be full-
time undergraduate students (1 2 semester hours or more) or full-time graduate students (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
Ford Fellows Program
The Ford Fellows Program provides an opportunity for upperclass students with an in-
terest in college teaching to work closely witfi a faculty member in their area of academic
interest. The program provides opportunities for research and scholarship as well as primary
teaching experience under faculty supervision. Students must submit an application jointly
with the faculty member with whom they will be working to the program director early in the
spring semester. Approximately twelve students are selected each year for participation in
this program.
The Honors Program
The Honors Program provides an opportunity for students of outstanding ability to pur-
sue 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 a professor's direction. The project's final product, consisting wholly or
partially of a written thesis, is presented before a panel of faculty members. In the spring of
the senior year, students participate in an interdisciplinary colloquium which intensively ex-
amines a topic of broad interest. Students successfully completing all phases of the Honors
Program receive the designation "with honors" in their field of honors work at graduation. Stu-
44
dents interested in participating in the Honors Program should consult with the director of
the Honors Program in the fall of their junior year.
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 depart-
ments and other national and international agencies that are located in Washington, thus ac-
quainting 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 partici-
pating colleges will spend a semester at the School of Government and Public Administra-
tion 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 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 remains an enrollee of Millsaps College for the purpose of scholarships and
loans, which are thus not diminished by participation in the program.
School of Management Intern Programs
Students have the opportunity of obtaining specialized training and practical experi-
ence through an established Internship Program. The program involves prominent regional
and national business organizations and agencies of the state government. The student's
training is conducted and supervised by competent management personnel according to a
predetermined agenda of activities. Evaluation of the student's participation and progress
provides the basis for granting appropriate academic credit. See offerings 451-452 in the
Else School of Management.
Summer Program in London
The Else School of Management offers a six-weeks summer program in London which
studies the global dimension of the business world. The program has focused its study on
the new Europe in recent years and a variety of field trips and guest speakers are integrated
into the courses. Either three or six hours can be earned in this program.
British Studies at Oxford
Millsaps College, through membership in the Associated Colleges of the South, spon-
sors a six-week intensive summer program at Oxford University in England. It enables stu-
dents 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.
Study Abroad Programs
Millsaps College maintains cooperative arrangements with the Institute of European
Studies and the Institute of East Asian Studies, which maintain programs in seven different
countries. Students with a special interest in classics should consider 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 combined 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
45
may receive information concerning these programs from the chairman of the appropriate
department or from Dr. Patrick Delana, Coordinator for Study Abroad.
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 vari-
ety of tasks such as research, writing, and marking up bills. Students also take part in a sem-
inar 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 posi-
tions.
The Office of Adult Learning
The Office of Adult Learning coordinates and administers services to adult learners.
Among these are the Adult Degree Program, the Community Enrichment Series, Leader-
ship Seminars in the Humanities, Advanced Placement Institutes, the admission of special
students and admission to the Summer Session.
The 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 attend 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 semi-
nar for adults returning to college, evaluation of previous college work, credit for prior learn-
ing, and the opportunity for independent directed study. Students in the Adult Degree
Program 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 services for
adult students. These include career planning and placement assistance, financial aid, infor-
mation sessions, and newsletters.
For further information about the Adult Degree Program, see the Guidelines and Proce-
dures Handbook.
Community Enrichment Series
Since 1 972, Millsaps College has offered to the Greater Jackson community a variety
of opportunities through the Community Enrichment Series. These are non-credit courses
which require no prerequisites and no examinations. They cover a variety of special interest
areas such as, "Writing for Magazines," "Understanding the Stock Market," "Computer Ba-
sics," "Assertiveness Training," "Landscape Gardening," and "Pottery" Enrichment courses
are available in the fall, winter and spring each year.
Leadership Seminars in the Humanities
Established in 1987 and made possible in part by a grant from the National Endow-
ment for the Humanities, Leadership Seminars in the Humanities bring together Millsaps
professors in the Humanities with corporate and professional leaders in the community.
These seminars offer an opportunity for serious engagement with intellectual issues affect-
ing society and the individual. Fifteen participants may be selected for each seminar.
Advanced Placement Institutes
Advanced Placement Institutes are offered each summer. Designed for teachers who
teach Advanced Placement courses to selected high school students, these Institutes are
taught by instructors recommended by The College Board. Participants work with these
master teachers to plan and prepare courses that will help students to become well pre-
46
pared for college courses and to perform creditably on the Advanced Placement Examina-
tions.
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 students with
a liberal arts background. 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, 274,
275, 321 , 333, 334, 336, 362; and Economics 201 -202.
For further information about the MBA Program, see the Graduate Catalog.

Administration
of the Curriculum
1991-92
Grades, Honors, Class Standing
The grade in any class is determined by the combined class standing and a written ex-
amination. The examination is approximately one-third ot 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.
"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
inG.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 student to two qual-
ity 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 determined by dividing the total num-
ber 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 1 968.
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 1 2 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 stu-
dent" 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 partic-
ipation of the student in all class activities. Credit signifies work of passing quality or above. It
will notcarry quality points nor be included in the G. PA. Students are reminded that (except
for certain internship programs) courses graded by the credit/no credit option do not count
50
toward fulfilling the 1 20 (1 24 for the B. M. degree) letter-graded hours requirement and can-
not 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 appropriate ap-
proval.)
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. A course may only be repeated for a higher grade at Millsaps. If 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 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. Distinc-
tion or special distinction may be refused a student who, in the judgment 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 With 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. Ad-
mission 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.
Election to Phi Beta Kappa
The Phi Beta Kappa chapter at Millsaps elects members from the graduating class each
spring. To be considered for election to membership in Phi Beta Kappa, a student must meet
the following criteria:
1 . Completion of requirements for a BA, BS or BLS degree with a liberal arts or sci-
ences major.
2. A minimum of six semesters at Millsaps.
3. A year of college level mathematics and two years of a foreign language (or the
equivalent as demonstrated by proficiency at the intermediate level).
4. A minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.6 based on seven or more semes-
ters. (Grades earned in applied or professional work are not counted in computing
GPA for the purpose of election to Phi Beta Kappa.)
No more than 1 0 percent of the liberal arts and sciences graduates may be elected to
membership from a graduating class.
Honors Program
The Honors Program extends over three semesters. A student admitted to the program
will in the second semester of the junior year enroll in a directed study entitled Honors Re-
search I. Work begun at that time will ordinarily be completed in the fall semester of the se-
nior 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 project presented to the Honors Council and defended before an examining board.
51
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 val-
ues centering around selected themes and areas of investigation of mutual interest to all dis-
ciplines. The Honors Colloquium is required of all students in the Honors Program.
A candidate who completes the colloquium satisfactorily, who presents and defends
the honors project 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 student may voluntarily withdraw 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 involuntarily terminated upon the recom-
mendation of the honors advisor 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 1 2 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 com-
munity.
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 permission from the
dean. No student may receive credit for more than 21 hours in a semester under any circum-
stances. In order to be classified as a full-time student, one must take no fewer than 1 2 se-
mester 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 (with-
drawn 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 considered un-
less this written notice is procured and presented to the Business Office.
Refunds will be made only as outlined under Financial Regulations.
52
A student who withdraws with permission after the first two weeks of a semester is re-
corded 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 circum-
stance which prevents the student from fulfilling the purpose of 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 disci-
pline 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 stu-
dent must pass nine hours of academic work to be eligible to continue in college. Further-
more, 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 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 apply for all
courses in which students are enrolled.
Students may be removed from probation by making a 2.00 quality index during a reg-
ular semester or during a summer session at Millsaps College in which the student is en-
rolled 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 removed from that
classification the student must make a 2.0 quality index during a regular semester or sum-
mer 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 stu-
dent'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 ab-
sence 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
53
administration may be lielpful to tlie faculty member, but sucli explanations are not in them-
selves excuses. This is particularly important in the case of absences involving missed ex-
aminations, late assignments, laboratory sessions and similar scheduled commitments.
Faculty members, however, may not excuse students from attendance on the two days pre-
ceding 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 examination, 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 instructor
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 administered by the in-
structor, shall cover the work of the course up to that date. Re-entry 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 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 or associate
dean of the college. Students may request exemption from other requirements by petition to
the dean of the college.
Honor in an Academic Community
Millsaps College is an academic community where men and women pursue a life of
scholarly inquiry and intellectual growth. The foundation of this community is a spirit of per-
sonal honesty and mutual trust. In order to maintain trust between members of the College,
faculty and students must adhere to these basic ethical principles. Honor within an aca-
demic community is not simply a matter of rules and procedures; it is an opportunity to put
personal responsibility and integrity into action. When students accept the implicit bond of
honor of an academic community, they liberate themselves to pursue their academic goals
in an atmosphere of mutual confidence and respect.
Student Behavior
The College has the responsibility and authority to establish standards for scholarship,
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
r\/iillsaps 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 com-
munity This will include such acts as obstruction or disruption of teaching, research, admin-
istration or other collegiate activities and unauthorized entry to or use of college facilities.
54
The College expects students to be concerned with the physical and psychological
well-being of others and cannot condone behavior which exploits another individual. Stu-
dents 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 regard-
ing 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 empha-
sis 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 be-
havior as members of the College Community. The College does not condone 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 accordance 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 alco-
holic beverages outside the confines of a student's room.
Fraternity and sorority facilities are subject to all applicable state laws and city ordi-
nances. The display, serving, consumption, or any other use of alcoholic beverages is pro-
hibited in public areas which include the lounges, porches, yards, grounds and other
external structures of such facilities.
Consumption of alcoholic beverages for those of age in a student's room in the resi-
dence hall or fraternity/sorority facilities must never result in irresponsible behavior or con-
tribute 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 pub-
lic area on the campus. This includes all public areas on the campus. Public areas are de-
fined 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 marijuana,
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 social pro-
bation, disciplinary probation, suspension or expulsion at the discretion of the Judicial Coun-
cil, the dean of student affairs or the president of the college dependent upon the original
jurisdiction. Cases involving a recommendation of suspension or expulsion are automati-
cally appealable to the president of the college.
Social Probation
Social probation is a warning to a student regarding conduct standards. Its primary pur-
pose is to serve as a period of time in which a student is asked to prove responsibility to him-
self/herself and the College.
When a student is placed on social probation he/she is prohibited from participating 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.
55
Disciplinary Probation
Disciplinary probation is the most serious penalty, short of suspension and expulsion,
that can be incurred by a student. During a period of disciplinary probation any further in-
fraction 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, parents
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 con-
tained 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 managerial and professional leadership to the larger society by
educating future leaders in business and public administration and in the accounting profes-
sion, 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 toward 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 professional behavior which are consistent with the
legitimate expectations of society; and to provide technical expertise required for entry-level
positions and leadership attributes necessary to attain positions in general management.
The Else School of Management has been awarded national professional accreditation
by the American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business.
Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA). Accounting and business administra
tion majors must complete additional requirements for the Bachelor of Business Administra-
tion degree (B.B.A.). Economics majors must complete additional requirements for either a
B.A., B.S. or B.L.S. degree. The requirements for a major in accounting or in business ad-
ministration are in addition to courses which may be used to satisfy the minimum 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.
100
At least 51 hours must be earned in courses offered by the Else School of Management
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 com-
pleted at least 52 semester hours.
Students pursuing the B.B.A. degree are encouraged to add depth in a non-business
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 statistics re-
quirement (Business Administration 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 1 8 hours of courses offered by the
Else School of Management to meet the requirement for the BBA degree and the major re-
gardless of the specific requirements satisfied by transfer hours. In some instances this may
mean repeating certain 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: Students interested in sitting for professional
examinations in accounting should consult their accounting advisor. Effective February 1 ,
1 995, candidates for the CPA exam in Mississippi must have a total of 1 50 college semester

Requirements for major in Business Administration: The requirements for the busi
ness administration major, in addition to the general requirements for the B.B.A. degree, are
very flexible and afford students the opportunity to take advanced electives which will pro-
vide a foundation to enter several professional fields.
