THE  OGLETHORPE  IDEA 

The  Oglethorpe  idea  is  to  forge  the  strongest  possible  link 
between  the  "academic"  and  "practical,"  between  "human 
understanding"  and  "know-how,"  between  "culture"  and  "pro- 
ficiency," between  past  and  present.  We  are  persuaded  that 
there  is  ultimately  no  contradiction  between  the  concepts  rep- 
resented in  each  of  these  usually  divorced  pairs.  The  liberal 
arts  are  practical  arts;  the  cultured  have  no  quarrel  with  the 
truly  proficient;  human  understanding  is  not  in  a  realm  by 
itself  and  set  apart  from  genuine  know-how;  properly  under- 
stood the  past  can  instruct  the  present  and  future. 

Another  way  to  interpret  the  Oglethorpe  idea  is  to  under- 
stand what  is  common,  from  a  point  of  view  of  higher  educa- 
tion, to  the  student's  real  needs  and  interests.  There  can  be  no 
basic  disagreement  among  educators  and  laymen  about  these 
common  elements.  In  summary  they  are  to  learn  as  much  as 
possible  about  the  principles,  forces,  and  laws  influencing  or 
governing  Nature,  including  human  nature  and  human  asso- 
ciations; to  learn  to  take  account  of  these  not  only  for  their 
own  sake  but  for  growth,  guidance  and  direction  for  himself 
and  others;  to  express  his  deepest  individuality  in  the  work  or 
calling  most  appropriate  to  his  talents;  and  to  discover  his 
proper  place,  role,  and  function  in  the  complex  relationships 
of  modem  living. 

Perhaps  a  simpler  way  to  put  this  is  to  say  that  work  is  not 
an  escape  from  living;  living  should  not  be  an  escape  from 
work.  Education  should  therefore  encompass  the  twin  aims 
of  making  a  life  and  making  a  living.  But  there  is  more  to 
education  than  even  the  happiness  and  progress  of  the  indi- 
vidual. Inescapably  he  is  part  and  parcel  of  society.  He  fulfills 
himself  by  the  measure  in  which  he  contributes  to  the  happi- 
ness and  progress  of  his  fellows.  Education,  as  an  institution 
of  society,  has  a  social  obligation.  It  cannot  neglect  either  the 
individual  or  the  community  without  damage  to  both.  The 
social  order  at  its  best  is  best  for  the  individual;  the  individual 
at  his  best  is  best  for  society.  The  business  of  education  is  to 
strive  for  this  optimum. 

What  difference  should  an  education  make?  There  are  peo- 
ple, deficient  in  formal  schooling,  who  are  happy  and  useful. 

21 


OGLETHORPE  COLLEGE  22 

They  understand  and  get  along  well  with  their  neighbors.  They 
are  an  influence  for  good  in  their  community  and  earn  a  living 
by  honest  effort.  Any  truly  educated  man  displays  the  same 
traits.  The  difference  is  in  degree  rather  than  in  kind. 

Whereas  it  is  usual  for  people  to  understand  their  fellows, 
how  much  wider  should  be  the  sympathies  of  the  educated 
man!  His  contacts  go  beyond  the  living  and  embrace  the  seers 
of  all  the  ages,  who  as  his  companions  should  inform  his  mind 
and  enlarge  his  vision. 

With  the  onrush  of  the  Atomic  Age  the  social  order  becomes 
of  increasing  concern.  Democracy  is  the  great  unfinished  item 
of  business  on  the  agenda  of  civilization.  Prejudice,  ignorance, 
and  cynical  indifference  alike  are  dangers  to  a  democratic  so- 
ciety. Where  else  than  to  the  educated  man  should  we  look  for 
that  broad  intelligence  which  is  capable  of  the  long  view  that 
personal  advantage  is  irrevocably  bound  up  with  the  general 
good! 

Never  before  have  people  been  so  alive  to  the  necessity  of 
mastering  rather  than  being  mastered  by  the  economic  forces 
at  work  in  our  world.  Creative  brains  and  individual  initiative, 
tempered  by  a  strong  sense  of  social  responsibility,  are  the  only 
sources  of  payrolls  compatible  with  a  free  society,  an  improv- 
ing living  standard,  and  a  better  way  of  life.  Where  else  can  we 
look  for  this  creative  urge  than  to  adequate  education  of  quali- 
fied talent! 

We  make  no  claim  that  formal  education  inevitably  bestows 
these  benefits.  We  insist  that  it  can.  If  that  be  true,  how  may 
the  mark  be  reached?  We  shall  always  have  to  remind  ourselves 
as  teachers  that  education  is  a  difficult  art.  The  pitfalls  we 
would  shun  are  hard  to  escape.  Of  all  people,  the  teacher  must 
remain  the  most  teachable.  The  quest  for  wisdom  is  never- 
ending.  We,  too,  must  continually  grow  in  order  to  stimulate 
growth  in  those  who  come  to  us  to  learn.  We  shall  also  have 
to  remind  ourselves  that  subjects  are  merely  the  means;  the 
objects  of  instruction  are  the  persons  taught.  We  must  for- 
ever be  mindful  that  education,  in  order  to  be  true  to  itself, 
must  be  a  progressive  experience  for  the  learner,  in  which 
interest  gives  rise  to  inquiry,  inquiry  is  pursued  to  mastery, 
and  mastery  at  one  point  occasions  new  interests  at  others. 
The  cycle  is  never  closed,  but  is  a  spiral  which  always  returns 


23 


THE  OGLETHORPE  IDEA 


upon  itself  at  some  higher  level  of  insight.  Growth  in  every- 
thing which  is  human  must  remain  the  dominant  objective  for 
the  individual  and  for  society. 

We  therefore  stand  for  a  program  of  studies  which  makes 
sense  from  first  to  last,  which  hangs  together,  and  which  pro- 
motes this  desired  result.  Not  only  in  vocational  training  but 
also  in  the  education  of  human  personality,  the  materials  of 
instruction  must  have  a  beginning,  point  in  a  definite  direction, 
and  prepare  for  all  that  ensues.  We  necessarily  make  provision 
for  and  give  scope  to  diversified  talents  in  preparation  for 
careers  as  varied  as  commerce,  industry,  law,  medicine,  science, 
education,  literature,  the  fine  arts,  social  welfare,  and  govern- 
ment. But  this  much  we  all  have  in  common:  each  man  has  to 
live  with  himself  and  all  have  to  live  with  their  fellows.  Living 
in  community,  with  human  understanding,  involves  arts  in 
which  we  all  are  equally  concerned.

HISTORY  OF  OGLETHORPE  COLLEGE 

Oglethorpe's  history  dates  back  to  1835  when  a  group  of 
Georgia  Presbyterians,  influenced  by  the  example  of  Princeton 
University,  secured  a  charter  for  the  operation  of  a  church- 
supported  university  in  the  academic  pattern  of  the  nineteenth 
century.  Actual  operations  commenced  in  1838  at  Midway,  a 
small  community  near  Milledgeville,  at  that  time  the  capital 
of  the  state. 

For  nearly  three  decades  after  its  founding,  the  university 
steadily  grew  in  stature  and  influence.  Its  president  during 
most  of  that  time,  Samuel  K.  Talmage,  provided  gifted  leader- 
ship and,  at  the  same  time,  gathered  about  him  a  faculty  of 
unusual  ability,  at  least  two  of  whom  would  achieve  real  dis- 
tinction: James  Woodrow,  an  uncle  of  Woodrow  Wilson  and 
the  first  teacher  in  Georgia  to  hold  the  Ph.D.,  and  Joseph  Le- 
Conte,  destined  to  world  fame  for  his  work  in  the  field  of 
geology. 

Oglethorpe  alumni  went  forth  in  those  years  to  play  roles 
of  importance  in  various  fields.  Perhaps  the  best-known  of  her 
graduates  was  the  poet  Sidney  Lanier,  a  member  of  the  Class 
of  1860,  who  remarked  shortly  before  his  death  that  the  great- 
est intellectual  impulse  of  his  life  had  come  to  him  during  his 
college  days  at  Oglethorpe. 

But  the  life  and  service  of  the  school  were  suddenly  cut 
short  in  the  1860's  as  Oglethorpe  became  a  casualty  of  war. 
Her  students  marched  away  to  become  Confederate  soldiers; 
her  endowment  at  length  was  lost  in  Confederate  bonds;  her 
buildings  were  converted  to  military  use  as  a  barracks  and 
hospital.  In  a  sense,  her  fate  became  bound  up  with  that  of 
the  Lost  Cause. 

After  the  close  of  the  conflict  an  effort  was  made  to  revive 
the  institution,  first  at  Midway  and  then  by  re-location  in  At- 
lanta. However,  the  ravages  of  war,  together  with  the  disloca- 
tions of  Reconstruction,  posed  obstacles  too  great  to  overcome, 
and  in  1872  Oglethorpe  closed  its  doors  for  a  second,  and 
seemingly  final,  time. 

But  three  decades  later,  thanks  largely  to  the  determined 
energy  and  vision  of  Dr.  Thornwell  Jacobs,  the  school  was 

24 


25  HISTORY  OF  OGLETHORPE  COLLEGE 

revived,  chartered  in  1913,  and  moved  to  its  present  location 
on  the  northern  edge  of  metropolitan  Atlanta.  The  cornerstone 
of  the  first  building  was  laid  in  1 9 1 5  in  a  ceremony  witnessed 
by  members  of  the  classes  of  1860  and  1861;  symbolically, 
thus,  the  old  and  the  new  were  linked. 

From  then  until  his  resignation  in  1944,  President  Jacobs 
became  and  remained  the  guiding  spirit  of  the  endeavor.  He 
developed  a  number  of  ideas  and  enterprises  which  brought 
national,  and  even  international,  recognition  to  the  school. 
Most  notable  among  these  were  the  establishment  of  a  campus 
radio  station  as  early  as  1931,  and  the  completion  in  1940  of 
the  Crypt  of  Civilization  to  preserve  for  posterity  a  cross- 
section  of  twentieth-century  life. 

Still  a  new  era  opened  in  the  history  of  Oglethorpe  in  1944 
when  Dr.  Philip  Weltner  assumed  the  presidency  and,  with  a 
group  of  faculty  associates,  initiated  a  new  and  exciting  ap- 
proach to  undergraduate  education  called  the  "Oglethorpe 
Idea."  As  described  more  fully  in  the  preceding  section,  the 
new  departure  was  founded  on  the  conviction  that  education 
should  encompass  the  twin  aims  of  making  a  life  and  making 
a  living,  and  that  toward  these  ends  a  program  of  studies 
should  be  developed  which  made  sense  from  first  to  last  and 
which  meaningfully  hung  together. 

The  last  twenty  years  of  Oglethorpe's  history  have  revolved 
around  the  central  issue  of  finding  more  effective  means  of 
answering  the  challenge  posed  by  these  fundamental  purposes. 
At  the  same  time,  though  the  College  remains  sympathetic 
toward  all  religions  and  encourages  its  students  to  affiliate  with 
a  local  church  or  synagogue  of  their  own  choosing,  all  formal 
support  from  church  bodies  was  discontinued.  Today  Ogle- 
thorpe stands  as  a  wholly  private  and  non-sectarian  institution 
of  higher  learning. 

In  1965  began  still  another  chapter  in  the  history  of  the 
school.  As  part  of  its  steadfast  aim  to  become  "a  small  col- 
lege, superlatively  good,"  the  institution  formally  changed  its 
name  from  Oglethorpe  University  to  Oglethorpe  College — a 
change  more  precisely  reflecting  its  nature  as  well  as  its  pur- 
poses. In  addition,  it  adopted  a  reorganization  of  its  academic 
year  from  a  system  of  quarters  to  one  of  three  semesters, 
effective  with  the  fall  term  of  1965.  Under  the  new  trimester 


OGLETHORPE  COLLEGE  26 

system,  the  College  operates  year-round,  enabling  students  to 
graduate  in  less  than  three  calendar  years  if  they  choose  to 
do  so. 

The  College  has  also  developed  a  program  of  physical  ex- 
pansion to  keep  pace  with  its  academic  growth.  Construction 
of  new  dormitories  and  a  new  student  union  building  is  sched- 
uled for  the  spring  of  1966.  The  new  complex  is  designed 
not  only  to  add  additional  space  to  campus  facilities  but  also 
to  blend  architecturally  with  the  existing  pattern  of  buildings 
on  the  campus. 

To  all  of  this,  it  may  be  finally  added,  Oglethorpe  enjoys 
the  great  asset  of  location  in  Atlanta — one  of  the  great  met- 
ropolitan centers  of  the  South  and  one  of  the  most  rapidly 
developing  in  the  nation.  A  city  blending  the  graciousness  of 
the  Old  South  with  the  social  progress  of  the  New,  Atlanta  is 
a  key  center  of  transportation  for  the  entire  Southeast,  with 
excellent  service  by  air,  rail,  and  bus;  it  is  also  a  hub  of  the 
modem  highway  system  being  built  through  the  region.  With 
a  metropolitan  population  of  well  over  a  million,  an  ideal  lo- 
cation in  the  foothills  of  the  Blue  Ridge  Mountains,  and  a 
temperate  climate  throughout  the  year,  the  city  offers  many 
attractions  and  cultural  opportunities  to  the  Oglethorpe  un- 
dergraduate as  a  part  of  his  whole  development. 


GENERAL  INFORMATION 

THE  TRIMESTER  SYSTEM 

In  the  fall  of  1965  Oglethorpe  instituted  the  trimester  sys- 
tem under  which  the  academic  year  is  organized  into  three 
terms.  The  fall  semester  begins  in  early  October  and  ends  in 
late  January;  the  spring  semester  begins  in  early  February  and 
ends  in  early  June;  the  summer  term,  which  is  organized  some- 
what more  flexibly  to  meet  the  needs  of  old  and  new  Ogle- 
thorpe students  as  well  as  those  of  transient  and  transfer  stu- 
dents, begins  in  June  and  ends  in  September. 

THE  CURRICULUM 

Under  the  trimester  system,  Oglethorpe's  curriculum  has 
been  redesigned  so  that  all  the  courses  carry  a  credit  of  three 
or  four  semester  hours  each.  For  the  full-time  student,  the 
normal  academic  load  will  consist  of  five  courses  for  each  of 
the  eight  terms. 

Forty  courses  (or  their  equivalents  for  transfer  students) 
are  necessary  for  graduation.  Of  these,  twenty  specified  courses 
comprise  the  core  or  general-education  program  required  of 
all  students;  they  embrace  the  areas  of  English,  history,  for- 
eign languages,  humanities,  philosophy,  government,  eco- 
nomics, international  relations,  mathematics,  natural  sciences, 
and  behavioral  sciences.  The  remaining  courses  needed  to 
graduate  are  selected  by  the  student  and  the  advisor,  normally 
from  a  majors  program  and  fields  of  allied  interest. 

With  certain  variations  for  some  programs,  the  student  who 
enters  as  a  freshman  will  ordinarily  spend  his  first  four  semes- 
ters completing  the  core  program  and  then,  with  the  beginning 
of  his  junior  year,  the  last  four  completing  the  requirements 
for  the  majors  program  he  has  selected.  Presently,  majors  are 
offered  in  biology,  business  administration,  chemistry,  eco- 
nomics, education  (with  several  specializations  available  to 
education  majors),  English,  foreign  languages,  history,  math- 
ematics, physics,  political  studies,  pre-medicine  (and  also 
medical  technology),  psychology,  and  sociology. 

THE   EVENING   PROGRAM 

As  a  service  to  the  community,  Oglethorpe  operates  an 
evening  program  during  each  of  the  three  semesters.  A  con- 

27 


OGLETHORPE  COLLEGE  28 

siderable  number  of  the  regular  courses  of  the  College  are 
given  in  the  evening  school,  thereby  making  it  possible  for 
those  unable  to  attend  classes  in  the  daytime  to  work  toward 
a  college  degree.  Courses  offered  in  the  evening  are  taught  by 
either  regular  faculty  members  of  Oglethorpe  or  by  other 
qualified  instructors. 

In  the  fall  and  spring  semesters,  classes  in  the  evening 
program  meet  two  nights  a  week,  on  either  a  Monday- Wed- 
nesday arrangement  or  a  Tuesday-Thursday.  Three  class  peri- 
ods are  offered  each  night,  beginning  at  6:00  p.  m.  The 
meeting  arrangement  during  the  summer  term  is  somewhat 
different  because  the  term  itself  is  shorter  in  duration. 

Tuition  for  the  night  school  is  on  a  per-course  basis;  the 
charge  for  each  course  is  $110. 

Inquiries  concerning  the  evening  program  and  the  courses 
to  be  offered  in  any  given  term  should  be  addressed  to  the 
Registrar  of  Oglethorpe.

ADMISSION  TO  THE  COLLEGE 

APPLICATION   FOR  ADMISSION 

Throughout  its  history,  Oglethorpe  has  welcomed  students 
from  all  sections  of  this  country  as  well  as  from  abroad  as 
candidates  for  degrees.  It  is  the  policy  of  the  Admissions 
Committee  to  select  for  admission  to  the  College  those  appli- 
cants who  present  the  strongest  evidence  of  purpose,  maturity, 
scholastic  ability,  and  potential  for  the  caliber  of  college  work 
expected  at  Oglethorpe.  In  making  its  judgments,  the  Com- 
mittee considers  the  nature  of  the  student's  high  school  pro- 
gram, his  grades,  the  recommendations  of  his  counsellors  and 
teachers,  and  his  scores  on  aptitude  tests. 

The  candidate  for  admission  as  a  freshman  must  present  a 
satisfactory  high-school  program  which  includes  as  a  minimum 
four  units  in  English,  three  in  mathematics  and/ or  science, 
and  three  in  social  studies  (except  that  a  fourth  unit  in  math- 
ematics and/ or  science  may  be  substituted  for  one  in  social 
studies).  In  addition,  he  must  submit  satisfactory  scores  on 
the  Scholastic  Aptitude  Test  of  the  College  Entrance  Exami- 
nation Board.  (Scores  of  the  Florida  and  Iowa  State  Tests 
will  be  acceptable  if  the  applicant  has  taken  one  of  these  as 
a  result  of  statewide  policy;  also,  scores  of  the  American 
College  Testing  Program  may  be  used  by  those  unable  to 
present  scores  on  the  SAT. ) 

It  is  to  the  applicant's  advantage  to  take  the  Scholastic 
Aptitude  Test  as  early  as  possible  during  his  senior  year  in 
high  school.  Details  concerning  the  program  can  be  obtained 
from  high  school  counsellors,  or  by  writing  the  College  En- 
trance Examination  Board,  Box  592,  Princeton,  N.  J.  08540. 

The  Oglethorpe  application  form  contains  a  list  of  the  ma- 
terials which  must  be  submitted  by  the  applicant.  No  applica- 
tion can  be  considered  and  acted  upon  until  all  the  items 
indicated  have  been  received.  Applications  will  be  considered 
in  order  of  completion,  and  the  applicant  will  be  notified  of 
the  decision  of  the  Committee  on  Admissions  as  soon  as  action 
has  been  taken. 

Though  the  exact  date  will  vary  from  semester  to  semester, 
generally  the  deadline  by  which  admissions  will  be  closed 
will  be  one  week  prior  to  the  beginning  of  each  term.

ADVANCED   PLACEMENT  PROGRAM 

The  College  invites  and  urges  those  students  who  have  taken 
the  Advanced  Placement  examinations  of  the  College  Entrance 
Examination  Board  to  submit  their  scores  for  possible  con- 
sideration toward  college  credit.  The  general  policy  of  Ogle- 
thorpe toward  such  scores  is  the  following:  academic  credit  will 
be  given  in  the  appropriate  area  to  students  presenting  Ad- 
vanced Placement  grades  of  4  or  5 ;  exemption  but  not  credit 
will  be  given  in  the  appropriate  area  from  basic  courses  for 
students  presenting  a  grade  of  3 ;  neither  credit  nor  exemption 
will  be  given  for  grades  of  1  or  2;  maximum  credit  to  be 
allowed  to  any  student  for  Advanced  Placement  scores  will 
be    thirty  semester  hours. 

TRANSFER  STUDENTS 

Applicants  for  transfer  from  other  recognized  institutions  of 
higher  learning  are  welcomed  at  Oglethorpe,  provided  that 
they  are  in  good  standing  at  the  institution  last  attended.  They 
are  expected  to  follow  regular  admissions  procedures  and 
will  be  notified  of  the  decision  of  the  Admissions  Committee 
in  the  regular  way. 

SPECIAL  AND  TRANSIENT  STUDENTS 

In  addition  to  regular  students,  a  limited  number  of  special 
and  transient  students  will  be  accepted. 

Special  students  are  defined  by  the  College  as  those  not 
working  toward  an  Oglethorpe  degree;  they  are  limited  to  a 
maximum  of  five  semester  courses,  after  which  they  must  apply 
for  a  change  of  status  to  that  of  regular  student  or  be  re- 
quested to  withdraw  from  the  College. 

Transient  students^may  take  a  maximum  of  two  semesters 
of  work  here,  provided  that  they  secure  a  letter  from  the  dean 
of  their  original  institution  certifying  that  they  are  in  good 
standing  there  and  that  the  original  institution  will  accept  for 
transfer  credit  the  academic  work  done  by  the  student  at 
Oglehorpe.

PRE-DENTAL  AND   PRE-MEDICAL 

Prospective  medical  students  should  consult  a  pre-medical  advisor 
in  planning  their  curriculum.  They  should  acquaint  themselves 
early  with  entrance  requirements  for  medical  schools  by  consulting 
the  Association  of  American  Medical  Colleges  handbook  on  ad- 
mission requirements. 

The  minimum  requirements  are:  General  Chemistry,  Organic 
Chemistry,  General  Biology,  Physics,  and  two  semester  courses 
in  English  literature.  Most  medical  schools  require  an  understand- 
ing of  mathematics  at  the  college  level  and  many  a  reading  knowl- 
edge of  a  modern  foreign  language.  In  addition  to  those  minimum 
requirements,  some  medical  schools  require,  and  others  recom- 
mend, additional  courses  in  science. 

Pre-dental  or  pre-medical  students  have  several  programs  open 
to  them.  They  may  decide  to  concentrate  in  a  science  such  as  biol- 
ogy or  chemistry.  It  is  not  necessary,  however,  that  they  major 
in  a  science.  They  may  just  as  advantageously  choose  to  concen- 
trate in  one  of  the  humanities  or  other  fields,  carrying  the  neces- 
sary science  as  electives.  Two  important  factors  must  be  con- 
sidered: the  increasing  importance  of  science  in  medicine  and  the 
growing  need  in  medicine  for  men  with  breadth  of  outlook  and 
understanding.  In  any  case,  the  student  must  achieve  a  good  rec- 
ord in  his  scientific  studies,  whether  or  not  he  has  chosen  some 
field  of  science  as  his  major.  In  general,  good  academic  perform- 
ance and  strong  recommendations  help  assure  admission  and  suc- 
cess in  medical  school.

STUDENT  LIFE 

ORIENTATION 

At  the  beginning  of  each  semester  new  students  will  be  in- 
volved in  an  orientation  program,  under  the  general  supervi- 
sion of  the  Student  Government.  Orientation  activities  are 
planned  toward  the  end  of  introducing  the  student  to  both 
academic  and  social  life  at  Oglethorpe,  thereby  enabling  him 
to  feel  at  home  as  soon  as  possible.  Orientation  group  leaders 
from  among  the  upperclassmen  serve  as  guides  and  counsel- 
lors during  the  period.  Following  orientation,  the  student  is 
then  assigned  to  a  faculty  advisor  who  aids  him  in  planning  his 
academic  program  and  who  seeks  to  assist  him  in  other  ways, 

STUDENT  DISCIPLINE 

Oglethorpe  College  believes  its  students  to  be  responsible 
young  men  and  women  and  so  holds  restrictions  to  the  mini- 
mum necessary  to  promote  self-discipline  and  sound  learning. 
Our  students  are  justly  proud  of  the  tradition  of  freedom 
which  characterizes  their  undergraduate  life. 

Nevertheless,  at  Oglethorpe  College  there  are  certain  prac- 
tices regarding  personal  appearance  and  deportment  to  which 
our  students  must  adhere  and  which  are  essentials  of  life  in 
our  College  community. 

We  have  a  long  tradition  and  practice  of  pride  in  personal 
appearance.  There  are  few  rules,  but  our  standards  are  high. 
It  is  expected  that  Oglethorpe  students  will  be  dressed  neatly 
and  appropriately  to  the  particular  occasion  at  all  times.  We 
welcome  only  students  who  honor  our  tradition  and  practice. 
The  College  will  assume  that  those  who  fail  to  do  so  are  not 
interested  in  being  members  of  the  Oglethorpe  community. 

In  deportment,  Oglethorpe  expects  students  to  understand 
that  obedience  to  law  and  dignified  moderation  are  required. 
Deviation  from  this  standard,  or  any  action  by  a  student  which 
brings  discredit  to  himself  and  disrepute  to  the  College,  will 
be  subject  to  stem  disciplinary  action,  which  may  include 
suspension  or  dismissal  of  the  student  from  the  College. 

STUDENT  GOVERNMENT 

Undergraduate  life  at  Oglethorpe  is,  in  a  large  sense,  one 
of  a  democratic  community;  student  government  is  mainly

self-government.  The  Student  Government,  consisting  of  offi- 
cers elected  by  the  student  body  and  the  presidents  of  the  four 
classes,  is  the  guiding  and  governing  organization  of  student 
life  at  the  College.  Its  main  purpose  is  to  serve  the  individual 
student.  The  time  and  place  of  Student  Government  meetings 
are  posted  at  regular  intervals;  all  students  are  welcome  to  at- 
tend and  to  participate  in  the  affairs  of  the  student  government. 

At  Oglethorpe  the  Honor  System  is  an  integral  part  of  col- 
lege life.  Students  are  on  their  honor  to  respect  the  regula- 
tions of  the  College  and  to  abide  by  the  provisions  of  the 
Honor  Code.  The  Honor  System  is  supervised  by  a  student 
Honor  Council,  acting  with  the  counsel  of  a  faculty  advisor. 

STUDENT  HOUSING 

All  unmarried,  regular  students  who  do  not  live  with  their 
parents  are  required  to  live  in  College  housing  facilities. 
Students  wishing  an  exception  granted  to  this  regulation  must 
submit  a  request  in  writing  to  the  Academic  Dean  prior  to  the 
semester  involved.  Students  under  twenty-one  years  of  age 
must  include  a  letter  from  their  parents  giving  their  permission 
for  the  student  to  live  outside  the  campus  facilities. 

All  dormitory  students  are  required  to  purchase  a  meal 
ticket  for  use  in  the  school  cafeteria.  Meals  are  served  three 
times  a  day,  seven  days  a  week. 

STUDENT  HEALTH   SERVICES 

The  College  maintains  a  campus  infirmary,  staffed  by  a 
registered  nurse.  In  addition,  it  provides  the  services  of  a 
physician  who  visits  the  infirmary  on  a  regular  schedule.  Ogle- 
thorpe also  has  working  relations  with  a  number  of  hospitals 
in  the  Atlanta  area  in  the  event  that  major  medical  care  is 
required.  As  explained  under  the  section  on  "Fees  and  Costs," 
resident  students  are  required  to  subscribe  to  the  accident  and 
insurance  plan  of  the  College;  day  students  may  do  so  if  they 
wish.

STUDENT  PUBLICATIONS 

The  Stormy  Petrel:  This  is  the  official  newspaper  of  Ogle- 
thorpe College.  An  important  part  of  campus  life,  it  is 
dedicated  to  serving  the  best  interests  of  the  student  body. 

Prospect:  This  is  the  literary  magazine  of  the  College,  pub- 
lished semi-annually  by  a  student  staff.  Its  purpose  is  to 
give  students  and  alumni  an  opportunity  to  display  their 
literary  and  artistic  talents  in  the  fields  of  poetry,  short- 
story  writing,  essay-writing,  and  the  graphic  arts. 

The  Yamacraw:  This  is  the  yearbook  of  the  College.  All  stu- 
dents, especially  those  with  literary  or  journalistic  ex- 
perience, are  encouraged  to  join  the  staff. 


OGLETHORPE  COLLEGE  96 

The  "O"  Book:  This  is  the  student  handbook  prepared  an- 
nually by  the  Student  Council  of  Oglethorpe  as  a  service 
to  new  students.  It  contains  a  great  variety  of  helpful  in- 
formation designed  to  acquaint  the  student  with  all  signifi- 
cant phases  of  college  life  at  Oglethorpe. 

FINE  ARTS  FESTIVAL 

Oglethorpe's  Fine  Arts  Series  brings  to  the  campus  a  varied 
and  balanced  program  which  stresses  human  enjoyment  of 
artistic  excellence.  This  variety  includes  music,  drama,  litera- 
ture, the  film,  and  the  dance,  as  well  as  the  graphic  arts.  The 
programs  are  designed  to  acquaint  the  student  with  the  range 
of  the  arts  as  well  as  with  the  individual  forms.  The  movies, 
for  example,  are  chosen  from  among  those  film  classics  which 
are  not  currently  available  in  the  commercial  theatre,  and  they 
reveal  not  only  the  high  points  of  the  film  art  but  also  its  range 
and  variety.  In  dance,  music,  and  literature,  the  program 
brings  to  the  campus  individuals  and  groups  chosen  from 
outstanding  living  artists.  There  is  no  admission  charge  to  any 
of  these  programs. 

In  addition  to  the  Fine  Arts  Series  itself,  the  Faculty  and 
Student  Fine  Arts  Committee  offers  $250  in  prizes  to  en- 
courage the  student  himself  to  explore  the  arts  and  to  reward 
student  achievement  in  this  area.  For  music,  $100  in  cash 
prizes  is  given  annually;  for  poetry,  $50;  for  short  fiction,  $50; 
and  for  painting,  $50.  The  prize  poems  and  short  stories,  and 
when  possible  prize  paintings,  are  published  in  Prospect,  the 
Oglethorpe  literary  magazine.

students.  Among  them  are  the  following.

PLACEMENT  SERVICE 

The  College  maintains  a  Placement  Office  to  provide  help 
to  students  in  securing  jobs  during  their  college  career.  Be- 
cause of  Oglethorpe's  location  in  the  suburbs  of  the  second 
fastest-growing  city  in  America,  students  can  easily  obtain 
part-time  work.  There  are  also  some  opportunities  on  campus 
for  employment  in  various  jobs.  Another  function  of  this 
office  is  to  aid  our  students  in  getting  positions  upon  gradu- 
ation. A  register  is  kept  of  firms  seeking  our  graduates,  and 
every  effort  is  made  by  the  College  to  place  students  in  areas 
and  firms  of  their  preference. 

ALUMNI 

When  a  student  terminates  his  study  after  a  minimum  at- 
tendance of  one  semester,  he  is  considered  an  alumnus  of  the 
College.  As  such,  he  and  his  fellow  alumni  comprise  what 
is  known  as  the  National  Alumni  Association  of  Oglethorpe 
College. 

The  objectives  of  this  organization  are  to  promote  the 
interests  of  the  College  and  to  establish  mutually  beneficial 
relations  between  it  and  its  alumni. 

The  College  maintains  an  alumni  office  to  serve  and  to  keep 
contact  with  all  of  its  alumni  throughout  the  country  and  the 


99  STUDENT  LIFE 

world.  This  office  sends  a  monthly  bulletin  of  affairs  to 
all  alumni.  Additionally,  it  keeps  records  and  addresses  of 
alumni;  organizes  special  alumni  events;  arranges  the  annual 
Alumni  Day;  and  performs  many  other  services  which  help 
to  provide  a  liaison  between  the  alumni  and  the  College. 


ACADEMIC  REGULATIONS 

cuss  ATTENDANCE 

The  College  recognizes  attendance  at  classes  as  the  respon- 
sibility of  the  student.  Students  are  held  accountable  for  all 
work  missed.  The  exact  nature  of  absence  regulations  is  de- 
termined by  each  instructor  for  his  own  courses. 

GRADES* 

At  Oglethorpe  a  numerical  system  of  grading  is  used.  The 
range  of  70-100  represents  passing  work;  any  grade  below  70 
is  regarded  as  a  failure  (though  in  most  instances  students 
who  receive  between  60  and  69  in  the  first  course  of  a  two- 
course  sequence  are  allowed  to  continue  in  the  second  course 
of  the  sequence).  Students  withdrawing  from  a  course  before 
the  end  of  the  semester  are  given  a  "W"  or  a  "WF",  depending 
upon  the  circumstances  of  the  withdrawal.  Students  who  do 
not  meet  all  the  requirements  of  a  given  course  are  given  an 
"I"  for  incomplete  at  the  end  of  the  semester;  if  the  require- 
ments are  met  during  the  following  semester,  the  "I"  is  re- 
placed by  a  regular  grade;  if  they  are  not  met  within  this  time, 
the  grade  automatically  becomes  an  "F". 

MINIMUM  ACADEMIC  AVERAGE 

Though  the  grade  of  70  is  regarded  as  passing,  the  College 
believes  that  students,  in  order  to  graduate,  must  exhibit  more 
ability  than  that  required  by  the  lowest  passing  mark.  There- 
fore, a  student,  in  order  to  graduate  from  Oglethorpe,  must 
compile  an  over-all  minimum  average  of  78.  No  student  will 
be  allowed  to  graduate  unless  this  minimum  is  met. 

For  the  student's  own  welfare,  a  graduated  system  of  mini- 
mum averages  has  been  established.  Freshmen  are  required  to 
maintain  a  cumulative  average  of  at  least  76  in  their  course 
work;  sophomores  of  at  least  77;  and  juniors  and  seniors  of 
at  least  78. 

GRADUATION   REQUIREMENTS 

Minimum  requirements  for  graduation  consist  of  the  fol- 
lowing: forty  semester  courses  (or  their  equivalent  for  transfer 

100 


101  ACADEMIC  REGULATIONS 

Students)  totaling  at  least  122  hours;  a  cumulative  grade 
average  of  at  least  78;  at  least  two  semesters  of  physical  edu- 
cation (unless  exempted  by  the  Academic  Dean);  and  the 
last  four  semesters  to  be  spent  as  a  registered  student  at 
Oglethorpe. 

DEGREES 

Oglethorpe  offers  three  degrees  to  those  meeting  the  neces- 
sary requirements:  Bachelor  of  Arts,  Bachelor  of  Science,  and 
Bachelor  of  Science  in  Medical  Technology.  Under  the  Bache- 
lor of  Arts,  majors  programs  are  offered  in  the  following  areas: 
Business  Administration,  Economics,  Elementary  Education, 
Secondary  Education  (with  concentrations  available  in  Eng- 
lish, French,  Mathematics,  Science,  and  Social  Studies),  Eng- 
lish, French,  History,  Philosophy,  PoHtical  Studies,  Psychol- 
ogy, and  Sociology. 

Under  the  Bachelor  of  Science,  majors  programs  are  offered 
in  the  following  areas:  Biology,  Chemistry,  Mathematics,  and 
Physics. 

Under  certain  conditions,  it  is  also  possible  for  a  student  to 
receive  a  degree  from  Oglethorpe  under  "professional  option." 
Through  this  arrangement  and  in  accord  with  regulations  of 
the  College,  the  student  may  transfer  to  a  recognized  profes- 
sional institution — such  as  law  school,  dental  school,  or  med- 
ical school — at  the  end  of  his  junior  year  and  then,  after  one 
year  in  the  professional  school,  receive  his  degree  from  Ogle- 
thorpe. Students  interested  in  this  possibility  should  consult 
closely  with  their  advisors  to  make  certain  that  all  conditions 
are  met. 

PROBATION  AND   DISMISSAL 

Freshmen  who  fail  to  maintain  a  cumulative  average  of  at 
least  76,  sophomores  of  at  least  77,  and  juniors  and  seniors  of 
at  least  78  are  placed  on  probation  for  the  following  term.  If 
during  that  term  they  do  not  substantially  improve  their 
scholastic  average,  they  will  be  dismissed  from  the  College. 

First  trimester  freshmen  receiving  grades  of  less  than  70  in 
all  subjects  will  be  dismissed,  as  will  students  in  the  sopho- 
more, junior,  and  senior  classes  who  fail  to  maintain  at  least 
a  70  cumulative  average. 


OGLETHORPE  COLLEGE  102 

NORMAL  ACADEMIC  LOAD 

A  normal  academic  program  at  Oglethorpe  consists  of  five 
courses  each  semester,  giving  the  student  generally  a  total  of 
fifteen  to  seventeen  semester  hours  each  term.  Regular  students 
in  the  day  classes  are  expected  to  carry  a  normal  load  and  to 
pay  for  a  full  schedule  of  courses,  unless  allowed  by  their 
advisor  to  carry  less  and  authorized  by  the  Academic  Dean 
to  pay  for  a  reduced  load. 

THE   DEAN'S  LIST 

Students  who  earn  a  minimum  average  of  91  or  better  in 
any  given  semester  for  a  normal  load  of  at  least  five  courses 
are  given  the  distinction  of  being  placed  on  the  Dean's  List.

tive average  of  90  but  less  than  92,  the  degree  cum  laude;  for

cum  laude;  for  a  cumulative  average  of  94  or  more,  the  degree 
summa  cum  laude.

istic elements  of  the  culture  of  the  Indians  which  are 
distinct  in  the  modem  era,  with  special  emphasis  on 
persistent  social  problems  raised  by  economic  develop- 
ment, social  change,  and  political  conflict.  The  ap- 
proach will  be  comparative,  designed  to  identify  both 
the  contrasts  and  similarities  to  Western  culture.  It  will 
also  be  analytic,  focusing  on  problems  and  trends 
rather  than  upon  chronology.
