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.
NEW DORMITORY
' .Ml i
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.
29
OGLETHORPE COLLEGE 30
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

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
89
STUDENT ATHLETIC LEADERS
BASKETBALL IN ACTION
91 STUDENT LIFE
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.
ATHLETICS
In addition to a well-rounded program of intramural sports,
intercollegiate competition is carried on in soccer, basketball,
OGLETHORPE COLLEGE 92
tennis, baseball, and rifle and pistol shooting. Students with
athletic skills are invited and urged to participate in any of
these.
EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
Intramural Sports
New students are required to take at least two semesters of
physical education. In addition, a balanced and versatile pro-
gram of intramural sports operates the year round; spirited
competition among the students exists in touch football, ping-
pong, basketball, Softball and tennis.
The Interactivity Committee
A body set up to coordinate the activities of all the student
organizations on campus and to promote social events, the
Interactivity Committee is composed of representatives of all
the campus organizations; its chairman is the Vice President
of the Student Council. The following student organizations
presently exist on campus:

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.

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.
DEGREES WITH HONORS
Degrees with honors are awarded as follows: for a cumula-
tive average of 90 but less than 92, the degree cum laude; for
a cumulative average of 92 but less than 94, the degree magna
cum laude; for a cumulative average of 94 or more, the degree

students entering at this time, or later.
