THE PRAYER OF OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY
Father of Wisdom, Master of the Schools of Men, of
Thine all-knowledge grant me this my Prayer: that i
may be wise in thee. sink thou my foundations down
deep into thy bosom until they rest upon the vast rock
of Thy counsel. Lift Thou my walls into the clear em-
pyrean of Thy Truth. Cover me with the wings that
shadow from all harm. Lay my threshold in honor and
my lintels in love. Set Thou my floors in the cement
of unbreakable friendship and may my windows be trans-
parent with honesty . lead thou unto me, lord god,
those whom thou hast appointed to be my children, and
when they shall come who would learn of me the wis-
dom of the years, let the crimson of my windows glow
WITH THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. LET THEM SEE, O MY LORD,
Him Whom Thou hast shown me; let them hear Him
Whose voice Has whispered to me and let them reach
out their hands and touch him who has gently led me
unto this good day. rock-ribbed may i stand for thy
Truth. Let the storms of evil beat about me in vain.
May i safely shelter those who come unto me from the
winds of Error. Let the lightning that lies in the
cloud of ignorance break upon my head in despair. May
the young and the pure and the clean-hearted put their
trust securely in me nor may any that ever come to my
halls for guidance be sent astray. let the blue ashlars
of my breast thrill to the happy songs of the true-
hearted and may the very heart of my campus shout for
joy as it feels the tread of those who march for god.
All this I Pray Thee; and yet this, more: That there
MAY BE NO STAIN UPON MY STONES, FOREVER. AMEN.

THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNIVERSITY*
BOARD OF FOUNDERS
The details of the management of Oglethorpe Uni-
versity are handled by an Executive Committee of
twenty-one men. The property is legally kept in trust
by a Board of Trustees of seven men. The General
Board of Directors meets at least once each year, at
commencement time, on the university campus near
Atlanta, to inspect the institution, to review all mat-
ters of large importance in the University, and to
give directions to the Executive Committee which is
elected by them and from their number, and which at-
tends to the details of management of the Institution
between the meetings of the Board of Directors. Each
member of the Board represents a gift of two thou-
sand dollars or more to the University, or an annual
gift of not less than $100.00.
Thus there is no one associated with the ownership
or control of the institution in an important capacity
who is not making a personal sacrifice in its behalf.
In many cases they represent groups, societies,
churches or families who combined their gifts in the
founding of the University.
Prospective students will not fail to note the quality
of these men, representing the thousands of men and
women whose sacrifices and prayers have consum-
mated this fine purpose. As representatives and gov-
ernors of the Institution they will take pleasure in
giving any inquirers information as to the aims and
progress of the University.
The list on the Mowing pages is corrected to March 1, 1928.

16 Oglethorpe University
HISTORICAL SKETCH
The historical genesis of Oglethorpe University
takes us back to the middle of the eighteenth century
when, under the leadership of Presbyterian men,
Princeton College was founded in New Jersey and rap-
idly became the institution largely patronized by the
young men from Presbyterian families all over the
world. After a while the long distances which must
be traveled by stage or on horseback, suggested the
building of a similar institution under the auspices of
Presbyterianism in the South. The movement began
with the Spring meeting of Hopewell Presbytery in
the year 1823, and eventuated in the founding of a
manual training school, and this, in turn, became
Oglethorpe College in 1835 when Midway Hill, in the
suburbs of Milledgeville, then the capital of the State
of Georgia, was chosen for the location of the Institu-
tion. Old Oglethorpe College was thus the first de-
nominational college or university between the Atlan-
tic and Pacific Oceans south of the Virginia line, and,
of a right, claimed to be the Alma Mater of all that
brilliant company of institutions which were born
after her in this vast empire.
The facilities of the old Oglethorpe were adequate
for the time. The main building was probably the
handsomest college structure in the Southeast when
it was erected, and "contained the finest college chapel
in the United States not excepting Yale, Harvard or
Princeton."
In the Faculty of the Institution may be found the
names of men who are world-famous. Among these
were Joseph Le Conte, the great geologist; James
Woodrow, the brilliant and devoted Christian and
Oglethorpe University 17
scientist; Samuel K. Talmadge, the eminent adminis-
trator, and many others. It is, perhaps, the chief
glory of Old Oglethorpe that after three years of in-
struction she graduated Sidney Lanier in the famous
class of 1860 and that he was a tutor to her sons un-
til the spring of '61 when with the Oglethorpe cadets
he marched away to the wars. Shortly before his
death, Lanier, looking back over his career, remarked
to a friend that the greatest intellectual impulse of his
life had come to him during his college days at Ogle-
thorpe through the influence of Dr. Woodrow. Her
other eminent alumni include governors, justices,
moderators of the General Assembly, discoverers, in-
ventors and a host of honest, industrious and superb
laborers for the highest ideals of humanity.
Oglethorpe "died at Gettysburg," for during the
war her sons were soldiers, her endowment was in
Confederate bonds, and her buildings, used as bar-
racks and hospital, were later burned. An effort was
made to revive the institution in the 70's and to lo-
cate it in Atlanta, but the evils of reconstruction days
and financial disaster made the adventure impossible
and unsuccessful, and after a year and a half of strug-
gle the doors were closed for the second time.
Only sixteen years have passed since the present
movement to refound the university began and they
have been years of financial disaster and utter tur-
moil, yet the assets and subscription pledges of the in-
stitution have passed the sum of one and a half mil-
lion dollars as the result of unusual and self-sacrific-
ing liberality on the part of over five thousand peo-
ple.
The corner stone of Oglethorpe University was laid
on January 21, 1915, with her trustful motto engrav-
18 Oglethorpe University
ed upon it: "Manu Dei Resurrexit" (By the Hand
of God She Has Risen from the Dead.)
THE OPENING, SEPTEMBER 20, 1916
Oglethorpe University opened her doors in the Fall
of 1916. After fifty years of rest beneath the gray
ashes of fratricidal strife she rose to breathe the airs
of a new day. Her first building, constructed of gran-
ite, trimmed with limestone, covered with slate and as
near fireproof as human skill can make it, was ready
for occupancy in the fall of 1916, when her first class
gathered on her beautiful campus on Peachtree Road.
A faculty equal to that of any cognate institution in
the country has been formed. The work of raising
funds and new construction goes steadily on. And all
of this has been done in the midst of financial disas-
ter that darkened the spirit of the whole nation, and
against the evil influences of a colossal war, which
caused the very joints of the world to gape.
THE ROMANCE OF HER RESURRECTION
The story of the resurrection of Oglethorpe reads
like a romance. Beginning only fifteen years ago
with a contribution of $100.00 a year for ten years, it
soon gathered with it a band of great-hearted Atlanta
men who determined to see that their city had a uni-
versity, as well as a band of far-seeing educational
leaders, who wished to erect a certain high type of
institution in this splendid metropolis. The story of
how dollar was added to dollar during a campaign of
four years ; of how no less than seventy Atlanta men
gave each $1,000.00 or more to the enterprise ; of how
the story has been told in cities, towns and country
all over the South from Galveston, Tex., to Char-
lottesville, Virginia, and from Marshall, Missouri, to
Bradentown, Florida; the splendid triumph of the At-
Oglethorpe University 19
lanta campaigns; all this is well known. Since that
time the same wonderful record has been maintained.
There are now something like five thousand men, wo-
men and children all of whom have contributed or
promised from fifty cents to $400,000.00. They are
the Founders' Club which is carrying the movement
forward so splendidly.
HER ARCHITECTURAL BEAUTY
An idea of the quality of construction and design of
the institution may be gained from the accompanying
illustrations. (See Frontispiece.)
It will be seen that the architects and landscape
artist spared no pains to make it one of the really
beautiful universities of America. The architecture
is Collegiate Gothic; the building material is a beau-
tiful blue granite trimmed with limestone. All the
buildings will be covered with heavy variegated
slates. The interior construction is of steel, concrete,
brick and hollow tile. The first building is the one on
the right of the entrance seen in the foreground of
the bird's eye view. The building, given by Dr. and
Mrs. Lupton and their son, our beloved benefactors,
is the one with the tower just opposite on the left of
the entrance. Lowry Hall stands completed at the
end of the main axis directly in front of the entrance.
The total cost of construction of the buildings shown
in the above design with the landscape work required,
will be approximately $3,000,000. The building plan
will be followed out in its entirety.
HER SPIRITUAL AND INTELLECTUAL IDEALS
But it is not so much the magnificent exterior of
the institution about which the men who are founding
20 Oglethorpe University
Oglethorpe are most concerned, it is the spiritual and
intellectual life of their university. To that end they
have resolved to maintain a faculty and a curricu-
lum that will be of the highest possible quality, their
thought being excellence in every department. They
will take the superb traditions of the old Oglethorpe
and add the best of this present age to them. Doubt-
less Oglethorpe will be a big university some day,
but she is already a great one, and it is greatness
rather than bigness which her founders crave most
for her.
FOUNDERS' BOOK
In the Founders' Room at Oglethorpe there will be
a Book containing the name of every man, woman and
child who aided in the founding of the University,
arranged alphabetically, by states. That Book will
be accessible to every student and visitor who may
want to know who it was from his or her home that
took part in the doing of this, the greatest deed that
has been attempted for our sons and daughters in
this generation. The Book is not yet complete, be-
cause the work is not yet finished, and each month is
adding many to this roll of honor, whose names will
thus be preserved in the life and archives of Ogle-
thorpe University forever.
CLOCK AND CHIMES
In the tower of the new building given by Dr. and
Mrs. J. T. Lupton, is installed a clock and chimes,
with two dials and night illumination, the gift of
Mrs. H. Frederick Lesh, of Newton Center, Mass. It
is interesting to note that this is the only tower clock
in Atlanta and the only chimes on any college campus
in Georgia. On the largest of the bells, which weighs
Oglethorpe University 21
a ton, is the following inscription.
We were given by-
Grace Josephine Lesh
That the hours at Oglethorpe
Might be filled with
Music and Harmony.
THE FACULTY OF THE UNIVERSITY
The Board of Directors of Oglethorpe University,
realizing the responsibility upon them of selecting a
faculty whose spiritual and intellectual equipment
should be capable of satisfying the tremendous de-
mand of a really great institution of learning, has
spared no effort or pains in securing a body of men
who would not only possess that first requisite of a
teacher, a great soul, but should also have those two
other requisites of almost equal importance: power
of imparting their ideals and knowledge, and intellec-
tual acquirements adequate for their department.
The most important element in education is the creat-
ing in the student of an intense yearning for and de-
light in the Good, the True and the Beautiful, and
the first essential for the creation of such a spirit is
the example set before him by the Faculty. The ob-
ject of an Oglethorpe education is to furnish the stu-
dent with deeper thoughts, finer emotions and nobler
purposes to the end that he may more clearly under-
stand, more fully enjoy and more excellently behave
in the world. The University now has a corps of
teachers unsurpassed in any institution of its size
and age. The names are given in the order of their
election.

as is also The Petrel, the college paper.
THE WESTMINSTER MAGAZINE is a quarterly
publication designed to convey to the friends of the
institution, something of the literary life of their uni-
versity. It is under the editorial care of the presi-
dent and Dr. James Routh.
Oglethorpe has held intercollegiate debates with
Mercer University, Auburn Polytechnic, the Univer-
sity of the South at Sewanee, Emory University and
Georgia School of Technology with eminent success.
IMMEDIATE PURPOSE AND SCOPE
The purpose of Oglethorpe University is to offer
courses of study leading to the higher academic and
professional degrees, under a Christian environment,
and thus to train young men who wish to become spe-
cialists in professional and business life and teach-
ers in our High Schools and Colleges, and to supply
the growing demand for specially equipped men in
every department of human activity.
Students who are looking forward to university
work are invited to correspond with the President, in
order that they may be putting themselves in line for
the advanced courses which are to be offered.
Adequate Library and Laboratory facilities are be-
ing provided as the need for them arises. Free use
will be made of the city of Atlanta, in itself a remark-
able laboratory of industrial and scientific life, whose
museums, libraries and municipal plants are at the
32 Oglethorpe University
disposal of our students for observation, inspection
and investigation.
A glance at the frontispiece of the catalogue, show-
ing Bird's Eye View of the University, gives the stu-
dent an idea of the quality of the buildings and the
lay out of the campus. This campus consists of ap-
proximately one hundred and seventy-five acres of
land, not including an eighty acre lake which adjoins
the northwestern corner of the campus. It is located on
Peachtree Road, and immediately in front of the en-
trance is the terminus of the Oglethorpe University
street car line, and an attractive little stone station of
the Southern Railway main line between Atlanta and
Washington. The first building to be located on the
campus, the Administration Building, contains the
dining room in the basement, chemistry and physics
lecture rooms and laboratories and the Bursar's of-
fice and private apartments for young women attend-
ing the college on the ground floor; the hospital and
dormitories on the second and third floors. Lupton
Hall consists of three separate structures which, com-
bined, contain the library, President's office, class
rooms, dormitories, Assembly Hall seating approxi-
mately six hundred, equipped also as a school theatre
for the presentation of student dramas, and in the
basement basketball court, swimming pool, lockers and
showers and quarters for the University Press. This
latter is equipped with a Babcock optimus press, lino-
type machine and a couple of smaller presses with a
number of type stands and other printing equipment
given by a warm friend of the college. Lowry Hall
houses the Lowry School of Banking and Commerce
and is now ready for occupancy. It is largely a replica
of old Corpus Christi College, Oxford, the alma mater
of James Edward Oglethorpe. It contains class rooms
Oglethorpb University 33
and dormitories and will stand as a perpetual mem-
orial to the generosity of Colonel R. J. Lowry and Em-
ma Markham Lowry.

ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS
In the Schools of Liberal Arts, Science, Business
Administration, Literature and Journalism,
And Education
The requirement for entrance to the Academic
Schools of Oglethorpe University is either a certifi-
cate of qualification from an accredited High School,
or an examination on the equivalent preparation. The
candidates must present at least three units in Eng-
lish and three units in mathematics. In the School
of Liberal Arts, three units of Latin must also be of-
fered; in the School of Science two years of language
work are required. A unit represents a year's study
in any subject in a secondary school, constituting ap-
proximately a quarter of a full year's work.
The authorities of Oglethorpe University are fully
acquainted with the educational situation in the
South and have not lost sight of the frequent insuf-
ficiencies of preparation of prospective students
brought about by inadequate high school facilities. It
is the purpose of the University to make its degrees
represent high attainment, but to furnish such facil-
ities for students that this attainment will be fairly
simple and easy. It is not our purpose by the adop-
tion of specially high entrance requirements to drive
away any students from our institution. Adequate
arrangements will be made for aiding any student
who may be behind in his preparation in so far as
such aid is consistent with the collegiate require-
ments.

The President of the University will gladly answer
any inquiries as to further details of entrance re-
quirements, upon request. An application blank will
be found at the close of the catalogue. It is well for
the prospective student to apply as early as possible.
A blank for High School Certificate may be obtained
by writing to the Registrar.
Students who wish credit for college work done
elsewhere must file with the Registrar a certificate
from the institution in which the work was done. The
institution must be one that is recognized by the
Faculty of Oglethorpe University, and the work must
be satisfactory to the professor of that department.
SPECIAL STUDENTS
Students over twenty years of age may be admit-
ted for special study upon satisfying the Faculty as
to their ability to do the work of the classes which
they wish to enter. Such students may become reg-
ular only by absolving all entrance requirements.
COURSES OF INSTRUCTION AND REQUIRE-
MENTS FOR DEGREES
In the session of 1928-29 Oglethorpe University will
offer courses in the undergraduate Classes of five
schools leading to the customary academic degrees.
The degree of Bachelor of Arts (B. A.) in the Classics
will be conferred upon those students satisfactorily
completing a four years' course as outlined below,
based largely on the study of the "Humanities." The
degree of Bachelor of Arts in Science will be conferred
upon those students who satisfactorily complete a
four years' course largely in scientific studies. The
degree of Bachelor of Arts in Literature will be given
to those students who complete a course including
Oglethorpe University 37
work In languages, literature and journalism. The
degree of Bachelor of Arts in Commerce will be con-
ferred upon those students who satisfactorily com-
plete a full four years' course in studies relating par-
ticularly to business administration and industrial
life. The degree of Bachelor of Arts in Education will
be conferred upon those students who complete the
studies in the School of Education.
By a careful study of the courses outlined below,
the student will be easily able to make a choice most
suitable to his tastes and probable future life.
In general, it may be suggested that those stu-
dents preparing to enter such professions as the min-
istry or law, will choose the B. A. course in Classics;
those looking forward to medicine, dentistry and other
scientific work, the B. A. course in Science; those ex-
pecting to enter the literary and journalistic field,
the B. A. course in Literature, and those who intend
to spend their lives in the business world, the B. A.
course in Commerce; those who expect to teach, the
B. A. course in Education.
While each of these courses is so shaped as to in-
fluence the student towards a certain end, colored
largely by the type of studies, yet each course, will
be found to include such subjects of general culture
as are necessary to the education of a life as distin-
guished from a living.
Graduates of Normal Schools or Junior Colleges are
admitted to the Junior class and are required to work
out 32 hours. At least twelve of these must be done
with Oglethorpe.

THE HONORS COURSE AT OGLETHORPE
The Honors Course at Oglethorpe University has
been planned to fill a very definite need of present day
education. With the elective system in operation
everywhere and with the multiplication of schools
and departments and courses in our American uni-
versites, the college student is frequently bewildered
as to what subjects he should choose and what courses
to pursue. Specialization also has gone so far in our
institutions that young men, after studying hard for
four years in one department or another, find that
they have omitted many objects which, among the
best educated, are considered essential to full culture.
The President of the University has, therefore, pre-
pared, and the Faculty and Executive Committee of
the University have approved, the following course of
study to meet this situation and supply the need aris-
ing from it. The courses offered are designed to lay
a satisfactory foundation for the understanding and
enjoyment of life. While they adequately prepare a
student for any of the professions, in so far as col-
lege work can do so, and for business life as well, yet
they are not exclusively utilitarian. They are intend-
ed to develop and sustain a great soul, to acquaint
him with the fundamental lines of progress of the
human race and place him in position to interpret life
to his fellowmen.
The difficulty of doing this adequately without in-
cluding a larger number of studies and, therefore,
more hours of work than the average student can
successfully carry, is obvious. The course is designed
only for the student whose preparation and ability are
both above the average. In order to insure this con-
dition a passing grade and general average not lower
Oglbthorph University 45
than 90 is necessary for its successful prosecution.
Upon those students who complete the entire four
years with a general average for the four years be-
tween 90 and 95, the degree of Bachelor of Arts, Mag-
no Cum Honore, is conferred. Upon any student com-
pleting the course with a general average of 95 or
more, the degree of Bachelor of Arts, Summo Cum
Honore, is conferred.
As the Honors Course requires for its pursuit un-
usual mental ability and moral character, applicants
must present evidence of exceptional preparation and
superior mental tests. To this end, the President will
accept for the course only those students who can
qualify for the prescribed requirements. If at the
end of the first term, any student in the Honors
Course fails to make a grade of 90 or more he will be
required to transfer to another course.
It is well known to those best acquainted with the
progress of education in the South that even the best
of our Southern colleges and universities are approx-
imately one year behind the best schools of the East
and West. It is a regrettable fact that the Southern
student who has finished the freshman work is just
about ready to enter the freshman class in the best
Eastern institutions. This is not the fault of our col-
leges but of insufficient preparation in our high
schools, and while this condition of affairs is being
improved it will be many years before it is completely
remedied. This course, which an earnest and intel-
ligent student may take in five years and a brilliant
student in four years, will offset this difference and
will make it possible for our Southern boys and girls
to acquire the same amount of information and do
the same amount of work at college that is done by
46 Oglethorpe University
those graduating from the best institutions of the
East and West.
No substitutions or electives are allowed. The
course must be taken as scheduled and in the order,
by years, as stated. Students may, however, take
some of the courses of the freshman year in the sum-
mer term following the freshman year, and similarly
for the other years' work. The time allowed for the
completion of the work is not less than four years
and not more than five. Failure to successfully com-
plete the course does not in any way disqualify the
student from securing full credits toward other de-
grees offered for all work successfully completed. He
may then be graduated in any of the departments of
the college as he may elect on the basis of such work
as he has done. The courses themselves are as fol-
lows, beginning with the Freshman year.

The course in freshman mathematics guarantees a
reasonably adequate equipment in that department.
The course in Greek and Latin Etymology is designed
to supply the student with a familiarity with scien-
tific terms which he will need during the remainder
of his college work, not only, but throughout his
whole life. Lists of common scientific terms, are
studied and their derivation explained. The course
of English acquaints the student with the form and
structure of the language that he speaks, and drills
him in the effective use of it. The course in Latin
Oglethorpe University 47
begins at the beginning. The student is taught to
read Latin as rapidly as possible. Any student who
has already had in a standard high school as many
as two years in Latin may substitute another sub-
ject instead of this course from the list which fol-
lows. The course in physics needs no explanation.
The course in history begins with the first civilization
in the city-states of the Tigro-Euphrates Valley and
is a foundation for other historical studies that fol-
low. The course in physiology is designed to give the
student an adequate idea of the house in which he
lives during the remainder of his days. The course
in the Old Testament runs parallel partly with that
of freshman history and lays the foundation for his
moral and ethical thinking. In addition to the above,
the student is required to take regular work in phy-
sical culture.
In the Sophomore year, the courses are as follows :
Hours Hours
English 211— 3 New Testament 211— 2
Latin 211 — 3 Bookkeeping 3
Modern Language 211 — 3 Economics 111 — 3
Biology 121— 5 Physical Culture
History 3
25
The study of English is continued and the same
modern language that was elected for the freshman
year must be continued in the sophomore year. The
course in Latin covers Caesar, first term, selections
from Vergil, second term, some of the Odes of Horace
in the third term. The course in Biology makes it
possible for the student to understand the life pro-
cesses of the earth. The course in history covers the
story of Greece and Rome. The course in the New
Testament is a study of the life and teachings of
Jesus Christ, without a knowledge of which no man
48 Oglethorpb Univbrsity
can be considered an educated man. The course in
economics is fundamental to any conception of the
business and political world. To this is added the
work in bookkeeping and elementary accounting
which will enable our student to interpret the statis-
tical part of any enterprise or business with which he
may be connected. To these, also, is added the work
in physical culture.
The courses in the Junior year are as follows :
Hours Geology 3
English 3 Psychology 3
Modern Language 3 Sociology 3
Chemistry 121— 5 Physical Culture
History 3 J
Commercial Law 3 26
In the Junior year, the course in English broadens
still further the student's knowledge of literature.
The second modern language is taken up. The work
in chemistry interprets to him the constitution of the
world in which he is living. The course in history
covers the story of continental Europe in its broad
outlines. The work in Commercial Law lays the foun-
dations for intelligent management of his business af-
fairs. A year in geology, including a short review of
paleontology, reveals to him the marvelous story of
the earth on which he is living. A year in Psychology
acquaints him with the processes of his own soul, and
the work in Sociology orientates him with respect to
society. To these also is added the work in physical
culture.
In the Senior year, the courses are as follows:

The work for the seniors in English, while it may
vary its subject from time to time, is designed to
widen our student's knowledge of the finest creative
work in his language. The course in history covers
the story of England and America. The second mod-
ern language begun in the junior year is continued.
A year is spent in the study of civics and politics to
prepare our student for an intelligent exercise of his
duty as a citizen. A year in astronomy gives to him
a better grasp of the universe and bestows upon him
a sense of direction and orientation with respect to
his environment. His work in anthropology covers
the whole long story of the development of man. The
work in the history of art includes architecture, sculp-
ture, painting and music, and by acquainting him with
the great works of the past enables him to enjoy and
create art during his life time. The study of market-
ing introduces him to the whole vast field of distri-
buting the products of the world's industry. To this
is added the course in Cosmic History, a sort of in-
troduction to life by the President of the college; and
the work in physical exercise.
The following special courses may be chosen in lieu
of such subjects in the freshman year as the student
may have had in his preparatory work:
Advanced work in Science
Banking and allied subjects
Business Problems
Mathematics
Third year in any language
Ethics
History of Philosophy
Principles and Philosophy of Education.
50 Oglethorpe University
Students in the Honors Course whose general aver-
age for five successive terms is as high as 93 will re-
ceive the Coat of Arms Sweater, these conditions be-
ing the same as those outlined for all students at the
college.
The University recognizes the fact that a vast ac-
cumulation of information even though it be organiz-
ed by a well-trained intellect is utterly incomplete and
even dangerous unless the whole is controlled by a fine
moral purpose and utilized in excellent personal con-
duct. It is a tradition of the University that a close
association should be maintained between education
and righteousness, a fixed alliance of morality with
enlightenment. We feel that to furnish the highest
intellectual training to liars, thieves, adulturers, or
crooks would be calamitous to society whose leaders
and examples they would be.
All Honor Students at Oglethorpe, therefore, are
required to observe the following laws:
First, the law of personal honesty, forbidding all
cheating on examinations, all thefts, minor and ma-
jor.
The law of personal truthfulness, which forbids all
deceit of every kind whatsoever and particularly in a
form of misrepresentation or lying.
The law of personal purity which commands perfect
continence.
The law of loyalty which aligns the student with
all that is best in the traditions of his Alma Mater
and pledges his active support thereto, above any sub-
sidiary college organization such as societies, frater-
nities, clubs and others. This covers also abstention
Oglethorpe University 51
from all forms of hazing, and a pledge of his support
to the faculty in preventing same.
The law of self-control which, while partly covered
in the law of personal purity, also includes all forms
of drunkenness, gambling, and similar lapses from the
highest ideals of the moral law.
The law of reverence: "Thou shalt not take the
name of the Lord thy God in vain, for the Lord will
not hold him guiltless that taketh His name in vain."
No student who violates the above laws may con-
tinue as an honor student at Oglethorpe University.
At the close of the student's course, after he has
won either the magno cum honore or the summo cum
honore grade he will also be presented by the Presi-
dent with a medallion of solid gold on which are em-
blazoned the Coat of Arms of the University and her
seal.
GRADUATE SCHOOL
It is the purpose of Oglethorpe University to de-
velop a thoroughly excellent Graduate School, offering
courses in all departments leading to the Master's de-
gree. In supplying this need, which has for a long
while been acutely felt in the South, the management
of the University will be content with only the verjr
highest grade of work and facilities.
Courses leading to the Master's degree in certain
departments will be found outlined elsewhere in this
catalogue under the appropriate department heading.
This degree is based on that of Bachelor of Arts of
Oglethorpe University or of some other approved in-
stitution. The candidate must have an aggregate of
52 Oglethorpe University
fifteen hours of graduate work, with at least two Pro-
fessors; twelve hours must be done with Oglethorpe.
In addition a thesis is required. But the degree is not
guaranteed at the end of a fixed period of time. A cer-
tain amount of work must be accomplished, and the
quality of it must be such as to satisfy the Professors
concerned and the whole Faculty. During the past
year the University has established several centers
for study in the city of Atlanta. More than fifty of
the Atlanta teachers have been enrolled in these
courses. At each center as much as six hours' work
per week has been done, this making possible the at-
tainment of an incompleted Bachelor's or Master's
degree. This opportunity will be continued during
the next year.
In this connection, the prospective student will be
interested in learning that all Professors chosen as
the heads of departments in Oglethorpe University
must have obtained the highest academic degree offer-
ed in that department. This fact is mentioned in or-
der to indicate the earnest determination of the
Board of Directors of the University that her Fac-
ulty shall include only men of the highest intellectual
attainment as well as men of great teaching power
and strong personal character.
The President of the University will be pleased to
answer any inquiries as to graduate courses to be of-
fered.
PRE-PROFESSIONAL COURSES
Students who are contemplating the profession of
law, medicine or dentistry and who do not desire to
study for an academic degree, are allowed to take
such work as will prepare them for entrance to profes-
Oglethorpe University 53
sional schools. In addition to the required high school
units for college entrance, professional students must
complete one or more years of college work, accord-
ing to the requirements of the institution that they
are planning to enter. The attention of the prospec-
tive student, however, should be called to the fact
that each year finds it more necessary for the profes-
sional man to have a thorough foundation for his pro-
fessional studies, and the professional schools are be-
coming more strict in their requirements for entrance.
Particularly is this the case in medicine where the
best colleges require a diploma from a standard col-
lege for entrance. Having this in mind Oglethorpe
University may discontinue its two year pre-med-
ical course and we strongly advise our students of
medicine to have their college diploma safely in hand
before they begin their professional studies. The
course which we recommend for them is that leading
to Bachelor of Arts in Science, outlined on page 39.
As a suggestion for those students who plan to
enter law school and dental college, undertaking a
two-year pre-professional course, the following out-
line of studies is recommended:

THE PRESIDENT'S COURSE
Cosmic History (411-412-413*) by President Jacobs.
In the endeavor to give to the graduates of the Uni-
versity a course that will co-ordinate the knowledge
they have obtained of such subjects as Biology, Ge-
ology, Paleontology, etc., with their work in Bible,
Ethics and Philosophy, the President of the Univer-
sity will meet the Senior Class one hour per week,
Tuesday, at 10:30, in a seminar covering a story
of human life following the broad outlines of Astron-
omy, Geology, Paleontology, Embryology, Anthropol-
ogy and Archaeology. The course closes with a study
of the first ten chapters of Genesis in relation to mod-
ern discoveries. It is especially designed to give the
graduates of Oglethorpe University a conception of
the harmony between religion and modern science and
is required of all Seniors. It is believed that this
work of co-ordination of modern science with relig-
ion can best be done in the senior class, to the end
that in harmonizing the truths learned their faith
may not be unsettled.
"In this numbering, the hundreds indicate the year (Fresh-
man, Sophomore, Junior, Senior, or First Year, Second Year,

Stacy-Capers Telescope. — -By the generosity of
Thomas Stacy Capers, the well-known telescope of
Dr. James Stacy has become the property of the Uni-
versity. It is a six-inch refracting instrument with a
focal length of ninety inches. It was formerly the
property of the uncle of the donor who was an alum-
nus of the old Oglethorpe and is named in honor of
them both.
BIBLE AND PHILOSOPHY
The course in English Bible extends over two years ;
it is required for the B. A. degree in all five depart-
ments, and must be pursued by every under-graduate
student.
The first year is devoted to the Old Testament, the
second to the New Testament, together with the in-
tervening period. The study will include the mastery
of the history contained in the Bible, an analysis of
56 Oglethorpe University
each book, and such other matters as are required
for the proper understanding of the work. It will
be treated not from a sectarian point of view, nor as
mere history or literature. The aim will be to im-
part such a knowledge of the subject as every intelli-
gent man should possess, enabling him to read his
Bible with pleasure and profit.
The effort will be made to give the students the
proper defense of seeming difficulties in the Bible,
both for their own benefit, and that they may be able
to meet the objections of unbelievers.
Text-Books— Bible 111- 112- 113- : English Bible,
Moorehead's Outline Studies in the Books of the Old
Testament.

A course in the phylogeny of man and mammals.
The laboratory work consists largely of the dissec-
tion of the muscles, nervous system and viscera of
the cat and related mammals. Each organ is studied
with reference to its development, anatomy, and phy-
siology. Instruction is based in so far as possible on
observations made in the laboratory experiments and
on demonstrations. The facts observed are discussed
in lectures and quizzes. In lectures free use is made
of charts, models and microscopic sections. Weekly
oral quizzes are supplemented by written tests given
upon the completion of some general division of the
subject.

CHEMISTRY
Professor Sellers L. C. Drake
Chemistry 111- 112- 113-. Elementary Inorganic
Chemistsry.
This course consists of lectures, demonstrations,
recitations and laboratory exercises. During the
year, as the students are studying the subject, the
Oglethorpe University 59
work of the laboratory is closely co-ordinated with
that of the text. In the spring term lectures on in-
dustrial chemistry are given, illustrated by inspection
of local manufacturing plants. This is a cultural
course and is offered to students who do not purpose
to continue the subject.
Two lectures or recitations and two laboratory hours
a week, three terms. Credit, three hours.
Chemistry 121- 122- 123-. General Inorganic
Chemistry.
This course includes the work of Chemistry 111-,
and prescribes one additional hour in lecture and two
additional hours in laboratory. The course not only
gives to students cultural knowledge of the subject,
but offers broader training in the theory and practice
of general chemistry, preparatory for advanced work
in the subject.
Three lectures or recitations and four laboratory
hours a week, three terms. Credit, five hours.

SECRETARIAL COURSES
The secretarial course of study is designed for the
following: (a) Persons who wish to enter the business
world in the capacity of skilled assistants to those in
executive positions; (b) Teachers of commercial sub-
jects in high schools; (c) Office managers and the
like; (d) Young ladies who are preparing for work
of a literary nature, or as social secretaries.
In the work in modern foreign languages, not less
than two years of work will be accepted for gradua-
tion. In case only a reading knowledge is desired, on
the successful completion of the first two units, a
second language may be taken up.
For those preparing to teach in high schools it is
recommended that from the electives nine hours of
Education be taken, as this will qualify graduates for
the State Professional Teacher's Certificate.
At the close of the first two years of work, provid-
ed a record has been established for scholarship,
character, and reliability, on request a Certificate of
Proficiency will be granted. This is not to encourage
a premature capitalization of ability, but more as an
incentive to complete the four years of work for the
diploma and the degree.

THE SCHOOL OF EDUCATION
Leading to the Degree of Bachelor of Arts (B. A.)
in Education
Professor Gaertner Professor Burrows
The school of Education is both an undergraduate
and also a graduate school. A number of graduates
from such schools in Oglethorpe University as well
as other colleges have entered the teaching profession.
Much of the work being psychological and humanis-
tic, the discipline of this school is a preparation for
various lines of work besides that of teaching. This
school is a good preparation dealing with all forms
of human contact sides of life work. We especially
recommend the new courses in shorthand and type-
writing to be taken as part of the electives in Junior
or Senior years or earlier by substitution, for secre-
tarial careers, or commercial teaching in high schools.

Oglethorpe University 89
THE SCHOOL OF PHYSICAL CULTURE
Perhaps the most remarkable single development
in the modern educational world is the possession by
our colleges and universities of complete control of
the greatest of all sports. American college football
is the most interesting, most exciting, most manly,
most instructive and most profitable game ever play-
ed by men. It, more than any other, furnishes to its
devotees something of the moral equivalent of war,
and such a hold has it taken on the public that they
pour out their tens of thousands of dollars to witness
inter-collegiate games in vast stadia and bowls erect-
ed largely for the purpose at a cost reaching into
the millions. It is a momentous thing for the aca-
demic world to have control of the American equiv-
alent of the Olympic games and the contests of the
arena, and as we watch the never ceasing enlarge-
ment of interest, finance, equipment and importance
of this part of college work it must be perfectly ap-
parent that the very life of a college depends and will
more and more depend upon its method of handling
this fact which is at once a challenge and an oppor-
tunity.
And, hand in hand with football, go baseball, bas-
ket-ball, boating, track, and indeed the whole physical
well-being of the vast American student-body.
Passing by as somnolent those colleges that side-
step the fact by denying their students the privilege
of intercollegiate sports and those that permissively
decree a Students' Athletic Association which as-
sumes control of coach, games, and often of "Faculty
Directors of Athletics," we come to those institu-
tions that face the situation with wide open eyes.
90 Oglethorpe University
The attitude of Oglethorpe University to all ath-
letics is based upon the recognition of the physical
training of the human body as a college study.
It is presumed that a matter of such overwhelm-
ing importance to college life as athletics and of such
transcendent interest to the public that it commands
their time and purses at will, is a matter worth study-
ing seriously and deserving to be ranked with Greek
and Poultry Keeping.
Therefore Oglethorpe University has founded her
School of Physical Culture.
Its purpose is two-fold: To train, protect and de-
velop the bodies of all the students of the University
and to offer a special school where those who deserve
it may receive special training, equipping them for
positions as Physical Directors in Y. M. C. A.'s, in
the Army, and in other schools, colleges and univer-
sities.
A3 a school for the special preparation of students
for positions as physical directors and coaches in Y.
M. C. A.'s, the Army and other schools and univer-
sities, a regular curriculum has been arranged offer-
ing instruction in the following subjects, the comple-
tion of which will lead to an appropriate certificate or
degree.
1. Physiology — A first-year course in the study
of the human body, one hour per week — Fall, Winter
Spring and Summer Terms. Required of all Fresh-
men. Prerequisite for all courses enumerated below.
Includes studies in Sanitation, Hygiene and First Aid.
Professor Hunt
2. Mass Athletics— A study of methods used in
the A. E. F., Play Athletics, study of muscles, their
Oglethorpe University 91
development and health. Study of various develop-
ment systems. Three hours per week. Required of
all students who do not elect courses 3-10.
Mr. Robertson
3. Track- — Study and practice of all track exercise,
running, jumping, vaulting and javelin throwing,
hurdling and relay race. Three hours per week. Elec-
tive. Mr. Anderson
4. Football — Science and practice of this greatest
of games, study of formations, plays, strategy, man-
agement. Mr. Robertson
5. Baseball — Science and practice of the most
widely popular of all American game3. Spring term
only. Twelve hours per week. Mr. Anderson
6. Tennis — Study and practice. Fall, Winter,
Spring and Summer Terms. Three hours per week.

8; also of chess, draughts, ten pins, etc. Fall, Winter
and Spring Terms. One hour per week. Dr. Libby
10. Arts and Science Group — Comprising such
electives from courses offered in the Schools of Arts
and Sciences, Literature, and Commerce as may be
elected to complete requirements of S. I. A. A., for
eligibility in intercollegiate games.
92 Oglethorpe University
An appropriate letter will be given all students
making the University team in any of the above
classes, 3-8, inclusive.
Every human being should be taught to play with
his fellow-beings. Every student should have daily
exercise. These two simple but fundamental axioms
are the basis for all work in this department.
The munificent gift of fifty thousand dollars by Mr.
and Mrs. Harry P. Hermance to Oglethorpe Univer-
sity for an athletic field has made possible the im-
mediate inauguration of this plan, which is founded
upon the study from a college standpoint of psychol-
ogy, hygiene, sanitation, first-aid work, etc. It fur-
ther emphasizes the necessity of careful medical
supervision of all athletics and the adaptation to each
individual student of special forms of exercise.
One of the most important features is the requiring
of every student to take some form of physical ex-
ercise daily under proper medical or tutorial guid-
ance. In this way those who need it most would be
most advantaged, and the chief failure of the athletic
program of our average American college would be
obviated; for it is a notorious fact that most of our
institutions develop a small number of trained ath-
letes in football, baseball, basket-ball, etc., while the
great mass of students do little more than sit on the
bleachers and yell.
And the building of the new athletic field given by
Mr. and Mrs. Hermance makes possible the inaugura-
tion at Oglethorpe of a complete system of physical
culture for all students. It will include not only the
great athletic features such as football, baseball, bas-
ket-ball, etc., but also many interesting track exer-
Oglethorpe University 93
rises, discus and javelin throwing, jumping, vaulting
and, in fact, all of the various numbers to be found
at our intercollegiate track meets. It is the purpose
of Oglethorpe University as quickly as circumstances
may permit, to enter, and, in addition, to develop a
strong boating crew on Silver Lake.
The University has been especially fortunate in
enjoying the services of Mr. Frank B. Anderson, one
of the best known coaches in the South, who has had
charge of Athletics at Oglethorpe University and who
has been advanced to the directorship of the depart-
ment of physical culture. Mr. Anderson has merited
and won not only a great reputation as a coach, but
as a clean, fine friend of young men, and there is no
man in the whole of America more loved by his boys.
We are especially fortunate also in being able to
announce that Mr. Harry Robertson, famous all-
American football star, will coach our football team
and teach Courses Nos. 2 and 4. The University, of
course, is proud of his record and happy in the know-
ledge that our boys will have as their coach a man
who is an expert in that department with hardly an
equal in this country; and those of us who have
charge of the moral and mental life of the University,
feel especially happy in having at the head of this
fascinating department of our work, a splendid out-
standing man whose personal influence with the stu-
dents will mean so much in the building of character
and the enforcing of every moral and religious pre-
cept. It is not going too far to say that the teams
at Oglethorpe will be as well coached next year and
thereafter as any teams on the American continent,
for there are no two finer men at the head of athletics,
whether it be as coaches or as men, than the two who
94 Oglethorpe University
head this department at Oglethorpe.
Other instructors will be added as this work may
require.
SUMMER SESSION
The summer term of Oglethorpe University meets
the requirements of regular students who desire to
speed up their courses or make up work that is un-
satisfactory, as also the large number of students in
the down town courses or teachers working toward
some degree.
In order to avoid getting parts of courses, students
will not take six subjects, reciting three times a week
as in the winter, but will take two or three subjects,
each for nine hours a week, one hour and a half each
day.
This intensive specializing will enable each student
to complete two full length winter courses in the sum-
mer term. Three summers are thus equivalent to a
college year.
All summer courses are credited toward the attain-
ment of a degree, and afford a convenient way to push
up by one year the date of graduation. The down
town students can do more than the work usually
done in the extension courses during the year. It
can be so planned that a teacher in or near Atlanta
can in twelve calendar months finish the regular year
of work.
Graduates of standard normal schools or Junior
Colleges are admitted to Junior standing. For these
the completion of thirty two hours' work obtains the
A. E. degree in Education. For the A. M. degree,
Oglethorpe University 96
graduates of recognized colleges are admitted and the
degree requirement is fifteen hours and a thesis.
For details as to courses to be offered, write to the
University.
EXPENSES
The tuition for the first six weeks is $50.00. For
the remainder of the term $32.50. Board and room
can be obtained for $35 to $40 per month.
GRADUATION
At the close of the full summer term a graduation
exercise will be held for those completing the work
of either the A. B. or A. M. degree.
FACILITIES
The library, the swimming pool, indoor basket-ball
courts, tennis grounds, and the like will be kept open
for the use of summer students.
UNIVERSITY EXPENSES
Board and Room Rent
The dormitory facilities of Oglethorpe University
are the safest and most comfortable of cognate insti-
tutions in the South. All the permanent buildings of
the University will be like those now finished, which
are believed to be absolutely fireproof, being con-
structed of steel, concrete and granite with parti-
tions of brick and hollow tile.
The prices named below are based upon three
grades of rooms. The first of these comprises the
entire third floor of the Administration building, the
third floor of Lupton Hall, and the second and third
floors of Lowry Hall, divided into individual rooms,
96 Oglethorpe University
with general toilet and bath room on the same floor.
Each room contains a lavatory furnishing hot and
cold water. The second grade is that of the second
floor of the Administration building and is composed
of suites of rooms, each suite containing a bedroom,
bath and study. The price charged includes first-class
board, steam heat, electric lights, water and janitor's
service, and all rooms are furnished adequately and
substantially. Every room in the dormitories contains
ample closet space. The rooms are large, airy, safe
and comfortable.
The furniture is of substantial quality and is ap-
proximately the same for all rooms, including chif-
fonier, study-table, single bed, spring and mattress
for each student.
Room linen and bed clothing will be furnished by
the student. Applications for rooms should be filed
at once. For reservation of room inclose $5.00 reser-
vation fee, to be credited on first payment.
The expenses at Oglethorpe University are made
as low as the quality of instruction, of rooming ac-
commodations and of table fare will permit. No fees
such as matriculation, library, hospital, contingent,
athletic, etc.,, are charged. To Day Students the
only charge made is that of tuition which is $82.50
per term, as covered by the college calendar.
For students boarding in the dormitories of the
University the following charges are made:
Administration Building, third floor; Lupton Hall,
third floor; and Lowry Hall third floor — $190.00 per
term.
Lowry Hall, second floor $192.50 per term.
Oglethorpe University 97
Administration Building, second floor, $210.00 per
term.
These figures include board, room rent, tuition and
all college fees, even to football, baseball, basketball
and Players' club tickets.
All University charges are payable quarterly in ad-
vance except by special arrangement. For absences
no rebate is made on board for less than one week,
nor on room rent and tuition for less than one term. No
rebate is made on absences caused by temporary sus-
pension by action of the faculty. All Freshmen, other
than day students and young women, are required to
room on the campus except upon the written request
of their parents or guardians. It will be observed that
the total cost for the entire year, including tuition,
table board and room rent, heat, light, water and
janitor service and all other college dues ranges from
$570.00 per year of approximately eight and a half
months, (three terms) upward — according to room-
ing accommodations. The student should bring his
own bedding and personal linen. Books may be pur-
chased from the Petrel Shop or in the city of Atlanta
and will cost approximately $10.00 per term.
Upon assuming possession of his room each student
is given a statement showing the general condition
of the room and of the articles of furniture contained
therein. He is required at the end of each term —
or at the end of the college year — upon request of the
Superintendent, to restore the property to the con-
dition in which he received it by paying the actual
cost of replacements and repairs as made or estimated
as necessary to be made by the college officials. When
the room is occupied by more than one student the
98 Oglethorpe University
cost of repairs is divided in proportion to responsi-
bility.
r? SELF HELP
Approximately fifteen per cent of the Oglethorpe
student body are "working their way through col-
lege" in whole or in part.
It is the intention of the authorities of the Univer-
sity to see that a way is provided as far as possible
for the assistance of any student who may be in pe-
cuniary need and yet desirous of prosecuting his
studies at Oglethorpe. A special Faculty Committee
will co-operate with students to that end.
As a general rule it is best for the student that he
should be able to devote all of his time to his aca-
demic duties, but where circumstances require it,
many students may undertake various tasks, pay-
ment for which materially aids them in meeting their
expenses.
For further information address the President,
Oglethorpe University.
SPECIAL LOAN FUND
By the generosity of a good friend who does not
wish his name mentioned, the University is able to
lend a limited sum to deserving students who would
otherwise be unable to prosecute their studies at
Oglethorpe. Further details upon application.
ATHLETICS— HERMANCE FIELD
The munificent generosity of Mr. and Mrs. Harry
P. Hermance in giving to Oglethorpe an Athletic Sta-
dium, to be the finest in the South, makes feasible the
development of all forms of field sports, including not
Oglethorpe University 99
only the great games of football and baseball, but also
vaulting, jumping, discus and javelin throwing, track
work, etc. Physical culture for all students will be re-
quired.
A sanely encouraging attitude is taken by the Uni-
versity toward intercollegiate athletics, and Ogle-
thorpe University is acquitting herself well in that
sphere of her educational life.
SILVER LAKE
In addition to those sports common to all well
equipped colleges in the South, Oglethorpe University
is the fortunate possessor of a beautiful lake covering
eighty acres located conveniently to the University
campus, with a part of its shore set aside for a univer-
sity boat house. This will enable the institution to
add a crew to its list of athletic sports. The lake
is admirably suited for boating, rowing, swimming
and fishing.
The policy of Oglethorpe University includes the
care of the physical life of our students as a matter
of large importance. Regular instruction, looking to
symmetrical development of the entire man will be
given in the Athletic Department of the University,
under competent medical guidance. Special attention
is at present given to outdoor athletics. Adequate
provision is being made for football and baseball
grounds, tennis courts, etc. Work has been begun
on Hermance Stadium.
UNIVERSITY STORE
One of the interesting features of university life at
Oglethorpe is the Petrel Shop operated by a group of
students, under the superintendence of the Faculty.
100 Oglethorpe University
In the store are kept all the necessary college acces-
sories. Any ordinary purchase may thus be made
most conveniently, as full lines of goods answering
the various college requirements are constantly kept
on hand.
MORAL AND RELIGIOUS ATMOSPHERE
The ability of a college or university to develop
worthy character in its students depends largely upon
that indefinable quality called "college atmosphere."
As a mother, she breathes her own soul into her boys.
They inherit all she has been through, all of labor
and strength and faith and prayer. If her judgments
have been bought out with money they inherit that;
if with blood they inherit that. Every storm through
which she has passed strengthens them for their own
conflicts in the days that are to come.
Oglethorpe is a daughter of battle and faith and
prayer. God alone built her, touching the hearts of
multitudes of His children at the voice of her call.
Alone of all the prominent ante-bellum universities
she died for her ideals and alone of all the universi-
ties of America, God has raised her from the dead.
By her every battle, her every faith, her every
triumph, she has learned what things are really worth
while and what hand really to lean upon. She will
tell her children of Him.
SPECIAL RELIGIOUS SERVICES
Regular assembly exercises, which the students are
required to attend, are conducted by each of the mem-
bers of the faculty in turn. The student life at Ogle-
thorpe is also blessed by the activities of the Y. M.
C. A., and frequent sermons and addresses by visit-
Oglethorpe University 101
ing pastors and evangelists. A Sunday School Class
has been started by the students themselves, which
grew to a membership of over eighty.
LIBRARIES
By the generosity of many friends, so great as to
be almost unparalleled, the University received dur-
ing the first year of its life approximately ten thou-
sand volumes for the library. These consist of stand-
ard works in Literature, History and Science, with
many valuable reference works in special depart-
ments. The Private Libraries of Dr. Sellers in
Science, of Dr. Nicolassen in the Classics and of Pro-
fessor Burrows in Education are all available for the
use of the students in these departments. The policy
of the institution is to let no year go without the en-
largement of the library. A competent librarian is in
charge and the rooms will be open during the year of
1928-29 approximately ten hours per day. The Public
Library is also available for the use of our students.
KING LIBRARY OF ENGLISH
By the splendid generosity of Dr. Cheston King
the University has been given a Library of English
incomparably the finest south of Washington. The
volumes for this library, including some seventeen
thousand books and pamphlets, have been received,
and are now available for graduate work.
OGLETHORPE COAT-OF-ARMS
Among the unique honors offered at the University
is the presentation of a sweater with the Coat-of-
Arms blazoned thereon, which will be awarded in the
future under the terms of the following resolution
unanimously adopted by the Faculty of the Univer-
102
Oglethorpe University
sity, upon recommendation of the President:
"Resolved, that on and after September 1st, 1922,
the Coat-of-Arms of Oglethorpe University shall be
given to those students carrying a minimum of fifteen
hours weekly, of excellent personal character and
conduct, whose general average of all the courses
taken during five preceding consecutive terms shall
have been not less than 93, or who, in lieu of said
general average, shall have so distinguished them-
selves in some intellectual, creative, or constructive
accomplishment as to entitle them thereto in the
judgment of the Faculty."

THE PHI KAPPA DELTA (Honorary)
The Phi Kappa Delta was organized in 1920. Only
students of the Junior and Senior class are eligible.
The qualifications are scholarship and character.
THE OGLETHORPE IDEA
Quality is the word that expresses the Oglethorpe
idea — quality in location, in climate, in campus, in
architecture, in student character, in college life, in
athletics and sports, in faculty, in curriculum and in
religion and morals. Every one of these we offer at
Oglethorpe.
Located in the commercial and educational capital
of the South, with an unrivaled climate, on the most
elegant street of that city, on a most beautiful cam-
pus of over one hundred and eighty acres of woodland
and meadow, including an eighty-two acre lake which
belongs to our students for swimming, boating and
fishing, the physical advantages offered by Ogle-
thorpe University are unsurpassed anywhere in the
section.
One by one a splendid body of buildings is being
erected on its campus. Every one of them will be
of granite trimmed with limestone and covered with
variegated slates. All of them will be as fire-proof
as human skill can make them and as commodious
104 Oglethorpe University
and comfortable as our architects can plan them. They
will be like the first buildings already erected, which
are believed to be the safest, most beautiful and
most efficient college or university buildings in the
Southeast.
THE OGLETHORPE SITE— ATLANTA
The attractions of the city of Atlanta as an educa-
tional center are fast making it one of the great in-
tellectual dynamos of the nation. Gifted with a soft,
Southern mountain climate, convenient of access to
the entire nation over its many lines of railway,
known everywhere as the center of Southern activ-
ities, she draws to herself as to a magnet the great
minds of the nation and the world. Hither come lec-
turers, musicians, statesmen, evangelists, editors,
teachers and officials of the United States. An in-
tellectual atmosphere created by such conditions and
the frequent opportunity of contact with these lead-
ers in all branches of human activity, offered fre-
quently to our students, give Oglethorpe University
an advantage of position and of opportunity which
she will cultivate to the uttermost. Facilities for
hearing and meeting the great musicians and authors
and public speakers and the leaders in all spheres of
intellectual activity will be offered our students. The
tremendous influence of such contact upon the young
lives committed to us will be felt in increased ambi-
tion and redoubled determination to perform, them-
selves, their duty to their race and their God.
THE SILENT FACULTY AT OGLETHORPE
It is not going too far to say that the aesthetic
tastes and home habits of many young men are ruined
at college by the cheap and unattractive furnishings
Oglbthorps University 105
of their rooms and the ugly forbidding architecture
of the buildings, whose walls often deface their cam-
pus. The architecture of an institution of learning
should be a constant source of delight and inspira-
tion to its students, teaching quietly but surely the
highest ideals of life. Indeed all those qualities of
soul we know as honesty, solidity, dignity, durability,
reverence and beauty may be expressed in the face
of a building as surely as in that of a man, and are
so expressed on the Oglethorpe campus.
Not less important are the personal surroundings of
the student's room. Cheap, ugly and ill-equipped
apartments have exactly the same influence on the
soul of a boy that cheap, ugly and ill-equipped hu-
man companions have. That is why the rooms at
Oglethorpe are handsomely furnished. The sons of
the poor are entitled to the information and inspira-
tion such surroundings offer, and the sons of the rich
will deteriorate without them.
In brief the college education that does not teach
a love of beauty and tidiness and what is popularly
called "decency," is essentially and dangerously -de-
fective.
This is the special work of the silent faculty at
Oglethorpe.
THE EXCEPTIONAL OPPORTUNITIES OF OUR
PERSONAL ATTENTION
Young men who desire to enjoy the daily personal
contact and instruction of the heads of departments
will note with interest that Oglethorpe offers excep-
tional opportunities of that nature. It is well known
that in all our large institutions only the upper class-
106 Oglethorpe University
men come in any close contact with the full profes-
sors, who as heads of departments occupy their time
in other matters than educating Freshmen.
We believe in giving our Freshmen the best we
have, and they will be taught by men who have
taught in or had offered them, chairs in the greatest
universities of America. This will be a permanent
policy at Oglethorpe.
PHYSICAL TRAINING
All students of all classes are required to take two
hours a week of Physical Training. This is intended
to keep the body in good condition, and is especially
designed for the benefit of those students who do not
take part in football, baseball, etc., but who need
some stimulus to pay attention to their physical well
being.
INFIRMARY
The University maintains at all times an excellent
infirmary, with a nurse in attendance, for the prompt
treatment of accidents and of such cases of sickness
as may occur. By this means prolonged and serious
illness can often be prevented. During the recent in-
fluenza epidemic vigorous measures were taken at
once, with the result that, while there were a rela-
tively small number of cases there were no fatalities.
There is a University physician who can be secured
on short notice when his services are needed.
The University makes no charge to the students
for infirmary service which includes also the attend-
ance of the college physician in the infirmary. In
case of special illness requiring operations or the ser-
vices of specialists, while the University frequently
Oglethorpe University 107
is able to secure reduced charges for our students, yet
we assume no responsibility beyond such services as
our college physician and college infirmary are able
to render.
EXAMINATIONS AND REPORTS
Examinations will be held once each term, and re-
ports of the students' standing will be issued four
times per year.
PUBLIC UTILITIES
Oglethorpe University has the double advantage of
being located in the suburbs of Atlanta, so far out
as not to be subject to the distractions of city life, yet
so near in as to enjoy all the public utilities of a great
city. Among these are city water, electric lights,
city trolley line, telephone and telegraph service, and
in addition thereto the University has its own post-
office, express office and railway station, all known as
Oglethorpe University, Georgia.
DIRECTIONS TO NEW STUDENTS
Students coming to Oglethorpe University from a
distance should remember that Oglethorpe University
has its own station on the main line of the Southern
Railway between Atlanta and Washington. Tickets
may be purchased and baggage checked to Ogle-
thorpe University, Georgia, the station being imme-
diately in front of the campus. Students coming to
Atlanta over other lines may either re-check their
baggage to the University station, or may have it
delivered at a special rate by the Atlanta Baggage
& Cab Company. In using the latter method mention
should always be made of the special students' rate
at the time the order is given.
108 Oglethorpe University
WOMAN'S BOARD
One of the most remarkable gatherings, even in
this city of remarkable gatherings, was the assemb-
ling of approximately two hundred of the represen-
tative women of the city of Atlanta at the home of
Mrs. Thornwell Jacobs, Saturday afternoon, Nov-
ember 25, 1916, to organize a Woman's Board for
Oglethorpe University.
The purpose of the Board is to aid the University
in every wise and efficient way, with counsel of and
guidance by the proper authorities of the Institution.
Already more than four hundred of the finest work-
ers and most representative women of the city have
offered their services and joined the organization.
Their activities are directed toward the support and
development of Oglethorpe in every phase of its
growth and activities. Each of the ladies is assigned
to the committee on which she feels best able to serve.
These committees cover the various departments of
the University, and among them are: Ways and
Means, Finance, Grounds, Press, Entertainment,
Hospital, Music, Library, Arts, Refreshments, Trans-
portation, and such other committees as it may seem
wise to the Board from time to time to appoint.
The authorities of the University welcome the for-
mation of this organization with the greatest joy.
The mere fact that they have promised a devoted
allegiance to the enterprise has its own genuine val-
ue, but those who know the women of Atlanta, with
their marvelous capacity for earnest and consecrated
work directed by a swift and accurate intelligence,
will realize what must be the results of the efficient
aid which they are giving to the Institution.
Oglethorpe University 109
The Woman's Board has established a permanent
endowment fund and is being incorporated under the
laws of Georgia in preparation for handling funds
donated or bequeathed to the University through the
Woman's Board.
Officers and Chairmen of the various committees
have been unanimously chosen as follows:
Mrs. E. Rivers, President; Mrs Charles A. Conklin,
First Vice-President ; Mrs. Frank Inman, Second Vice-

REVISED CHARTER OF
OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY
PETITION TO AMEND.
GEORGIA— Fulton County.
To the Superior Court of Fulton County:
The petition of Oglethorpe University respectfully shows:
1. That by an order of this honorable court, petitioner
was duly incorporated on the 6th day of May, 1913; to which
proceedings reference is made.
2. That Paragraph 4 of said charter granted as aforesaid,
is sought to be amended by enlarging the scope thereof, by
substituting in lieu of the original Paragraph 4 the follow-
ing:
The corporate functions which shall mean the control of the
property of the corporation, its purchase, sale and other dis-
position shall be by a Board of Trustees of such number as
may be provided in the by-laws; no one is or shall ever be
eligible to membership on such board except a member in
good standing of a Presbyterian or Reformed Church. This
Board shall be elected from among those of the Board of
Founders, hereinafter provided for, who shall possess the
requisite qualifications. No mortgage, sale or other disposition
of the real property of the corporation shall ever be made
except by vote of the Board of Trustees in a regular meeting
or in a special meeting called therefor. Notice must be
given of the call for any such special meeting of the purpose
to consider such disposition.
There shall be a Board of Founders of such number as may
be prescribed by the by-laws who shall be persons who have
shown their interest in the purposes of the University by con-
tributing thereto, or in whose behalf there has been contribut-
ed in cash, property or solvent promises not less than one
thousand dollars and who are of such character and with
such interest in promoting religion, morality and education as
fits them for membership. This Board shall have the power
and it shall be its duty to have control and supervision over
the educational functions of the University, of its President,
officers, faculty, and courses of study; to elect from among
its members the Board of Trustees; to borrow money but not
to secure the same by lien on the real property; to elect from

all its functions when the Board is not in session, as may be
provided for in the by-laws and to perform generally the ad-
122 Oglethorpe University
ministrative functions of the University. The present Board
of Trustees-Founders shall constitute the Board of Founders,
whose members and their successors hold for life unless they
are removed or resign.
3. That at a regular meeting of the duly authorized of-
ficers of the corporation held in accordance with the charter
thereof, the aforesaid amendment was authorized as appears
from a copy of the resolutions attached hereto, marked EX-
HIBIT A.
WHEREFORE, petitioner prays an order of this honorable
court amending its charter as aforesaid.
