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
deep into Thy bosom until they rest upon the vast
rock of Thy counsel. Lift Thou my walls into the
clear empyrean 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 TRANSPARENT WITH HONESTY. LEAD THOU UN-
TO me, Lord God, those whom Thou hast appointed to
BE MY CHILDREN, AND WHEN THEY SHALL COME WHO WOULD
LEARN OF ME THE WISDOM OF THE YEARS, LET THE CRIMSON
OF MY WINDOWS GLOW WITH THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. LET
THEM SEE, O MY LORD, HlM WHOM THOU HAST SHOWN ME;
LET THEM HEAR HlM WHOSE VOICE HAS WHISPERED TO ME
AND LET THEM REACH OUT THEIR HANDS AND TOUCH HlM
WHO HAS GENTLY LED ME UNTO THIS GOOD DAY. ROCK-RIB-
BED 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.

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 insti-
tution. 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

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 for 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 eighteen 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 eighteen years ago
with a contribution of $100.00 a year for ten years
from her present president, it soon gathered with it
a band of great-hearted Atlanta men who determined
to see that their city had a university, as well as a
band of far-seeing educational leaders, who wished
to erect a certain high type of institution in this splen-
did 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 was told in 101
cities, towns and country all over the South from Gal-
veston, Tex., to Charlottesville, Virginia, and from
Marshall, Missouri, to Bradenton, Fla.; each one of
Oglethorpe University 19
them giving $1,000.00 or more to the enterprise; the
splendid triumph of the Atlanta campaigns; all this is
well known. Since that time the same wonderful rec-
ord has been maintained. There are now something
like five thousand men, women and children all of
whom have contributed or promised from fifty cents
to $1,000,000. 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, the gift of Col. and Mrs.
R. J. Lowry, 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 ap-
proximately $4,000,000. The building plan will be fol-
lowed out in its entirety.
THE OGLETHORPE CAMPUS
By the generosity of Mr. William Randolph Hearst,
Oglethorpe is the possessor of one of the finest college
20 Oglethorpe University
campuses in the entire world. In the summer of 1929
Mr. Hearst gave to the University the entire Silver
Lake Estates, four hundred acres of primeval forest
surrounding an eighty acre lake with something like
five miles of graded roads winding through it. As
this property immediately adjoins the two hundred
acres already possessed by the University, the com-
pleted campus consists of a body of six hundred acres
of land in one tract in the immediate vicinity of At-
lanta, on Peachtree Raod and on the main line of the
Southern Railroad. This gift of Mr. Hearst provides
for the University ample space for future development
and protects its growth from encroachment by urban
Atlanta whose suburbs are rapidly surrounding the
campus.
HERMANCE STADIUM
During the summer of 1929 the first section of
Hermance Stadium was erected at a cost of some-
thing over $100,000. Like all the other Oglethorpe
buildings it is constructed of granite, trimmed with
carved limestone. The seats are of reinforced con-
crete. This first section which seats about five thou-
sand, comprises approximately one-ninth of the total
seating capacity. When completed it will have cost
something like $750,000 and will have a seating capac-
ity of approximately that of the Roman Colosseum,
45,000. It is named in honor of Dr. and Mrs. Harry
P. Hermance, Hal Hermance and Miss Helena Her-
mance, the donors.
HER SPIRITUAL AND INTELLECTUAL IDEALS
But it is not so much the magnificent exterior of
the institution about which the men who are founding
Oglethorpe are most concerned, it is the spiritual and
Oglethorpe University 21
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.
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 name 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 three dials, ten bells and night illumination, the
gift of friends of the University. It is interesting to
note that this is the only chimes on any college cam-
pus in Georgia. Concerts on the chimes are given
daily and are broadcast over station WJTL.
22 Oglethorpe University
RADIO STATION
By the generosity of Dr. John Thomas Lupton,
there has been installed in Lupton Hall a complete
Radio Broadcasting Station, WJTL, the Radio Division
of Oglethorpe University. The purpose of the instal-
lation was to enable the University to reach thousands
of persons in and around the city of Atlanta who can-
not conveniently attend college on the campus of the
University but who desire to take courses with or
without matriculation for college degrees and credits.
Station WJTL was installed and began operation on

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. It has been the purpose of the Board
of Directors in making their selection of members of
the faculty to choose them from as many different
sections of America as possible, thus providing a rep-
resentative and cosmopolitan American corps of
teachers.

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-
34 Oglethorpe University
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 prepare themselves for the ad-
vanced courses which are to be offered.
Adequate library and laboratory facilities are pro-
vided. Free use is made of the city of Atlanta, in
itself a remarkable laboratory of industrial and scien-
tific life, whose museums, libraries and municipal
plants are at the disposal of our students for obser-
vation, inspection and investigation.
A glance at the frontispiece of the catalogue, show-
ing a 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 six hundred and fifty acres of land, in-
cluding an eighty acre lake which is located in the
nortwestern section 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 in the
basement a dining room; on the ground floor, chem-
istry and physics lecture rooms and laboratories and
the Bursar's office and lounging room for young
ladies attending the college; on the second and third
floors, the hospital and dormitories. Lupton Hall con-
sists of three separate structures which, combined,
contain the library, the President's office, radio trans-
mitting and broadcasting rooms, class rooms, dorm-
Oglethorpe University 35
itories, an Assembly Hall seating approximately six
hundred, equipped also as a theatre for the pres-
entation of student dramas, and in the basement, bas-
ketball court, swimming pool, lockers and showers, and
quarters for the University Press. The University
Press is equipped with a Babcock optimus press, lino-
type machine and two smaller presses, with a num-
ber of type stands and other printing equipment
given by a friend of the University. Lowry Hall
houses the Lowry School of Banking and Commerce,
and the Art studios. It is largely a replica of old Cor-
pus Christi College, Oxford, the alma mater of James
Edward Oglethorpe. It contains class rooms and dor-
mitories, and will stand as a perpetual memorial to the
generosity of Colonel R. J. Lowry and Emma Markham
Lowry.
STANDARDS FOR GEORGIA COLLEGES AND
JUNIOR COLLEGES *
The following standards have been adopted by the
State Board of Education of Georgia. They are de-
signed to serve two purposes:
(a) A basis for granting charters to new or pro-
posed higher educational institutions under the pro-
visions of Section 14 of the Georgia School Code.**
(b) A basis for preparing an approved list of teach-
er-training institutions for the State of Georgia.
It is not proposed that these standards should oper-
ate to make it impossible for a worthy new enterprise
* These standards have been adopted by Oglethorpe Univer-
sity and are effective as of September 23rd 1931.
** Section 14. No charter giving the right to confer degrees
or issue diplomas shall be granted to any proposed institution
of learning within the State of Georgia until the proper show-
ing has been made to the State Board of Education that the pro-
posed University, College, Normal, or Professional school shall
give evidence of its ability to meet the standard requirements
set up by the State Board of Education.
36 Oglethorpe University
to be begun, nor for a worthy institution now in oper-
ation to be denied a fair opportunity for development.
It is, therefore, agreed that:
(a) In the case of proposed new institutions of
higher learning, if the Board of Education is satisfied
that such institution has a reasonable possibility of
meeting these standards within three years, a provis-
ional charter for three years may be granted, such
charter to be made permanent if and when such insti-
tution shall have met the conditions of these stand-
ards.
(b) In the case of institutions now in operation, the
application of these standards shall not go into effect
until after the expiration of three years from the date
of the adoption of these standards.
STANDARDS FOR COLLEGES
1. Definition:
A standard college, university, or technological in-
stitution— designated as 'college' in this statement of
standards is an institution:
(a) Which is legally authorized to give non-profes-
sional Bachelor's degrees;
(b) Which is organized definitely on the basis of the
completion of a standard secondary school cur-
riculum ;
(c) Which organizes its curricula in such a way that
the early years are a continuation of, and sup-
plement the work of the secondary school and at
least the last two years are shaped more or less
distinctly in the direction of special, profes-
sional, or graduate instruction;
(d) which is separate and distinct, both in faculty
and operation, from any high school.
Oglethorpe University 37
2. Entrance or Admission:
A college shall demand for admission of candidates
for degrees the satisfactory completion of a four year
course (16 units from a four year high school or
twelve units from a three year senior high school) in
a secondary school approved by a recognized accred-
iting agency or the equivalent of such a course, as
shown by examination. The major portion of the sec-
ondary school course accepted for admission should be
definitely correlated with the curriculum to which the
student is admitted.
Persons over 21 years of age, who do not meet re-
quirements for admission, may be admitted to regular
college courses if the authorities of the college are
satisfied that such persons can carry the courses satis-
factorily. These shall be classified as special students
and shall not be admitted to candidacy for bachelor's
degrees until all entrance credits shall have been satis-
fied.
3. Graduation.
A college shall require for graduation the completion
of a minimum quantitative requirement of 120 semes-
ter hours of credit (or the equivalent in term hours,
quarter hours, points, majors, or courses) with fur-
ther qualitative requirements adapted by each insti-
tution to its conditions.
A semester hour is defined as a credit for work in a
class which meets for at least one sixty-minute period
(including ten minutes for change of classes) weekly
for lecture, recitation, or test for a semester of
eighteen weeks ( including not over two weeks for all
holidays and vacations). Two hours of laboratory
work should count as the equivalent of one hour of
lecture, recitation, or test.
38 Oglethorpe University
4. Degrees:
Small institutions should confine themselves to one
or two baccalaureate degrees. When more than one
baccalaureate degree is offered, all shall be equal in
requirements for admission and graduation. Institu-
tions of limited resources and inadequate facilities for
graduate work should confine themselves to strictly
undergraduate courses.
5. Permanent Records:
A system of permanent records showing clearly all
credits (including entrance records) of each student
shall be carefully kept. The original credentials filed
from other institutions shall be retained. As far as
possible, records of graduates should be kept.
6. Size of Faculty and Number of Departments:
A college of arts and sciences of approximately 100
students should maintain at least eight separate de-
partments with at least one professor in each devoting
his whole time to that department. The size of the
faculty should bear a definite relation to the type of
institution, the number of students, and the number of
courses offered. With the growth of the student body,
the number of full-time teachers should be correspond-
ingly increased. The development of varied curricula
should involve the addition of other heads of depart-
ments.
7. Training of Faculty:
Faculty members of professorial rank shall have not
less than one full year of graduate work, majoring in
the subject taught, in addition to a bachelor's degree
from a fully-accredited college, and should have two
years of training in an approved graduate school.
The training of the head of each department shall
Oglethorpe University 39
be that represented by two full years of graduate work
or its equivalent.
8. Faculty Load:
The number of hours of class room work given by
each teacher will vary in different departments. To
determine this, the amount of preparation required for
the class and the amount of time needed for study to
keep abreast of the subject, together with the number
of students, must be taken into account. Teaching
schedules, including classes for part-time students, ex-
ceeding 18 recitation hours or their equivalent per
week per instructor, will be interpreted as endangering
educational efficiency. Sixteen hours is the recom-
mended maximum load.
9. Size of Classes:
Classes (exclusive of lectures) of more than thirty
students should be interpreted as endangering educa-
tional efficiency.
10. Financial Support:
The minimum annual operating income for an ac-
credited college, exclusive of payment of interest, an-
nuities, etc., should be $30,000 of which not less than
$15,000 should be derived from stable sources, other
than students, such as permanent endowment, public
funds, or church support. Increase in faculty, stu-
dent body and scope of instruction should be accom-
panied by a corresponding increase of income from
such stable sources. The financial status of each col-
lege should be judged in relation to its educational
program.
A college that does not have such support from en-
dowment, church, state, or public sources must show,
for a period of three consecutive years immediately
preceding its application for accrediting, that its
40 Oglethorpe University
charges and expenditures are such as to show a min-
imum average annual net surplus of not less than
$15,000 from non-educational services, such as board,
room rents, etc., which may be used to supplement
tuition fees.
11. Library:
A college should have a live, well-distributed, ade-
quately housed library of at least 8,000 volumes, ex-
clusive of public documents, bearing specifically upon
the subjects taught, administered by a full-time pro-
fessionally trained librarian, and with a definite an-
nual appropriation for the purchase of new books.
12. Laboratories:
The laboratory equipment shall be adequate for all
the experiments called for by the courses offered in
the sciences, and these facilities shall be kept up by
means of an annual appropriation in keeping with the
curriculum.
13. General Equipment and Buildings:
The location and construction of the buildings, the
lighting, heating, and ventilation of the rooms, the
nature of the laboratories, corridors, closets, water
supply, school furniture, apparatus, and methods of
cleaning shall be such as to insure hygienic conditions
for both students and teachers.
14. Proportion of Students Candidates for Degrees:
No institution shall be admitted to the accredited
list, or continued more than one year on such list, un-
less it has a college registration of at least 100 regular
students. A notably small proportion of college stu-
dents registered in the third and fourth years will
constitute ground for dropping an instution from the
accredited list.
At least 75 per cent of the students in a college
Oglethorpe University 41
should be pursuing courses leading to baccalaureate
degrees. Provided, however, that this shall not apply
to students enrolled in extension, correspondence, or
other similar departments, not in regular course for a
degree, in an institution which otherwise meets these
standards.
15. Character of the Curriculum:
The character of the curriculum, the standards for
regular degrees, the conservatism in granting honor-
ary degrees, provision in the curriculum for breadth
of study and for concentration, soundness of scholar-
ship, the practice of scientific spirit including freedom
of investigation and teaching, loyalty to facts, and en-
couragement of efficiency, initiative and originality in
investigation and teaching, the tone of the institution,
including the existence and culture of good morals and
ideals, and satisfaction and enthusiasms among stu-
dents and staff shall be factors in determining its
standing.
16. Extra-Curricular Activities:
The proper administration of athletics, student pub-
lications, student organizations, and all extra-curricu-
lar activities, is one of the fundamental tests of a
standard college and, therefore should be considered in
classification.
17. Professional and Technical Departments:
When the institution has, in addition to the college
of arts and sciences, professional or technical depart-
ments, the college of arts and sciences shall not be ac-
cepted for the approved list of the State Department
of Education unless the professional or technical de-
partments are of approved grade, national standards
being used when available.
42 Oglethorpe University
18. Inspection and Reports:
Filing of Blank — No institution shall be placed on
the approved list unless a regular information blank
has been filed with the State Department of Education.
The blank shall be filed again for each of the three
years after the college has been approved, and trien-
nially thereafter, but the Department may for due
cause call upon any member to file a new report at any
time. Failure to file the blank as required shall be
cause for dropping an institution.
Inspection — No college will be placed on the ap-
proved list until it has been inspected and reported
upon by an agent or agents regularly appointed by the
State Department of Education. All colleges accred-
ited by the Department shall be open to inspection at
any time.
STANDARDS FOR JUNIOR COLLEGES
(This is printed for the benefit of prospective students who
expect to present credits from schools of junior college rank.)
1. Definition.
The junior college, in its present development, comprises
different forms of organization. First, a two-year institution
embracing two years of collegiate work in advance of the com-
pletion of an accredited secondary school course. The two-year
curricula of this type shall be equivalent in prerequisites,
methods, and thoroughness to those offered in the first two years
of an accredited four-year college. Second, an institution em-
bracing two years of standard collegiate work as defined above
integrated with one or two contiguous years of fully accredited
high-school work administered as a single unit.
2. Entrance or Admission.
A junior college shall demand for admission to the first col-
legiate class the satisfactory completion of a four year course
(15 units from a four year high school or twelve units from a
three year senior high school) in a secondary school approved
by a recognized accrediting agency or the equivalent of such a
Oglethorpe University 43
course shown by examination. The major portion of the sec-
ondary school course accepted for admission should be definitely
correlated with the curriculum to which the student is admitted.
For entrance to terminal or finishing courses in the two-year
junior college or the upper division of the four-year junior col-
lege the equivalent of fifteen units should be required. This
equivalent may be demonstrated by entrance examinations,
ability tests, or by the proven ability of the student to profit
by the instruction offered.
3. Graduation.
A junior college shall require for graduation the completion
of a minimum quantitative requirement of 60 semester hours
of credit (or the equivalent in term hours, quarter hours, points,
majors, or courses) with further qualitative requirements adap-
ted by each institution to its conditions.
A semester hour is defined as a credit given for work in a
class which meets for at least one sixty-minute period (in-
cluding ten minutes for change of classes) weekly for lecture,
recitation, or test for a semester of eighteen weeks (including
not over two weeks for all holidays and vacations). Two hours
of laboratory work should count as the equivalent of one hour
of lecture, recitation, or test.
4. Degrees.
No junior college shall grant degrees.
5. Permanent Records.
A system of permanent records showing clearly all credits
(including entrance records) of each student shall be carefully
kept. The original credentials filed from other institutions
shall be retained. As far as possible, records of gradutes should
be kept.
6. Size of Faculty and Number of Departments.
The junior college shall offer instruction in at least five sep-
arate departments. There shall not be fewer than five teachers
employed specifically for instruction in the upper level of the
junior college, giving the major portion of their time to such
instruction.
7. Training of Faculty.
The training of the members of the faculty shall include at
44 Oglethorpe University
least one year of graduate study majoring in the subject to be
taught, together with evidences of successful experience of ef-
ficiency in teaching.
8. Faculty Load.
The number of hours of class room work given by each teach-
er will vary in different departments. To determine this, the
amount of preparation required for the class and the amount
of time needed for study to keep abreast of the subject, together
with the number of students, must be taken into account.
Teaching schedules including classes for part-time students, ex-
ceeding 18 recitation hours or their equivalent per week per
instructor, will be interpreted as endangering educational ef-
ficiency. Sixteen hours is the recommended maximum load,
When a teacher devotes part-time to high school instruction
and part-time to college instruction his load shall be computed
on the basis of one high school unit for there year hours.
9. Size of Classes.
Classes (exclusive of lectures) of more than thirty students
should be interpreted as endangering educational efficiency.
10. Financial Support.
The minimum annual operating income for an accredited
junior college, exclusive of payment of interest, annuities, etc.,
should be $20,000 of which not less than $10,000 should be de-
rived from stable sources, other than students, such as per-
manent endowment, public funds, or church support. Increase
in faculty, student body, and scope of instruction should be ac-
companied by a corresponding increase of income from such
stable sources. The financial status of each junior college should
be judged in relation to its educational program.
A junior college that does not have such support from en-
dowment, church, state, or public sources must show, for a
period of three or more consecutive years immediately pre-
ceding its application for accrediting, that its charges and ex-
penditures are such as to show a minimum average annual net
surplus of not less than $10,000 from non-educational services,
such as board, room rents, etc., which may be used to supple-
ment tuition fees.
11. Lib vary.
A junior college should have a live, well-distributed, ade-
Oglethorpe University 45
quately housed, library of at least 3,000 volumes, exclusive of
public documents, bearing specifically upon the subjects taught,
administered by a full-time professionally trained librarian,
and with a definite annual appropriation for the purchase of
new bookss.
12. Laboratories.
The laboratory equipment shall be adequate for all the ex-
periments called for by the courses offered in the sciences, and
these facilities shall be kept up by means of an annual appro-
priation in keeping with the curriculum.
13. General Equipment and Buildings.
The location and construction of the buildings, the lighting,
heating, and ventilation of the rooms, the nature of the labor-
atories, corridors, closets, water supply, school furniture, ap-
paratus, and methods of cleaning shall be such as to insure
hygienic conditions for both students and teachers.
14. Number of Students.
No institution shall be admitted to the accredited list, or con-
tinued more than one year on such list, unless it has a regular
college registration of at least fifty students. A notably small
proportion of students registered in the final year, continued
over a period of several years, will constitute ground for drop-
ping an institution from the accredited list.
15. Character of the Curriculum.
The character of the curriculum, the standards for regular
degrees, the conservatism in granting honorary degrees, pro-
vision in the curriculum for breadth of study and for concen-
tration, soundness of scholarship, the practice of scientific
spirit including freedom of investigation and teaching, loyalty
to facts, and encouragement of efficiency, initiative and origi-
nality in investigation and teaching, the tone of the institution,
including the existence and culture of good morals and ideals,
and satisfaction and enthusiasms among students and staff shall
be factors in determining its standards.
16. Extra-Curricidar Activities.
The proper administration of athletics, student publications,
student organizations, and all extra-curricular activities is one
of the fundamental tests of a standard college and, therefore,
should be considered in classification.
46 Oglethorpe University
17. Professional and Technical Departments.
When the institution has, in addition to the college of arts
and sciences, professional, or technical departments, the junior
college shall not be accepted for the approved list of the State
Department of Education unless the professional or technical
departments are of approved grade, national standards being
used when available.
1%. ..Inspection and Reports.
Filing of Blank — No institution shall be placed on the ap-
proved list unless a regular information blank has been filed
with the State Department of Education. The blank shall be
filed again for each of the three years after the college has been
approved, and triennially thereafter, but the Department may
for due cause call upon any member to file a new report at any
time. Failure to file the blank as required shall be cause for
dropping an institution.
Inspection — No college will be placed on the approved list
until it has been inspected and reported upon by an agent or
agents regularly appointed by the State Department of Ed-
ucation. All colleges accredited by the Department shall be
open to inspection at any time.
COURSES OF INSTRUCTION AND REQUIRE-
MENTS FOR DEGREES
In the session of 1931-32 Oglethorpe University will
offer courses in the undergraduate classes of six
schools leading to the customary academic degrees.
The degree of Bachelor of Arts (A.B.) in the Liberal
Arts will be conferred upon those students satisfactor-
ily 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 and Journ-
alism will be given to those students who complete a
course including work in languages, literature and
journalism. The degree of Bachelor of Arts in Com-
Oglethorpe University 47
merce will be conferred upon those students who satis-
factorily complete a full four years' course in studies
relating particularly to business administration. The
degree of Bachelor of Arts in Education will be confer-
red upon those students who complete the studies in
the School of Education. The Degree of Bachelor of
Arts in Secretarial Preparation will be conferred upon
those students who complete the studies in that School.
By a careful study of the courses outlined below, the
student will be easily able to make the choice most
suitable to his tastes and probable future life.
In general, it may be suggested that students
preparing to enter such professions as the ministry
or law, will choose the A.B. course in Liberal Arts;
those looking forward to medicine, dentistry and other
scientific work, the A.B. course in Science; those ex-
pecting to enter the literary and journalistic field, the
A. B. Course in Literature, and those who intend to
spend their lives in the business world, the A. B. course
in Commerce, or the A. B. course in Secretarial Prep-
aration ; those who expect to teach, the A. B. 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 making of a life as distin-
guished from a living.
Graduates of standard normal schools or junior col-
leges are admitted to the junior class.
EXAMINATIONS, CREDITS, GRADUATION
Effective with the class entering September, 1931,
the new Oglethorpe plan of credits and examinations
48 Oglethorpe University
will go into effect. The traditional four year course of
study will be divided into two groups. The first two
years of work will be designated as the College Divis-
ion, and the remaining two years of work as the Uni-
versity Division. The teaching will be as heretofore
with similar schedules, with the customary lectures,
laboratory work, quizzes, and examinations. But the
marks attained at the close of the term are not entered
as credits for graduation, — only as an indication to the
student and the instructor of the character of work
being done. When the student appears to have satis-
factorily completed two years of work he will be rec-
ommended by the Dean of his department to the Fac-
ulty for a final, comprehensive examination, both writ-
ten and oral, on all subjects taken. Upon the satisfac-
tory completion of this test he will be awarded a certi-
ficate stating that he has completed the College Di-
vision of studies and may be admitted to the Univer-
sity Division. The same plan will be followed in the
University Division. Upon completion of a satisfac-
tory comprehensive examination the degree and di-
ploma will be conferred. It is believed that the new
system will incite the student to select and coordinate
his course of study as a whole, and to master it. The
inferior student will stand small chance of passing the
comprehensive examinations. In fact, he will not even
be recommended by his Dean for the examination, but
will be asked to do additional and better work to qual-
ify himself for graduation. Under the new plan cheat-
ing, cramming, and coasting will be less of a tempta-
tion, as ill gotten marks will avail nothing on the final
comprehensive examination. The new plan will be an
incentive to mastery and excellence.
Oglethorpe University 49
UNIVERSITY EXPENSES
Tuition
Effective for all students entering Oglethorpe on and
after September 1931, the tuition fees charged by the
University are the same in all departments and in all
schools, and are based upon the actual amount of in-
struction given to the student as measured by the time
devoted thereto by the instructors. The figure set is
$5.00 per term for each one hour per week. The
courses offered at the University usually run two,
three, or four hours per week. The charge per term
(approximately three months) for each one hour per
week course (usually called a minor) is $5.00. The
charge per term for each two hour per week course is
$10.00. The charge for each three hour per week
course for one term is $15.00. The charge per term
for each four hour per week course is $20.00 and the
charge per term for each seven hour per week course is
$35.00. Other courses in exact proportion. The charges
for work done in the laboratories, art departments,
etc., is one-half of above rates. Inasmuch as a complete
college and University course of four years, more or
less, calls for 66 week hours of instruction, equal to 66
minors, the total charge for the four years, more or
less, of instruction, including tuition, laboratory and
other college fees is approximately $247.50 per year.
The tuition charge includes tickets to all athletic
games played on the campus and to the annual per-
formance of the Oglethorpe Players Club.
Board and Room Rent
The dormitory facilities of Oglethorpe University
are the safest and most comfortable of those of cog-
nate institutions in the South. All permanent buildings
50 Oglethorpe University
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 partitions
of brick and hollow tile.
The prices named below are based upon two 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, with gen-
eral toilet and bath on the same floor. Each room con-
tains a lavatory furnishing hot and cold water. The
second grade is that of the second floor of the Admin-
istration 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, springs 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 accom-
modations and of table fare will permit. No fees
such as matriculation, library, hospital, contingent,
athletic, etc., are charged.
All students rooming in the dormitory are required
also to board in the college refectory but any student
not rooming on the college campus may take his meals
Oglethorpe University 51
in the University refectory upon payment monthly in
advance of the regular charge for board, Students
employed by the University must board and room on
the campus.
The charge for board and room rent combined is as
follows :
Administration Building, third floor; Lupton Hall,
third floor; and Lowry Hall, second and third floor,
$107.50 per term. Administration Building, second
floor $127.50 per term. The charge for board alone
is $81.50 per term. The cost of one meal ticket is
$.50— three for $1.00.
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. There is a University
physician who can be secured on short notice when his
services are needed. Students whose medical needs
exceed the facilities of the Infirmary find every re-
quirement satisfied by the hospitals of the city.
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
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.
52 Oglethorpe University
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 Oglethorpe
University, Georgia, the station being immediately 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 spe-
cial 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.
SUMMER SESSION
The summer term of Oglethorpe University meets
the requirements for regular students who desire to
speed up their courses or make up work that is un-
satisfactory. It also serves the large number of stu-
dents in the down town courses and teachers working
toward some degree.
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.
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-
Oglethorpe University 53
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 very
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 upon that of Bachelor of Arts of
Oglethorpe University or of some other approved in-
stitution. The candidate must have an aggregate of
fifteen hours/wf graduate work, with at least two Pro-
fessors; twoTriic 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
three years the University has established several cen-
ters of study in the city of Atlanta. Hundreds 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 a previously 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 Faculty shall
include only men of the highest intellectual attainment
as well as men of great teaching power and strong per-
sonal character.
54 Oglethorpe University
The President of the University will be pleased to
answer any inquiries as to graduate courses to be of-
fered.

THE LOWRY SCHOOL OF BANKING AND
COMMERCE
Leading to the degree of A.B. in Commerce
The aim of all instruction in the Lowry School of
Banking and Commerce is to furnish the general basis
of business facts, standards and theory which the be-
ginner finds it difficult or impossible to acquire in his
early business experience. It avoids any pretense of
covering fully the practical details and routine and the
special technique of the particular business or industry
which he will enter.
The Lowry School offers two regular courses of
study, the General Business Course and the Account-
ing course. The aim is to concentrate upon the fun-
damentals of business and with this in view every stu-
dent is required to obtain a thorough knowledge of the
basic subjects including accounting, finance, econom-
ics, and business law.
Those intending to teach commerce subjects in pub-
lic high schools should take a sufficient number of
electives in the field of Education to legally qualify
them for the Professional Teachers Certificate.

SCHOOL OF EDUCATION
Leading to the Degree of Bachelor of Arts (A.B.) in
Education
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 courses in shorthand and typewriting
to be taken as part of the electives in Junior or Senior
years or earlier by substitution, for secretarial careers,
or commercial teaching in high schools.

the command of good usable English for everyday use.
For either, good habits in the use of language are
essential, and are a prime consideration in the depart-
ment.

PRE-PROFESSIONAL COURSES
Students who are contemplating the profession of
law 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 professional schools. In
addition to the required high school units for college
entrance, professional students must complete one or
more years of college work, according to the require-
ments of the institution that they are planning to
enter. The attention of the prospective student, how-
ever, should be called to the fact that each year finds
it more necessary for the professional man to have a
thorough foundation for his professional studies, and
the professional schools are becoming more strict in
their requirements for entrance. Particularly is this
the case in medicine where the best colleges require a
diploma from a standard college for entrance. Having
this in mind Oglethorpe University has discontinued
its two year pre-medical 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 61.

Journalism.

tervening period. The study will include the mastery
of the history contained in the Bible, an analysis of
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 impart
such a knowledge of the subject as every intelligent
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.

SELF-HELP
Approximately fifteen per cent of the Oglethorpe
student body are "working their way through college
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 academic
duties, but where circumstances require it, many stu-
dents may undertake various tasks, payment 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 Ogle-
thorpe. Further details upon application.
ATHLETICS— HERMANCE FIELD
The magnificent generosity of Mr. and Mrs. Harry
P. Hermance in giving to Oglethorpe an Athletic Sta-
98 Oglethorpe University
dium, makes feasible the development of all forms of
field sports, including not only the great games of
football and baseball, but also vaulting, jumping, dis-
cus and javelin throwing, track work, etc. Physical
culture for all students will be required.
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 shores 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 ad-
mirably 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 pro-
vision is being made for football and baseball grounds,
tennis courts, etc. Work has been begun on Hermance
Stadium, and a section is now completed providing ac-
commodations for five thousand spectators and partici-
pants.
UNIVERSITY STORE
One of the interesting features of university life at
Oglethorpe is the Petrel Shop operated by a group of
Oglethorpe University 99
students, under the superintendence of the Faculty.
In the store are kept all 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 tri-
umph, 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 of Ogle-
thorpe is also blessed by the activities of the Petrel
Bible Class and frequent sermons and addresses by
visiting pastors and evangelists.

LIBRARIES
By the generosity of many friends, so great as to
be almost unparalleled, and by purchase from special
funds provided, the University received during the
first year of its life approximately fifty thousand
volumes for the library. These consist of stand-
ard works in Literature, History and Science, with
many valuable reference works in special departments.
The private libraries of Dr. Sellers in Science, of Dr.
Nicolassen in the Classics and of Dr. Burrows in Ed-
ucation 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 enlargement of the
library. A competent librarian is in charge and the
rooms will be open during the year of 1931-32 ap-
proximately ten hours per day. The Carneige Library
of Atlanta 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 incom-
parably 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-
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
Oglethorpe University
101
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 OGLETHORPE IDEA
Quality is the word that expresses the Oglethorpe
idea — quality in location, in climate, in campus, in ar-
chitecture, in student character, in college life, in ath-
letics and sports, in faculty, in curriculum and in re-
ligion 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 six hundred acres of woodland and mea-
dow, including an eighty acre lake which belongs
to our students for swimming, boating and fishing, the
physical advantages offered by Oglethorpe 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 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
Oglethorpe University 103
efficient college or university buildings in the South-
east.
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 intel-
lectual atmosphere created by such conditions and the
frequent opportunity of contact with these leaders in
all branches of human activity, offered frequently 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
are offered our students. The tremendous influence
of such contact upon the young lives committed to us
will be felt in increased ambition and redoubled de-
termination to perform, themselves, 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
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 inspiration
104 Oglethorpe University
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, rever-
ence and beauty may be expressed in the face of a
building 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 apart-
ments have exactly the same influence on the soul of
a boy that cheap, ugly and ill-equipped human com-
panions have. That is why the rooms at Oglethorpe
are handsomely furnished. The sons of the poor are
entitled to the information and inspiration such sur-
roundings offer, and the sons of the rich will deter-
iorate 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 defective.
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-
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 Ogle-
thorpe.
Oglethorpe University 105
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.
WOMAN'S BOARD
One of the most remarkable gatherings, even in this
city of remarkable gatherings, was the assembling of
approximately two hundred of the representative
women of the city of Atlanta at the home of President
Thornwell Jacobs, Saturday afternoon, November 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 workers
and most representative women of the city have of-
fered their services and joined the organization. Their
activities are directed toward the support and develop-
ment of Oglethorpe in every phase of its growth and
activities. Each of the ladies is assigned to the com-
mittee on which she feels best able to serve. These
committees cover the various departments of the Uni-
versity, and among them are: Ways and Means, Fi-
nance, Grounds, Press, Entertainment, Hospital, Music,
Library, Arts, Refreshments, Transportation, and such
other committees as it may seem wise to the Board
from time to time to appoint.
106 Oglethorpe University
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 value,
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.
The Woman's Board has established a permanent
endowment fund and is being incorporated under the
laws of Georgia in preparation for handling funds do-
nated or bequeathed to the University through the
Woman's Board.
Officers and Chairmen of the various committees
have been unanimously chosen as follows:
Mrs. Haynes McFadden, President; Mrs. J. M. High,
First Vice-President; Mrs. William Healey, Second
Vice-President; Mrs. Frank Inman, Third Vice-Pres-

sider such disposition.
There shall be a Board of Founders of such number as may

EXHIBIT "A"
Resolved by the Board of Trustees-Founders of Oglethorpe
University that paragraph 4, as it now reads in the original
charter thereof dated May 6, 1913, be stricken and in lieu
thereof, a new paragraph 4 shall be inserted as follows:
The corporate functions which shall mean the control of
the property of the corporation, its purchase, sale and other
disposition 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 in 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 disposi-
tion 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 giv-
en 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
contributing thereto, or in whose behalf there has been con-
tributed 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
eligible persons successors of the present Board of Founders;
to create an Executive Committee with authority to perform
Oglethorpe University ■ 125
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-
ministrative functions of the University. The present Board
of Trustees-Founders shall constitute the Board of Founders,
whose members and their successors shall hold for life unless
they are removed or resign.
Resolved further that the President of the Board of Trus-
tees-Founders be authorized and directed to take the necessary
steps to amend the Constitution of Oglethorpe University as
herein before resolved.

HISTORICAL
(From a copy of the Milledgeville Journal, September 5, 1837.
Presented to the University library by Miss Emma Thomas
of Athens, Georgia, the great-granddaughter of Mr. B. P.
Stubbs, Secretary, who signed the notice in behalf of the Ex-
ecutive Committee.)
OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY
It has already been announced, that this Institution will
commence its exercises on the first Monday of January, 1838.
The Board of Trustees, while again calling public attention
to this fact, offer some remarks in explanation to a new feature
which they have given to its character.
The University will consist of three departments, Collegiate,
Academic, and Primary.
Any person desirous of seeing the laws which govern the
Collegiate department, can obtain a copy of the pamphlet con-
taining them, by application to B. P. Stubbs, of this place, Sec-
retary and Treasurer of the Board.
Candidates for admission into the Freshman Class, must be
prepared to stand an examination on Caesar's Commentaries,
four books, Cicero's Select Orations, Mair's Introduction to
Latin Syntax, the Gospels in the Greek Testament, Dalzel's
Collections Graeca Minora, together with Latin and Greek
Grammar, including Latin Prosody; also, on English Gram-
mar, Arithmetic and Geography, ancient and modern.
The course of instruction in the several classes, will be as
follows, towit:
Freshman Class

(Provision will also be made for instruction in Modern
Languages.)
The Academic Department will consist of those who are
preparing for entrance into this or any other college.
The Primary Department will be composed of those pur-
suing the ordinary branches of an English education.
The students in these two departments, as well as the Col-
legiate, will be instructed by the Faculty of the College.
In consequence of this arrangement, boys, in the early stage
of their literary course, will enjoy advantages perhaps un-
surpassed in this country, as they will be taught by a regular
Faculty, while the students of the college will receive the full
amount of instruction ordinarily given them, as will be seen
by a reference to the course of study. This system will vastly
increase the labor of the Faculty; this labor they have how-
ever consented to undergo.
The adoption of this new plan has been caused by the pecu-
liar state of the times. Though the amount on our subscrip-
tion list is sufficient to warrant the commencement of the work
in its original form, yet from the present state of affairs, it
would have been more than indelicate to call upon many in-
dividuals for their subscriptions. On the other hand, many
parents have been making arrangements to send their sons to
Midway during the next year. Such persons it would be
painful to disappoint, yet it would be impossible to proceed
for want of surplus in hand. The course now announced as
being adopted, was then proposed — that is, to bring the Acad-
128 Oglethorpe University
emy and College under the government and instruction of the
fame President and Professors. By this arrangement the ex-
pense of the institution will be sustained, and all difficulties
in its way removed.
The Board of Trustees takes this occasion to say, that this
year the Steward's Hall will be discontinued. This is done,
that there may be no hindrance in the way of such persons as
may wish to move to Midway for the purpose of taking
boarders.
The Trustees close this communication by suggesting to
parents, (who desire their children to be educated, and who
cannot afford to send them abroad for this purpose) the pro-
priety of settling themselves at Midway. By taking boarders,
the expenses of their family could be more sustained, and
their children of all ages receive thorough and finished edu-
cation. To others disposed to turn their attention to keeping
boarders as a business, we would suggest that Midway offers
inducements inferior to few if any other positions at the South
— a healthy and delightful location, and as many boarders as
they may be able to accomodate.
By order of the Executive Committee.
B. P. STUBBS, Secretary.

Oglethorpe University 129
(It is believed that Oglethorpe University is the first ed-
ucational institution to offer full hour all day educational in-
struction. As a matter of historical interest, below is given the
radio announcement issued in the Spring of 1931, with the
courses offered. Students were enrolled in all these classes.
In all a total of 60 took the work, and the examinations in per-
son at stated intervals. An announcement is being prepared
for the radio lectures for the coming school year. Those inter-
ested are invited to send for a copy of the forthcoming an-
nouncement. Address all communications to President Thorn-
well Jacobs, Oglethorpe University, Georgia.)
RADIO DIVISION OF OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY
Announcement of Courses
Effective June 5th, 1931, Oglethorpe University in-
augurates a complete program of college education by
lectures over the radio, supported by correspondence,
conferences and examinations. These courses will be
conducted in a standard, permanent and systematic
manner and will be the full equivalent of similar
courses offered in the class rooms of the University.
The territory covered by the broadcasting station
will be that of greater Atlanta and the courses will be
offered on a convenient schedule during the mornings
and afternoons for six days of the week. The courses
to be offered which are summarized below are designed
to constitute the greater part of a standard college ed-
ucation. Until television has been successfully accomp-
lished it will be impossible to teach certain subjects
successfully over the radio; but such courses as those
in English, History, Education, Sociology, Modern and
Ancient languages will one by one be added to the
program.
The lecture periods will be the same as those in use
on the campus of the University and in the down town
classes. During the summer of 1931, the periods will
last for one hour.
130 Oglethorpe University
The tuition charge -is $15.00 per year hour (one
minor) the same as that for the other divisions of the
university. This means that a course, one hour per
day for six days of the week during a radio term (6
term hours) will cost $30.00. The applicant will be
enrolled as a regular student of Oglethorpe University
and will be notified as to what text or texts should be
purchased and be given general instructions as to how
to avail himself of the lectures offered. The schedule
of the radio courses will be forwarded to him or her
and will also be published in the local Atlanta news-
papers daily. The student who is a candidate for a col-
lege degree is required to do the work in a regular and
systematic manner, to attend the radio lectures reg-
ularly, make notes thereon, submit them to the profes-
sor in charge for examination and criticism, study the
texts and correspondence sheets furnished by the
University, meet the professor at convenient intervals
for conferences and guidance, either personally or by
telephone, stand the customary examinations at the
close of the work and, of course, pay the regular tu-
ition fees. After each lecture the student is supposed
to forward the notes made on the lecture immediately
by mail to the professor in charge for criticism and re-
view and is also expected to append thereto any
questions that he may desire to have answered and
this will be done by radio at the next lecture period.
Careful tests will be made to determine the exact
quality of the work done over the radio as compared
with that done in the present Extension department
and on the campus. Comparative results will show the
relative value of radio work and relative college credits
will be granted accordingly. In as much as it is con-
fidently believed that this work will be the full equiv-
Oglethorpe University 131
alent of that done in the other divisions equal course
credits will be given from the beginning and until and
unless the University finds that the work done differs
in quality from that done in other divisions of the
University. The radio division will be of equal stand-
ing, dignity and order with the undergraduate and
graduate departments of the University. The studio
has been installed on the University campus. The
equipment is the best purchasable with crystal control
and complete modulation and with it the University
has been assured that it will be possible to completely
cover with a dependable signal the territory of greater
Atlanta.
The Radio Division will be inaugurated beginning
with such courses as may be deemed most practicable
for radio instruction. The broadcasting station will
operate under the call letters WJTL being thus named
for Mr. John Thomas Lupton, donor of Lupton Hall in
which the station is located and donor also of the
equipment of the station itself. It will be perhaps the
only station in America which is operated exclusively
for educational purposes.

Georgia.
The History and Interpretation of the Bible by Dr.
D. Witherspoon Dodge, one hour per day for six days
per week. Two hours (2 minors). Tuition fee $30.00.
The purpose of this course is to show how the Bible,
as we now have it, came to be. It is a fascinating
story. The path of its composition winds all the way
through the handing down from one generation to
another of oral traditions, the gathering of oriental
132 Oglethorpe University
folk-lore, the collection of stories told by the family
fireside, the careful writing of historical documents by
priest and scribe, the re-editing of this material for
didactic and moralising purposes and its final codifi-
cation into the present separate books of the Bible. It
is no less a human than a divine process; and its in-
terest is all the greater for this reason. It embraces
practically every form of extant literature — story, al-
legory, poetry, historical document, essay, proverb,
novel, prophetic utterance and sermon. To trace the
record of the personal and social development of the
wonderful people whose history we have in the Bible,
will make of the Bible a new book.
Comparative Religions, Dr. D. Witherspoon Dodge.
One hour per day for three days per week. One hour
(one minor). Tuition charge $15.00.
A noted Frenchman once remarked that "man is
incurably religious." Indeed he is. It matters not in
what land we find him, he has his gods, his religious
ceremonies, his spiritual beliefs. To pass in review
these different religions of man will be the object of
this course. Study of the religious process from an-
imism, fetishism, taboo and totemism of primitive
people to the polytheism, monotheism and great spirit-
ual ideals and ways of life of the civilized nations, will
be made. The course will compass a thorough exam-
ination of the religions of India, China, Japan, Persia,
Babylonia, Assyria, Greece and Rome as well as of
Israel. One of the most interesting features of the
study will be the discovery of the many similarities as
well as the contrasts of other religions to that of
Christianity. The text-book to be used will be "The
History of Religions" by Professor E. Washburn Hop-
kins, Ph.D., LL.D. (MacMillan).
Oglethorpe University 133
The Story of the Earth and Its Inhabitants by Dr.
Thornwell Jacobs, one hour per day for three days per
week. One hour (one minor). Tuition charge $15.00
Text book:The New Science and the Old Religion,
Jacobs. (Oglethorpe University Press).
This course may well be described as a general in-
troduction to life. It is a study of the sciences chron-
ologically, beginning with astronomy and following the
geological history of the earth from its birth and then
of life on the earth as told in palaeontology, embryol-
ogy and anthropology, etc. It endeavors to answer the
questions, where we came from, what we are and
where we are going. It embodies the full story of ev-
olution and constantly compares the new knowledge
and the old faith. The endeavor is made to find a true
and honest harmony between science and religion.
Types of English Literature by Dr. James Routh.
One hour per day for three days per week. One hour
(one minor). Tuition charge $15.00.
In this course Dr. Routh will pass up the usual his-
torical treatment to come face to face at once with the
still more vital question, Why do men like literature
at all? And what is the psychology of their likes and
dislikes ?
The lectures will discuss the stage from the view-
points of author and audience, the short story and
novel from the same viewpoints, the feature article
and magazine essay, and if time permits, poetry. Hear-
ers who present themselves for examination will,' on
passing, receive three units of credit toward a college
degree.
Introduction to Sociology by Dr. Mark Burrows.
134 Oglethorpe University
One hour per day for three days of the week. One
hour (one minor). Tuition charge $15.00.
A course giving briefly the historical background
for the subject, and noticing next in the order of their
importance the large natural factors conditioning the
behavior of man, such as the geographic and climatic
factors, biological implications, and the psychological
and cultural foundations. The whole subject is treated
from the behavioristic standpoint. All this is to lead
to the problems of contemporary society of which
there are many, and most of them necessarily are of
a controversial nature. The course incidentally is to
afford training in open mindedness.
Beginners' Course in German by Dr. H. J. Gaertner,
one hour per day for six days per week. Two hours
(two minors). Tuition charge, $30.00.
The method of this course emphasizes speaking
ability. No formal grammar is allowed. The work
will begin with phrases so nearly like English that
their meaning is grasped directly without referring to
the English equivalent. The method has been success-
ful and has been elaborated by years of experience.
Psychology by Dr. H. J. Gaertner. One hour per day
for six days per week. Two hours (two minors). Tu-
ition charge $30.00.
This is a general foundation course. Methods for
obtaining the basic facts of the subject are treated.
The differences of schools of Psychology are discussed
and modern viewpoints emphasized.
Principles of Education by Dr. H. J. Gaertner. One
hour per day, six days per week. Two hours (two
minors). Tuition charge $30.00.
This course will study some of the theoretical back-
Oglethorpe University 135
grounds for school programs. The various back-
grounds of the past upon which curricula were based
and the newer, present bases should make this an in-
teresting subject especially for teachers and parents.
Banking and Business by Dr. Wallace McCook Cun-
ningham. One hour per day for three days per week.
One hour (one minor). Tuition charge $15.00.
This course covers the fields of money theory and
of banking fundamentals treated in the ordinary col-
lege course in money and banking. It differs from
such a course in holding the practical interest of the
business man constantly in view. For example, in
discussing the effects of the variation of the quantity
of gold and of bank credit upon the price level the ef-
fects upon the profits of various types of business are
shown. The relationship of the business man to his
bank and of the bank to the Federal Reserve and the
functions and services of the commercial trust, sav-
ings and investment departments of banks are ex-
plained and illustrated.
Markets and Prices by Dr. Wallace McCook Cunning-
ham. One hour per day for three days per week. One
hour (one minor). Tuition charge $15.00.
The course covers stock and commodity exchanges,
their activities, operations and functions, the factors
influencing security and commodity price levels and
the forecasting of such prices with special reference to
our present position in the business cycle. The type
of subjects covered is illustrated by the following lec-
ture topics:
1. The language of exchanges and of speculation.
2. The characteristics of stocks and of bonds.
3. The nature and value of a continuous market.
136 Oglethorpe University
4. The short sale and its economic and social
functions.
5. The regulation of brokerage transactions and the
conduct of brokers.
6. The money market in its relation to security-
prices.
Corporation Finance and Investments by Dr. Wal-
lace McCook Cunningham. One hour per day for six
days per week. Two hours (two minors). Tuition
charge $30.00.
This course gives the student an insight and know-
ledge of the formation of corporations, their structure
and management, the qualities of the various types of
stocks and bonds and their status as regards market-
ability, safety of principal and certainty of income. In
brief it gives the information most needed by the in-
vestor. Special attention will be given to the various
types of fraudulent promotions and the ear marks of
fraudulent issues will be described in detail.
Beginner's Course in Conversational French by
Mademoiselle Madeline Groleau, one hour per day, for
six days per week. Two hours (two minors) tuition
charge $30.00. It is a well known fact, accepted by
all educators that languages can best be taught
through the ear so that the Radio is an ideal means of
learning to speak a foreign language. In this way the
entire attention is fixed on the sound of the word,
phrase and the sentence.
Beginner's Course in Conversational Spanish by
Professor Francisco Perez, one hour per day, six days
per week. Two hours (two minors) tuition charge
$30.00. The Spanish language lends itself especially
Oglethorpe University 137
well to instruction by Radio. The Professors of Mod-
ern languages are careful to pronounce and spell all
words which may be mistaken. Our experience so
far has proven that the language can be taught over
the Radio as well and perhaps better than in the
average college class room.
Method of Registration
All persons desiring to take the Radio courses in a
regular and systematic manner should fill out the
matriculation sheet supplied on request and mail it
accompanied by a check to cover the course or courses
desired as stated above. It is not necessary in order
to take these courses for one to become a candidate
for a degree immediately. Later on if you desire to do
so, the proper credentials can be supplied to the regis-
trar, enabling any student to qualify as a candidate
for the bachelor's degree. All students desiring to do
this work in a systematic manner should provide them-
selves immediately with a good loose leaf notebook and
with such texts as may be required by the professors
in charge. All professors may be reached by day over
the University phone and by night at their homes.
Notes must be taken on all lectures and must be mailed
to the professor of the subject taken the following day
as evidence of attendance on classes and for purposes
of correction and advice. All students who are can-
didates for degrees are required to take the final, gen-
eral comprehensive examinations such as are required
in all other departments of the University.
All courses at Oglethorpe University, whether by
radio, on the campus or by extension are of equal value
and quality and may be used interchangeably for cred-
it toward degrees upon approval of the dean of the de-
partment in which the student is working.
