I The Prayer |
I Of Oglethorpe University |
f FATHER OF WISDOM, MASTER OF THE SCHOOLS OF MEN, OF |
1 THINE ALL-KNOWLEDGE GRANT ME THIS MY PRAYER: THAT I
□ =
I I MAY BE WISE IN THEE. SINK THOU MY FOUNDATIONS |
i DEEP INTO THY BOSOM UNTIL THEY REST UPON THE VAST |
I ROCK OF THY COUNSEL. LIFT THOU MY WALLS INTO THE |
i CLEAR EMPYREAN OF THY TRUTH. COVER ME WITH THE |
I WINGS THAT SHADOW FROM ALL HARM. LAY MY THRESH- |
i OLDS IN HONOR AND MY LINTELS IN LOVE. SET THOU MY |
I FLOORS IN THE CEMENT OF UNBREAKABLE FRIENDSHIP AND |
I MAY MY WINDOWS BE TRANSPARENT WITH HONESTY. LEAD §
I THOU UNTO ME, LORD GOD, THOSE WHOM THOU HAST AP- |
= POINTED TO BE MY CHILDREN, AND WHEN THEY SHALL |
I COME WHO WOULD LEARN OF ME THE WISDOM OF THE |
I YEARS, LET THE CRIMSON OF MY WINDOWS GLOW WITH |
I THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. LET THEM SEE, 0 MY LORD, |
I HIM WHOM THOU HAST SHOWN ME; LET THEM HEAR HIM |
I WHOSE VOICE HAS WHISPERED TO ME AND LET THEM REACH |
I OUT THEIR HANDS AND TOUCH HIM WHO HAS GENTLY LED |
i ME UNTO THIS GOOD DAY. ROCK-RIBBED MAY I STAND FOR |
= THY TRUTH. LET THE STORMS OF EVIL BEAT ABOUT ME |
1 IN VAIN. MAY I SAFELY SHELTER THOSE WHO COME UNTO |
I ME FROM THE WINDS OF ERROR. LET THE LIGHTNING THAT |
I LIES IN THE CLOUD OF IGNORANCE BREAK UPON MY HEAD |
I IN DESPAIR. MAY THE YOUNG AND THE PURE AND THE |
I CLEAN-HEARTED PUT THEIR TRUST SECURELY IN ME NOR |
I MAY ANY WHO COME TO MY HALLS FOR GUIDANCE BE |
I SENT ASTRAY. LET THE BLUE ASHLARS OF MY BREAST |
i THRILL TO THE HAPPY SONGS OF THE TRUE-HEARTED AND |
I MAY THE VERY HEART OF MY CAMPUS SHOUT FOR JOY |
1 AS IT FEELS THE TREAD OF THOSE WHO MARCH FOR GOD. |
I ALL THIS I PRAY THEE; AND YET THIS MORE: THAT THERE |
1 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
the Board of Directors. The property is legally held
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
matters of large importance to 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 thousand
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.

Oglethorpe University 15
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
Presbyteranism 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 Ogle-
thorpe College in 1835 when Midway Hill, in the sub-
urbs 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 sci-
16 Oglethorpe University
entist; Samuel K. Talmadge, the eminent administra-
tor, and many others. It is, perhaps, the chief glory
of Old Oglethorpe that ofter three years of instruction
she graduated Sidney Lanier in the famous class of
1860 and that he was a tutor to her sons until 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 Oglethorpe through
the influence of Dr. Woodrow. Her other eminent
alumni include governors, justices, moderators of the
General Assembly, discovers, inventors 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 twenty-one 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-sacrificing
liberality on the part of over five thousand people.
The corner stone of Oglethorpe University was laid
on January 21, 1915, with her trustful motto engraved
upon it: "Manu Dei Resurrexit" (By the Hand of
God She Has Risen From the Dead).
Oglethorpe University 17
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 was formed. The work of raising funds
and new construction goes steadily on. And all of
this has been done in the midst of financial disaster
that has darkened the spirit of the whole nation.
The Romance of Her Resurrection
The story of the resurrection of Oglethorpe reads
like a romance. Beginning only twenty-two 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 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 was told in
101 cities and towns, and all over the South from Gal-
veston, Texas, to Charlottesville, Virginia, and from
Marshall, Missouri, to Bradenton, Florida, each one
of them giving $1,000.00 or more to the enterprise ; the
splendid triumph of the Atlanta campaigns; all this is
18 Oglethorpe University
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. 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.
It will be seen that the architects and landscape
artists spared no pains to make it one of the really
beautiful universities of America. The architecture
is Collegiate Gothic; the building material it 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 en-
trance. 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 de-
sign 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
Oglethorpe University 19
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 Road 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 something
over $100,000. Like all the other Oglethorpe build-
ings it is constructed of granite, trimmed with carved
limestone. The seats are of reinforced concrete. This
first section which seats about five thousand, com-
prises approximately one-ninth of the total seating
capacity, when completed it will have cost something
like $750,000 and will have a seating capacity of ap-
proximately that of the Roman Colosseum, 45,000. It
is named in honor of Dr. and Mrs. Harry P. Hermance,
Hal Hermance and Miss Helena Hermance, 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
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.
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 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 set of chimes on any college
campus in Georgia. Concerts on the chimes are given
daily and are broadcast over station WJTL.
Radio Station
By the generosity of Dr. John Thomas Lupton, there
has been installed in Lupton Hall a complete Radio
Oglethorpe University 21
Broadcasting Station, WJTL, the Radio Division of
Oglethorpe University. The purpose of the installa-
tion 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
May 24, 1931, and a complete statement of its scope
and the courses offered will be found elsewhere in
this catalogue.
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-
mands 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
22 Oglethorpe University
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-
representative and cosmopolitan American corps of
Teachers.

Oglethorpe University 35
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 fprward 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 observa-
tion, inspection and investigation.
The campus consists of approximately six hundred
and fifty acres of land, including an eighty acre lake
which is situated in the northwestern section of the
campus. It is located on Peachtree Road, and immed-
iately in front of the entrance 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 build-
ing to be located on the campus, the Administration
Building, contains in the basement a dining room; on
the ground floor, chemistry and physics lecture rooms
and laboratories and the Bursar's office and lounging
room for young ladies attending the college; on the
36 Oglethorpe University
second and third floors, the hospital and dormitories.
Lupton Hall consists of three separate structures which,
combined, contain the library, the President's office,
radio transmitting and broadcasting rooms, class
rooms, dormitories, an Assembly Hall seating approx-
imately six hundred, equipped also as a theatre for the
presentation of student dramas, and in the basement
basketball court, swimming pool, lockers and showers,
and quarters for the University Press. The Univer-
sity Press is equipped with a Babcock optimus press,
linotype machine and two job presses, with a number
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 Corpus Christi
College, Oxford, the alma mater of James Edward
Oglethorpe. It contains class rooms and dormitories,
and will stand as a perpetual memorial to the gener-
osity of Colonel R. J. Lowry and Emma Markham Low-
ry.

sue special courses not leading to a degree may do so
as unregistered students upon the passage of an exam-
ination or examinations satisfactory to the Dean of the
department in which the work is to be done.
The minimum number of subjects permitted is
twelve clock-hours per week.
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 of granting charters to new or pro-
posed higher educational institutions under the pro-
visions of Section 14 of the Georgia Code.**
(b) A basis for preparing an approved list of teacher-
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
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
* These standards have been adopted by Oglethorpe Univer-
sity and are effective as of September 23, 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 Geogia 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.
40 Oglethorpe University
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.
(a) 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.
2. Entrance or Admission:
A college shall demand for admission of candidates
for degrees 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
Oglethorpe University 41
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 shall count as the equivalent of one hour of
lecture, recitation, or test.
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-
42 Oglethorpe University
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
the 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 professional 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
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
Oglethorpe University 43
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 endanger-
ing 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. Increiase 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
charges and expenditures are such as to show a min-
imum average annual net surplus of not less that
$15,000 from non-educational services, such as board,
44 Oglethorpe Unive21sity
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 institution from the
accredited list.
At least 75 per cent of the students in a college
Oglethorpe University 45
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 enthusiasm among stu-
dents and staff shall be factors in determining its
standing.
16. Extra-Curricular Activites:
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 colleges 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.
46 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 aj)-
proved list until it has been inspected and reported
upon by the 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.
Oglethorpe University was the first educational in-
stitution in Georgia to be inspected and fully accredited
by the State Board of Education after the adoption of
the above Standards, following the approval of them by
all the educational institutions in the commonwealth.
Oglethorpe University 47
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 insti-
tution embracing two years of standard collegiate work as de-
fined above integrated with one or two continuous 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
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
college 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 adapt-
ed 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 desrees.
48 Oglethorpe University
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.
The junior college shall offer instruction in at least five sep-
arate departments. There shall not be fewer than five teach-
ers 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 members of the faculty shall include at
least one year of graduate study majoring in the subject to be
taught, together with evidence 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 diff'erent 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 of 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 three 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.
Ogletthorpb University 49
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
expenditures are such as show a minimum average annual
net surplus of not less than $10,000 from non-educational ser-
vices, such as board, room rents, etc., which may be used to
supplement tuition fees.
11. Library.
A junior college should have a live, well-distributed, ade-
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 books.
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 standard 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 originality
in investigation and teaching, the tone of the institution, in-
cluding the existence and culture of good morals and ideals,
and satisfaction and enthusiasm among students and staff shall
be factors in determining its standards.
50 Oglethorpe University
16. Extra-Curricular 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.
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 lists of the State
Department of Education unless the professional or technical
departments are of approved grade, national standards being
used when available.
18. 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 the 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
Requirements For Degrees
In the session of 1935-36 Oglethorpe University will
offer courses in the undergraduate classes of nine
schools leading to the customary academic degrees.
The degree of Bachelor of Arts (A.B.) in 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 languages. 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-
Oglethorpe University 61
alism will be given to those students who complete a
course includ|ing work in languages, literature and
journalism. The degree of Bachelor of Arts in Com-
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.
The degree of Bachelor of Arts in the Fine Arts will
be given to those students who complete the require-
ments in the School of Fine Arts. A diploma, but not a
degree, is given to students completing a two-year
course in Art.
The degree of Bachelor of Arts in Physical Edu-
cation will be given to those students specializing in
that department; and the degree of Bachelor of Arts
in Radio Broadcasting to students receiving special
training as engineers, program directors and station
managers.
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 pre-
paring 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-
52 Oglethorpe UNiviaisiTY
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
went into effect. The traditional four year course of
study is now divided into two groups. The first two
years of work are designated as the College Division,
and the remaining two years of work as the Uni-
versity Division. The teaching remains 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 the 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 receive the title of
Associate in Arts and a certificate stating that he has
completed the College Division of studies and may be
admitted to the University Divison. The same plan will
be followed in the University Division. Upon completion
Oglk-horpb Unitersity 53
of a satisfactory comprehensive examination the degree
and diploma will be conferred. It is believed that the
new system will incite the student to select and coordin-
ate 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.
All transfer credits in order to be acceptable to
Oglethorpe University must come from standard insti-
tutions of at least junior college or normal grade.
In determining the rating of both high schools and
colleges for any given year the University is governed
by the rulings of the Department of Education of the
State of Georgia.
Transfer credits are allowed only for courses which
parallel those given at Oglethorpe.
Definite transcripts are required for admission both
to the graduate and under-graduate divisions.
The Atlanta School System has asked that teachers
take work only Friday and Saturday, not definitely
limiting the amount of credit. Fifteen to eighteen col-
lege hours is considered a reasonable amount of work
for a pupil giving all his time to instruction. There-
fore, as teachers are supposed to give at least half of
their time to their teaching and to its preparation,
we do not feel that any teacher in service should try
to carry more than seven and a half or nine college
hours' work a year as a maximum, not including sum-
mer school work. When it is understood that this
54 Oglethorpe University
means seven and a half to nine hours of class room
work a week, not to mention the preparation involved,
it will be seen that this is reasonable.
All candidates for all degrees are required, in ad-
dition to passing such examinations, quizzes, tests,
etc., as may be prescribed by the professors in charge
of the courses taken, to stand a final, comprehensive
written examination, covering the last two years of
their course. If and when these examinations have
been successfully passed the candidate is required to
stand an oral examination of the same general com-
prehensive nature before a committee of the faculty
and in the case of candidates for the Master's degree,
to submit a thesis of a nature satisfactory to a special
committee of the Faculty, appointed to review same.
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 clock hour of instruction
per week The courses offered at the University
usually run two, three, or four clock 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 week term for each seven
hour per week course is $35.00 ; other courses in exact
proportion. The charges for work done in the laborator-
ies, art departments, etc., are one-half of above rates.
Inasmuch as a complete college and university course
of four years, more or less, calls for 66 year hours of
instruction, equal to 66 minors, the total charge for the
four years, more or less, of instruction, including tu-
ition, laboratory and other college fees, is approximate-
ly $247.50 per year. The tuition charge includes tick-
ets to all athletic games played on the campus and to
the annual performance of the Oglethorpe Players
Club. There are no other fees. All tuition charges are
payable quarterly in advance and no rebates are given.
Board and Room Rent
The dormitory facilities of Oglethorpe University
are among the safest and most comfortable of those of
cognate institutions in the South. All permanent build-
ings 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 rates 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
Oglhthorpb Univkrsity 57
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 comfort-
able.
The furniture is of substantial quality and is approx-
imately the same for all rooms, including chiffonier,
study-table, chairs, single beds, springs and mattresses.
Room linen, pillows and bed clothing are furnished by
the student. Applications for rooms should be filed as
early as possible. For reservation of room inclose $5.00
reservation fee (non-returnable) to be credited on first
payment for room rent.
All students rooming in the dormitories are required
also to board at the college cafeteria and any student
not rooming on the college campus may take his or
her meals at the cafeteria. Students employed by the
University must board and room on the campus.
The charge for board and room rent per term is as
follows :
The Administration Building, third floor, Lupton
Hall, third floor, and Lowry Hall, second and third
floors (two or more to the room) $108.50. Administra-
tion Building, second floor $128.50 per term (two or
more to the room) . The charge for board only is $82.50
per term minimum, subject to the customary discounts.
This is furnished in the form of meal tickets in amount
of $82.50 per term. Additional tickets may be pur-
chased by the student, if desired. No rebate is given
on unused meal tickets and no transfer of use of meal
tickets from one term to another or from one student
58 Oglethorpe University
to another is allowed. All charges are payable in ad-
vance by the term, of approximately ten weeks as per
college calendar, and no rebate is allowed for any rea-
son. The particular attention of the students is called
to the fact that the issuance of these meal tickets is
for their convenience, solely that they are good only
for meals taken during the term for which they are
issued and that the charge for them is $82.50 per term
and is not subject to rebate of any kind on account of
the failure of students to use the tickets which are
furnished them.
Expenses: The University reserves the right to raise
or lower any and all charges, to discontinue any and
all discounts and scholarships, to cancel any and all
contracts for self-help work and to lower or raise cafe-
teria prices at will, as conditions may require.
All charges are based upon and payable by the term,
in advance, not by the month or year. The lengths of
terms are specified in the college calendar. When pay-
ments are permitted under special conditions the obli-
gation of the student to meet deferred payments is
not thereby impaired. Such special privileges of pay-
ment will be withdrawn in all cases where students
fail to make same without previous billing or notice.
A penalty of $5.00 is assessed on all students attending
classes without having settled their account in advance
and $1.00 per day of absence (maximum five dollars)
for delayed registration for the Winter and Spring
terms. If a student attends a single class, occupies a
dormitory room for a single night or purchases a cafe-
teria ticket, the contract for that term is thus made
binding and no rebate of any kind will be allowed on
board (cafeteria meal tickets), room rent, tuition or
college fees for that term.
Oglethorpe University 59
A special "depression cash discount" of twenty-five
per cent will be granted to those students rooming on
the campus, who hold no self-help position and re-
ceive no aid from University loans or scholarship
funds. The University reserves the right to lower or
raise any and all charges if, when and as economic
conditions may require.
The University discourages the occupation of one
room by more than two students and no reduction in
room rent is permitted on that account except in the
case of very large rooms furnished barracks style.
The University cafeteria furnishes a liberal assort-
ment of food at moderate prices, varying with the At-
lanta market. The cost is further reduced by liberal
discounts, conditions of obtaining which will be fur-
nished upon application to the cashier or bursar.
Student Activities Fee
The expenses at Oglethorpe University are made as
low as the quality of the instruction, of rooming ac-
commodations and of table fare will permit. No fees
such as matriculation, library, hospital, contingent,
athletic, etc. are charged. The only exception to this
rule is a fee of $7.50 per term (on which no discount
is allowed to anyone) which is used to defray various
expenses connected with student activities such as:
equipment and expenses of intra-mural games and
teams, and of inter-collegiate football, baseball, and
basketball teams; expenses of debating teams; ex-
penses of dramatic club ; expenses of the glee club, band
and orchestra ; and a subscription to the Stormy Petrel
and Yamacraw, if and when published by the Univer-
sity Press. This fee also provides each student with
60 Oglethorpb Unitbrsity
a ticket to all inter-collegiate games played by Ogle-
thorpe teams in Atlanta and provides for his partici-
pation without other charge in such intra-mural sports
as the program offers.
Caution Deposit
A deposit of $5.00 is required of all boarding students
upon registration, which will be refunded at the close of
the session in the following June, less a proportionate
amount deducted for such damages to buildings and
equipment and such losses or removal of equipment as,
in the opinion of the officers of the college, has been
done by the students. No discount is allowed, either
on the caution deposit or the athletic fee.
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 rates for students, yet we
assume no responsibility beyond such services as our
college physician and college infirmary are able to ren-
der.
Oglethorpe University 61
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 spec-
ial 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 teach-
ers working toward degrees.
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-
62 Oglethorpe University
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,
in the 500's. This degree is based upon that of Bache-
lor of Arts of Oglethorpe University or of some other
approved institution. The candidate must have an ag-
gregate of fifteen hours of graduate work, with at least
two Professors; all this work must be done with Ogle-
thorpe. In addition a thesis is required. But the de-
gree is not guaranteed at the end of a fixed period of
time. A certain amount of work must be accomp-
lished, and the quality of it must be such as to satisfy
the Professors concerned and the whole Faculty.
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.
Students entering the Graduate School in selecting
their major courses must present not less than two
years (six year hours) of under-graduate work in the
same or closely related subjects evidenced by official
transcripts from standard institutions recognized as
such by the Department of Education of the State of
Georgia. In addition to this the student must have
had one year (three year hours) of work in any sub-
ject selected as a minor.
Oglethorpe University 63
A class that meets once a week during the session
of nine months, carries a credit of one hour (one year
hour.) A class that meets three times a week (three
clock hours) during a term carries a credit of one hour
(one term hour).
A minimum of fifteen college hours or one year of
work and a minimum of one year (nine months) of resi-
dence is required for the Master's degree. A minimum
of one year's or approximately nine months' residence
is required also for the Bachelor's degree. Of the
fifteen hours required for the Master's degree not less
than nine shall be devoted to the major subject and
the other six or more selected by the advice and coun-
sel of the Dean of the Department in which the student
is working. In addition a satisfactory thesis must be
presented to the Faculty Committee upon a subject
approved by them and filed with the Committee not less
than ten days before the date of graduation.
The President of the University will be pleased to
answer any inquiries as to graduate courses to be
offered.

about one book of the Anabasis, and to have had con-
siderable practice in translating English into Greek.

ute study of the verbs, their principal parts, synopsis
of tenses, and inflection of certain portions.

quired once a week. On the other days a short oral
exercise of this kind forms a part of the lesson; so

ments for entrance into these courses are given else-
where in this catalogue, under the head of Graduate
School.

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 his 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.

years by Psychology, Ethics, Evidences of Christ-
ianity, and History of Philosophy.

School of Literature and Journalism
James E. Routh, Dean
Leading to the degree of bachelor of arts in general
literary culture, professional, literary and newspaper
practice, and preparation for the study of law in law
schools that require literary prerequisites. No Latin
is required for entrance. Literary students desire an
increased appreciation of literature, but they also wish
the command of good usable English for everyday use.
For either, good habits in the use of language are es-
sential, and are a prime consideration in the depart-
ment.
The work in English in the college division is de-
signed to give students a mastery of their own tongue
for speaking and writing, and to familiarize them with
the best English literature. The elective courses,
given mainly for students in the university division,
provide intensive study in special fields. The summer
courses, though not identical with the winter courses,
are planned along similar lines. This will enable a
student to complete a portion of his requirements for
a degree in the summer.
For graduate students work is offered leading to the
degree of A.M. See Page 76.
English
English 111-2-3. Composition. Practice in speak-
ing and writing, with collateral study of masterpieces
of modern prose. The chief object of the course is to
teach the student to arrange his thoughts clearly and
present them with force. He is also encouraged to en-
large his vocabulary and his stock of ideas by the read-
ing of good essays. Three hours. Routh, Lanier and
Harrison.
76 Oglethorpe University
English 311-2. The Writing of News. A course for
the best English and American poetry and prose, with
special attention to style, philosophic content and the
historical development of literature. The course is
designed to complete the student's general study of
literature, and at the same time introduce him to
the specialized courses which follow. Three hours. Pre-
requisite: English 111-2-3. Routh.

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 into 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. 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 the Bachelor of Arts in Science, outlined
on page 89.

as other colleges have entered the teaching profession.
Much of the work being psychological and humanis-
tic, the dicipline of this school is a preparation for
various lines of work beside that of teaching. This
school is a good preparation for 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 the third or
fourth year or earlier by substitution, for secretarial
careers, or commercial teaching in high schools.

School of Physical Education
Leading to the Degree of Bachelor of Arts (A.B.) in
Physical Education
Donald Harper Overton, Dean
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 training, equipping them for
positions as Physical Directors in other schools, col-
leges and universities and in Y. M. C. A.'s and the
Army.
For the special preparation of students for positions
as physical directors and coaches in high schools, prep
schools and universities, a regular curriculum has been
arranged offering instruction in certain subjects, the
completion of which will lead to a degree of Bachelor
of Arts in Physical Education.
Department of Science
The work of this Department is designed especially
for students of Physical Education. The courses are
planned to awaken in the student an interest that shall
be more compelling than that of a prescribed course.
To this end instruction is based in so far as possible on
direct observations made in demonstrations. Each
organ is studied with reference to its development,
anatomy and physiology. Bones, muscles, viscera, etc.,
have meaning when introduced in the light of their
development. The facts observed are discussed in
lectures and quizzes. Free use is made of charts, models,
anatomical preparations and microscopic slides. Week-
ly quizzes are supplemented by written tests given upon
114 Oglethorpe University
the completion of some general division of the subject.
Biology 131-2-3. Physiology and Personal Hygiene.

Intramural Athletics
In order to extend the benefits of organized ath-
letic competition to all students of Oglethorpe Uni-
versity, instead of only to those who take part in
intercollegiate competition, the Department of Physi-
cial Education sponsors the program of Intramural
Athletics.
The purpose of the intramural department is to en-
courage every student to participate in some or all
intramural sports, to provide facilites for this par-
ticipation, to organize and promote intramuural com-
petition, and to stand for fair play and true sports-
manship.
This program includes competitive sports for every
student on the campus. Students thus benefit from
the wholesome effect of organized sports, and from the
physical development whch naturally follows.
Oglethorpe University
115
i
Intramural competitors, strangers at first but later
friends, learn courage, determination, and self control.
Qualities of loyalty, self-sacrifice and team play are
also thoroughly ingrained in each individual through
this program.
The fact that the intramural program provides con-
tinuous competition in some sport throughout the
school year assures each participating student of phys-
ical exercise every day of the school year.

Scholarships for Athletics
We are constantly receiving inquiries from pros-
pective students concerning "athletic scholarships."
The only scholarships offered by the University are
given as rewards for exceptional high school and col-
lege attainment. The only way in which a football or
baseball player can receive aid at Olgethorpe is in the
same way that other students are aided, by such self-
help jobs as it may be possible for them to fill con-
sistent with their week-end absences. These positions
pay from twenty to forty cents per hour and if oc-
cupied industriously and efficiently will cover the stu-
dent's college expenses in large part. The university
must necessarily assign self-help students taking part
in inter-collegiate athletics to such self-help positions
as their engagements may permit them to hold.
Our endeavor and policy is to treat all students ex-
actly alike, neither favoring nor discriminating against
a boy who happens to be a fine football player.
Rules for Eligibility of Players in Inter- Collegiate
Sports at Oglethorpe University
1. All students engaging in intercollegiate sports
must be fully registered and qualified under the en-
trance requirements of the University as published
in the catalogue.
2. All students engaging in intercollegiate sports
must carry at least twelve hours (24 semester hours)
of standard college work.
3. All students engaging in varsity intercollegiate
sports must have passed not less than twelve hours
of work during the preceding year, or under the new
Oglethorpe University 117
system of Education must have tentatively passed
said amount by tentative figures furnished the Regis-
trar by the faculty.
4. No student at Oglethorpe University shall be
shown any preferences financially or academically be-
cause of engaging in inter-collegiate athletics, but the
fact that the student engages in intercollegiate sports
shall not prejudice his selection in self-help positions
open to all members of the student body.
5. Oglethorpe University will not, under any cir-
cumstances, permit the payment of any moneys for
the services of athletes, either by alumni, friends, or
by the college itself.
6. The University assumes no responsibility for in-
juries to students who engage in inter-collegiate ath-
letics, but in lieu thereof will remit to those students
who make the varsity or the first year squad a sum
equivalent to their room rent, which sum is remitted
for the purpose of paying hospital, doctor, dentist
bills, etc., in case of injuries or treatments made neces-
sary by their participation in any game and personal
assumption of the risks thereby involved.
118 Oglethorpe University
School of Radio Broadcasting
J. A. Aldrich, Dean
Oglethorpe University now includes a School of
Radio Broadcasting, especially designed to prepare stu-
dents for the technical, the commercial, the production
and the managerial departments of radio work. Four
distinct courses are offered.
The first (I), a one year course, prepares the
student to obtain a government license of the commer-
cial second class or of the unlimited broadcast class.
This course is outlined below.
The second (II), a two year course, prepares the
student for the position of program director and at
the same time enables him to obtain a junior college
diploma.
The third, (III), prepares the student for the posi-
tion of studio manager. To courses II and III, an extra
year, (IV) may be added, at the successful completion
of which the student will receive the degree of Bachelor
of Arts in Radio Broadcasting. Courses II, III, and
IV are required for the degree.
It is believed that this is the first school of Aerial
Journalism ever established.
Oglethorpe University is the first college in America
to plan systematic college work leading to proficiency
in Radio Studio Management and Program Directing.
Students who heretofore have had to attend technical
schools of radio can now get this work in connection
with such college studies as they may wish to take, in
addition, for a liberal education. Those who are es-
pecially ambitious may get a college degree while spe-
cializing in radio practice and qualifying for a calling
or profession.
Oglethorpe University 119
The Station WJTL of Oglethorpe has provided first
hand information and familiarity with actual work;
because of the existence in Atlanta of the radio region-
al director's office, licenses issued by the Government
can be passed on in Atlanta.
The courses outlined below are founded upon stand-
ard college work in Physics, Chemistry, English, for-
eign languages and business courses. To these have
been added certain special courses necessary for equip-
ping the student professionally in the art and business
of broadcasing.
The work is under the direction of the radio staff
of WJTL and the regular faculty of the university.
The courses are as follows:
Radio Theory
Radio Theory (A). This course is of a technical
nature designed for those who wish to secure a United
States Government radio operator's license, broadcast
class.
Every phase of radio including the fundamental
principles of electricity and magnetism, motors, gener-
ators, storage batteries, radio theory, radio broadcast
transmitters and studio equipment, and radio law and
regulations will be thoroughly covered. In addition
special work in the fields of air craft radio equipment,
talking pictures, television, geophysical research, radio
equipment, etc., will be taught.
Upon completion of this course the student will have
a knowledge of radio equal to that taught by any radio
school in the United States, and he will be adequately
prepared to pass the Government examinations.
Six hours of lecture classes and six hours of lab-
120 Oglethorpe University
oratory per week are required. Three units of credit
are given for the theory and three for the labora-
tory work. In addition the student may or may not
take fifteen hours of code practice per week depending
on whether he wishes a restricted or an unrestricted
broadcast license. Three hours of credit are given for
the nine hours of code practice.
Radio Theory. (B). This technical course is some-
what similar to the one listed above except that it is
designed to prepare the student for the United States
Government's commercial second class radio operator's
license.
The fundamental principles of electricity and mag-
netism, radio theory, motors, generators, storage bat-
teries, and radio laws and regulations will be thor-
oughly covered. Broadcast transmitters and equip-
ment, air craft radio, television, talking pictures, geo-
physical research, radio equipment, etc., will be touched
upon. An intensive and minute study of continuous
wave transmission, and transmitters, and commercial
and ship equipment will be undertaken.
Four hours of lecture classes and four hours of lab-
oratory work per week are required. Also nine hours
of code practice per week are necessary. Five hours
of credit are given for the theory, two for the labora-
tory work, and three for the code practice.
Studio Management. (A and B). A two year course
of a practical nature completely covering every phase
of studio work from the first principle of microphone
approach to the formulation and direction of a com-
plete radio program.
Announcing, continuity work, production, and pro-
gram direction are the four general divisions to be
covered during the four years. Subdivided under these
general heads will be found such specialized subjects
Oglethorpe University 121
as voice culture, commercial and sustained continui-
ties, plays, presentation of programs, arrangement of
artist and instruments, selection of talent, acoustics,
arrangement of programs, selling over the air, news
value, etc.
Six hours per year for two years. Six hours of
credit are given for the twelve hours work.
Studio Management (C). A course for the fourth
year of those who are working for the Bachelor of
Radio Broadcasting degree.
The purpose of this course is to correlate practically
and theoretically the various courses taken during the
preceding years. The knowledge gained during those
three years will be classified and consolidated finally
and concretely in the mind of the student, while the
managerial aspect of studio work will be especially
emphasized.
The courses in the Commercial Branch of the Radio
Broadcasting Course include Research (statistics, sales
plan, rates, merchandising, sales promotion, selling) ;
Advertising (distribution, good will, publicity, sales
results) ; Entertainment (founded on knowledge of
English with incidental knowledge of modern lan-
guages covering announcing) ; Languages (Italian,
French and German, voice culture, public speaking,
singing, history of music, articulation, inflection) ; Mu-
sic Study Appreciation (production, microphone place-
ment, presentation, frequency of tone, acoustics, in-
struments and instrumentation) ; Plans and Sales
Ideas; Contest Idea Department (commercial musical
adaptations) ; Directing of Programs (brilliance, speed,
selection of talent, balancing, timing, gauging) ; Pro-
gram Directing (selection of talent, auditions, sale of
talent, arrangement of programs, prestige, what not
122 Oglethorpe University
to sell, news value, listeners' interest) ; Radio Writing
(rhetoric, commercial continuity, dramatic writing,
typing) ; The Ethich of the Air including a study of
the rules and regulations of the Federal Radio Com-
mission, the best practices in salesmanship and com-
mercial ethics.
The above constitute the outline of the special pro-
fessional subjects covered in the courses offered the
students who desire to become proficient in the com-
mercial or entertainment divisions of Radio Broad-
casting.
Correspondence Radio Division of Oglethorpe
University
Standard correspondence courses, supplemented by
radio lectures broadcast over station WJTL constitute
the Correspondence Radio Division of Oglethorpe Uni-
versity, and may be used to the extent of twenty-five
per cent toward the Bachlor's degree in any depart-
ment.
Oglethorpe University 123
Correspondence Radio Courses
Announcement of Courses
Effective June 5, 1931, Oglethorpe University inau-
gurated a complete program of college education by
lectures over the radio, supported by correspondence,
conferences and examinations. These courses are con-
ducted in a standard, permanent and systematic man-
ner in the class rooms of the University.
The territory covered by the broadcasting station
is that of greater Atlanta, and the courses are offered
on a convenient schedule during the afternoons for
six days of the week. Some of the courses to be offered
which are summarized below are designed to constitute
the greater part of a standard college education. Un-
til television has been successfully accomplished 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. During the summer
of 1935, the periods will last for one hour.
I 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
*A special "depression cash discount" of twenty-five percent
(25 percent) from all catalogue charges as listed will be granted
to those students who hold no self-help position and receive
aid from no University loans or scholarships funds.
The University reserves the right to lower or raise any and
all charges if, when, and as economic conditions may require.
124 Oglethorpe University
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 Uni-
versity, meet the professor at convenient intervals for
conferences and guidance, either personally or by tele-
phone, stand the customary examinations at the close
of the work and, of course, pay the regular tuition
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. Ans-
wer will be given by radio at the next lecture period.
The correspondence radio divison of the University
is essentially a thorough standard correspondence de-
partment supplemented by radio lectures. Effective
September 25, 1932, Oglethorpe will not give credit
for ordinary correspondence work. The radio division
is of equal standing, dignity and order with the unde-
graduate and graduate departments of the University.
A studio has been installed on the University cam-
pus. The equipment is the best purchaseable, with
crystal control and complete modulation, and with it
the University has been assured that it will be possible
to cover completely with a dependable signal the terri-
tory of greater Atlanta.
The Radio Division has been inaugurated with such
courses as have been deemed most practicable for radio
instruction. The broadcasting station is operated on a
frequency of 1370 kilocycles and under the call letters
Oglethorpe University 125
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 is perhaps the only station in America which is op-
erated mainly for educational purposes.

Beginner's Course in German by Dr. H. J. Gaertner.
One hour per day for three days per week. College
credit, one hour (one minor) per term. Tuition charge
$15.00 per term.
The method of this course emphasizes speaking abil-
ity. 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 successful
and has been elaborated by years of experience.
Mental Hygiene by Dr. H. J. Gaertner. One huor
per day for three days per week for three terms. Col-
lege credit one hour (one minor) per term. Tuition
charge $15.00 per term.
In this course the student investigates many causes
for mental failures, the problem of happiness in liv-
ing, causes of abnormal mentality and the general way
in which the normal mind is formed.
The History and Appreciation of Music by Dr. Mark
Burrows. One hour per day for three days per week,
three terms. College credit one hour (one minor) per
term. Tuition charge $15.00 per term.
An inquiry into the evolution of music from the
earliest times to the present. The plan contemplated
is a combination of history, musical form, and appre-
ciation. While the historical phase is interesting,
and an understanding of musical form appeals to the
126 Oglethorpe University
intellectual and scientific, the main object is to culti-
vate increased appreciation of the beauty and power of
music as an instrument of expression. The course
will introduce simple and primitive forms with explan-
ations and illustrations. This will be followed in prop-
er sequence by folk song, the dance form, the
suite, grand opera, oratorio, and the symphony. At-
tention will be given to instrumentation and the devel-
opment of the modern orchestra. Illustrative material
will be supplied by the living voice, the piano, and the
recently perfected forms of electrical recording. The
course will be semi-laboratory in its presentation.
Those taking the course for college credit may pre-
sent it as a three hour elective in the School of Edu-
cation.
Drama by Dr. James Routh. Twenty minutes per
day for five days a week, three terms. College credit
two hours.
English Literature to 1700 by Mr. Lanier, at 10:30
A. M. on Saturday.
Beginners' Conversational Spanish by Prof. Fran-
cisco Perez . One hour per day for three days of the
week. College credit one hour (one minor) per term.
Tuition charge $15.00 per term.
As its name implies this is a course designed to
teach the pupils to speak and understand the Spanish
language correctly at the same time putting them in
possession of the fundamental principles of the gram-
mar.
Art by Professor Charles Tharp.
Familiar Talks on Science by Dr. J. A. Aldrich.
Modern American Economic Problems by Professor
R. D. England.
International Uniform Sunday School Lessons, Sat-
urday at 2:00 P. M., by Dr. Nicolassen.

Method of Registration
All persons desiring to take the Correspondence
Radio courses in a regular and systematic manner
should fill out the matriculation sheet supplied on re-
quest, 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 registrar, enabling any student to qual-
ify as a candidate for the bachelor's degree. All stu-
dents desiring to do this work in a systematic man-
ner should provide themselves immediately with a
good loose leaf notebook and with such texts as may
be required by the professors in charge. All profes-
sors 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 attend-
ance on classes and for purposes of correction and ad-
vice. All students who are candidates for degrees are
required to take the final, general comprehensive ex-
aminations such as are required in all other depart-
ments of the University.
All courses at Oglethorpe University, whether by
correspondence radio, on the campus or by extension
are of equal value and quality, and may be used inter-
changeably for credit toward degrees upon approval of
the dean of the department in which the student is
working, with the exception that only twenty-five per-
cent of Extension or Correspondence Radio work may
be used for a degree.
128 Oglethorpe University
Extension Division
H. J. Gaertner, Dean
The work is largely planned for those seeking grad-
uation in the Junior College Division, or for those
working for Bachelor's or Master's Degrees. Accord-
ingly, Oglethorpe will date the educational history of
each student and plan the work necessary for gradua-
tion.
In planning such work we see that certain definite
studies must enter the curriculum of each student. For
the Bachelor's degree, the student must have fulfilled
the following requirements: Science, 8 year hours;
Foreign Language 5 or 6 year hours ; Education 9 year
hours; English 6 year hours; History 3 year hours.
One of the courses in English is a foundation study of
English speech, grammar and writing.
During recent years all Colleges have been working
toward a better organized curriculum. It is this ten-
dency that demands the above definite requirements.
There is required a total of 66 year hours of acceptable
credits. A minimum of fifteen year hours must be
taken in Oglethorpe University.
The Master's degree is based on the Bachelor's de-
gree. The minimum requirement for the Master's is
fifteen year hours. All of these must be taken from
Oglethorpe University except in some instances where
city administrations require 5 or 6 hours in the specific
field in which the teacher is employed. This applies
especially to certain vocational fields in Manual Arts
or subjects not offered by Oglethorpe University.
A thesis, approved by the thesis committee, is also
required. In addition hereafter, each candidate for
the Master's degree is required to take a course in
Oglethorpe University 129
thesis writing and higher English to be approved by
the Dean.
In addition to the Extension Division, Oglethorpe
University offers a Summer Quarter divided into two
terms of six weeks each. Concentarting intensively
on a few subjects each class meets six times a week.
Three hours each term or six year hours during
the quarter is the regular amount of credit earned.
However, any honor student, having a standing of 90
percent the previous term either at Oglethorpe or any
other approved institution will be allowed to take one
additional hour each term, thus making 8 year hours
the possible maximum.
In addition, during some summers, Dr. H. J .Gaert-
ner has taken a class of students through Europe. On
these tours, intensive study in German, twice each day,
is pursued on the boat, followed by language work on
land, and is completed in regular classroom after return-
ing. This makes it possible to earn 3 year hours in
German as also three year hours in European civiliza-
tion, attested by a full note book of travel information
incorporated into a travel diary. Such a tour is
being planned for 1935. Both of these courses are to
be followed after the party returns by study during
the remainder of the summer Quarter. Those who
have taken this foreign work bear testimony to its
great value.
According to the rules of the City administration of
Atlanta all extension work of their teachers must be
done after school closes on Friday. This means Fri-
day afternoon, Friday night and Saturday. Not more
than two courses, one on Friday and one on Saturday
will be permitted the city teachers, 6 year hours at
most. This meets the wishes of the Atlanta School
130 Oglethorpe University
administration.
By these plans, teachers combining extension work
and Summer School attendance will be able to receive
their degree in a reasonable time.
At present the number of College graduates offering
for teaching places is so large that we are rapidly ap-
proaching the time when College graduation will be
required as a minimum for the profession.
In all divisions of Oglethorpe University there is
now a uniform charge of fifteen dollars per year hour.
A year hour is two semester hours frequently re-
ferred to as a minor. Tuition is payable by the term
(or per year hour) in advance. However, arrangements
can be made to divide this into monthly payments.
During the session of 1934-35 the following subjects
have been given : Biology 1, Mental Hygiene, Spanish 1,
Short Story, American History, Mechanical Drawing,
Botany, Mythology, Psychology of Elementary Sub-
jects.

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.
Oglethorpe University 131
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-
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 is required.
A sanely encouraging attitude is taken by the Uni-
versity towards intercollegiate athletics, and Ogle-
thorpe University is acquitting herself well in that
sphere of her educational life.
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,
132 Oglethorpe 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 on Hermance Stadium has been
completed, and a section is finished providing ac-
commodations for five thousand spectators and partici-
pants.
Silver Lake
Besides having 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 Uinversity
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.
University Store
In the Petrel Shop, operated under the superintendance
of the Faculty, are kept all necessary college accessor-
ies,and 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 her labor
I
Oglethorpe University 133
and strength and faith and prayer. If her judgements
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 her alone of all the universi-
ties of America, God raised 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. Two years ago Testaments
were distributed to a large number of students.
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 vol-
umes for the library. These consist of standard works
in Literature, History and Science, with many val-
uable reference works in special departments. The
private libraries of Dr. Sellers in Science, of Dr. Nic-
olassen 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
134 Oglethorpe University
to let no year go by without the enlargement of the
library. A competent librarian is in charge, and the
rooms will be open during the year of 1935-36 from
7:30 A.M. to 10:00 P.M. The Carnegie 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 a library of English with some seven-
teen thousand books and pamphlets.
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 unani-
mously adopted by the Faculty of the University, 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 con-
duct, whose general average for 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 themselves in
some intellectual, creative, or constructive accomplish-
ment as to entitle them thereto in the judgment of
the faculty."
For students who entered in September, 1931, or
later, the award will be made on the basis of their
comprehensive examination at the close of the College
Division.

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
distinguished street of that city, on a most beautiful
campus of over six hundred acres of woodland and mea-
dow, including an eighty acre lake which belongs to
our students for swimmings, 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
Oglethorpe University 137
variegated slates. All of them will be as fireproof
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
efficient college or university buildings in the South-
east.
L 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 activities, she
draws to herself as to a magnet the great minds of the
nation and the world. Hither come lecturers, mu-
sicians, statesmen, evangelists, editors, teachers and
officials of the United States. An intellectual atmos-
phere created by such conditions and the frequent op-
portunity 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 ut-
most. 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 con-
tact upon the young lives committed to us will be felt
in their increased ambition and redoubled determination
to perform, themselves, their duty to their race and
their God.
138 Oglethorpe University
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 intitution of learning
should be a constant source of delight and inspiration
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
ence and beauty may be expressed in the face o fa
building and are so expressed on the Oglehtorpe
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 dete-
riorate 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 dangeroulsly defective.
This is the special work of the silent faculty at Ogle-
thorpe.
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-
Oglethorpe University 139
tional opportunities of that nature. It is well known
that in all our large institutions only the upper class-
men come into 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.
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-
ofRce, express office and railway station, all known as
Oglethorpe University, Georgia.
The 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-
140 Oglethorpe University
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 she is best able to serve. These
committees cover the various departments of the Uni-
versity. They are : Ways and Means, Finance, Grounds,
Press, Entertainment, Hospital, Music, Library, Arts,
Refreshments, Transportation, and such other com-
mittees 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 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 Women's Board has established a permanent
endowment fund, and has been 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
for the year 1935-36 are as follows:
President, Mrs. Willis Westmoreland; 1st Vice-Pres-
ident, Mrs. Charles A. Conklin; 2nd Vice-President,
Mrs. J. D. Cromer ; 3rd Vice-President, Mrs. E. Rivers ;

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 given
of the call for any such special meeting for the purpose to con-
sider such disposition.
There shall be a Board of Trustees of such number as may
be prescribed by the by-laws who shall be persons who have
shown their interest in the purpose 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,

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,

Historical
(From a copy of the Miledgeville Journal, Septeinber 5, 1837
Presented to the University library by Miss Emmxi Thomas
of Athens, Georgia, the great-granddaughter of Mr. B. P.
Stubbs, Secretary, who signed the notice in behalf of the Ex-
ecutive Com,mittee.)
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 may have given to its character.
The University will consist of three departments, Collegiate,
Academic, asd 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, Dalpel's
Grammar, including Latin Prosody; also, on English Gram-
mar, Arithmetic and Geography, ancient and modern.

The Academic Department will consist of those who are
preparing for intrance 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 of these two departmenets 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 recieve 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 warrent 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-
emy and College under the government and instruction of the
same President and Professors. By this arrangement the er-
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 boardsrs as
they may be able to accomodate.
By order of the Executive Committee.
B. P. STUBBS, Secretary.

the college are named. This booklet is sold for $1.00;
but we will gladly send a copy of it without charge to
any prospective student with the understanding that
