The  Prayer 
Of  Oglethorpe  University 


FATHER  OF  WISDOM,  MASTEK  OF  THE  SCHOOLS  OF  MEN,  OF 
THINE  ALL-KNOWLEDGE  GRANT  ME  THIS  MY  PRAYER:  THAT 
I  MAY  BE  WISE  IN  THEE.  SINK  THOU  MY  FOUNDATIONS 
DEEP  INTO  THY  BOSOM  UNTIL  THEY  REST  UPON  THE  VAST 
ROCK  OP  THY  COUNSEL.  LIFT  THOU  MY  WALLS  INTO  THB 
CLEAR  EMPYREAN  OF  THY  TRUTH.  COVER  ME  WITH  THB 
WINGS  THAT  SHADOW  FROM  ALL  HARM.  LAY  MY  THRESH- 
OLDS IN  HONOR  AND  MY  LINTELS  IN  LOVE.  SET  THOU  MY 
FLOORS  IN  THB  CEMENT  OF  UNBREAKABLE  FRIENDSHIP  AND 
MAY  MY  WINDOWS  BE  TRANSPARENT  WITH  HONESTY.  LEAD 
THOU  UNTO  ME,  LORD  GOD,  THOSE  WHOM  THOU  HAST  AP- 
POINTED TO  BE  MY  CHILDREN,  AND  WHEN  THEY  SHALL 
COMB  WHO  WOULD  LEARN  OF  ME  THE  WISDOM  OF  THE 
YEARS,  LET  THE  CRIMSON  OF  MY  WINDOWS  GLOW  WITH 
THE  LIGHT  OF  THE  WORLD.  LET  THEM  SEE,  0  MY  LORD, 
HIM  WHOM  THOU  HAST  SHOWN  MB;  LET  THEM  HEAR  HIM 
WHOSE  VOICE  HAS  WHISPERED  TO  ME  AND  LET  THEM  REACH 
OUT  THEIR  HANDS  AND  TOUCH  HIM  WHO  HAS  GENTLY  LED 
ME  UNTO  THIS  GOOD  DAY.  ROCK-RIBBED  MAY  I  STAND  FOR 
THY  TRUTH.  LET  THE  STORMS  OF  EVIL  BEAT  ABOUT  MB 
IN  VAIN.  MAY  I  SAFELY  SHELTER  THOSE  WHO  COME  UNTO 
ME  FROM  THE  WINDS  OF  ERROR.  LET  THB  LIGHTNING  THAT 
LIES  IN  THE  CLOUD  OF  IGNORANCE  BREAK  UPON  MY  HEAD 
IN  DESPAIR.  MAY  THE  YOUNG  AND  THE  PURE  AND  THB 
CLEAN-HEARTED  PUT  THEIR  TRUST  SECURELY  IN  ME  NOR 
MAY  ANY  WHO  COMB  TO  MY  HALLS  FOR  GUIDANCE  BE 
SENT  ASTRAY.  LET  THE  BLUE  ASHLARS  OF  MY  BREAST 
THRILL  TO  THE  HAPPY  SONGS  OF  THE  TRUE-HEARTED  AND 
MAY  THE  VERY  HEART  OF  MY  CAMPUS  SHOUT  FOR  JOY 
A.S  IT  FEELS  THB  TREAD  OF  THOSE  WHO  MARCH  FOR  GOD. 
ALL  THIS  I  PRAY  THEE;  AND  YET  THIS  MORE:  THAT  THERE 
MAY    BE    NO    STAIN    UPON     MY    STONES,    FOREVER.  AMEN.

The  Government  of  the  University 
Board  of  Founders* 

The  details  of  the  management  of  Oglethorpe  Uni- 
versity are  handled  by  an  Executive  Committee  of 
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.

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

24  Oglethorpe    University 

Historical  Sketch 

The  historical  genesis  of  Oglethorpe  University 
takes  us  back  to  the  middle  of  the  eighteenth  century 
when,  under  the  leadership  of  Presbyterian  men, 
Princeton  College  was  founded  in  New  Jersey  and  rap- 
idly became  the  institution  largely  patronized  by  the 
young  men  from  Presbyterian  families  all  oveT  the 
world.  After  a  while  the  long  distance  which  must 
be  traveled  by  stage  or  on  horseback,  suggested  the 
building  of  a  similar  institution  under  the  auspices  of 
Presbyterianism  in  the  South.  The  movement  began 
with  the  spring  meeting  of  Hopewell  Presbytery  in 
the  year  1823,  and  eventuated  in  the  founding  of  a 
manual  training  school,  and  this  in  turn,  became  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  were  world  famous.  Among  these 
were  Joseph  LeConte,  the  gi'eat  geologist.  James 
Woodrow,  the  brilliant  and  devoted  Christian  and  sci- 


Oglethorpe  University  25 

entist;  Samuel  K.  Talmadge,  the  eminent  administra- 
tor and  many  others.  It  is,  perhaps,  the  chief  glory 
of  old  Oglethorpe  that  after  three  years  of  instruction 
she  graduated  Sidney  Lanier  of  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,  modera- 
tors of  the  General  Assembly,  discoverers,  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- 
vested in  Confederate  bonds,  and  her  buildings  which 
were  used  for  barracks  and  hospital,  were  later  burn- 
ed. An  effort  was  made  to  revive  the  institution  in 
the  '70's  and  to  locate  it  in  Atlanta,  but  the  evils  of 
reconstruction  days  and  financial  disaster  made  the 
adventure  impossible,  and  after  a  year  and  a  half  of 
struggle  the  doors  were  closed  for  the  second  time. 

Only  twenty-four  years  have  passed  since  the  pres- 
ent movement  to  re-found  the  university  began  and 
they  have  been  years  of  financial  disaster  and  utter 
turmoil,  yet  the  assets  and  subscription  pledges  of 
the  institution  have  passed  the  sum  of  one  and  a  half 
million  dollars  as  the  result  of  unusual  and  self-sac- 
rificing 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  en- 
graved upon  it:  "Manu  Dei  Resurrexit"  (  By  the 
Hand  of  God  She  Has  Risen  From  the  Dead) . 


26  Oglethorpe    University 

The  Opening,  September  20,  1916 

Oglethorpe  University  opened  her  doors  in  the  au- 
tumn of  1916.  After  50  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  variegated 
slates  and  as  near  fire  proof  as  human  skill  can  make 
it,  was  ready  for  occupancy  in  the  fall  of  1916,  when 
the  first  class  gathered  on  her  beautiful  campus  on 
Peachtree  Road.  A  faculty  equal  to  that  of  any  cog- 
nate institution  in  the  country  was  formed.  The  work 
of  raising  funds  and  new  construction  goes  steadily 
on.  All  of  this  has  been  done  in  the  midst  of  finan- 
cial 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-four  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  the  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  all  over  the  South  from  Gal- 
veston, Texas,  to  Charlottesville,  Virginia,  and  from 
Marshall,  Missouri,  to  Bradenton,  Florida,  each  one 


Oglethorpe    University  27 

of  them  giving  $1,000  or  more  to  the  enterprise;  the 
splendid  triumph  of  the  Atlanta  campaigns;  all  this 
is  well  known.  Since  that  time  the  same  wonderful 
record  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  have  spared  no  pains  to  make  Oglethorpe  one 
of  the  really  beautiful  universities  in  Amercia.  The 
architecture  is  Collegiate  Gothic;  the  building  ma- 
terial is  a  beautiful  blue  granite  trimmed  with  lime- 
stone. All  the  buildings  are  covered  with  heavy 
variegated  slates.  The  interior  construction  is  of 
steel,  concrete  ,brick  and  hollow  tile.  The  first  build- 
ing given  by  Dr.  and  Mrs  .Lupton  and  their  son,  our 
beloved  benefactors,  is  the  one  with  the  tower  just 
opposite  on  the  left  of  the  entrance.  Lowry  Hall, 
the  gift  of  Col.  and  Mrs.  R.  J  .Lowry,  stands  com- 
pleted at  the  end  of  the  main  axis  directly  in  front 
of  the  entrance.  The  total  cost  of  construction  of  the 
buildings  mentioned  above  with  the  landscape  work 
required,  will  be  approximately  $4,000,000.  The  build- 
ing plan  will  be  followed  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 


28  OcLEn'HORPE    University 

campuses  in  the  entire  world.  In  the  summer  of  1929 
Mr.  Hearst  gave  to  the  University  the  entire  Silver 
Lake  Estates,  four  hundred  acres  of  primeval  forest 
surrounding  an  eighty  acre  lake  with  something  like 
five  miles  of  graded  roads  winding  through  it.  As 
this  property  immediately  adjoins  the  two  hundred 
acres  already  possessed  by  the  University,  the  com- 
pleted campus  consists  of  a  body  of  six  hundred  acres 
of  land  in  one  tract  in  the  immediate  vicinity  of  At- 
lanta, on  Peachtree  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 
the  institution  about  which  the  men  who  are  founding 
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  don- 
ors. 

Her  Spiritual  and  Intellectual  Ideals 

But  it  is  not  so  much  the  magnificent  exterior  of 
the  institution  about  which  the  men  who  are  founding 


Oglethorpe    University  29 

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 
are  taking  the  superb  traditions  of  the  Old  Oglethorpe 
and  adding  the  best  of  the  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  WATL. 


30  Oglethorpe    University 

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  teachers 
in  our  high  schools  and  colleges,  and  to  supply  the 
gro^^ing  demand  for  specially  equipped  men  in  every 
department  of  human  activity. 

Students  who  are  looking  forward  to  university 
work  are  invited  to  correspond  with  the  President  in 
order  that  they  may  prepare  themselves  for  the  ad- 
vanced courses  which  are  to  be  offered. 

Adequate  library  and  laboratory  facilities  are  pro- 
vided. Free  use  is  made  of  the  city  of  Atlanta,  in 
itself  a  remarkable  laboratory  of  industrial  and  scien- 
tific life,  whose  museums,  libraries,  and  municipal 
plants  are  at  the  disposal  of  our  students  for  observa- 
tion, inspection  and  investigation. 

GROUNDS  AND  BUILDINGS 

The  campus  consists  of  approximately  six  hundred 
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  immediately 
in  front  of  the  entrance  is  the  terminus  of  the  Ogle- 
thorpe 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 


Oglethorpe    University  31 

and  laboratories,  the  administrative  offices  and 
lounging  room  for  young  ladies  attending  the  college ; 
on  the  second  and  third  floors,  the  hospital  and  dormi- 
tories. Lupton  Hall  contains  the  library,  the  Presi- 
dent's office,  class  rooms,  dormitories,  an  Assembly 
Hall  seating  approximately  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. 

EQUIPMENT 

The  University  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  Com- 
merce, 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  generosity  of  Colonel  R.  J.  Lowry 
and  Emma  Markham  Lowry  .

absolving  all  entrance  requirements. 

Persons  under  twenty  years  of  age  desiring  to  pur- 
sue special  courses  not  leading  to  a  degree  may  do  so 
as  unregistered  students  upon  the  passage  of  an  ex- 
amination or  examinations  satisfactory  to  the  Dean

Standards  For  Georgia  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.** 


*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  Georgia  until  the  proper  show- 
ing has  been  made  to  the  State  Board  of  Education  that  the 
proposed  University,  College,  Normal,  or  Professional  school 
shall  give  evidence  of  its  ability  to  meet  the  standard  require- 
ments set  up  by  the  State  Board  of  Education. 


Oglethorpe    University  35 

(b)  A  basis  for  preparing  an  approved  list  of  teach- 
er training  institutions  for  the  State  of  Georgia. 

It  is  not  proposed  that  these  standards  should  op- 
erate to  make  it  impossible  for  a  worthy  new  enter- 
prise to  be  begun,  nor  for  a  worthy  institution  now 
in  operation  to  be  denied  a  fair  opportunity  for  de- 
velopment. 

It  is,  therefore,  agreed  that: 

(a)  In  the  case  of  proposed  new  institutions  of 
higher  learning,  if  the  Board  of  Education  is  satisfied 
that  such  institution  has  a  reasonable  possibility  of 
meeting  these  standards  within  three  years  a  provis- 
ional charter  for  three  years  may  be  granted,  such 
charter  to  be  made  permanent  if  and  when  such  in- 
stitution shall  have  met  the  conditions  of  these 
standards. 

(b)  In  the  case  of  institutions  now  in  operation, 
the  application  of  these  standards  shall  not  go  into 
effect  until  after  the  expiration  of  three  years  from 
the  date  of  the  adoption  of  these  standards. 

Standards  for  Colleges 

1.  Definition: 

A  standard  college,  university,  or  technological  in- 
stitution— designated  as  "college"  in  this  statement 
of  standards — is  an  institution: 

(a)  Which  is  legally  authorized  to  give  non-profes- 
sional Bachelor's  degrees; 

(b)  Which  is  organized  definitely  on  the  basis  of 
the  completion  of  a  standard  secondary  school 
curriculum ; 


36  Oglethorpe    University 

(c)  Which  organizes  its  curricula  in  such  a  way 
that  the  early  years  are  a  continuation  of,  and 
supplement  the  work  of  the  secondary  school 
and  at  least  the  last  two  years  are  shaped  more 
or  less  distinctly  in  the  direction  of  special, 
professional,  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 
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  reg- 
ular college  courses  if  the  authorities  of  the  college 
are  satisfied  that  such  persons  can  carry  the  courses 
satisfactorily.  These  shall  be  classified  as  special 
students  and  shall  not  be  admitted  to  candidacy  for 
bachelor's  degrees  until  all  entrance  requirements 
have  been  satisfied. 

3.  Graduation: 

A  college  shall  require  for  graduation  the  comple- 
tion of  a  minimum  quantitative  requirement  of  120 
semester  hours  of  credit  (or  the  equivalent  in  term 
hours,  quarter  hours,  points,  majors,  or  courses)  with

further  qualitative  requirements  adapted  by  each  in- 
stitution to  its  conditions. 

A  semester  hour  is  defined  as  a  credit  for  work  in 
a  class  which  meets  for  at  least  one  sixty-minute  per- 
iod (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.  Insti- 
tutions of  limited  resources  and  inadequate  facilities 
for  graduate  work  should  confine  themselves  to  strict- 
ly 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  devot- 
ing 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 


38  Oglethorpe    University 

number  of  courses  offered.  With  the  growth  of  the 
student  body,  the  number  of  full-time  teachers  should 
be  correspondingly  increased.  The  development  of 
varied  curricula  should  involve  the  addition  of  other 
heads  of  departments. 

7.  Training  of  Faculty: 

Faculty  members  of  professional  rank  shall  have 
not  less  than  one  full  year  of  graduate  work,  major- 
ing 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 
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,  exceeding  18  recitation  hours  or  their  equiv- 
alent per  week  per  instructor,  will  be  interpreted  as 
endangering  educational  efficiency.  Sixteen  hours  is 
the  recommended  maximum  load. 

9.  Size  of  Classes: 

Classes  (exclusive  of  lectures)  of  more  than  thirty 
students  should  be  interpreted  as  endangering  educa- 
tional efficiency. 


Oglethorpe    University  39 

10.  Financial  Support: 

The  minimum  annual  operating  income  for  an  ac- 
credited college,  exclusive  of  payment  of  interest,  an- 
nuities, etc.,  should  be  $30,000,  of  which  not  less  than 
$15,000  should  be  derived  from  stable  sources,  other 
than  students,  such  as  permanent  endowment,  public 
funds  or  church  support.  Increase  in  faculty,  stu- 
dent body  and  scope  of  instruction  should  be  accom- 
panied by  a  corresponding  increase  of  income  from 
such  stable  sources.  The  financial  status  of  each  col- 
lege should  be  judged  in  relation  to  its  educational 
program. 

A  college  that  does  not  have  such  support  from  en- 
dowment, church,  state  or  public  sources  must  show, 
for  a  period  of  three  consecutive  years  immediately 
preceding  its  application  for  accrediting,  that  its 
charges  and  expenditures  are  such  as  to  show  a  min- 
imum average  annual  net  surplus  of  not  less  than 
$15,000  from  non-educational  services,  such  as  board, 
room  rents,  etc.,  which  may  be  used  to  supplement 
tuition  fees. 

11.  Library: 

A  college  should  have  a  live,  well-distributed,  ade- 
quately housed  library  of  at  least  8,000  volumes,  ex- 
clusive of  public  documents,  bearing  specifically  upon 
the  subjects  taught,  administered  by  a  full-time  pro- 
fessionally trained  librarian,  and  with  a  definite  an- 
nual appropriation  for  the  purchase  of  new  books. 

12.  Laboratories: 

The  laboratory  equipment  shall  be  adequate  for  all 
the  experiments  called  for  by  the  courses  offered  in 
the  sciences,  and  these  facilities  shall  be  kept  up  by 


40  Oglethorpe  University 

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  reg- 
ular students.  A  notablj^  small  proportion  of  college 
students  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 
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 degres,  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- 


Oglethorpe  University  41 

couragement  of  efficiency,  initiative  and  originality 
in  investigation  and  teaching,  the  tone  of  the  institu- 
tion, including  the  existence  and  culture  of  good  mor- 
als and  ideals,  and  satisfaction  and  enthusiasm  among 
students  and  staff  shall  be  factors  in  determining  its 
standing. 

16.  Extra-Curricular  Activities: 

The  proper  administration  of  athletics,  student  pub- 
lications, student  organizations,  and  all  extra-curricu- 
lar activities,  is  one  of  the  fundamental  tests  of  a 
standard  college  and,  therefore,  should  be  considered 
in  classification. 

17.  Professional  and  Technical  Departments: 

When  the  institution  has,  in  addition  to  the  college 
of  arts  and  sciences,  professional  or  technical  depart- 
ments, the  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. 

18.  Inspection  and  Reports: 

Filing  of  Blank — No  institution  shall  be  placed  on 
the  approved  hst  unless  a  regular  information  blank 
has  been  filed  with  the  State  Department  of  Educa- 
tion. 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  ap- 


42  Oglethorpe  University 

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  ac- 
credited by  the  Department  shall  be  open  to  inspec- 
tion at  any  time. 


Oglethorpe  University  was  the  first  educational  in- 
stitution in  Georgia  to  be  inspected  and  fully  accred- 
ited by  the  State  Board  of  Education  after  the  adop- 
tion of  the  above  Standards,  following  the  approval 
of  them  by  all  the  educational  institutions  in  the  com- 
monwealth. 

Student  Regulations 

REGISTRATION 

1.  Each  student  will  first  report  to  the  Dean  of  the 
school  in  which  he  wishes  to  register.  With  his 
course  and  schedule  approved  by  his  Dean,  the  stu- 
dent will  present  his  schedule  card  to  the  Registrar. 
He  will  then  record  his  courses  on  triplicate  cards. 

2.  A  student  is  not  considered  registered  until  he 
registers  his  subjects  in  the  Registrar's  office,  has 
these  courses  approved  by  the  Registrar,  secures  a 
bill  from  the  Bursar,  and  pays  the  Cashier. 

3.  No  student  is  to  be  admitted  to  class  without 
a  student  card  issued  by  the  Cashier  when  he  has  set- 
tled his  financial  arrangements  with  the  University. 

4.  At  the  beginning  of  each  term,  a  few  days  after 
registration,  the  Registrar  sends  to  each  professor 
course  cards  for  each  student  who  has  registered. 
Should  a  student  fail  to  appear  in  class  before  the 


Oglethorpe  University  43 

two  weeks  allowed  for  changing,  dropping,  or  adding 
cubjects,  the  professor  is  to  notify  the  Registrar  im- 
mediately. Failure  of  the  professor  to  do  so  does 
not  excuse  the  student  from  the  financial  obligation 
involved. 

5.  As  soon  as  course  cards  are  received  from  the 
Registrar's  office,  each  professor  must  check  his 
roll  and  report  to  the  Registrar  immediately  the 
names  of  any  students  in  his  classes  for  whom  he 
does  not  have  a  card. 

6.  Subjects  may  be  changed,  dropped,  or  added 
only  during  the  first  two  weeks  of  each  term  and 
only  upon  written  permission  from  the  Dean  of  the 
school  in  which  the  student  is  enrolled. 

7.  Students  are  allowed  to  register  up  to  one-third 
of  the  term.  It  is  necessary  that  a  student  attend  at 
least  two-thirds  of  the  term's  classes  if  credit  is  de- 
sired. 

8.  Each  student  is  required  to  register  in  person. 

9.  A  fine  of  $1.00  per  day  (maximum  limit  one- 
third  of  the  duration  of  the  term  concerned)  is  charg- 
ed for  any  student  who  registers  after  the  dates  set 
aside  for  registration  as  per  college  calendar. 

10.  As  it  is  impossible  to  know  how  many  hours  of 
work  each  student  will  register  for  at  the  beginning 
of  each  term,  no  bills  are  sent  out  in  advance.  The 
student  is  advised  to  get  an  estimate  of  his  expenses 
before  the  term  begins. 

11.  Deans  of  departments  can  require  delinquent 
students  to  drop  specific  courses  only  at  the  beginning 
of  each  term. 


44  Oglethorpe   University 


CLASSIFICATION 


As  a  basis  for  determining  the  class  to  which  a 
student  shall  belong,  the  following  regulation  is  to 
apply:  a  first  year  student  must  have  fulfilled  the 
requirements  for  entrance  to  his  class  by  one  of  the 
methods  specified.  In  addition  to  his  entrance  units, 
a  second  year  student  must  have  completed  fifteen 
year  hours;  a  Junior  thirty  year  hours;  and  a  Senior 
forty-five  year  hours.  Special  students  will  not  be 
eligible  for  admission  to  either  of  the  four  college 
classes,  or  membership  in  any  of  the  social  fraterni- 
ties or  the  athletic  or  forensic  teams  representing  the 
University.  A  student  failing  to  receive  sufficient 
credits  during  any  year  to  entitle  him  to  enter  the 
next  higher  class  must  remain  in  the  lower  class  un- 
til the  deficiencies  are  absolved.  Back  work  in  a  re- 
quired subject  must  be  made  up  within  the  next  term ; 
otherwise  the  student  will  be  excluded  from  the  class 
to  which  he  would  naturally  belong. 

ACADEMIC  HOURS 

The  average  number  of  hours  a  week  for  first  year 
students  is  sixteen  to  seventeen,  and  is  uniform  for 
all  schools  of  the  University.  The  number  of  hours 
a  week  for  the  upperclassmen  differs.  In  order  to 
avoid  errors  in  registration  all  students  are  required 
to  arrange  their  courses  and  hours  with  the  Deans  of 
the  schools  which  they  wish  to  enter.  This  also  ap- 
plies to  special  students. 

Freshmen,  Sophomores,  and  Juniors  may  not  take 
more  than  18  hours  a  week  unless  they  have  made 
an  average  of  90  in  the  previous  term.  If  a  student 
wishes  to  take  more  than  20  hours,  the  written  con- 


Oglethorpe  University  45 

sent  of  the  Dean  must  be  secured,  regardless  of  the 
average  made.  Seniors  are  not  limited,  but  the  writ- 
ten consent  of  the  Dean  must  be  secured. 

There  must  be  66  minimum  hours  of  regular  stand- 
ard work  for  every  degree.  One  hour  per  year  may 
be  selected  by  the  student  from  Music,  Intramural 
Sports,  Football,  Debaters'  Club,  Players'  Club  and 
work  on  the  Petrel,  not  on  the  Yamacraw.  The  stu- 
dent must  register  and  pay  for  these,  and  they  must 
be  certified  to  by  the  professor. 

EXAMINATIONS 

For  a  supplemental  examination,  whether  on  ac- 
count of  failure  to  pass  or  absence  from  the  Univer- 
sity, the  student  is  to  pay  a  fee  of  $2.00,  receipt  for 
which  must  be  secured  from  the  Cashier  and  pre- 
sented to  the  professor  before  the  examination  is 
given.  The  examination  must  be  taken  in  the  term 
following  the  regular  term.  In  case  the  student  is 
out  of  school  one  or  more  terms,  he  may  take  it  in  the 
term  in  which  he  returns.  If  the  examination  grade 
is  below  50,  the  student  is  not  entitled  to  a  re-exami- 
nation. 

ABSENCES 

A  student  who  is  absent  five  times  in  one  course 
in  any  given  term  shall  be  called  to  account  by  the 
professor  in  charge,  and  in  the  event  he  cannot  sub- 
mit a  valid  reason  for  such  absences,  he  shall  be  re- 
ported to  the  Dean  of  the  school  in  which  he  is  work- 
ing. All  absences  shall  be  recorded  by  the  Registrar, 
and  if  a  student  accumulates  20  unexcused  absences 
from  classes  or  eight  absences  from  Assembly  in  a 
term,  he  shall  be  required  by  the  Dean  of  his  school 


46  Oglethorpe  University 

to  take  an  additional  hour  of  work  before  being  rec- 
ommended to  the  Faculty  for  graduation. 

FAILURE  IN  STUDIES 

A  student  who  is  failing  in  any  of  his  courses 
during  a  term  will  be  given  personal  warning,  and  a 
letter  will  be  written  to  his  parent  or  guardian  by 
the  Dean  of  his  school  or  the  Registrar.  If  a  stu- 
dent be  seriously  behind  he  may  be  required  to  with- 
draw from  the  University. 

A  student  failing  on  one-half  of  his  hours  for  two 
successive  terms  will  be  required  to  withdraw  from 
the  University. 


Oglethorpe  University  47 

Courses  of  Instruction  and 
Requirements  For  Degrees 

In  the  session  of  1937-38  Oglethorpe  University  will 
offer  courses  in  the  undergraduate  classes  of  eight 
schools  leading  to  the  customary  academic  degrees. 
The  degree  of  Bachelor  of  Arts  (A.B.)  in  Liberal 
Arts  will  be  conferred  upon  those  students  satisfac- 
torily completing  a  four  years'  course  as  outlined  be- 
low, 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  Jour- 
nalism will  be  given  to  those  students  who  complete  a 
course  including  work  in  languages,  literature  and 
journalism.  The  degree  of  Bachelor  of  Arts  in  Com- 
merce will  be  conferred  upon  those  students  who  sat- 
isfactorily complete  a  full  four  years'  course  in  studies 
relating  particularly  to  business  administration.  The 
degree  of  Bachelor  of  Arts  in  Education  will  be  con- 
ferred 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  re- 
quirements 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.  ~ 


48  Oglethorpe   University 

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,  engin- 
eering and  other  scientific  work,  the  A.B.  course  in 
Science;  those  expecting  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  Preparation;  those  who  expect 
to  teach,  the  A.B.  course  in  Education. 

^^Tiile  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 


Oglethorpe  University  49 

marks  attained  at  the  close  of  the  term  in  the  College 
Division  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  a 
student  appears  to  be  about  ready  for  graduation,  he 
will  be  recommended  to  the  Faculty  by  the  Dean  of 
his  department,  for  a  final,  comprehensive  examina- 
tion on  not  less  than  fifteen  hours  to  be  specified  by 
the  Dean.  Upon  completion  of  a  satisfactory  com- 
prehensive examination  the  degree  and  diploma  will 
be  conferred.  It  is  believed  that  the  new  system  will 
incite  the  student  to  select  and  coordinate  his  course 
of  study  as  a  whole,  and  to  master  it.  The  inferior 
student  will  stand  small  chance  of  passing  the  com- 
prehensive 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 him  for  graduation.  Under  the  new  plan  cheat- 
ing, cramming,  and  coasting  will  be  less  of  a  temp- 
tation, 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  in- 
stitutions of  at  least  junior  college  or  normal  grade. 
Correspondence  credits  will  be  accepted  to  25  per 
cent  of  the  total  requirements  for  the  degree. 

In  determining  the  rating  of  both  high  schools  and 
colleges  for  any  year  the  university  is  governed 
by  the  rulings  of  the  Department  of  Education  of  the 
State  of  Georgia. 

Definite  transcripts  are  required  for  admission 
both  to  the  graduate  and  under-graduate  divisions. 


50  Oglethorpe  University 

The  Atlanta  School  System  has  asked  that  teachers 
take  work  only  on  Friday  and  Saturday,  not  definite- 
ly limiting  the  amount  of  credit.  Fifteen  to  eighteen 
college  hours  is  considered  a  reasonable  amount  of 
work  for  a  pupil  giving  all  his  time  to  instruction. 
Therefore,  as  teachers  are  supposed  to  give  at  least 
half  of  their  time  to  their  teaching  and  to  its  prepar- 
ation, 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  summer  school  work.  When  it  is  under- 
stood that  this  means  seven  and  a  half  to  nine  hours 
of  class  room  work  a  week,  not  to  mention  the  prep- 
aration involved,  it  will  be  seen  that  this  is  reason- 
able. 

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,  from  the  last  two  years  of 
their  course.  When  these  examinations  have  been 
successfully  passed  the  candidate  is  required  to  stand 
an  oral  examination  of  the  same  general  comprehen-

University  Expenses 

Tuition 

No  charges  are  made  for  the  usual  College  fees 
such  as  matriculation,  laboratories,  infirmary,  library, 
contingent,  and  student  activities. 

The  charge  for  tuition  is  $80.00  per  term,  $240.00 
per  academic  year  of  approximately  nine  months.  For 
this  sum  a  student  is  entitled  to  take  from  12  to  17 
credit  hours  of  work  per  week.  No  student  is  per- 
mitted to  take  less  than  12  hours  per  week  and  those 
students  who  take  more  than  17  credit  hours  per  week 
are  required  to  pay  for  the  extra  hours  at  the  rate  of 
$15.00  per  hour.  These  sums  are  payable  in  cash  in 
advance,  at  the  beginning  of  each  term,  but  the  Cash- 
ier is  given  the  authority,  when  a  student  has  proven 
that  his  credit  is  good,  to  allow  that  student  to  pay  one 
half  of  the  charges  at  the  beginning  of  the  term  and 
the  other  half  on  or  before  a  date  which  the  Cashier 
will  set  and  which  will  not  be  later  than  the  middle  of 
the  term.  This  means  of  paying  tuition  fees  is  ap- 
plicable also  to  charges  for  board  and  room  rent. 

In  the  Extension  Department,  charges  are  $15.00 
per  hour,  subject  to  one  third  discount  to  teachers. 
The  summer  school  charges  for  1937  are  the  same  as 
Extension  charges.  No  charge  will  be  made  for  room 
rent  during  the  summer  term  to  any  student  taking  six 
credit  hours  for  the  entire  summer  term  or  three  cre- 
dit hours  for  a  half-summer  term,  and  who  boards 
at  the  college  cafeteria,  ($72.00  for  the  entire  summer 
term  or  $36.00  for  the  first  half.)  This  free  room 
rent  applies  only  to  teachers  in  active  service.  Re- 
lations and  friends  who  do  not  attend  college  classes 
may  board  in  the  dormitories  by  paying  the  regular 
room  rent  and  board  charges. 


52  Oglethorpe  University 

Students  holding  self  help  positions  are  not  allowed 
any  additional  discount  on  bills  or  permitted  to  hold 
any  other  self  help  job  or  scholarships.  This  does  not 
include  N.Y.A.  Scholarships. 

Board  and  Room  Rent 

The  dormitory  facilities  of  Oglethorpe  University 
are  among  the  safest  and  most  comfortable  of  those 
of  cognate  institutions  in  America.  All  permanent 
buildings  of  the  University  will  be  like  those  no--^- 
tinished,  which  are  believed  to  be  entirely  fireproof, 
being  constructed  of  steel,  concrete,  and  granite 
with  partitions  of  brick  and  hollow  tile. 

The  rates  named  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 
general  toilet  and  bath  on  the  same  floor.  Each  room 
contains  a  lavatory  furnishing  hot  and  cold  water. 
The  second  grade  is  that  of  the  second  floor  of  the 
Administration  building,  and  is  composed  of  suites 
of  rooms,  each  suite  containing  a  bedroom,  bath,  and 
study.  The  price  charged  includes  first  class  board, 
steam  heat  and  electric  lights,  water  and  janitor's 
service;  all  rooms  are  furnished  adequately  and  sub- 
stantially. Every  room  in  the  dormitory  contains 
ample  closet  space.  The  rooms  are  large,  airy,  safe 
and  comfortable. 

The  furniture  is  of  substantial  quality  and  is  ap- 
proximately the  same  for  all  rooms,  including  chiffon- 
ier, study-table,  chairs,  single  beds,  springs  and  mat- 
tresses.    Room   linen,   pillows   and   bed  clothing   are 


i 


Oglethorpe  University  53 

furnished  by  the  student.  Application  for  rooms 
should  be  made  as  early  as  possible.  For  reservation 
of  room  inclose  $5.00  reservation  fee  (non-returnable) 
ro  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 : 

Room  rent:  Administration  Building,  third  floor, 
Lupton  Hall,  third  floor,  and  Lowry  Hall,  second  and 
third  floors  (two  or  more  to  the  room)  $26.00  per 
term.  Administration  Building,  second  floor  $46.00 
per  term  (two  or  more  to  the  room).  The  charge  for 
board  is  $72  to  $80  for  the  Autumn  term,  and  $60  to 
$70  for  the  Spring  and  Winter  terms,  to  suit  the 
varying  requirements  of  the  students.  This  is  fur- 
nished in  the  form  of  meal  tickets.  Additional  tickets 
may  be  purchased  by  the  student  if  desired.  No  re- 
bate is  given  on  unus«rd  meal  tickets,  and  no  transfer 
of  use  of  meal  tickets  from  one  term  to  another  is 
allowed.  All  charges  are  payable  in  advance  by  the 
term,  of  approximately  eleven  weeks  as  per  college 
calendar,  and  no  rebate  is  allowed  for  any  reason. 
The  particular  attention  of  the  student  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  minimum  charge  for  them  is  $72.00  for  the 
Autumn  term,  and  $60.00  for  the  Spring  and  Winter 
terms,  and  is  not  subject  to  rebate  of  any  kind  on 


w 


54  Oglethorpe   University 

account  of  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 
cafeteria  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 
payments  are  permitted  under  special  conditions  the 
obligation  of  the  student  to  meet  deferred  payments 
is  not  thereby  impaired.  Such  special  privileges  of 
payment  will  be  withdrawn  in  all  cases  where  the  stu- 
dent fails  to  make  settlement  without  previous  billing 
or  notice.  A  penalty  of  $5.00  is  assessed  on  all  stu- 
dents attending  classes  or  any  examination  without 
having  settled  their  account  in  advance  and  $1  per  day 
for  delayed  registration  of  Winter  and  Spring  terms. 
Tf  a  student  attends  a  single  class,  or  occupies  a  dor- 
mitory 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. 

The  minimum  charges  for  board  and  room  rent 
are  set  at  figures  which  years  of  experience  have  in- 
dicated to  be  suitable  to  the  average  student.  This 
is  especially  true  of  board  which  is  set  low  to  suit 
many  students  that  so  desire  it.  Those  whose  re- 
quirements are  greater  are  expected  to  purchase  ex- 
tra tickets. 


Oglethorpe  University  55 

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 
Atlanta  market. 

Caution  Deposit 

A  deposit  of  $5.00  is  required  of  all  boarding  stu- 
dents and  $2.50  for  non-boarding  students,  upon  reg- 
istration, which  will  be  refunded  after  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,  was 
done  by  the  students. 

FINES 

A  penalty  of  $1.00  will  be  charged  each  student 
moving  articles  of  furniture  from  one  room  to  an- 
other without  permission  from  either  the  Bursar's  of- 
fice or  the  Cashier's  office.  This  fine  will  also  be 
charged  any  student  changing  his  room  without  per- 
mission from  the  office. 

A  fine  of  $1.00  a  day  (up  to  one-third  of  the  term) 
will  be  charged  for  late  registration,  Winter  and 
Spring  terms. 

A  fine  of  $5.00  is  charged  if  any  student  attends 
a  class  or  examination  without  registration. 

Infirmary 

The  University  maintains  at  all  times  an  excellent 


56  Oglethorpe   University 

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 
render.  This  includes  accidents  and  injuries  arising 
from  participation  in  inter-collegiate  sports,  in  which 
case  a  special  consideration  is  offered  as  specified  else- 
where. 

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 
special  rate  by  the  Atlanta  Baggage  and  Cab  Co-  In 
using  the  latter  method  mention  should   always  be 


Oglethorpe  University  57 

made  of  the  special  students'  rate  at  the  time  the 
order  is  given. 

Students  arriving  at  any  of  the  Railway  or  Bus 
terminals  in  Atlanta  may  board  "Oglethorpe"  street 
cars  at  the  points  listed  below.  This  method  of  trans- 
portation is  much  more  economical  than  by  taxicab. 

Students  arriving  at  the  Terminal  Station  in  At- 
lanta may  walk  a  distance  of  four  blocks  (down  Mit- 
chell Street  to  Broad  Street,  up  Broad  Street  to  the 
northwest  corner  of  Broad  and  Marietta  Streets)  and 
board  the  street  car. 

Students  arriving  at  the  Union  Station  may  walk 
a  distance  of  two  blocks  (down  Forsyth  to  Marietta 
Street)  and  board  the  street  car. 

Students  arriving  at  the  Union  Bus  Terminal  may 
walk  a  distance  of  two  blocks  (up  Carnegie  Way  to 
Peachtree  Street,  up  Peachtree  Street  one  block  to 
a  safety  zone)  and  board  the  same  car  at  this  point. 

Fares  on  street  cars  in  Atlanta  are  ten  cents  for 
one  fare  (cash)  or  four  tickets  for  thirty  cents.  These 
tickets  may  be  purchased  from  the  street  car  operator. 

Summer  Session 

The  summer  term  of  Oglethorpe  University  meets 
the  requirements  of  regular  students  who  desire  to 
speed  up  their  courses  or  to  make  up  work  that  is  un- 
satisfactory. It  also  serves  a  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.     Local 


58  Oglethorpe  University 

extension  students  by  availing  themselves  of  the  op- 
portunities of  the  Summer  Session  are  able  to  do  an 
amount  of  work,  in  twelve  calendar  months,  equal  to 
that  done  in  an  academic  year  of  nine  months  by  a 
full-time  campus  student.  Write  for  bulletin  of  Sum- 
mer Session. 

Graduate  School 

It  is  the  purpose  of  Oglethorpe  University  to  de- 
velop a  thoroughly  excellent  Graduate  School,  offer- 
ing courses  in  all  departments  leading  to  the  Master's 
degree.  In  supplying  this  need,  the  management 
of  the  University  will  be  content  only  with  the  very 
highest  grades  of  work  and  facilities. 

Courses  leading  to  the  Master's  degree  in  certain 
departments  will  be  found  outlined  elsewhere  in  this 
catalogue,  under  the  appropriate  department  heading. 
This  degree  is  based  upon  that  of  Bachelor  of  Arts 
of  Oglethorpe  University  or  of  some  other  approved 
institution-  The  candidate  must  carry  an  aggregate 
of  fifteen  hours  of  graduate  work,  with  at  least  two 
Professors.  Transfer  credits  (maximum  3  hours) 
will  be  allowed.  The  work  must  be  of  graduate 
grade,  and  must  be  approved  by  the  Dean  of  the  Grad- 
uate School.  In  addition  a  thesis  is  required.  But  the 
degree  is  not  guaranteed  at  the  end  of  a  fixed  period 
of  time.  A  certain  amount  of  work  must  be  accom- 
plished, and  the  quality  of  it  must  be  such  as  to  satis- 
fy 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 
munt  have  attained  the  highest  academic  degree  offer- 


Oglethorpe  University  59 

ed  that  department.  This  fact  is  mentioned  in  order 
to  indicate  the  earnest  determination  of  the  Board 
of  Directors  of  the  University  that  her  faculty  shall 
include  only  men  of  the  highest  intellectual  attain- 
ment as  well  as  men  of  great  teaching  power  and 
strong  personality. 

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  of- 
ficial transcripts  from  standard  institutions  recogniz- 
ed 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 
subject  selected  as  a  minor. 

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  for  nine  months)  carries  a  credit  of  one 
hour  per  term,  three  hours  per  year. 

A  minimum  of  fifteen  college  hours  or  one  year 
of  work  and  a  minimum  of  one  year  (nine  months) 
of  residence  is  required  for  the  Master's  degree.  A 
minimum  of  one  year  or  approximately  nine  months' 
residence  is  required  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 
counsel  of  the  Dean  of  the  Department  in  which  the 
student  is  working.  In  addition  a  satisfactory  thesis 
must  be  presented  to  t>'-;  Faculty  Committee  upon  a 
subject  approved  by  tnem  and  filed  with  the  Committee 
not  less  than  ten  days  before  the  date  of  graduation. 


60  Oglethorpe  University 

Three  additional  hours  may  be  taken  in  lieu  of  a  the- 
sis. 

The  President  of  the  University  will  be  pleased  to 
answer  any  inquiries  as  to  graduate  courses  to  be 
offered. 

CONDITIONS  FOR  CONTINUED  ATTENDANCE 

It  being  the  purpose  of  the  University  to  offer  its 
services  only  to  those  students  who  by  their  applica- 
tion and  conduct  show  their  appreciation  of  their  op- 
portunities and  also  to  protect  its  patrons  from  the  de- 
moralizing influences  of  indifferent  and  undesirable 
students,  the  University  will  at  its  own  discretion 
and  without  further  explanation,  exercise  the  right 
to  decline  re-registration  at  the  beginning  of  any 
term  to  those  students  who,  in  the  opinion  of  the  ap- 
pointed officials  are  not  making  satisfactory  campus 
citizens. 

In  pursuance  of  this  purpose,  a  complete  list  of  the 
student  body  is  presented  at  the  close  of  each  term 
to  the  deans  of  the  University,  to  the  dean  of  women, 
to  the  librarian,  to  the  bursar,  matron,  cashier,  foot- 
ball coach,  superintendent,  registrar  and  to  the  presi- 
dent of  the  student  body  with  directions  that  each  of 
them  should  canvass  the  list  and  set  a  mark  opposite 
the  name  of  any  student  who,  in  their  opinion,  has  de- 
finitely failed  in  any  of  the  following  points : 

1 — Continued  failure  to  attend  classes,  including 
the  Tuesday  assembly. 

2 — Continued  failure  in  their  classroom  work  and 
inattention  and  misbehavior  in  the  classrooms  and 
at  assembly  exercises. 


Oglethorpe  University  61 

3 — Willful  destruction  of  or  damage  to  University- 
property. 

4 — Disloyalty  to  the  University  and  discourtesy  to 
any  of  the  faculty  or  officials. 

5 — Evident  dissatisfaction  with  rules  and  regula- 
tions or  discontent  with  facilities  offered. 

6 — Ungentlemanly  or  unladylike  behavior,  includ- 
ing cheating,  stealing  and  drunkenness  or  continual 
breach  of  good  manners. 

Should  any  student  be  marked  adversely  by  as  many 
as  four  of  the  persons  voting,  he  or  she  will  not  be  re- 
registered nor  accepted  as  a  student  at  a  subsequent 
term,  this  with  no  implication  of  expulsion  but  to 
meet  the  standards  adopted  for  our  students. 

The  President  of  the  University  is  directed  to  super- 
vise the  balloting  and  to  warn  all  those  taking  part 
in  it  to  guard  their  votes  against  the  influence  of  per- 
sonal prejudice.  Only  the  best  interests  of  the  stu- 
dents and  the  good  of  the  institution  are  to  be  consid- 
ered. 

The  appointed  officials  of  the  institution  reserve 
the  right  to  suspend  or  expel  any  student  whose  con- 
duct or  lack  of  proper  application  to  his  studies  may,  in 
the  opinion  of  said  officials,  warrant  the  suspension 
or  expulsion.  All  contracts  and  agreements  made 
with  the  students  by  the  University  are  subject  to  the 
above  conditions  for  continued  attendance.

School  of  Liberal  Arts 

Leading  to  the  degree  of  Bachelor  of  Arts  (A.B.) 
in  the  Liberal  Arts 

G.  F.  NicoLAssEN,  Dean 

This  course  of  study  is  intended  to  encourage  es- 
pecially the  study  of  languages,  ancient  and  modern. 

No  Latin  is  required  for  entrance  or  for  gradua- 
tion. But  at  least  one  year  of  Latin  is  very  desirable 
for  the  better  understanding  of  English  words  and 
English  grammar.  Such  a  course  may  be  taken  in 
college. 

Considerable  variety  is  possible  in  following  the 
Curriculum  on  page  66,  as  there  are  two  sections 
of  English  3,  three  in  Spanish  3,  and  the  languages 
may  be  taken  in  almost  any  order.  But  this  arrange- 
ment should  be  followed  in  the  main  to  avoid  conflict 
of  classes  in  the  later  years.  Each  student  in  the 
Liberal  Arts  course  should  consult  the  Dean  at  the 
very  beginning  and  have  his  work  mapped  out  for 
the  whole  four  years. 

At  least  one  year  of  German  and  one  year  of 
French  will  be  required  either  in  High  School  or  in 
College. 

Any  subject  that  has  been  taken  in  High  School 
must  be  replaced  by  an  elective. 

Latin 

Latin  111-2-3.  For  entrance  into  this  class  the  stu- 
dents are  expected  to  have  had  at  least  three  years  of 
high  school  Latin.  They  must  be  able  to  translate  Eng- 


I 


Oglethorpe  University  63 

Jish  into  Latin  with  some  facility.  Livy,  Cicero  de 
Senectute  and  Sallust's  Catiline  will  be  studied  in  this 
year.  A  brief  history  of  Rome  will  also  be  included. 
Prose  composition,  both  oral  and  written,  will  be  car- 
ried on  throughout  the  year.    Elective.    Three  hours. 

Latin  211-2-3  The  studies  in  this  class  will  be  in 
Cicero's  Letters.  Horace  and  Plautus.  A  course  in 
Latin  Literature  will  also  be  given.  Twice  a  week 
throughout  the  year-       Elective.     Two  hours. 

Latin  311-2-3.  This  class  will  begin  with  Terence, 
and  then  take  up  Tacitus  and  Juvenal.  Ancient  Ro- 
man life  will  be  considered  in  this  part  of  the  course. 
Twice  a  week  throughout  the  year.  Elective.  Two 
hours. 


Greek 

Greek  111-2-3.  Preparatory.  This  course  is  designed 
not  merely  for  those  who  have  no  previous  knowledge 
of  the  language,  but  also  for  those  whose  preparation 
is  inadequate.  The  most  important  subjects,  both  in 
inflection  and  syntax,  are  presented  early  in  the

Greek  211-2-3.  The  preparation  for  entrance  into

thoroughness.  The  student  is  expected  to  know  the 
ordinary  Attic  inflections  and  syntax,  to  have  read 
about  one  book  of  the  Anabasis,  and  to  have  had  con-

Written  translations  of  English  into  Greek  are  re- 
quired once  a  week.  On  the  other  days  a  short  oral 
exercise  of  this  kind  forms  a  part  of  the  lesson;  so

lating English  into  Greek.     Elective.     Two  hours.

William  Oli\^r  Ste\^ns,  Acting  Dean 

This  course  leads  to  the  degree  of  bachelor  of  arts, 
and  aims  at  providing  a  general  liberal  education, 
stressing  the  literary  and  other  cultural  subjects. 
Latin  is  not  required  for  entrance,  but  two  or  three 
years  of  Latin  are  desirable. 

The  work  in  English  in  the  college  division  has  the 
two-fold  purpose  of  giving  students  command  over 
the  use  of  their  own  tongue  in  both  speaking  and 
writing,  and  of  familiarizing  them  with  the  best  in 
English  literature.  The  summer  courses,  though  not 
identical  with  the  winter  ones,  are  similar,  thus  en- 
abling a  student  to  complete  a  part  of  his  requirements 
for  a  degree  in  the  summer  term. 

English 

English  111-2-3.    Composition  and  Literature.    The 

purpose  of  this  required  Freshman  course  in  English  is 
to  combine  the  reading  of  examples  of  modern  prose 
and  poetry  with  practice  in  composition,  both  writ- 
ten and  oral.  The  chief  object  of  the  course  is  to 
teach  students  to  express  themselves  correctly,  clear- 
ly, and  effectively.  Continual  emphasis  is  laid  on 
increasing  the  store  of  words.  A  vocabulary  test  is 
given  at  the  beginning  of  the  fall  term,  and  a  second 
one  at  the  end  of  the  spring  term,  to  show  each  stu- 
dent what  progress  he  has  made.  For  those  Fresh- 
men who  are  shown  to  be  in  need  of  special  work  in 
the  fundamentals,  a  remedial  section  is  formed  dur- 
ing the  fall  term  for  drill  in  spelHng,  punctuation, 
and  grammar.     No  college  credit  will  be  given  for 


Oglethorpe  University  71 

this  work,  but  as  soon  as  a  student  makes  sufficient 
progress  he  may  be  given  an  opportunity  to  enter  a 
regular  Freshman  section.  No  student  will  be  per- 
mitted to  take  any  advanced  studies  in  this  depart- 
ment until  he  has  made  a  satisfactory  record  in  Fresh- 
man English.     Three  hours. 

English  141-2-3.  English  Bible.  Old  Testament. 
Two  hours. 

English  211-2-3.  English  Literature  to  1800.  Pre- 
requisite, English  111-2-3.  This  required  course  for 
Sophomores  is  a  survey  of  English  literature  from 
Beowulf  to  Wordsworth.  The  selections  are  studied 
with  special  reference  to  their  historical  backgrounds. 
Students  are  given  frequent  practice  in  composition. 
They  are  required  to  use  the  library  on  special  assign- 
ments, and  they  learn  to  take  notes  from  lectures. 
In  the  study  of  the  different  examples  of  literature, 
types  and  forms  are  analyzed,  including  the  simple 
elements  of  versification.     Three  hours. 

English  251-2-3.  English  Bible.  New  Testament. 
Two  hours. 

The  study  will  include  the  mastery  of  the  history 
contained  in  the  Bible,  an  analysis  of  each  book,  and 
such  other  matters  as  are  required  for  the  proper  un- 
derstanding of  the  work.  It  will  be  treated  not  from 
a  sectarian  point  of  view,  or  as  mere  history  or  liter- 
ature. The  aim  will  bd  to  impart  such  a  knowledge 
of  the  subject  as  every  intelligent  man  should  possess, 
enabling  him  to  read  his  Bible  with  pleasure  and 
profit. 

The  effort  will  be  made  to  give  the  students  the 
proper  defense  of  seeming  difficulties  in  the  Bible, 
both  for  their  own  benefit,  and  that  they  may  be 
able  to  meet  the  objections  of  unbelievers.

English  311-2-3.  The  Modern  Essay.  Prerequisites, 
English  111-2-3  and  211-2-3.  This  is  a  course  open 
to  Juniors  and  Seniors,  especially  those  who  hope  to 
do  professional  writing.  It  centers  about  the  con- 
temporary magazine  and  newspaper  article.  One  of 
the  primary  objects  of  the  course  is  to  introduce  the 
student  to  contemporary  ideas,  especially  those  that 
are  revolutionizing  the  world  today.  Articles  are 
read,  analyzed  and  discussed,  and  frequent  practice 
is  given  in  the  clear  and  orderly  presentation  of 
thought.     Special  emphasis  is  laid  on  essay  structure. 

It  is  an  axiom  of  this  department,  and  of  this  course 
in  particular,  that  the  best  preparation  for  journalism 
is  not  the  learning  of  trade  tricks  for  writing  copy 
but  the  power  to  use  good  English  combined  with 
the  background  of  a  cultural  education.    Three  hours.

Shakespeare  will  be  studied.  There  will  be  oppor- 
tunity for  students  to  try  their  hand  at  one-act  plays 
and,  if  feasible,  play-production.     Three  hours. 

*English  331-2-3.  English  and  American  Poetry

third-year  students.  Once  a  week  throughout  the 
year.     One  hour. 

English  351-2-3.     Mythology  and  Etymology.     The 

first  two  terms  will  be  devoted  to  the  study  of  Myth- 
ology, that  readers  of  English  Literature  may  be  able 
to  understand  allusions  to  classical  stories. 

The  third  term  of  this  course  is  designed  to  show 
the  origin  of  English  words  derived  from  Greek  and 
Latin,  especially  scientific  terms.  Students  looking 
forward  to  medicine  will  find  this  course  particularly 
helpful.  No  knowledge  of  either  language  is  required

Science 

J.  A.  Aldrich,  Acting  Dean 

The  School  of  Science  is  organized  to  help  all  stu- 
dents who  expect  to  make  their  living  by  exploiting 
nature.  It  endeavors  to  build  a  solid  foundation  for 
future  work  in  such  professions  as  Agriculture,  En- 
gineering, Medicine  and  Denftistry,  and  to  prepare 
for  industrial  occupations  not  yet  organized  into  pro- 
fessional groups. 

It  hopes,  through  the  medium  of  its  courses,  to 
build  a  true  perspective  and  its  corollary,  a  sane 
judgment  of  relative  values — attainments  which  are 
basic  in  any  liberal  culture.

of  business  facts,  standards  and  theory  which  the  be- 
ginner finds  it  difficult  or  impossible  to  acquire  in 
his  early  business  experience.  It  avoids  any  pretense 
of  covering  fully  the  practical  details  and  routine  and 
the  special  technique  of  the  particular  business  or  in- 
dustry which  he  will  enter. 

The  Lowry  School  offers  two  regular  courses  of 
study,  the  General  Business  Course  and  the  Account-

paration of  special  studies  in  social  problems.  A  re-

ters  of  Genesis  in  relation  to  modern  discoveries.  It

thorpe University  a  conception  of  the  harmony  be- 
tween religion  and  modern  science  and  is  required  of 
all  fourth  year  students.  It  is  believed  that  this  work 
of  co-ordination  of  modern  science  with  religion  can 
best  be  done  in  the  fourth  year  class,  to  the  end  that 
in  harmonizing  the  truths  learned  their  faith  may 
not  be  unsettled.    One  hour.

Oglethorpe  University 


111 


thorough  grounding  in  good  manners  for  young  men 
and  women  of  college  age.  Many,  even  with  good 
home  background,  discover  that  they  have  no  idea 
just  what  is  expected  of  them  in  certain  situations, 
and  feel  ashamed  to  ask.  Still  more  are  unconscious 
of  the  fact  that  they  are  doing  the  wrong  things  and 
exposing  themselves  to  criticism  whenever  they  do. 
Accordingly,  it  is  an  important  and  practical  part  of 
education  to  know  what  the  rules  are.  Emphasis  is 
placed  on  the  fundamental  principle  of  courtesy  upon 
which  rests  the  great  bulk  of  what  may  be  called 
good  usage  in  manners.  Here  at  Oglethorpe  the  uni- 
versity motto  is  particularly  appropriate  —  "Good 
minds,  good  morals,  good  manners."  Elective.  One 
hour  a  week.

School  of  Physical  Education 

Leading  to  the  Degree  of  Bachelor  of  Arts  (A.B.)  in 
Physical  Education 

John  William  Patrick,  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  and  coaches  in  other 
schools,  colleges  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  sub- 
jects, 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  especial- 
ly 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  demonstra- 
tion. Each  organ  is  studied  with  reference  to  its 
development,  anatomy  and  physiology.  Bones,  mus- 
cles, 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 
miicroscopic  slides.    Weekly  quizzes  are  supplemented 


Oglethorpe  University  113 

by  written  tests  given  upon  the  completion  of  some 
general  division  of  the  subject. 

Biology  131-2-3.  Physiology  and  Personal  Hygiene. 
Three  lectures  weekly  throughout  the  year.  Section 
A,  Monday,  Wednesday  and  Friday  at  8:30  A.M.

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- 
cal 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 


114  Oglethorpe  University 

intramural  sports,  to  provide  facilities  for  this  par- 
ticipation, to  organize  and  promote  intramural  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  which  naturally  follows. 

Intramural  competitors,  strangers  at  first  but  later 
friends,  learn  courage,  determination,  and  self  con- 
trol. 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 
physical  exercise  every  day  of  the  school  year.  Too 
much  emphasis  cannot  be  placed  on  this  particular 
phase  of  athletics.

Scholarships  for  Athletics 

We  are  constantly  receiving  inquiries  from  pros- 
peotive  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  Oglethorpe  is 
in  the  same  way  that  other  students  are  aided,  by 
such  self-help  jobs  as  it  may  be  possible  for  them  to 
fill  consistent  with  their  week-end  absences.  These 
positions  pay  from  twenty  to  forty  cents  per  hour 
and  if  occupied  industriously  and  efficiently  will  cov- 
er the  student's  college  expenses  in  large  part.     The 


116  Oglethorpe  University 

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 
exactly  alike,  neither  favoring  nor  discriminating 
against  a  boy  who  happens  to  be  a  fine  football  play- 
er. 

Rules  for  Eligibility  of  Players  in  Inter-Collegiate 
Sports  at  Oglethorpe  University 

1.  All  students  engaging  in  inter-collegiate  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  inter-collegiate  sports 
must  carry  at  least  twelve  hours  (24  semester  hours) 
of  standard  college  work. 

3.  All  students  engaging  in  varsity  inter-collegiate 
sports  must  have  passed  not  less  than  twelve  hours 
of  work  during  the  preceding  year,  or  under  the  new 
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  inter-collegiate  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 


Oglethorpe  University  117 

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  tuition,  which  sum  is  remitted 
for  the  purpose  of  paying  hospital,  doctor,  dentist 
bills,  etc.,  in  case  of  injuries  or  treatments  made  nec- 
essary by  their  participation  in  any  game  and  per- 
sonal assumption  of  the  risks  thereby  involved. 


118  Oglethorpe  University 

Extension  Division 

H.  J.  Gaertner,  Dean 

The  work  is  largely  planned  for  those  working  for 
Bachelor's  or  Master's  Degrees.  Accordingly,  Ogle- 
thorpe will  date  the  educational  history  of  each  stu- 
dent and  plan  the  work  necessary  for  graduation. 

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  ful- 
filled the  following  requirements:  Science,  6  year 
hours;  Foreign  Language,  5  or  6  year  hours;  Educa- 
tion, 12  year  hours;  Enghsh,  6  year  hours;  History,  3 
year  hours. 

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  62  year  hours  of  accept- 
able credits.  A  minimum  of  fifteen  year  hours  must 
be  taken  in  Oglethorpe  University. 

For  a  detailed  statement  of  the  subjects  offered, 
see  page  96  of  this  catalogue. 

The  Master's  degree  is  based  on  the  Bachelor's  de- 
gree. The  minimum  requirement  for  the  Master's  is 
fifteen  year  hours. 

A  thesis,  approved  by  the  thesis  committee,  is  also 
required.  If  the  student  wishes,  however,  he  may 
take  3  year  hours  additional  in  lieu  of  a  thesis. 

In  addition  to  the  Extension  Division,  Oglethorpe 
University  offers  a  Summer  Quarter  divided  into  two 
terms  of  5i/^  weeks  each.     Concentrating  intensively 


Oglethorpe  University  119 

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. 

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  offer- 
ing for  teaching  places  is  so  large  that  we  are  rap- 
idly approaching  the  time  when  college  graduation 
will  be  required  as  a  minimum  for  the  profession. 

Tuition  is  payable  by  the  term  (or  year  hour)  in 
advance.  However,  arrangements  can  be  made  to  di- 
vide this  into  two  payments  per  term.

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 toward  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, 
under  competent  medical  guidance.  Special  attention 
is  at  present  given  to  outdoor  athletics.  Adequate 
provision  is  being  made  for  football  and  baseball 
grounds,  tennis  courts,  etc.  A  Fencing  team  has  been 
organized  and  is  being  coached  by  Mr.  Heyl  Tebo. 
Work  on  Hermance  Stadium  has  begun  and  a  section 
is  finished  providing  accommodations  for  five  thou- 
sand spectators  and  participants. 

Lake  Phoebe 

Besides  having  those  sports  common  to  all  well 
equipped  colleges  in  the  South,  Oglethorpe  Univer- 
sity is  the  fortunate  possessor  of  a  beautiful  lake 
covering  eighty  acres  located  conveniently  to  the  Uni- 
versity campus,  with  a  part  of  its  shores  set  aside 
for  a  university  boat  house.     This  will  enable  the 


124  Oglethorpe  University 

institution  to  add  a  crew  to  its  list  of  athletic  sports. 
The  lake  is  admirably  suited  for  boating,  rowing, 
swimming  and  fishing. 

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 
and  strength  and  faith  and  prayer.  If  her  judg- 
ments 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  uni- 
versities 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. 

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 


Oglethorpe  University  125 

valuable  reference  works  in  special  departments.  The 
private  libraries  of  Dr.  Aldrich  in  Science,  of  Dr.  Nic- 
olassen  in  the  Classics  and  of  Dr.  Burrows  in  Edu- 
cation are  all  available  for  the  use  of  the  students 
in  these  departments.  The  policy  of  the  institution  is 
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  1937-38  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. 

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.  During  the  last  three 
years  daily  preaching  services  have  been  held  for 
one  or  two  weeks  by  Rev.  Peter  Marshall,  pastor  of 
Westminster  Presbyterian  Church,  Atlanta,  Ga. 

Oglethorpe  Goat-of-Arms 

Among  the  unique  honors  offered  at  the  university 
is  the  presentation  of  a  sweater  with  the  Coat-of- 
Arms  blazoned  thereon,  which  will  be  awarded  in  the 
future  under  the  terms  of  the  following  resolution 
unanimously  adopted  by  the  Faculty  of  the  univer- 
sity, upon  recommendation  of  the  President: 

"Resolved,  that  on  and  after  September  1st,  1922, 
the  Coat-of-Arms  of  Oglethorpe  University  shall  be 


126 


Oglethorpe  University 


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."

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  in  that  city,  on  a  most  beautiful 
campus  of  over  six  hundred  acres  of  woodland  and 
meadow,  including  an  eighty  acre  lake  which  belongs 
to  our  students  for  swimming,  boating  and  fishing, 
the  physical  advantages  offered  by  Oglethorpe  Univ- 
ersity are  unsurpassed  anywhere  in  the  section. 


128  Oglethorpe  University 

One  by  one  a  splendid  body  of  buildings  is  being 
erected  on  its  campus.  Every  one  of  them  will  be  of 
granite  trimmed  with  limestone  and  covered  with 
variegated  slates.  All  of  them  will  be  as  fire  proof 
as  human  skill  can  make  them,  and  as  commodious 
and  comfortable  as  our  architects  can  plan  them.  They 
will  be  like  the  first  buildings  already  erected,  which 
are  believed  to  be  the  safest,  most  beautiful  and  most 
efficient  college  or  university  buildings  in  the  South- 


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  offer- 
ed our  students.  The  tremendous  influence  of  such 
contact  upon  the  young  lives  committed  to  us  will  be 
felt  in  their  increased  ambition  and  redoubled  deter- 
mination to  perform,  themselves,  their  duty  to  their 
race  and  their  God.

Silent  Faculty  at  Oglethorpe 

It  is  not  going  too  far  to  say  that  the  aesthetic 
tastes  and  home  habits  of  many  young  men  are  ruined 
at  college  by  the  cheap  and  unattractive  furnishings 
of  their  rooms  and  the  ugly  forbidding  architecture 
of  the  buildings,  whose  walls  often  deface  their  cam- 
pus. The  architecture  of  an  institution  of  learning 
should  be  a  constant  source  of  delight  and  inspiration 
to  its  students,  teaching  quietly  but  surely  the  highest 
ideals  of  life.  Indeed  all  those  qualities  of  soul  we 
know  as  honesty,  solidity,  dignity,  durability,  rever- 
ence and  beauty  may  be  expressed  in  the  face  of  a 
building  and  are  so  expressed  on  the  Oglethorpe 
campus. 

Not  less  important  are  the  personal  surroundings 
of  the  student's  room.  Cheap,  ugly  and  ill-equipped 
apartments  have  exactly  the  same  influence  on  the 
soul  of  a  boy  that  cheap,  ugly  and  ill-equipped  human 
companions  have.  That  is  why  the  rooms  at  Ogle- 
thorpe are  handsomely  furnished.  The  sons  of  the 
poor  are  entitled  to  the  information  and  inspiration 
such  surroundings  offer,  and  the  sons  of  the  rich  will 
deteriorate  without  them. 

In  brief  the  college  education  that  does  not  teach  a 
love  of  beauty  and  tidiness  and  what  is  popularly 
called  decency  is  essentially  and  dangerously  defective. 

This  is  the  special  work  of  the  silent  faculty  at 
Oglethorpe.

contact  and  instruction  of  the  heads  of  departments 
will  note  with  interest  that  Oglethorpe  offers  excep- 
tional opportunities  of  that  nature.  It  is  well  known 
that  in  all  our  large  institutions  only  the  upper  class- 
men come  into  any  close  contact  with  the  full  profes- 
sors, who  as  heads  of  departments  occupy  their  time 
in  other  matters  than  in  educating  freshmen. 

We  believe  in  giving  our  freshmen  the  best  we  have, 
and  they  will  be  taught  by  men  who  have  taught  in  or 
had  offered  them,  chairs  in  the  greatest  universities 
of  America.  This  will  be  a  permanent  policy  at 
Oglethorpe. 

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  postof fice, 
express  office  and  railway  station,  all  known  as  Ogle- 
thorpe University,  Georgia. 

Woman's  Board 

One  of  the  most  remarkable  gatherings,  even  in 
this  city  of  remarkable  gatherings,  was  the  assemb- 
ling of  approximately  two  hundred  of  the  represen- 
tative women  of  the  city  of  Atlanta  at  the  home  of 
President  Thornwell  Jacobs,  Saturday  afternoon,  No- 
vember 25,  1916,  to  organize  a  Woman's  Board  for 
Oglethorpe  University. 

The  purpose  of  the  Board  is  to  aid  the  University 


OGLiyrHORPE    University  131 

in  every  wise  and  efficient  way,  with  counsel  of,  and 
guidance  by  the  proper  authorities  of  the  institution. 
Already  more  than  four  hundred  of  the  finest  work- 
ers and  most  representative  women  of  the  city  have 
offered  their  services  and  joined  the  organization. 
Their  activities  are  directed  toward  the  support  and 
development  of  Oglethorpe  in  every  phase  of  its 
growth  and  activities.  Each  of  the  ladies  is  assigned 
to  the  committee  on  which  she  feels  she  is  best  able 
to  serve.  These  committees  cover  the  various  depart- 
ments of  the  University.  They  are:  Ways  and  Means, 
Finance,  Grounds,  Press,  Entertainment,  Hospital, 
Music,  Library,  Arts,  Refreshments,  Transportation, 
and  such  other  committees  as  it  may  seem  wise  to  the 
Board  from  time  to  time  to  appoint. 

The  authorities  of  the  University  welcome  the  for- 
mation of  this  organization  with  the  greatest  joy. 

The  mere  fact  that  they  have  promised  a  devoted 
allegiance  to  the  enterprise  has  its  own  genuine  value, 
but  those  who  know  the  women  of  Atlanta,  with  their 
marvelous  capacity  for  earnest  and  consecrated  work 
directed  by  a  swift  and  accurate  intelligence,  will 
realize  what  must  be  the  results  of  the  efficient  aid 
which  they  are  giving  to  the  institution. 

The  Woman's  Board  has  established  a  permanent 
endowment  fund,  and  has  been  incorporated  under  the 
laws  of  Georgia  in  preparation  for  handling  funds 
donated  or  bequeathed  to  the  University  through  the 
Woman's  Board. 

Officers  and  Chairmen  of  the  various  committees 
for  the  year  1936-37  are  as  follows  : 

President,  Mrs.,  Willis    Westmoreland;    1st    Vice-

1.  That  they  desire  for  themselves  and  their  associates  and 
successors  to  be  incorporated  and  made  a  body  politic  under  the 
name  and  style  of  Oglethorpe  University — for  a  period  of 
Twenty  Years. 

2.  The  purpose  of  this  corporation  is  educational,  and  its 
principal  place  of  business  and  corporate  home  shall  be  in  the 
County  of  Fulton  and  the  State  of  Georgia,  but  it  prays  the 
right  and  power  to  extend  its  operations  and  hold  property  in 
different  counties  of  this  state. 

3.  That  said  corporation  shall  be  granted  the  power  to  re- 
ceive by  gift,  donation,  purchase  or  bequest  property  of  what 
ever  kind  or  character  and  wherever  situated;  to  receive  and

as  may  be  provided  in  the  trust  granting  same;  to  establish  and 
conduct  a  University  for  the  purpose  of  promoting  education 
of  such  kind  and  character  as  may  be  desirable  and  desired  and

order,  receive  donations,  make  purchases,  and  effect  all  alien- 
ations of  realty  and  personalty,  not  for  the  purpose  of  trade

may  belong  to  it,  and  to  hold  as  trust  funds  any  property  that 
may  be  placed  in  trust  for  scholarship  or  other  purpose  con- 
nected with  education,  and  generally  to  have  such  corporate 
powers  as  may  be  suitable  and  not  inconsistent  with  the  laws 
of  this  state,  nor  violative  of  private  rights.

herein  granted. 

5.  The  Oglethorpe  University  has  no  capital  stock,  and  all 
property  owned  or  acquired  hereafter  by  it  is  to  be  held  for 
the  purpose  of  an  educational  university.  Petitioners  desire 
that  the  Oglethorpe  University  when  incorporated  shall  have 
the  right  to  sue  and  to  be  sued,  to  plead  and  to  be  impleaded,  to 
have  and  use  a  common  seal,  to  make  all  necessary  by-laws

sary for  the  successful  accomplishment  of  its  purpose  as  a 
University;  with  the  right  to  execute  notes  and  bonds  as  evi- 
dence of  indebtedness  incurred  or  which  may  be  incurred  in 
the  conduct  of  the  affairs  of  the  corporation  and  to  secure  the 
same  by  mortgages,  security,  deed,  bond,  or  other  form  of  lien 
under  existing  laws  as  well  as  under  any  other  laws  that  may 
hereafter  be  passed. 

6.  They  desire  for  the  said  corporation  the  power  and  au- 
thority to  apply  for  and  accept  amendments  to  its  charter  of 
either  form  or  substance  by  a  vote  of  a  majority  of  its  Board' 
of  Directors. 

7.  They  desire  for  the  said  corporation  the  right  of  renewal 
when  and  as  provided  by  the  laws  of  Georgia,  and  that  it  have 
all  such  other  rights  powers,  privileges  and  communities  as 
are  incident  to  like  corporations  or  permissible  under  the  laws 
of  Georgia.  Wherefore  petitioners  pray  to  be  incorporated 
under  the  name  and  style  aforesaid  with  powers,  privileges 
and  communities  herein  set  forth,  and  as  are  now,  or  may 
hereafter  be,  allowed  a  corporation  of  similar  character  under

University 

PETITION  TO  AMEND 
GEORGIA— Fulton  County. 

The   petition   of    Oglethorpe    Univei-sity   respectfully   shows: 

1.  That  by  an  order  of  this  honorable  court,  petitioner  was 
duly  incorporated  on  the  8th  day  of  May,  1913;  to  which  pro- 
ceedings reference  is  made. 

2.  That  Paragraph  4  of  said   charter  granted  as  aforesaid, 


Oglethorpe    University  159 


is   sought  to   be   amended  by   enlarging  the   scope   thereof,   by 
substituting  in  lieu  of  the  original  Paragraph  4  the  following: 

The  corporate  functions  which  shall  mean  the  control  of  the 
property  of  the  corporation,  its  purchase,  sale  and  other  dis- 
position shall  be  by  a  Board  of  Trustees  of  such  number  as 
may  be  provided  in  the  by-laws;  no  one  is  or  shall  ever  be 
eligible  to  membership  on  such  board  except  a  member  in 
good  standing  of  a  Presbyterian  or  Reformed  Church.  This 
Board  shall  be  elected  from  among  those  of  the  Board  of 
Founders,  hereinafter  provided  for,  who  shall  possess  the 
requisite  qualifications.  No  mortgage,  sale  or  other  disposition 
of  the  real  property  of  the  corporation  shall  ever  be  made 
except  by  vote  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  in  a  regular  meeting 
or  in  special  meeting  called  therefor.  Notice  must  be  given 
in  the  call  for  any  such  special  meeting  of  the  purpose  to  con- 
sider such  disposition. 

There  shall  be  a  Board  of  Founders,  of  such  number  as  may 
be  prescribed  by  the  by-laws,  who  shall  be  persons  who  have 
shown  their  interest  in  the  purposes  of  the  University  by  con- 
tributing thereto,  or  in  whose  behalf  there  has  been  contributed 
in  cash,  property,  or  solvent  promises  not  less  than  one  thou- 
sand 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,  of- 
ficers, faculty,  and  courses  of  study;  to  elect  from  among  its 
members  the  Board  of  Trustees;  to  borrow  money  but  not  to 
secure  the  same  by  lien  on  the  real  property;  to  elect  from 
eligible  persons  successors  of  the  present  Board  of  Founders; 
to  create  an  Executive  Committee  with  authority  to  perform 
all  functions  when  the  Board  is  not  in  session,  as  may  be 
provided  for  in  the  by-laws  and  to  perform  generally  the  ad- 
ministrative functions  of  the  University.  The  present  Board 
of  Trustees-Founders  shall  constitute  the  Board  of  Founders, 
whose  members  and  their  successors  hold  for  life  unless  they 
are  removed  or  resign. 

3.  That  at  a  regular  meeting  of  the  duly  authorized  of- 
ficers of  the  corporation  held  in  accordance  with  the  charter 
thereof,  the  aforesaid  amendment  was  authorized  as  appears 
from  a  copy  of  the  resolutions  attached  hereto,  marked  EX- 
HIBIT A. 

WHEREFORE,   petitioner   prays   an   order  of  this   honorable 
court  amending  its  charter  as  aforesaid.

presented  to  the  University  library  by  Miss  Emmia  Thomas,

ecutive Committee.) 

Oglethorpe  University 

It  has  already  been  announced,  that  this  Institution  will 
commence  its  exercises  on  the  first  Monday  of  January,  1838. 
The  Board  of  Trustees,  while  again  calling  public  attention 
to  this  fact,  offer  some  remarks  in  explanation  to  a  new  feature 
which  they  may  have  given  to  its  character. 

The  University  will  consist  of  three  departments.  Collegiate, 
Academic,  and   I*rimary. 

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.

prepared  to  stand  an  examination  on  Caesar's  Commentaries,

The    Academic    Department   will    consist    of    those    who   are 
preparing  for  entrance  into  this  or  any  other  college. 


Oglethorpe    University  163 


The  Primary  Department  will  be  composed  of  those  pur- 
suing the  ordinary  branches  of  an  English  education. 

The  students  of  these  two  departments  as  well  as  the  Col- 
legiate, will  be  instructed  by  the  Faculty  of  the  College. 

In  consequence  of  this  arrangement,  boys,  in  the  early  stage 
of  their  literary  course,  will  enjoy  advantages  perhaps  un- 
surpassed in  this  country,  as  they  will  be  taught  by  a  regular 
Faculty,  while  the  students  of  the  college  will  receive  the  full 
amount  of  instruction  ordinarily  given  them,  as  will  be  seen 
by  a  reference  to  the  course  of  study.  This  system  will  vastly 
increase  the  labor  of  the  Faculty;  this  labor  they  have  how- 
ever consented  to  undergo. 

The  adoption  of  this  new  plan  has  been  caused  by  the  pecu- 
liar state  of  the  times.  Though  the  amount  on  our  subscrip- 
tion list  is  sufficient  to  warrant  the  commencement  of  the  work 
in  its  original  form,  yet  from  the  present  state  of  affairs,  it 
would  have  been  more  than  indelicate  to  call  upon  many  in- 
dividuals for  their  subscriptions.  On  the  other  hand,  many 
parents  have  been  making  arrangements  to  send  their  sons  to 
Midway  during  the  next  year.  Such  persons  it  would  be 
painful  to  disappoint,  yet  it  would  be  impossible  to  proceed 
for  want  of  surplus  in  hand.  The  course  now  announced  as 
being  adopted,  was  then  proposed — ^that  is,  to  bring  the  Acad- 
emy and  College  under  the  government  and  instruction  of  the 
same  President  and  Professors.  By  this  arrangement  the  ex- 
pense of  the  institution  vnll  be  sustained,  and  all  difficulties 
in  its  way  removed. 

The  Board  of  Trustees  takes  this  occasion  to  say  that  this 
year  the  Steward's  Hall  will  be  discontinued.  This  is  done, 
that  there  may  be  no  hindrance  in  the  way  of  such  persons  as 
may  wish  to  move  to  Midway  for  the  purpose  of  taking 
boarders. 

The  Trustees  close  this  communication  by  suggesting  to 
parents,  (who  desire  their  children  to  be  educated,  and  who 
cannot  afford  to  send  them  abroad  for  this  purpose)  the  pro- 
priety of  settling  themselves  at  Midway.  By  taking  boarders, 
the  expenses  of  their  family  could  be  more  sustained,  and 
their  children  of  all  ages  receive  thorough  and  finished  edu- 
cation. To  others  disposed  to  turn  their  attention  to  keeping 
boarders  as  a  business,  we  would  suggest  that  Midway  offers 
inducements  inferior  to  few  if  any  other  positions  at  the  South 
— a  healthy  and  delightful  location,  and  as  many  boarders  as 
they  may  be  able  to  accommodate. 

By  order  of  the  Executive  Committee. 

B.  P.  STUBBS,  Secretary.
