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

The Government of the University
Board of Founders*
The details of the management of Oglethorpe Uni-
versity are handled by an Executive Committee of
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.

26 Oglethorpe University
Historical Sketch
The historical genesis of Oglethorpe University
takes us back to the middle of the eighteenth century
when, under the leadership of Presbyterian men,
Princeton College was founded in New Jersey and rap-
idly became the institution largely patronized by the
young men from Presbyterian families all over the
world. After a while the long 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 great geologist. James
Woodrow, the brilliant and devoted Christian and sci-
Oglethorpe University 27
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 des-
troyed. 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-five 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).
28 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-five 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 29
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 of America. 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
30 Oglethorpe University
campuses in the entire world. In the summer of 1929
Mr. Hearst gave to the University the entire Silver
Lake Estates, four hundred acres of primeval forest
surrounding an eighty acre lake with something like
five miles of graded roads winding through it. As
this property immediately adjoins the two hundred
acres already possessed by the University, the com-
pleted campus consists of a body of six hundred acres
of land in one tract in the immediate vicinity of At-
lanta, on Peachtree Road and on the main line of the
Southern Railroad. This gift of Mr. Hearst provides
for the University ample space for future development
and protects its growth from encroachment by urban
Atlanta whose suburbs are rapidly surrounding the
campus.
Hermance Stadium
During the summer of 1929 the first section of
Hermance Stadium was erected at a cost of something
over $100,000. Like all the other Oglethorpe build-
ings it is constructed of granite, trimmed with carved
limestone. The seats are of reinforced concrete. This
first section which seats about five thousand, com-
prises approximately one-ninth of the total seating
capacity . When completed it will have cost something
like $750,000 and will have a seating capacity of ap-
proximately that of the Roman Colosseum, 45,000. It
is named in honor of Dr. and Mrs. Harry P. Hermance,
Hal Hermance and Miss Helena Hermance, the don-
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 31
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.
32 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
growing demand for specially equipped men in every
department of human activity.
Students who are looking forward to university
work are invited to correspond with the President in
order that they may prepare themselves for the ad-
vanced courses which are to be offered.
Adequate library and laboratory facilities are pro-
vided. Free use is made of the city of Atlanta, in
itself a remarkable laboratory of industrial and scien-
tific life, whose museums, libraries, and municipal
plants are at the disposal of our students for 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.
In front of the entrance to the campus is the term-
inus of the Oglethorpe University street car line, and
an attractive little stone station of the Southern Rail-
way main line between Atlanta and Washington. The
first building to be located on the campus, the Ad-
ministration Building, contains in the basement a din-
ing room; on the ground floor, chemistry and physics
lecture rooms, and laboratories, the administrative
Oglethorpe University 33
offices and lounging room for young ladies attending
the college ; on the second and third floors, the hospital
and dormitories. Lupton Hall contains the library, the
President's office, class rooms, dormitories, an Assem-
bly Hall seating approximately six hundred, equipped
also as a theatre for the presentation of student dram-
as, and in the basement, basketball court, swimming
pool, lockers and showers, and quarters for the Uni-
versity Press. 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 Univer-
sity.
Lowry Hall houses the Lowry School of Banking
and Commerce, and the Art Studios. It is largely a
replica of old Corpus Christi College, Oxford, the
alma mater of James Edward Oglethorpe. It contains
class rooms and dormitories, and will stand as a per-
petual memorial to the generosity of Colonel R. J.
Lowry and Emma Markham Lowry.

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-
ment* set up by the State Board of Education.
Oglethorpe University 37
(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 ;
38 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
Oglethorpe University 39
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
40 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 41
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
42 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 notably 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 4S
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 list 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-
44 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 45
two weeks allowed for changing, dropping, or adding
subjects, 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.
46 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 47
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 in charge.
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 reported to the Registrar,
and if a student accumulates a total of 20 unexcused
absences from classes or four absences from Assemb-
ly in a term, he shall be required by the Dean of hjs
48 Oglethorpe University
school to take an additional hour of work before being
recommended 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 49
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.
50 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.
While each of these courses is so shaped as to in-
fluence the student towards a certain end, colored
largely by the type of studies, yet each course will
be found to include such subjects of general culture
as are necessary to the making of a life as distin-
guished from a living.
Graduates of standard normal schools or junior col-
leges are admitted to the junior class.
Examinations, Credits, Graduation
In place of the Comprehensive Examinations the
following system of Quality Points has been adopted:
Superior A (90-99) — 3 quality points for each
year hour.
Good B (80-89) — 2 quality points for each year
hour.
Fair C (70-79) — 1 quality point for each year
hour.
Oglethorpe University 61
Passing D (60-69) — no quality points.
Condition E (50-59) — re-examination allowed.
Failure F (below 50) — no re-examination.
Inc. — Incomplete.
In the junior division of the college 30 quality
points must have been achieved before the student
is recognized as being in the senior division. The stu-
dent lacking the required 30 points will be required
to remain in the junior college until the needed qual-
ity points have been achieved through further
studies. For graduation in the senior college the
student must have achieved 30 additional quality
points in senior college studies, or a total of 60 qual-
ity points for graduation and the degree. Transfer
students must achieve 15 quality points for each year
spent in study in Oglethorpe University.
On and after September 1, 1938 no fractional cred-
its made either in Oglethorpe University or by tran-
script from another institution will be recognized for
graduation in any freshman or sophomore subject.
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.
52 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.
Oglethorpe University 53
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.
54 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 now
finished, 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
Oglethorpe University 55
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)
to be credited on first payment for room rent.
All students rooming in the dormitories are required
also to board at the college cafeteria and any student
not rooming on the college campus may take his or her
meals at the cafeteria. Students employed by the
University must board and room on the campus.
The charge for board and room rent per term is as
follows:
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 unused meal tickets, and no transfer
of use of meal tickets from one term to another is
allowed. The University assumes no responsibility
for, and will not replace, any meal tickets which may
be lost or mutilated. All charges are payable in ad-
vance 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 call-
ed 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
56 Oglethorpe University
$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 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.
If 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 57
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.
Contingent Fee
A contingent fee of $3.00 per term (non return-
able) is charged to cover breakages, damages to prop-
erty and similar minor losses due to students, and to
cover, in part, cost of intra-mural athletics. This fee
will be raised or lowered in proportion to the losses
sustained by the University, as above.
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, including
payment of charges.
Infirmary
The University maintains at all times an excellent
58 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 baggag© 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 59
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
60 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 and the Registrar. 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 accomplished, and the quality of it
must be such as to satisfy the Professors concerned
and the whole Faculty.
In this connection the prospective student will be
interested in learning that all Professors chosen as
the heads of departments in Oglethorpe University
must have attained the highest academic degree offer-

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 63
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 71, as there are two sections
of English 1, three in Spanish 1, 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 jGerman 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-
Oglethorpe University 65
lish into Latin with some facility. Livy and Horace
will be studied in this year. Prose composition, both
oral and written, will be carried on throughout the

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

course and then, by a system of weekly reviews, are
kept constantly fresh.
Text-Books: White's First Greek Book, Xenophon's
Anabasis (Goodwin and White). Three times a week
throughout the year. Elective. Three hours.
Greek 211-2-3. The preparation for entrance into
this class is not so much a matter of time as of
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-
siderable practice in translating English into Greek.
A part of the work of this class consists of the min-
ute study of the verbs, their principal parts, synopsis
of tenses, and inflection of certain portions.
66 Oglethorpe University
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
that in each recitation some practice is had in trans-
lating English into Greek. Elective. Two hours.
Text-Books: Xenophon's Anabasis (Goodwin and
White), Memorabilia, Adams's Lysias, Goodwin's

School of Literature and Journalism
Robert L. Ormsby, 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 spelling, punctuation,
and grammar. No college credit will be given for
Oglethorpe University 73
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 be to impart such a knowledge
of the subject as every intelligent man should possess,
enabling him to read his Bible with pleasure and
profit.
The effort will be made to give the students the
proper defense of seeming difficulties in the Bible,
both for their own benefit, and that they may be
able to meet the objections of unbelievers.

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.

Mark Burrows, Dean
The aim of all instruction in the Lowry School of
Banking and Commerce is to furnish the general basis
of business facts, standards and theory which the be-
ginner finds it difficult or impossible to acquire in

the special technique of the particular business or in-
dustry which he will enter.
The Lowry School offers two regular courses of

ing course. The aim is to concentrate upon the fun-
damentals of business, and with this in view every
student is required to obtain a thorough knowledge
of the basic subjects including accounting, finance,
economics, and business law.

lines of work beside that of teaching. The school is
a good preparation for dealing with all forms of hu-
man contact sides of life work. We especially recom-
mend the courses in shorthand and typewriting to be
taken as part of the electives in the third or fourth
year or earlier by students preparing for secretarial
careers, or commercial teaching in high schools.

liest times to the present. The plan contemplated
is a combination of history, musical form, and appre-
ciation. While the historical phase is interesting, and
an understanding of musical form appeals to the in-
tellectual and scientific, the main object is to cultivate
increased appreciation of its beauty and of its power
as an instrument of expression. The course will intro-
duce simple and primitive forms with explanations
and illustrations. This will be followed in proper se-
quence by the folk songs, the dance form, the suite,
108 Oglethorpe University
grand opera, oratorio, and the symphony. Attention
will be given to instrumentation and the development
of the modern orchestra. Illustrative material will
be supplied by the living voice, the piano, and the

course will be semi-laboratory in its presentation.
Those taking the course for college credit may pre-
sent it as a three hour elective in the School of Edu-
cation.

subject embracing such topics as the evolution of the
more important social ideals and institutions and their
present status ; socialism and social control ; social
pathology and methods of social investigation, and an
estimation of progress. An examination of the prin-
ciples of the subject with some attempt to give the
student a first hand insight by means of visits to in-
stitutions, exercises, questions for debate and the pre-
paration of special studies in social problems. A re-
quired course in the School of Education and Secre-
tarial Preparation. Elective to others. Open only to
third and fourth year students. Three times a week
throughout the year. Three hours.
Cosmic History 431-2-3 by President Jacobs. In
the endeavor to give the graduates of the University
a course that will co-ordinate the knowledge they have
obtained on such subjects as Biology, Geology, Pale-
ontology, etc., with their work in Bible, Ethics and
Philosophy, the President of the University will meet
the Senior Class one hour per week, Thursday at 11 :30
in a seminar covering the story of human life follow-
ing the broad outlines of Astronomy, Geology, Paleon-
tology, Embryology, Anthropology and Archaeology.
The course closes with a study of the first ten chap-
Oglethorpe University 109
ters of Genesis in relation to modern discoveries. It
is especially designed to give the graduates of Ogle-
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.
Sociology 501-2-3. Marriage. Not a sensational
course. Presentation of the proper relationships in
life.
School of Fine Arts

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.
The science courses listed are 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
microscopic slides. Weekly quizzes are supplemented
Oglethorpe University 117
by written tests given upon the completion of some
general division of the subject.
History and Principles of Physical Education 121-2-
3. Three lectures weekly throughout the year. This
course deals with the history of physical education in
Europe and the Orient. The course also deals with the
History of physical education in America. Primarily
the aim of this course is to relate the story of physi-
cal education from the earliest times to the modern.
The political, social, and religious conditions which de-
termine the presence or absence, or the character of
physical education are discussed at length. Three
hours.
Varsity Coaching — Football, basketball, and base-
ball 111-2-3. Three lectures weekly throughout the
year. Classes conducted by Varsity head coaches in
respective departments. Fundamentals, strategy, psy-
chology pertaining to athletics, the art of coaching and

A.M. Three hours.
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
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-
pective students concerning "athletic scholarships."
The only scholarships offered by the University are
given as rewards for exceptional high school and col-
lege attainment. The only way in which a football
or baseball player can receive aid at 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
Oglethorpe University 121
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
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.
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
122 Oglethorpe University
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.
Oglethorpe University 123
ADULT EDUCATION 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; English, 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 pages 99 and 100 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, Oglethorpe University offers a Summer
Quarter divided into two terms of 5% weeks each.
Concentrating intensively on a few subjects each class
124 Oglethorpe University
meets six times a week. Three hours each term or
six hours during the quarter is the regular amount of
credit earned. A year hour is two semester hours.
By these plans teachers combining the year's 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 term (or year hour) in ad-
vance. However, arrangements can be made to di-
vide this into two payments per term.

SUPPLEMENT TO STUDENT REGULATIONS
A student accumulating a total of ten unexcused
absences from all classes in one term will forfeit one
hour of credit and two quality points. A total of four
absences in one term from the Tuesday morning As-
sembly carries the same penalty.
All absences concerning illness are to be referred to
and approved by Miss Feebeck, head of the infirmary.
Absences concerning college affairs are to be referred
to and approved by Dean Patrick. All absences are
to be handed in to the Registrar's office, and students
are not to be excused by any other faculty member.
Excused absences are those caused by illness, ab-
sence from classes on account of college duties, or for
other reasons approved by the dean.
Continued and deliberate cutting of classes may in-
volve dismissal from the University.
Absences will be counted from the first regular class
session, whether the student is enrolled at the time or
not, unless excused by the Dean.
A student must pass at least 50 per cent of his
work each term ; failure for two successive terms shall
automatically cause the student to be dropped, provid-
ed however that if such student has registered for the
ensuing term he may continue until the completion
thereof, and if he shall have exhibited a marked im-

may recommend to the faculty the continuance of such
student.
In the Summer School students must register with-
in six days after beginning of each term.

The Faculty and. Administrative Officers of the Uni-
versity reserve to themselves the right to make any

THE CRYPT OF CIVILIZATION
Beneath the Administration building a Crypt fit-
ted with a stainless steel door and lined with stain-
less steel plates has been prepared for the reception
of a collection of material representing a cross section
of civilization of today and the sum total of human
knowledge of our times. This consists of micro book
records of all of the important books in the world, a
complete photographic history of the United States
since 1837, in still pictures, and since 1898, in motion
pictures; and working models of all of our important
inventions. All of this material will be sealed in con-
tainers of glass from which the air has been evacuat-
ed and replaced with an inert gas. The glass contain-
ers are in turn placed inside transite and steel cases.
When the material has been finally assembled the
Crypt will be sealed, to remain inviolate for six
thousand years. All of the material will be copied in
duplicate on cellulose acetate film and on metal strips.
Tests indicate that this will survive until the opening
of the Crypt.
Historiographic Museum
This museum is now being established at Oglethorpe.
It is the first photographic museum in the world. It is
128 Oglethorpe University
devoted entirely to the history of the United States
as illustrated by still, sound, and motion pictures. The
collection is already started at the University, and a
building will be built to house it and an organization
set in motion to carry on its work permanently. This
will provide the greatest collection of contemporary
American history available anywhere.

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. Work on Hermance Sta-
dium has begun and a section is finished providing
accommodations for five thousand 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
Oglethorpe University 131
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
132 Oglethorpe University
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 1938-39 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 in the Oglethorpe Auditorium.
Oglethorpe Coat-of-Arms
Among the unique honors offered at the university
is the presentation of a sweater with the Coat-of-
Arms blazoned thereon, which will be awarded in the
future under the terms of the following resolution
unanimously adopted by the Faculty of the univer-
sity, upon recommendation of the President:
"Resolved, that on and after September 1st, 1922,
the Coat-of-Arms of Oglethorpe University shall be
Oglethorpe University
133
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.
Oglethorpe University 135
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-
east.
The Oglethorpe Site— Atlanta
The attractions of the city of Atlanta as an educa-
tional center are fast making it one of the great in-
tellectual dynamos of the nation. Gifted with a soft
Southern mountain climate, convenient of access to
the entire nation over its many lines of railway, known
everywhere as the center of Southern 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.
136 Oglethorpe University
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.
The Exceptional Opportunities of Our
Personal Attention
Young men who desire to enjoy the daily personal
Oglethorpe University 137
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 postoffice,
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
138 Oglethorpe University
in every wise and efficient way, with counsel of, and
guidance by the proper authorities of the institution.
Already more than four hundred of the finest work-
ers and most representative women of the city have
offered their services and joined the organization.
Their activities are directed toward the support and
development of Oglethorpe in every phase of its
growth and activities. Each of the ladies is assigned
to the committee on which she feels 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. Hugh Bancker; 1st Vice-President,
Oglethorpe University 139
Mrs. J. D. Cromer; 2nd Vice-President, Mrs. Francis
Herreshoff ; Recording Secretary, Mrs. I. R. Carlisle;

of such kind and character as may be desirable and desired and
as may be determined by the governing body; to enforce good

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

hereafter be, allowed a corporation of similar character under
the laws of Georgia.

University
PETITION TO AMEND
GEORGIA— Fulton County.
The petition of Oglethorpe University 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 ma aforesaid,
Oglethorpe University 179
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.

EXHIBIT "A"
Resolved by the Board of Trustees-Founders of Oglethorpe
University that paragraph 4, as it now reads in the original
charter thereof dated May 8, 1913, be stricken and in lieu
thereof, a new paragraph 4 shall be inserted as follows:
The corporate functions which shall mean the control of

as may be provided in the by-laws; no one is or shall ever
be eligible to membership in such board except a member
in good standing of a Presbyterian or Reformed Church. This
Board shall be elected from among those of the Board of
Founders, hereinafter provided for, who shall possess the
requisite qualifications. No mortgage, sale or other disposi-
tion of the real property of the corporation shall ever be made

or in a special meeting called therefor. Notice must be given
in the call for any such special meeting of the purpose of con-
sider such disposition.
There shall be a Board of Trustees of such number as may
be prescribed by the by-laws who shall be persons who have
shown their interest in the purpose of the University by
contributing thereto, or in whose behalf there has been con-
tributed in cash, property or solvent promises not less than
one thousand dollars and who are of such character and with
such Interest in promoting religion, morality and education as
fits them for membership. This Board shall have the power
and it shall be its duty to have control and supervision over
the educational functions of the University, of its President,
officers, faculty, and courses of study; to elect from among
its members the Board of Trustees; to borrow money but not
to secure the same by lien on the real property; to elect from

Historical
(From a copy of the Milledgeville Journal, September 5, 19S7,
presented to the University library by Miss Emma Thomas,
of Athens, Georgia, the great-granddaughter of Mr. B. P.
Stubbs, Secretary, who signed the notice in behalf of the Ex-
ecutive Committee.)
Oglethorpe University
It has already been announced, that this Institution will
commence its exercises on the first Monday of January, 1838.
The Board of Trustees, while again calling public attention
to this fact, offer some remarks in explanation to a new feature
which they may have given to its character.
The University will consist of three departments, Collegiate,
Academic, and Primary.
Any person desirous of seeing the laws which govern the
Collegiate department, can obtain a copy of the pamphlet con-
taining them, by application to B. P. Stubbs, of this place, Sec-
retary and Treasurer of the Board.
Candidates for admission into the Freshman Class, must be
prepared to stand an examination on Caesar's Commentaries,
four books, Cicero's Select Orations, Mair's Introduction to
182
Oglethorpe University

mar, Arithmetic and Geography, ancient and modern.

The Academic Department will consist of those who are
preparing for entrance into this or any other college.
Oglethorpe University 183
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 will be sustained, and all difficulties
in its way removed.
The Board of Trustees takes this occasion to say that this
year the Steward's Hall will be discontinued. This is done,
that there may be no hindrance in the way of such persons as
may wish to move to Midway for the purpose of taking
boarders.
The Trustees close this communication by suggesting to
parents, (who desire their children to be educated, and who
cannot afford to send them abroad for this purpose) the pro-
priety of settling themselves at Midway. By taking boarders,
the expenses of their family could be more sustained, and
their children of all ages receive thorough and finished edu-
cation. To others disposed to turn their attention to keeping
boarders as a business, we would suggest that Midway offers
inducements inferior to few if any other positions at the South
— a healthy and delightful location, and as many boarders as
they may be able to accommodate.
By order of the Executive Committee.
B. P. STUBBS, Secretary.
