PURPOSE 

The  Oglethorpe  idea  is  to  forge  the  strongest  possible  link 
between  the  "academic"  and  "practical,"  between  "human  un- 
derstanding" and  "know-how,"  between  "culture"  and  "profici- 
ency," between  past  and  present.  We  are  persuaded  that  there 
is  ultimately  no  contradiction  between  the  concepts  represented 
in  each  of  these  usually  divorced  pairs. 

There  can  be  no  basic  disagreement  among  educators  and 
laymen  about  the  common  elements  of  the  student's  real  needs 
and  interests.  He  is  to  learn  as  much  as  possible  about  the 
principles,  forces,  and  laws  influencing  or  governing  Nature, 
including  human  nature  and  human  associations;  to  learn  to  take 
account  of  these  not  only  for  their  own  sake  but  for  growth, 
guidance  and  direction  for  himself  and  others;  to  express  his 
deepest  individuality  in  the  work  or  calling  most  appropriate  to 
his  talents;  and  to  discover  his  proper  place,  role,  and  function 
in  the  complex  relationships  of  modern  living. 

Living  should  not  be  an  escape  from  work.  Education  should 
therefore  encompass  the  twin  aims  of  making  a  life  and  making 
a  living.  But  inescapably  he  is  part  and  parcel  of  society.  He 
fulfills  himself  by  the  measure  in  which  he  contributes  to  the 
happiness  and  progress  of  his  fellows.  Education,  as  an  institu- 
tion of  society,  has  a  social  obligation.  It  cannot  neglect  either 
the  individual  or  the  community  without  damage  to  both.  The 
social  order  at  its  best  is  best  for  the  individual;  the  individual 
at  his  best  is  best  for  society.  The  business  of  education  is  to 
strive  for  this  optimum. 

What  difference  should  an  education  make?  There  are  people, 
deficient  in  formal  schooling,  who  are  happy  and  useful.  They 
understand  and  get  along  well  with  their  neighbors.  They  are  an 
influence  for  good  in  their  community  and  earn  a  living  by  honest 
effort.  Any  truly  educated  man  displays  the  same  traits.  The 
difference  is  in  degree  rather  than  kind. 

Whereas  it  is  usual  for  people  to  understand  their  fellows,  how 
much  wider  should  be  the  sympathies  of  the  educated  man! 
His  contacts  go  beyond  the  living  and  embrace  the  seers  of  all 
the  ages,  who  as  his  companions  should  inform  his  mind  and 
enlarge  his  vision. 


10  OGLETHORPE  UNIVERSITY 

Never  before  have  people  been  so  alive  to  the  necessity  of 
mastering  rather  than  being  mastered  by  the  economic  and  scien- 
tific forces  at  work  in  our  world.  Creative  brains  and  individual  in- 
itiative, tempered  by  a  strong  sense  of  social  responsibility,  are  the 
only  sources  of  payrolls  compatible  with  a  free  society,  and  im- 
proving living  standard,  and  a  better  way  of  life.  Where  else  can 
we  look  for  this  creative  urge  other  than  to  adequate  education 
of  qualified  talent! 

We  make  no  claim  that  formal  education  inevitably  bestows 
these  benefits.  We  insist  that  it  can.  If  that  be  true,  how  may 
the  mark  be  reached?  We  shall  always  have  to  remind  ourselves 
as  teachers  that  education  is  a  difficult  art.  The  pitfalls  we  would 
shun  are  hard  to  escape.  Of  all  people,  the  teacher  must  remain 
the  most  teachable.  The  quest  for  wisdom  is  never-ending.  We, 
too,  must  continually  grow  in  order  to  stimulate  growth  in  those 
who  come  to  us  to  learn.  We  shall  also  have  to  remind  ourselves 
that  subjects  are  merely  the  means;  the  objects  of  instruction 
are  the  persons  taught.  We  must  be  forever  mindful  that  edu- 
cation, in  order  to  be  true  to  itself,  must  be  a  progressive  experi- 
ence for  the  learner,  in  which  interest  gives  rise  to  inquiry,  inquiry 
is  pursued  to  mastery,  and  mastery  at  one  point  occasions  new 
interests  in  others.  The  cycle  is  never  closed,  but  is  a  spiral 
which  always  returns  upon  itself  at  some  higher  level  of  insight. 
Growth  in  everything  which  is  human  must  remain  the  dominant 
objective  for  the  individual  and  for  society. 

We  therefore  stand  for  a  program  of  studies  which  makes  sense 
from  first  to  last,  which  hangs  together,  and  which  promotes  this 
desired  result.  Not  only  in  professional  training  but  also  in  the 
education  of  the  human  personality,  the  materials  of  instruction 
must  have  a  beginning,  point  in  a  definite  direction,  and  prepare 
for  all  that  ensues.  We  necessarily  make  provision  for  and  give 
scope  to  diversified  talents  in  preparation  for  varied  careers. 
But  this  much  we  all  have  in  common.-  each  man  has  to  live  with 
himself  and  all  have  to  live  with  their  fellows.  Living  in  commu- 
nity, with  human  understanding,  involves  arts  in  which  we  are  all 
equally  concerned.

HISTORY  OF  OGLETHORPE   UNIVERSITY 

Oglethorpe's  history  dates  back  to  1835  when  a  group  of 
Georgia  Presbyterians,  influenced  by  the  example  of  Princeton 
University,  secured  a  charter  for  the  operation  of  a  church-sup- 
ported university  in  the  academic  pattern  of  the  nineteenth  cen- 
tury. Actual  operations  commenced  in  1838  at  Midway,  a  small 
community  near  Milledgeville,  at  that  time  the  capitol  of  the  state. 

For  nearly  three  decades  after  its  founding,  the  university 
steadily  grew  in  stature  and  influence.  Its  president  during  most 
of  that  time,  Samuel  K.  Talmage,  provided  gifted  leadership  and, 
at  the  same  time,  gathered  about  him  a  faculty  of  unusual  ability, 
at  least  two  of  whom  would  achieve  real  distinction:  James  Wood- 
row,  an  uncle  of  Woodrow  Wilson  and  the  first  teacher  in  Georgia 
to  hold  the  Ph.D.,  and  Joseph  LeConte,  destined  to  world  fame 
for  his  work  in  the  field  of  geology. 

Oglethorpe  alumni  went  forth  in  those  years  to  play  roles  of 
importance  in  various  fields.  Perhaps  the  best-known  of  her  grad- 
uates was  the  poet  Sidney  Lanier,  a  member  of  the  Class  of  1860, 
who  remarked  shortly  before  his  death  that  the  greatest  intellect- 
ual impulse  of  his  life  had  come  to  him  during  his  college  days 
at  Oglethorpe. 

But  the  life  and  service  of  the  school  were  suddenly  cut  short 
in  the  1860's  as  Oglethorpe  became  a  casualty  of  war.  Her  stu- 
dents marched  away  to  become  Confederate  soldiers;  her  endow- 
ment at  length  was  lost  in  Confederate  bonds;  her  buildings  were 
converted  to  military  use  as  a  barracks  and  hospital.  In  a  sense, 
her  fate  became  bound  up  with  that  of  the  Lost  Cause. 

After  the  close  of  the  conflict  an  effort  was  made  to  revive  the 
institution,  first  at  Midway  and  then  by  re-location  in  Atlanta. 
However,  the  ravages  of  war,  together  with  the  dislocations  of 
Reconstruction,  posed  obstacles  too  great  to  overcome,  and  in 
1872  Oglethorpe  closed  its  doors  for  a  second,  and  seemingly 
final,  time. 

But  three  decades  later,  thanks  largely  to  the  determined 
energy  and  vision  of  Dr.  Thornwell  Jacobs,  the  school  was  revived, 
chartered  in  1913,  and  moved  to  its  present  location  on  the  north- 
ern edge  of  metropolitan  Atlanta.    The  cornerstone  of  the  first 


12  OGLETHORPE  UNIVERSITY 

building  was  laid  in  1915  in  a  ceremony  witnessed  by  members 
of  the  classes  of  1860  and  1861;  symbolically,  thus,  the  old  and 
the  new  were  linked. 

From  then  until  his  resignation  in  1944,  President  Jacobs 
became  and  remained  the  guiding  spirit  of  the  endeavor.  He  de- 
veloped a  number  of  ideas  and  enterprises  which  brought  nation- 
al, and  even  international,  recognition  to  the  school.  Most  notable 
among  these  were  the  establishment  of  a  campus  radio  station 
as  early  as  1931,  and  the  completion  in  1940  of  the  Crypt  of 
Civilization  to  preserve  for  posterity  a  cross-section  of  twentieth- 
century  life. 

Still  a  new  era  opened  in  the  history  of  Oglethorpe  in  1944 
when  Dr.  Philip  Weltner  assumed  the  presidency  and,  with  a 
group  of  faculty  associates,  initiated  a  new  and  exciting  approach 
to  undergraduate  education  called  the  "Oglethorpe  Idea."  As 
described  more  fully  in  the  preceding  section,  the  new  departure 
was  founded  on  the  conviction  that  education  should  encompass 
the  twin  aims  of  making  a  life  and  making  a  living,  and  that  to- 
ward these  ends  a  program  of  studies  should  be  developed  which 
made  sense  from  first  to  last  and  which  meaningfully  hung  to- 
gether. 

The  last  twenty  years  of  Oglethorpe's  history  have  revolved 
around  the  central  issue  of  finding  more  effective  means  of 
answering  the  challenge  posed  by  these  fundamental  purposes. 

At  the  same  time,  though  the  University  is  sympathetic  toward 
all  religions  and  encourages  its  students  to  affiliate  with  a 
local  church  of  their  own  choosing  or  synagogue,  formal  support 
from  church  bodies  was  discontinued.  Today  Oglethorpe  stands 
as  a  wholly  private  and  non-sectarian  institution  of  higher 
learning. 

The  College  has  also  developed  a  program  of  physical  expan- 
sion to  keep  pace  with  its  academic  growth.  Five  new  dormitories 
and  a  new  student  union  building  were  opened  in  the  spring  of 
1968.  The  new  complex  is  designed  not  only  to  add  additional 
space  to  campus  facilities  but  also  to  blend  architecturally  with 
the  existing  pattern  of  buildings  on  the  campus.  Traer  Hall,  a 
new  women's  dormitory,  was  completed  in  1969.

To  all  of  this,  it  may  be  finally  added,  Oglethorpe  enjoys  the 
great  asset  of  location  in  Atlanta — one  of  the  great  metropolitan 
centers  of  the  South  and  one  of  the  most  rapidly  developing  in 
the  nation.  A  city  blending  the  graciousness  of  the  Old  South 
with  the  social  progress  of  the  New,  Atlanta  is  a  key  center  of 
transportation  for  the  entire  Southeast,  with  excellent  service  by 
air,  rail,  and  bus;  it  is  also  a  hub  of  the  modern  highway  system 
being  built  through  the  region.  With  a  metropolitan  population 
of  well  over  a  million,  an  ideal  location  in  the  foothills  of  the  Blue 
Ridge  Mountains,  and  a  temperate  climate  throughout  the  year, 
the  city  offers  many  attractions  and  cultural  opportunities  to  the 
Oglethorpe  undergraduate  as  a  part  of  his  whole  development.

ADMISSION  TO  THE   UNIVERSITY 

APPLICATION   FOR  ADMISSION 

Throughout  its  history,  Oglethorpe  has  welcomed  students 
from  all  sections  of  this  country  as  well  as  from  abroad  as  candi- 
dates for  degrees.  It  is  the  policy  of  the  Admissions  Committee 
to  select  for  admission  to  the  University  those  applicants  who 
present  the  strongest  evidence  of  purpose,  maturity,  scholastic 
ability,  and  potential  for  the  caliber  of  college  work  expected  at 
Oglethorpe.  In  making  its  judgments,  the  Committee  considers 
the  nature  of  the  student's  high  school  program,  his  grades,  the 
recommendations  of  his  counselors  and  teachers,  and  his  scores 
on  aptitude  tests. 

The  candidate  for  admission  as  a  freshman  must  present  a 
satisfactory  high-school  program.  In  addition,  he  must  submit 
satisfactory  scores  on  the  Scholastic  Aptitude  Test  of  the  College 
Entrance  Examination  Board,  or  American  College  Test.  (Scores 
of  the  Florida  and  Iowa  State  Tests  will  be  acceptable  if  the 
applicant  has  taken  one  of  these  as  a  result  of  statewide  policy.) 

It  is  to  the  applicant's  advantage  to  take  the  American  College 
Test,  or  Scholastic  Aptitude  Test  as  early  as  possible  during  his 
senior  year  in  high  school.  Details  concerning  the  program  can 
be  obtained  from  high  school  counsellors,  or  by  writing  the 
American  College  Testing  Program,  P.O.  Box  451,  Iowa  City, 
Iowa  52240,  or  College  Entrance  Examination  Board,  Box  592, 
Princeton,  N.  J.  08540. 

The  Oglethorpe  application  form  contains  a  list  of  the  materials 
which  must  be  submitted  by  the  applicant.  No  application  can 
be  considered  and  acted  upon  until  all  the  items  indicated  have 
been  received.  Applications  will  be  considered  in  order  of  com- 
pletion, and  the  applicant  will  be  notified  of  the  decision  of  the 
Committee  on  Admissions  as  soon  as  action  has  been  taken. 

Though  the  exact  date  will  vary  from  semester  to  semester, 
generally  the  deadline  by  which  admissions  will  be  closed  will  be 
announced  by  the  University. 


16  OGLETHORPE  UNIVERSITY 

ADVANCED   PLACEMENT   PROGRAM 

The  University  invites  and  urges  those  students  who  have  taken 
the  advanced  placement  examinations  of  the  College  Entrance 
Examination  Board  to  submit  their  scores  for  possible  considera- 
tion toward  college  credit.  The  general  policy  of  Oglethorpe  to- 
ward such  scores  is  the  following:  academic  credit  will  be  given 
in  the  appropriate  area  to  students  presenting  advanced  place- 
ment grades  of  5;  exemption  but  not  credit  will  be  given  in  the 
appropriate  area  from  basic  courses  for  students  presenting  a 
grade  of  4;  neither  credit  nor  exemption  will  be  given  for  grades 
of  3  or  2;  maximum  credit  to  be  allowed  to  any  student  for 
advanced  placement  scores  will  be  thirty  semester  hours. 

COLLEGE   LEVEL  TESTING   PROGRAM 

The  tests  are  administered  by  centers  across  the  nation  under 
the  control  of  the  College  Entrance  Examination  Board,  Box  592, 
Princeton,  New  Jersey,  08540.  General  and  subject  examinations 
are  given  in  a  wide  and  continually  enlarging  number  of  subjects. 

Norms  for  the  specific  tests  are  set  by  the  chairman  of  the 
division  to  which  each  test  pertains,  providing  that  Oglethorpe 
offers  such  a  course.  Scores  above  the  credit  norm  earn  credit 
for  the  course.  Scores  above  the  waiver  norm  exempt  the  student 
from  the  course. 

TRANSFER   STUDENTS 

Applicants  for  transfer  from  other  recognized  institutions  of 
higher  learning  are  welcomed  at  Oglethorpe,  provided  they  are 
in  good  standing  at  the  institution  last  attended.  They  are 
expected  to  follow  regular  admissions  procedures  and  will  be 
notified  of  the  decision  of  the  Admissions  Committee  in  the 
regular  way. 

Oglethorpe  University  will  accept  as  transfer  credit  courses 
comparable  to  the  courses  we  offer  which  are  applicable  to  a 
liberal  arts  or  a  science  degree.  A  two  year  residence  requirement 
is  in  effect,  but  may  be  reduced  to  one  year  by  joint  decision  of 
the  dean  and  the  chairman  of  the  division  in  which  the  student 
will  major.  Therefore,  two  years  of  transfer  work  is  the  maximum 
given  without  such  decision,  but  up  to  three  years  of  transfer 
work  may  be  granted  with  such  decision.  Acceptable  work  must 
be  shown  on  an  official  transcript  and  must  be  completed  with 
a  grade  of  "C"  or  better. 


18  OGLETHORPE  UNIVERSITY 

SPECIAL  AND  TRANSIENT  STUDENTS 

In  addition  to  regular  students,  a  limited  number  of  special 
and  transient  students  will  be  accepted. 

Special  students  are  defined  by  the  University  as  those  not 
working  toward  an  Oglethorpe  degree;  they  are  limited  to  a 
maximum  of  five  semester  courses,  after  which  they  must  apply 
for  a  change  of  status  to  that  of  regular  student  or  be  requested 
to  withdraw  from  the  University. 

Transient  students  may  take  a  maximum  of  two  semesters  of 
work  here,  provided  that  they  secure  a  letter  from  the  dean  of 
their  original  institution  certifying  that  they  are  in  good  standing 
there  and  that  the  original  institution  will  accept  for  transfer 
credit  the  academic  work  done  by  the  student  at  Oglethorpe. 

APPLICATION    PROCEDURE 

All  correspondence  concerning  admissions  should  be  ad- 
dressed to  the  Office  of  Admissions,  Oglethorpe  University,  At- 
lanta, Georgia.  After  receiving  the  application  form,  the  appli- 
cant should  fill  it  out  and  return  it  with  an  application  fee  of 
$20;  this  fee  is  not  refundable.  Admissions  office(404)233-6864 
or(404)261-1441. 

FINANCIAL  ASSISTANCE  TO   STUDENTS 

Oglethorpe  University  provides  worthy  students  with  oppor- 
tunities to  obtain  assistance  in  financing  their  education.  These 
opportunities  are  provided  under  conditions  which  give  a  reason- 
able guarantee  to  the  applicants  and  to  the  University  that  they 
will  go  to  those  persons  best  able  to  benefit  from  them. 

The  many  sources  of  revenue  made  available  to  student  are 
Presidential  Merit  Scholarships,  National  Direct  Student  Loans, 
United  Student  Aid  Fund  Loans,  Educational  Opportunity  Grants 
and  the  College  Work  Study  Program.  The  State  of  Georgia 
provides  loans,  scholarships  and  grants  to  Georgia  residents 
attending  Georgia  Private  Institutions.  The  Tuition  Plan  is  avail- 
able to  parents  who  prefer  to  pay  for  tuition  and  other  academic 
fees  on  a  monthly  basis. 

The  loan  programs  mentioned  above  provide  loans  at  small

ACADEMIC  REGULATIONS 

CLASS  ATTENDANCE 

The  University  recognizes  attendance  at  classes  as  the  respon- 
sibility of  the  student.  Students  are  held  accountable  for  all  work 
missed.  The  exact  nature  of  absence  regulations  is  determined 
by  each  instructor  for  his  own  courses.  Such  regulations  are 
published  and  distributed  by  each  professor  at  the  beginning 
of  each  term. 

GRADES 

A  letter  grading  system  is  used.  The  range  of  A-D  represents 
passing  work;  any  grade  below  D  is  regarded  as  a  failure.  Stu- 
dents withdrawing  from  a  course  before  the  end  of  the  semester 
are  given  a  "W"  or  a  "WF",  depending  upon  the  circumstances 
of  the  withdrawal.  Students  who  do  not  meet  all  the  requirements 
of  a  course  are  given  an  "I"  (incomplete)  at  the  end  of  the  semes- 
ter. If  the  requirements  are  met  by  mid-semester  of  the  next  en- 
rolled term,  the  "\"  is  replaced  by  a  regular  grade.  If  they  are  not 
met  within  this  time,  the  grade  automatically  becomes  an  "F". 
Grade  structure  and  quality  points  are  as  follows: 


A     Superior 

4.0 

B     Good 

3.0 

C     Satisfactory 

2.0 

D     Passing 

1.0 

F     Failure 

0.0 

FA  Failure:  Excessive  absences 

0.0 

W    Withdrawn 

0.0 

WF  Withdrawn  Failing 

0.0 

1      Incomplete 

0.0 

P     Passing  (used  in  special  cases) 


MINIMUM  ACADEMIC  AVERAGE 

Though  the  grade  of  D  is  regarded  as  passing,  the  University 
believes  that  students,  in  order  to  graduate,  must  exhibit  more 
ability  than  that  required  by  the  lowest  passing  mark.  Therefore, 


ACADEMIC  REGULATIONS  21 

a  student,  in  order  to  graduate  from  Oglethorpe,  must  compile 
an  over-all  minimum  average  of  2.2.  No  student  will  be  allowed 
to  graduate  unless  this  minimum  is  met. 

For  the  student's  own  welfare,  a  graduated  system  of  minimum 
averages  has  been  established.  Freshmen  are  required  to  main- 
tain a  cumulative  average  of  at  least  1.8  in  their  course  work; 
sophomores  of  at  least  2.0  and  juniors  and  seniors  of  at  least  2.2. 

GRADUATION   REQUIREMENTS 

Minimum  requirements  for  graduation  consist  of  the  following: 
forty  semester  courses  (or  their  equivalent  for  transfer  students) 
totaling  at  least  120  hours;  a  cumulative  grade  average  of  at  least 
2.2;  and  the  last  four  semesters  to  be  spent  as  a  registered 
student  at  Oglethorpe.  All  graduating  Seniors  must  file  applica- 
tion for  diploma  with  the  University  Registrar. 


DEGREES 

Oglethorpe  offers  six  degrees  to  those  meeting  the  neces- 
sary requirements:  Bachelor  of  Arts,  Bachelor  of  Science, 
Bachelor  of  Science  in  Medical  Technology,  Bachelor  of  Science 
in  Education  and  Bachelor  of  Business  Administration,  and 
Masters  Degree  in  Elementary  Education.  Under  the  Bachelor 
of  Arts,  majors  programs  are  offered  in  the  following  areas: 
Business  Administration,  Economics,  Elementary  Education, 
Secondary  Education  (with  concentrations  available  in  English, 
General  Studies,  Mathematics,  Science  and  Social  Studies), 
English,  German,  History,  Philosophy,  Political  Studies,  Psy- 
chology, Sociology,  and  Social  Work.  Under  the  Bachelor  of 
Science,  majors  programs  are  offered  in  the  following  areas: 
Biology,  Chemistry,  Mathematics,  and  Physics. 

Under  certain  conditions,  it  is  also  possible  for  a  student  to 
receive  a  degree  from  Oglethorpe  under  "professional  option." 
Through  this  arrangement  and  in  accord  with  regulations  of  the 
University,  the  student  may  transfer  to  a  recognized  professional 
institution — such  as  law  school,  dental  school,  or  medical  school 
— at  the  end  of  his  junior  year  and  then,  after  one  year  in  the 
professional  school,  receive  his  degree  from  Oglethorpe.  Stu- 
dents interested  in  this  possibility  should  consult  closely  with 
their  advisors  to  make  certain  that  all  conditions  are  met. 


22  OGLETHORPE  UNIVERSITY 

PROBATION  AND  DISMISSAL 

Freshmen  who  fail  to  maintain  a  cumulative  average  of  at  least 

1.8,  sophomores  of  at  least  2.0,  and  juniors  and  seniors  of  at 
least  2.2,  are  placed  on  probation  for  the  following  term.  If  during 
that  term  they  do  not  substantially  improve  their  scholastic  aver- 
age, they  will  be  dismissed  from  the  University. 

First  semester  freshmen  receiving  grades  of  less  than  D  in  all 
subjects  will  be  dismissed,  as  will  students  in  the  sophomore, 
junior,  and  senior  classes  who  fail  to  maintain  at  least  a  1.0 
cumulative  average. 

All  students  on  Academic  Probation  at  the  end  of  the  spring 
semester  must  attend  at  least  one  session  of  summer  school  un- 
less exempted  for  cause  by  the  Dean  of  the  College. 

STUDENT'S  CLASSIFICATION 

For  administrative  and  other  official  and  extra-official  purposes, 
students  are  classified  according  to  the  number  of  semester  hours 
successfully  completed.    Classification  is  as  follows: 

0 — 30  hours         — Freshman  61-90 — Junior 

31 — 60  hours  ■ — Sophomore  91  above — Senior 

NORMAL  ACADEMIC   LOAD 

A  normal  academic  program  at  Oglethorpe  consists  of  no  less 
than  four  courses  each  semester,  but  generally  5  courses  are 
taken,  giving  the  student  a  total  of  12  to  16  semester  hours  each 
term.  Regular  students  in  the  day  classes  are  expected  to  carry 
a  normal  load  and  to  pay  for  a  full  schedule  of  courses.  Students 
other  than  transient  and  night  students  taking  a  reduced  load 
will  pay  the  rate  published  by  the  University. 

THE  DEAN'S  LIST 

Students  who  earn  a  minimum  average  of  3.3  or  better  in  any 
given  semester  except  the  summer  term  for  an  academic  load  of 
at  least  five  courses  are  given  the  distinction  of  being  placed  on 
the  Dean's  List.

STUDENT  LIFE 
ORIENTATION 

At  the  beginning  of  each  semester,  new  students  will  be  in- 
volved in  an  orientation  program,  under  the  general  supervision 
of  the  Dean  of  Students.  Orientation  activities  are  planned  to 
introduce  the  student  to  both  academic  and  social  life  at  Ogle- 
thorpe. Orientation  group  leaders  from  among  the  upperclass- 
men  serve  as  guides  and  counsellors  during  the  period.  Follow- 
ing orientation,  the  student  is  then  assigned  to  a  faculty  advisor 
who  aids  him  in  planning  his  academic  program. 

STANDARDS  OF  PERSONAL  DRESS  AND  GROOMING 

Each  individual  has  the  freedom  to  dress  and  groom  as  he 
chooses,  and  to  select  the  school  of  his  choice;  however,  these 
freedoms  are  not  without  their  responsibilities  and  consequences. 

Institutions  of  higher  education  have  their  own  personalities; 
hence,  they  have  the  freedom  to  select  the  standards  they  want 
for  students  who  voluntarily  elect  to  attend.  When  a  student 
voluntarily  elects  to  attend  Oglethorpe  University,  a  private  in- 
stitution, he  represents  not  only  himself  but  also  the  student 
body,  the  University,  and  in  some  measure,  the  community  in 
which  the  University  has  such  deep  roots. 

The  University  takes  the  position  that  all  students  are  expected 
to  dress  and  groom  as  mature,  responsible  adults,  as  ladies  and 
gentlemen.  Dress  and  grooming  are  expected  to  be  appropriate 
to  the  occasion  and  in  keeping  with  the  positions  of  leadership 
and  responsibility  in  society. 

Individuals  who  are  unwilling  to  meet  high  standards  of  dress 
and  grooming  should  not  apply  to  Oglethorpe  University  for  ad- 
mission. 

Students  who  avoid  these  high  standards  or  who  deliberately 
ignore  them,  either  directly  or  indirectly,  shall  be  terminated 
from  the  University  immediately. 

STUDENT   HEALTH   SERVICES 

All  resident  students  are  required  to  subscribe  to  the  Student 
Health  and  Insurance  Plan  provided  by  the  University,  unless 
married  or  residing  with  parents. 


26  OGLETHORPE  UNIVERSITY 

The  University  maintains  a  small  campus  infirmary  staffed  by 
a  registered  nurse.  The  infirmary  operates  on  a  regular  schedule, 
and  provides  basic  first  aid  service  and  limited  medical  as- 
sistance for  students  covered  by  the  student  insurance  plan. 

A  physician  visits  the  infirmary  periodically  to  make  general 
diagnosis  and  treatment.  In  the  event  additional  or  major  medi- 
cal care  is  required,  the  student  patient  will  be  referred  to  medi- 
cal specialists  and  hospitals  in  the  area  with  which  the  health 
service  maintains  a  working  relationship. 

When  it  is  determined  that  a  student's  physical  or  emotional 
health  is  detrimental  to  his  academic  studies,  group-living  situa- 
tion, or  other  relationships  at  the  University  on  in  the  commun- 
ity, he  will  be  requested  to  withdraw.  Re-admission  to  the  Uni- 
versity will  be  contingent  upon  acceptable  verification  that  the 
student  is  ready  to  return.  The  final  decision  will  rest  with  the 
University. 

STANDARDS  OF  PERSONAL  CONDUCT  AND  RESPONSIBILITY: 
THE  ROLE  OF  THE  COLLEGE  AND  THE  STUDENT 

Oglethorpe  University  takes  the  position  that  it  is  deeply  con- 
cerned with  the  total  development  of  the  individual  as  a  com- 
petent student  and  as  a  highly  responsible  citizen  both  on  the 
campus  and  in  the  community.  The  University's  high  standards  of 
personal  conduct  and  responsibility  are  an  expression  of  its  con- 
fidence in  each  student's  potential  as  a  human  being;  however, 
each  student  must  be  as  willing  to  accept  adult  consequences 
as  he  is  insistent  upon  being  granted  adult  freedom  of  decision 
and  action. 

Unfortunately,  neither  knowledge  and  wisdom  nor  knowledge 
and  integrity  are  synonomous;  therefore,  a  firm  grasp  of  acad- 
emic studies  will  not  in  itself  be  an  assurance  that  a  student 
is  profiting  fully  from  his  college  experience. 

Individuals  who  do  not  desire  to  accept  either  this  view  of  the 
University's  responsibility  or  its  high  standards  should  not  apply 
to  the  University  for  admission.  Accepted  students  who  demon- 
strate their  unwillingness  to  meet  high  standards  will  be  termi- 
nated from  the  University. 

EXTRA-CURRICULAR  ACTIVITIES 

Valuable  educational  experiences  may  be  gained  through  active 
participation  in  approved  campus  activities  and  organizations. 
All  students  are  encouraged  to  participate  in  one  or  more  organi-

zations  and  to  the  extent  that  such  involvement  does  not  deter 
them  from  high  academic  achievement.  Majors  are  especially 
encouraged  to  join  professional  organizations  associated  with 
their  interests  and  goals. 

Information  concerning  University  activities  and  organizations 
is  contained  in  the  Oglethorpe  University  Student  Handbook. 

HONOR  SYSTEM 

At  Oglethorpe  the  Honor  System  is  an  integral  part  of  college 
life.  Students  are  on  their  honor  to  respect  the  regulations  of 
the  University  and  to  abide  by  the  provisions  of  the  Honor  Code. 
The  Honor  System  is  supervised  by  a  student  Honor  Council, 
acting  with  the  counsel  of  a  faculty  advisor. 

FRATERNITIES  AND   SORORITIES 

University  social  fraternities  were  re-instituted  at  Oglethorpe  in 
1967;  sororities  followed  in  1968.  At  present  five  fraternities  and 
three  sororities  contribute  to  the  Greek  system  at  Oglethorpe. 

The  five  fraternities  are  (Chi  Phi,  Alpha  Epsilon  Pi,  Sigma 
Alpha  Epsilon,  Kappa  Alpha  and  Sigma  Alpha  Mu).  All  three 
sororities  have  their  national  charters  (Chi  Omega,  Delta  Phi 
Epsilon,  and  Kappa  Delta). 

These  social  organizations  contribute  substantially  to  the 
spiritual  and  social  betterment  of  the  individual  and  develop 
college  into  a  richer,  fuller  experience.  Membership  in  these 
organizations  is  voluntary  and  subject  to  regulations  imposed  by 
the  groups,  the  University  Interfraternity  Council,  or  by  the  Stu- 
dent Government  Association. 

ATHLETICS 

In  addition  to  a  well-rounded  program  of  intramural  sports, 
intercollegiate  competition  is  carried  on  in  soccer,  basketball, 
tennis,  and  baseball.  Students  with  athletic  skills  are  invited 
and  urged  to  participate  in  any  of  these. 

UNIVERSITY  CENTER 

The  University  Center  is  the  center  of  campus  social  life 
It  houses  the  student  lounges,  television  room,  recreational 
facilities,  snack  bar,  post  office,  book  store,  student  activity 
offices,  conference  rooms,  cafeteria,"  sorority  and  fraternity 
rooms,  radio  station,  and  offices  of  Housing  Director,  Student 
Activities  Director,  University  Center  Director  and  Chaplain's 
office.

UNIVERSITY  RESIDENCE   REQUIREMENTS 

Students  who  are  in  their  second  year  at  Oglethorpe  may  elect 
to  live  off  campus  (with  parents'  approval  if  under  twenty-one 
years  old)  as  a  non-metro  student. 


BOARDING   REQUIREMENTS 

Students  are  urged  to  review  the  University  calendar  in  order 
to  anticipate  their  food  and  other  expenses  during  periods  not 
covered  by  the  boarding  fee. 

FINANCING 

Students  and  parents  desiring  to  pay  expenses  in  installments

banking,  or  other  sources.  Information  may  be  secured  by  writing 
to  the  Student  Financial  Aids  Officer,  Oglethorpe  University.  Con- 
tinuing students  should  complete  all  arrangements  for  meeting 
University  requirements  well  in  advance  of  registration  so  that 
they  will  not  be  delayed. 

All  balances  and  new  charges  are  payable  at  registration.  Fail- 
ure to  make  the  necessary  payments  at  registration  will  cause 
the  student  to  lose  his  place  in  the  University.  Students  employ- 
ing the  College  Aid  Plan,  or  any  other  source  of  funds,  are  not 
exempted  from  paying  deposits  by  the  deadline  dates  specified 
in  the  University  Bulletin. 

Continuing  students  are  not  permitted  to  register  until  all 
previous  debts  have  been  cleared  with  the  Business  Office. 
Grades,  transcripts,  and  diplomas  are  withheld  until  all  accounts, 
including  institutional  damages  and  fines,  are  paid  in  full. 

Students  should  have  sufficient  funds  to  purchase  books  and 
supplies  directly  from  the  bookstore.

until  the  student  identification  card  is  surrendered  to  the  Busi- 
ness Office.  Keys  and  other  college  property  must  also  be  re- 
turned prior  to  the  issuance  of  refunds.  The  tuition  guarantee 
fund  is  the  only  provision  for  refunds  due  to  withdrawal  or 
dropping  of  courses. 

FEES  AND   COSTS 

The  applicant,  upon  receipt  of  notice  of  acceptance,  should 
forward  an  advance  deposit  of  $200  by  the  date  specified  in 
the  acceptance  letter.  The  deposit  will  apply  against  the  total 
charges  at  the  time  the  student  registers  for  classes  for  the 
fall  semester.  It  is  not  refundable.  Continuing  students  are 
required  to  pay  $200  advance  deposit  at  the  time  of  early  regis- 
tration for  the  fall  term.  Registration  is  therefore  contingent 
upon  the  deposit  being  paid.

order  to  meet  needs  of  students  who  do  withdraw,  a 
Tuition  Guarantee  Fund  has  been  established.  Cost  of 
subscribing  to  this  fund  is  $84.50  for  boarding  students

LIBRARY 

Oglethorpe  University  has  an  air-conditioned  library  located

PLACEMENT  SERVICE 

The  University  maintains  a  Placement  Office  to  provide  help 
to  students  in  securing  jobs  during  their  college  career.  Because 
of  Oglethorpe's  location  in  the  suburbs  of  the  second-fastest 
growing  city  in  America,  students  can  easily  obtain  part-time 
work.  Opportunities  for  on-campus  employment  in  various  jobs 
is  afforded  to  those  students  who  qualify  for  the  College  Work 
Study  Program. 

Another  function  of  this  office  is  to  aid  our  students  in  getting 
positions  upon  graduation.  A  register  is  kept  of  firms  seeking 
our  graduates,  and  every  effort  is  made  by  the  University  to  place 
students  in  areas  and  in  firms  of  their  preference.

GENERAL  INFORMATION 

SEMESTER   SYSTEM 

Oglethorpe  University  operates  under  the  semester  system 
during  the  academic  year.  Two  summer  sessions  of  five  weeks 
each  plus  an  abbreviated  two  and  one  half  week  session  make 
up  the  summer  schedule. 

EVENING   PROGRAM 

As  a  service  to  the  community,  the  University  offers  an  even- 
ing program  covering  three  terms  per  year:  one  during  each  se- 
mester and  one  during  the  summer.  Classes  meet  two  nights 
each  week  (Monday  and  Wednesday;  Tuesday  and  Thursday)  with 
three  class  periods  each  night.  To  qualify  for  the  special  tuition 
rate  given  to  evening  students,  a  student  must  take  all  his 
courses  in  the  evening.  A  student  taking  any  course  during  the 
day  will  not  be  classified  as  an  evening  student. 

In  addition  to  other  major  programs  listed  in  this  catalogue, 
a  major  in  General  Studies  is  offered.  This  program  requires 
completion  of  the  core  requirements  and  a  sufficient  number  of 
additional  course  hours  to  complete  the  total  prescribed  for  a 
degree.  The  degree  granted  will  be  the  Bachelor  of  Arts  in 
General  Studies.  Because  of  its  flexibility,  the  General  Studies 
program  enables  the  student  to  concentrate  in  any  selected 
program  offered  by  the  University. 

CONTINUING   EDUCATION 

The  Department  of  Continuing  Education  acts  as  a  community 
service  in  providing  adult  non-credit  courses  for  interested  people 
in  the  community.  It  is  Oglethorpe's  desire  to  ensure  that  its 
academic  and  physical  facilities  are  made  available  to  all  mature 
adults  who  show  a  genuine  interest  in  academics.

COURSES  OF  STUDY 

In  the  following  section,  the  courses  are  listed  numerically 
by  area  within  their  respective  Divisions.  Each  course  is  desig- 
nated by  a  four  digit  number.  The  first  digit  indicates  the  course 
level.  (For  example:  freshman  is  1;  sophomore,  2,  etc.)  The 
second  and  third  digits  designate  the  discipline.  The  fourth  digit 
indicates  the  course  number  within  that  discipline.  Each  level 
of  offerings  assumes  the  earlier  completion  of  necessary  pre- 
requisites. The  number  of  hours  refers  to  the  semester  hours 
credit  per  term  allowed  for  the  course.  The  designation  "3  +  3" 
or  "4  +  4"  indicates  that  the  course  carries  6  or  8  semester 
hours  of  credit,  respectively,  for  two  semesters  of  work. 

MAJORS  PROGRAMS 

Upon  entering  Oglethorpe  University  each  student  is  assigned 
a  faculty  advisor  who  will  assist  the  student  in  the  preparation  of 


40 


OGLETHORPE  UNIVERSITY 


his  academic  program.  Rsponsibility,  however,  for  taking  the 
requisite  core  and  major  courses  rests  exclusively  with  the 
student. 

In  addition  to  completing  the  core  program,  students  normally 
are  expected,  no  later  than  the  beginning  of  their  junior  year,  to 
choose  a  major  program  and  to  fulfill  the  departmental  regula- 
tions for  the  program.  In  addition  to  the  required  core  program, 
most  of  the  majors  include  three  levels  of  courses:  those  pre- 
scribed for  the  major,  directed  electives  recommended  as  im- 
mediately related  to  the  major,  and  free  electives  allowed  to 
enable  the  student  to  widen  his  intellectual  interests.  Variations 
of  each  program  are  possible,  according  to  the  particular  needs 
of  the  student  and  the  regulations  of  each  department.  Majors 
programs  are  offered  in  the  following:

DIVISION   OF  HUMANITIES 

To  insure  the  orderly  completion  of  the  program,  the  major 
should  consult  with  the  appropriate  faculty  member  in  the  de- 
partment or  division  at  the  time  of  his  FIRST  registration.  It  is 
important  that  each  major  have  his  program  fully  planned  from 
the  outset  so  that  he  may  be  aware  of  departmental  and  divi- 
sional requirements  and  allowable  substitutions  and  alterna- 
tives. Each  major  must  complete  the  core  requirements  within 
the  scope  of  his  interpretation  by  responsible  departmental  or 
divisional  advisors.  In  addition,  each  major  must  complete  those 
departmental  and  divisional  requirements  as  may  apply  to  the 
specific  degree.

DIVISION   OF  SCIENCE 

To  ensure  the  orderly  completion  of  the  program,  the  major 
should  consult  with  the  appropriate  faculty  member  in  the  de- 
partment or  division  at  the  time  of  his  FIRST  registration.  It  is 
important  that  each  major  have  his  program  fully  planned  from 
the  outset  so  that  he  may  be  aware  of  departmental  and  divi- 
sional requirements  and  allowable  substitutions  and  alternatives. 
Each  major  must  complete  the  core  requirements  within  the 
scope  of  his  interpretation  by  responsible  departmental  or  divi- 
sional advisors.  In  addition,  each  major  must  complete  those 
departmental  and  divisional  requirements  as  may  apply  to  the 
specific  degree.

PSYCHOLOGY 


The  basic  program  in  psychology  leads  to  the  B.  A.  degree  and 
leaves  the  student  rather  free  as  to  what  psychology  courses,  and 
electives,  he  takes.  Students  are  urged,  however,  to  take  a  more 
directed  program  from  the  following  three:  graduate  school 
preparation,  consumer  psychology,  and  concentration  in  psy- 
chology for  secondary  education.

THE  GRADUATE   DIVISION 
ADMISSION 

The  Graduate  Division  is  organized  as  one  of  the  six  academic 
divisions  of  Oglethorpe  University.  It  was  created  in  1970  upon 
receipt  from  the  Southern  Association  of  Colleges  and  Schools 
of  initial  approval  for  Oglethorpe  to  once  again  offer  courses 
leading  to  the  master's  degree.  Under  this  authorization,  the 
Graduate  Division  offers  the  Master  of  Arts  degree  in  elementary 
education. 

The  purposes  of  the  graduate  program  are  to  provide  well- 
qualified  students  with  the  opportunity  to  obtain  the  first  gradu- 
ate degree,  to  provide  members  of  the  teaching  profession  with 
the  opportunity  to  enhance  their  competencies  and  knowledge 
in  the  area  of  elementary  education,  including  the  opportunity 
for  those  teachers  not  desiring  a  graduate  degree  to  enhance 
their  knowledge  and  skills.  Inherent  in  the  guiding  philosophy  is 
the  assumption  that  graduate  study  includes  more  than  the 
passing  of  prescribed  courses  and  the  meeting  of  minimum  re- 
quirements. Any  student  who  receives  a  graduate  degree  must 
possess  a  broad  knowledge  of  the  literature  of  his  field  of  study, 
be  capable  of  sustained  study,  exhibit  the  power  of  independent 
thinking,  and  possess  reasonable  knowledge  of  the  techniques 
of  research. 

All  graduate  work  is  administered  by  the  Graduate  Division, 
which  is  governed  by  the  Graduate  Council  under  the  policies  of 
the  university.  The  Graduate  Council  is  the  policy-making  body 
chosen  from  the  graduate  faculty  and  administration,  under  the 
leadership  of  the  chairman  of  the  Graduate  Division. 

Requirements — Upon  recommendation  of  the  chairman  of  the 
Graduate  Council  and  approval  of  the  Graduate  Council,  a  per- 
son holding  a  bachelor's  degree  from  an  accredited  college  or 
university  may  be  admitted  to  the  Graduate  Division.  In  addition 
to  general  requirements  prescribed,  the  applicant  must  submit 
transcripts  of  all  previous  work  completed,  satisfactory  scores 
on  the  Graduate  Record  Examination  (Aptitude  Test),  two  recom- 
mendations (form  provided)  from  previous  colleges  attended 
and/or  employers,  and,  when  deemed  necessary,  take  validating 
examinations  or  preparatory  work.  Candidates  not  previously 
prepared  for  teaching  must  meet  requirements  for  first  profes- 
sional certification  before  completing  requirements  for  the  mas- 
ter's degree. 

Procedure — Application  forms  may  be  obtained  from  the  Of- 
fice of  Admissions  of  the  University.  Completed  forms  should  be 
returned  to  the  Office  of  Admissions  as  soon  as  possible  but  at 
least  twenty  days  prior  to  the  term  in  which  the  applicant  ex- 
pects to  enroll.  These  forms  should  be  accompanied  by  a  $20.00 


95 


application  fee  (non-refundable).  All  material  (completed  forms, 
fee,  transcripts,  and  test  scores)  should  be  sent  directly  to  the 
Office  of  Admissions,  Oglethorpe  University,  Atlanta,  Georgia 
30319.  To  insure  proper  consideration,  all  documents  must  be 
on  hand  at  least  twenty  days  prior  to  the  proposed  time  of  enroll- 
ment. All  documents  become  the  property  of  the  university  and 
will  not  be  returned. 

If  an  applicant  does  not  choose  to  enter  the  Graduate  Divi- 
sion in  the  term  indicated  on  his  application,  he  should  notify 
the  Office  of  Admissions  of  his  plans  and  indicate  a  new  date  of 
entrance,  if  applicable.  Otherwise,  the  original  admission  will 
be  cancelled,  the  file  discontinued,  and  a  new  application  will  be 
required  for  admission  at  a  later  date. 

Admission  to  the  Graduate  Division  does  not  imply  ultimate 
acceptance  as  a  candidate  for  an  advanced  degree.  For  admis- 
sion to  candidacy,  see  the  section  ADMISSION  TO  CANDIDACY. 

Information  concerning  the  administration  of  the  Graduate 
Record  Examination  may  be  obtained  from  the  Office  of  Admis- 
sions or  by  writing:  Education  Testing  Service,  Princeton,  New 
Jersey  08540. 

Types  of  Admission — Students  may  be  admitted  to  the  Gradu- 
ate Division  under  any  one  of  the  following  classifications: 

1.  Regular.  A  student  who  has  a  cumulative  grade  point 
average  of  at  least  2.8  on  a  4.0  scale,  satisfactory 
scores  on  the  GRE  and  the  recommendation  of  the 
chairman  of  the  Graduate  Division,  and  who  has  com- 
pleted all  prerequisites  required  for  admission  may  be 
admitted  as  a  regular  graduate  student. 

2.  Provisional.  A  person  failing  to  meet  one  or  more  of 
the  standards  required  for  admission  as  a  regular  stu- 
dent or  a  qualified  senior  may  be  admitted  under  con- 
ditions specified  at  the  time  of  admission  by  the  chair- 
man of  the  Graduate  Council  and  approved  by  the 
Graduate  Council.  The  provisionally  admitted  student 
may  apply  to  the  chairman  of  the  Graduate  Division  for 
reclassification  when  the  conditions  have  been  met. 
Graduate  courses  completed  by  the  provisional  student 
may  be  counted  toward  a  degree  after  the  student  has 
been  reclassified  as  a  regular  student. 

A  senior  within  six  semester  hours  of  completing  re- 
quirements for  the  bachelor's  degree  may  be  permitted 
to  enroll  in  courses  for  graduate  credit  provided  that: 
(1)  he  has  the  permission  of  the  head  of  the  education 
department  and  the  chairman  of  the  Graduate  Divi- 
sion, (2)  he  is  otherwise  qualified  for  admission  to 


96  OGLETHORPE  UNIVERSITY 

graduate  study  except  for  the  degree,  and  (3)  his  total 
load  in  a  semester  would  not  exceed  fifteen  semester 
hours.  Under  no  circumstances  may  a  course  be  used 
for  both  graduate  and  undergraduate  credit. 

Other 

1.  Transient.  A  student  in  good  standing  in  another 
recognized  graduate  school  who  wishes  to  enroll  in  the 
Graduate  Division  of  Oglethorpe  University  and  who 
plans  to  return  thereafter  to  the  former  institution  may 
be  admitted  as  a  transient  graduate  student.  In  lieu  of 
full  transcripts  and  regular  applications  he  must  sub- 
mit a  transient  student  application  form  completed  by 
his  graduate  dean  listing  specific  courses  to  be  taken 
for  credit.  Any  student  admitted  on  this  basis  should 
understand  that  his  registration  terminates  as  soon  as 
he  has  completed  the  work  authorized  by  the  institu- 
tion from  which  he  is  seeking  a  degree.  If  he  later 
elects  to  seek  a  degree  from  Oglethorpe  University,  he 
must  make  formal  application  for  admission  and  may 
petition  to  have  credit  earned  as  a  transient  student 
applied  toward  the  degree  at  Oglethorpe  University. 

2.  Unclassified.  A  degree  holder  who  is  not  a  prospective 
candidate  for  a  degree  at  Oglethorpe  University,  such 
as  a  person  seeking  to  meet  certification  requirements 
(not  applicable  until  final  accreditation  received)  or 
local  school  requirements,  may  be  admitted  without 
presenting  test  scores  or  recommendations.  Credit 
earned  by  a  student  in  this  category  may  be  counted 
toward  the  degree  only  with  consent  of  the  Graduate 
Council. 

REGISTRATION 

Procedure — Registration  dates  for  each  term  are  listed  on 
page  3  of  this  publication.  Several  weeks  before  the  beginning 
of  each  term,  students  may  obtain  from  the  Registrar's  Office  a 
schedule  of  classes  for  that  particular  term. 

Courses  and  Loads — Courses  numbered  6000  are  open  only 
to  graduate  students.  Arts  and  Sciences  courses  with  4000  num- 
bers carry  either  undergraduate  or  graduate  credit;  graduate  stu- 
dents, however,  are  expected  to  do  more  extensive  reading,  pre- 
pare additional  reports,  and/or  produce  papers  or  other  projects 
requiring  more  extensive  research. 

The  maximum  course  load  for  any  graduate  student  is  fifteen 
credit  hours  per  semester  or  six  credit  hours  in  a  summer  term. 
Any  student  serving  as  a  graduate  assistant  must  carry  a  re- 


97 

duced  load.  A  person  working  more  than  thirty  hours  per  week 
normally  may  not  register  for  more  than  six  hours  credit  per 
semester.  In  all  cases,  the  graduate  student  is  urged  to  register 
for  only  that  number  of  hours  which  he  can  successfully  com- 
plete. 

ADVISEMENT 

Upon  admission  to  the  Graduate  Division,  each  student  is  as- 
signed to  a  member  of  the  graduate  faculty  in  education  who 
serves  as  advisor  and  guides  the  student  in  planning  his  program 
of  study. 

GRADING  SYSTEM 

The  quality  of  work  of  courses  taken  in  the  graduate  program 
is  indicated  by  the  marks  A,  B,  C,  and  F.  Grades  of  I  and  W  are 
reserved  for  special  cases.  Listed  below  are  requirements  for 
each  of  these  grades: 

A — Excellent,  with  four  quality  points  for  each  credit  hour 
B — Good,  with  three  quality  points  for  each  credit  hour 
C — Poor,  with  two  quality  points  for  each  credit  hour 
F — Unsatisfactory  work  or  unofficial  withdrawal 
I — Incomplete  may  be  used  if  the  student,  because  of  un- 
usual  circumstances,   is  unable  to  complete  the  re- 
quired work  in  the  prescribed  time  interval,  provided 
he  was  doing  satisfactory  work.  Such  a  grade  must  be 
removed  by  the  completion  of  the  work  within  one  year 
or  the  I  becomes  an  F. 
W — Official  withdrawal  may  be  permitted  if  the  student's 
progress  is  interrupted  by  illness  or  other  emergencies 
which  prevent  his  pursuing  any  course  for  which  he  is 
registered. 

ACADEMIC  STANDARDS 

Candidates  for  the  master's  degree  must  meet  the  following 
academic  standards: 

1.  The  student's  overall  grade  point  average  for  work  sub- 
mitted in  a  graduate  program  must  be  3.0  or  higher. 

2.  If,  in  any  case,  the  candidate  fails  to  maintain  satis- 
factory academic  standards,  his  record  shall  be  re- 
viewed by  the  Graduate  Council  to  determine  whether 
or  not  he  shall  be  allowed  to  continue  in  a  graduate 
program.
