altje Prayer of ©glrtljorpe Xnturrattg

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. slnk thou
my Foundations down deep into Thy bosom until
they rest upon the vast rock of thy counsel.
Lift Thou my walls into the clear empyrean of
Thy Truth. Cover me with the wings that
shadow from all harm. lay my threshold in
honor and my lintels in love. set thou my
floors in the cement of unbreakable friendship and
may my windows be transplanted with honesty.
Lead Thou unto me, Lord God, those whom Thou
hast appointed to be my children, anjj 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 hlm 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 THAT EVER COME TO MY HALLS FOR GUIDANCE
BE SENT ASTRAY. LET THE BLUE ASHLARS OF MY
BREAST THRILL TO THE HAPPY SONGS OF THE TRUE-
HEARTED AND MAY THE VERY HEART OF MY CAMPUS
SHOUT FOR JOY AS IT FEELS THE TREAD OF "PHOSE WHO
MARCH FOR GOD. ALL THIS I PRAY OF 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 University
are handled by an Executive Committee of twenty-one men.
The General Board of Trustees and Founders 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 in the University, and to give
directions to the Executive Committee which is elected by
them and from their number, and which attends to the
details of management of the Institution between the meet-
ings of the Board of Founders. 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.

Nothing more ideal has ever been proposed in the man-
agement of an institution. It is already in operation and
its perfect practicability is largely responsible for the mar-
velous success 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 consummated this fine pur-
pose. As representatives and governors of the Institution they
will take pleasure in giving any inquirers information as to
the aims and progress of the University.

18 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 rapidly became the institution
largely patronized by the young men from Presbyterian
families all over the world. After a while the long distances
which must be traveled by stage or on horseback, suggested
the building of a similar institution under the auspices of
Presbyterianism in the South. The movement began with
the Spring meeting of Hopewell Presbytery in the year 1823,
and eventuated in the founding of a manual school, and this,
in turn, became Oglethorpe College in 1835 when Midway
Hill, in the suburbs of Milledgeville, then the capital of the
State of Georgia, was chosen for the location of the Institu-
tion. Old Oglethorpe College was thus the first denomina-
tional college or university between the Atlantic and Pacific
oceans south of the Virginia line, and, of a right, claimed to
be the Alma Mater of all that brilliant company of institu-
tions which were born after her in this vast empire.

The facilities of the old Oglethorpe were adequate for
the time. The main building was probably the handsomest
college structure in the Southeast when it was erected, and
"contained the finest college chapel in the United States not
excepting Yale, Harvard or Princeton."

In the Faculty of the Institution may be found the names
of men who are world-famous. Among these were Joseph
Le Conte, the great geologist; James Woodrow, the brilliant
and devoted Christian and Scientist; Samuel K. Talmadge, the
eminent administrator, and many others. It is, perhaps, the
chief glory of old Oglethorpe that after three years of in-
struction she graduated Sidney Lanier in the famous class of
1859 and that he was a tutor to her sons until the Spring
of '61 when with the Oglethorpe cadets he marched away

Oglethorpe University 19

to the wars. Shortly before his death, Lanier, looking back
over his career, remarked to a friend that the greatest moral
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 high-
est ideals of humanity.

Oglethorpe, "died at Gettysburg," for during the war her
sons were soldiers, her endowment was in Confederate bonds,
and her buildings, used as barracks and hospital, were later
burned. 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
unsuccessful, and after a year and a half of struggle the doors
were closed for the second time.

Only eleven years have passed since the campaign to re-
found 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 a million dollars as
the result of unusual and self-sacrificing liberality on the part
of over five thousand people.

The corner stone of Oglethorpe University was laid on
January 21, 1915, with her trustful motto engraved upon it:
"Manu Dei Resurrexit" (By the Hand of God She has Risen
from the Dead.)

THE OPENING, SEPTEMBER 20, 1916

Oglethorpe University opened her doors in the Fall of 1916.
After fifty years of rest beneath the gray ashes of fratricidal
strife she rose to breathe the airs of a new day. Her first
building, constructed of granite, trimmed with limestone,
covered with slate and as near fireproof as human skill can
make it, was ready for occupancy in the Fall of 1916, when

20 Oglethorpe University

her first class gathered on her beautiful campus on Peach-
tree Road. A faculty equal to that of any cognate institu-
tion in the country has been formed. The work of raising
funds and new construction goes steadily on. And all of this
has been done in the midst of financial disaster that darkened
the spirit of the whole nation, and against the evil influences
of a colossal war, which caused the very joints of the world
to gape.

THE ROMANCE OF HER RESURRECTION

The story of the resurrection of Oglethorpe reads like a
romance. Beginning only ten yeans ago with a contribu-
tion of $100.00 a year for ten years, 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-see-
ing educational leaders, who wished to erect a certain high
type of institution in this splendid metropolis. The story
of how dollar was added to dollar during a campaign of
four years; of how no less than seventy Atlanta men gave
each $1,000.00 or more to the enterprise; of how the story
has been told in cities, towns and country all over the South
from Galveston, Texas, to Charlottesville, Virginia, and from
Marshall, Missouri, to Bradentown, Florida; the splendid
triumph of the Atlanta campaign staged in this city just
nine years ago; 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
$75,000.00. They are the Founders of the University; they
belong to the great 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 illustra-
tions. (See Frontispiece.)

Oglethorpe University 21

It will be seen that the architects and landscape artist
spared no pains to make it one of the really beautiful uni-
versities of America. The architecture is Collegiate Gothic;
the building material is a beautiful blue granite trimmed
with limestone. All the buildings will be covered with heavy
variegated slates. The construction is of steel, concrete,
brick and hollow tile. The first building is the one on the
right of the entrance seen in the foreground of the bird's-
eye view. The new building, given by Mr. and Mrs. Lupton,
our beloved benefactors, is the one with the tower just oppo-
site on the left of the entrance. The total cost of construc-
tion of the buildings shown in the above design with the
landscape work required, will be approximately $3,000,000.
The building plan will be followed out in its entirety.

HER SPIRITUAL AND INTELLECTUAL IDEALS

But it is not so much the magnificent exterior of the in-
stitution about which the men who are founding Oglethorpe
are most concerned, it is the spiritual and intellectual life of
their university. To that end they have resolved to form a
faculty and adopt a curriculum that will be of the highest
possible quality, their thought being excellence in every de-
partment. They will take the superb traditions of the old
Oglethorpe and add the best of this present age to them.
Doubtless Oglethorpe will be a big university some day, but
she is already a great one, and it is greatness rather than
bigness which her founders crave most for her.

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 alphabeti-
cally, by states. That Book will be accessible to every stu-
dent and visitor who may want to know who it was from

22 Oglethorpe University

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,
because the work is not yet finished, and each month is add-
ing many to this role of honor, whose names will thus be
preserved in the life and archives of Oglethorpe University
forever.

CLOCK AND CHIMES

In the tower of the new building given by Mr. and Mrs.
J. T. Lupton, is installed a clock and chimes, the gift of
Mrs. H. Frederick Lesh, of Newton Center, Mass. There are
two dials to the clock, and they are illuminated at night. It
is interesting to note that this is the only tower clock in
Atlanta and the only chimes on any college campus in Geor-
gia. On the largest of the bells, which weighs a ton, is the
following inscription:

We were given by

Grace Josephine Lesh

That the hours at Oglethorpe

Might be filled with

Music and Harmony.

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 demand of a really great institu-
tion 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 im-
parting their ideals and knowledge, and intellectual acquire-
ments adequate for their department. The most important
element in education is the creating in the student of an in-

Oglethorpe University 23

tense yearning for and delight 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
University now has a corps of teachers unsurpassed in any
institution of its size and age. The names are given in the
order of their election.

IMMEDIATE FURFOSE 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 specialists 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 be putting themselves in line for the advanced courses
which are to be offered.

Adequate Library and Laboratory facilities are being pro-
vided as the need for them arises. Free use will be made
of the city of Atlanta, in itself a remarkable laboratory of
industrial and scientific life, whose museums, libraries and
municipal plants are at the disposal of our students for obser-
vation, inspection and investigation.

The first unit of the building plan is the equivalent in
capacity of four buildings, each 50 by 60 feet, three stories
high. Of these, two are dormitories, one, lecture halls, lab-
oratories and offices, and the fourth, dining hall and refectory.
A new building has been recently erected, to be used as a
dormitory. The generosity of Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Lupton
has made possible, also, the erection of another building, which
contains the Library, President's Office, Assembly Hall, Lec-
ture Rooms, Central Clock and Chimes, and Founders' Room
and Tower.

ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS

In the Schools of Liberal Arts, Science, Business

Administration, Literature and Journalism

and Education

The requirement for entrance to the Academic Schools of
Oglethorpe University is fifteen units from a school of good
standing. The candidates must present three units in English
and two in Mathematics. In the School of Liberal Arts, three
units of Latin must, also, be offered; in the School of Science
two years of language work are required, one of which must
be Latin (this may be made up after entrance) ; in the School
of Literature and Journalism one year of Latin is required,
which may be made up after entrance.

A unit represents a year's study in any subject in a secondary
school, constituting approximately a quarter of a full year's
work.

The authorities of Oglethorpe University are fully ac-
quainted with the educational situation in the South and in
making their entrance requirements somewhat above rather
than below the standard, they have not lost sight of the
frequent insufficiencies of preparation of prospective students
brought about by inadequate High School facilities. It is
the purpose of the University to make its degrees repre-
sent high attainment, but to furnish such facilities for stu-
dents that this attainment will be fairly simple and easy.
It is not our purpose by the adoption of specially high en-
trance requirements to drive away any students from our
Institution. Adequate arrangements will be made for aiding
any student who may be behind in his preparation in so far
as such aid is consistent with the best ideals of college work.

The President of the University will gladly answer any
inquiries as to further details of entrance requirements, upon
request. An application blank will be found at the close of
the catalogue. It is well for the prospective student to apply
as early as possible. A blank for High School Certificate
may be obtained by writing to the Registrar.

Students who wish credit for college work done elsewhere
must file with the Registrar a certificate from the institution
in which the work was done. The institution must be one
that is recognized by the Faculty of Oglethorpe University,
and the work must be satisfactory to the professor of that
department.

REMOVAL OF CONDITIONS

1. A student whose term grade in any subject lies between
70 and 60 per cent shall have two re-examinations and no
more. These examinations for Fall and Winter Term con-
ditions, will be set at the end of the succeeding term, and at
the beginning of the next session.

Examinations for removal of Spring Term conditions will
be set at the beginning and end of the Fall Term of the next
session.

2. A student whose term grade in any subject lies between
60 and 40 per cent shall have one re-examination and no more
at the beginning of the next session.

3. A student failing in both re-examinations in the first
case or in the one re-examination in the second case will take
the subject over in class.

4. A student whose term grade in any subject lies below
40 per cent will not be entitled to re-examination, but will
be required to take the subject over in class.

5. The summer term may be devoted to work prepara-
tory to condition examinations, as deficient students will not

Oglethorpe University 35

be permitted to carry extra work during the nine months'
session.

6. Conditioned students absent from the regular condition
examination must present an excuse satisfactory to the pro-
fessor in charge of the subject or receive a zero for the ex-
amination. When an excuse has been accepted a special ex-
amination will be held for which a fee of two dollars shall
be charged, which shall go to the library of that department.

7. Any student having eight term conditions at the be-
ginning of the session will be required to take the class over
in all subjects.

8. No student with more than three term conditions may
be permitted to register as a member of the next higher class,
but shall be considered a member of the same class as the
year before, until the number of his unremoved conditions
shall not exceed three.

9. Conditions, whether due to failure, to incomplete work,
or to absence, must be made up within a year or the subject
repeated in class.

36 Oglethorpe University

COURSES OF INSTRUCTION AND REQUIRE-
MENTS FOR DEGREES

In the session of 1923-24 Oglethorpe University will offer
courses in the undergraduate Classes of five schools leading
to the customary Academic degrees. The degree of Bachelor
of Arts (B. A.) in the Classics will be conferred upon those
students satisfactorily completing a four years' course as out-
lined below, based largely on the study of the "Humanities."
The degree of Bachelor of Arts in Science will be conferred
upon those students who satisfactorily complete a four years'
course largely in scientific studies. The degree of Bachelor
of Arts in Literature will be given to those students who
complete a course including special work in languages, litera-
ture and journalism. The degree of Bachelor of Arts in
Commerce will be conferred upon those students who satis-
factorily complete a full four years' course in studies relating
particularly to business administration and industrial life. The
degree of Bachelor of Arts in Education will be conferred
upon those students who complete the studies in the School
of Education.

By a careful study of the courses outlined below, the stu-
dent will be easily able to make a choice most suitable to his
tastes and probable future life.

In general, it may be suggested that those students pre-
paring to enter such professions as the Ministry or Law, will
choose the B. A. course in Classics; those looking forward
to Medicine, Dentistry and other Scientific work, the B. A.
course in Science; those expecting to enter the literary and
journalistic field, the B. A. course in Literature, and those
who intend to spend their lives in the business world, the
B. A. course in Commerce ; those who expect to teach, the
B. A. course in Education.

While each of these courses is so shaped as to influence
the student towards a certain end, colored largely by the type

Oglethorpe University

of studies it includes, yet each course will be found to in-
clude such subjects of general culture as are necessary to the
education of a life as distinguished from a living.

GRADUATE SCHOOL

It is the purpose of Oglethorpe University to develop a
thoroughly excellent Graduate School, offering courses in all
departments leading to the Doctor's degree in Science and
Philosophy. In supplying this need, which has for a long
while been acutely felt in the South, the management of the
University will be content with only the very highest grade
of work and facilities.

Courses leading to the Master's and Doctor's degrees in
certain departments will be found outlined elsewhere in this
catalogue under the appropriate department heading. These
degrees are based on that of Bachelor of Arts of Oglethorpe
University or of some other approved institution. In general,
it may be said that the degree of Master of Arts will be given
for one year of additional study in graduate subjects more or
less related to each other. The degree of Doctor of Philosophy
requires at least three years of graduate work. But neither
degree is 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 con-
cerned and the whole Faculty. It is required that the candi-
date for Ph. D. demonstrate by examination not later than
the end of his first year, his ability to read German and
French, and the student must have completed the under-
graduate work in the subject to which he wishes to give his
chief attention. A thesis must be submitted, showing original
work.

In this connection, the prospective student will be inter-
ested in learning that all Professors chosen as the heads of
departments in Oglethorpe University must have obtained
the highest academic degree offered in that department.
This fact is mentioned in order to indicate the earnest de-
termination of the Board of Directors of the University that
her Faculty shall include only men of the highest intellectual

Oglethorpe University 45

attainment as well as men of great teaching power and strong
personal character.

The President of the University will be pleased to answer
any inquiries as to graduate courses to be offered during
1923-24.

PROFESSIONAL SCHOOLS

The steady drift of the wisest opinion of the educational
world looks toward the union of academic with professional
education. The broadening effect of association of profes-
sional students with other classmen on the university cam-
pus, as well as the valuable opportunity for contact with
academic work, renders this connection highly desirable. It
is the purpose of the University to enter the field of pro-
fessional education as quickly as funds are secured to enable
us to do so adequately. Schools of Engineering, Architec-
ture, Dentistry, Law and Medicine will be established as op-
portunity offers, but no work will be undertaken that cannot
be executed with the same quality of matter and form that is
offered in the best institutions of our country.

SPECIAL COURSES

Students who are looking forward to Medicine, Law o;
Engineering and who do not desire to study for an academic
degree are allowed to take such courses as will lead to their
professional work. Such students must present at least twelve
units for entrance; of these four and one-half are required:
English (3) and Mathematics (iy2). The following courses
are suggested:

PRE-PROFESSIONAL COURSES

Students who are contemplating the professions of law,
medicine or dentistry, and who do not desire to study for an
academic degree, are allowed to take such work as will pre-
pare them for entrance to professional schools. In addition

to the required high school units for college entrance, pre-
professional students must complete a two-year assignment,
including thirty-eight year hours. The specific conditions for
completing the several pre-professional courses are detailed

necessary for the professional man to have a thorough foun-
dation for his professional studies, and the professional schools
are becoming more strict in their requirements for entrance.
Particularly is this the case in Medicine, where the best medical
colleges require a diploma from a standard college for en-
trance. We would strongly advise our students to study the
suggestions made on page 37 and have their college diploma
safely in hand before they begin their professional studies.

COURSES OF INSTRUCTION FOR 1923-24

The policy of the Board of Directors of the University
has been and will be to "hasten slowly" in the work of or-
ganization of the Institution. They, therefore, began the first
year's work with one class, the Freshman. They are now
ready to offer the full work of the under-graduate classes.

The courses offered for the year 1923-24 are as follows:

THE PRESIDENT'S COURSE
Cosmic History

In the endeavor to give to the graduates of the University
a course that will co-ordinate the knowledge they have ob-
tained in the departments of Biology, Geology, Palaeontology,
etc., with their work in Bible, Ethics and Philosophy, the
President of the University will meet the Senior Class one hour
per week, Wednesday, at 10:45, in a seminar covering a story
of human life following the broad outlines of Astronomy,
Geology, Palaeontology, Embryology, Anthropology and Ar-.
chaeology. The course closes with a study of the first ten
chapters of Genesis in relation to modern discoveries. It is
especially designed to give the graduates of Oglethorpe Uni-
versity a conception of the harmony between religion and
modern science and is required of all Seniors. It is believed
that this work of co-ordination of modern science with religion
can best be done in the senior class to the end that in harmon-
izing the truths learned their faith may not be unsettled.

48 Oglethorpe University

BIBLE AND PHILOSOPHY

The course in English Bible extends over two years; it i*
required for the B. A. degree in all four Departments, and
must be pursued by every under-graduate student.

The first year is devoted to the Old Testament, the second
to the New Testament, together with the intervening period.
The study will include the mastery of the history contained
in the Bible, an analysis of each book, and such other matters
as are required for the proper understanding of the work.
It will be treated not from a sectarian point of view, nor as
mere history or literature. The aim will be to impart such
a knowledge of the subject as every intelligent man should
possess, enabling him to read his Bible with pleasure and
profit.

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

Text-Books — Bible 1. English Bible, Moorehead's Outline
Studies in the Books of the Old Testament.

Bible 2. Vollmer's Life of Christ, Kerr's Introduction to
New Testament Study.

This course will be followed in the Junior and Senior year
by Psychology, Ethics, History of Philosophy, and Evidences
of Christianity.

ogy, with some collateral study in Philosophy. Required for
all Juniors in the Classical, Scientific, Literary and Educa-
tional Schools. Three hours a week.

ENGLISH

Mr. Watkins
Professor Routh Mr. Robertson

The work in English in the first two years is designed to
give students a mastery of their own tongue for speaking and
writing, and to familiarize them with the best English litera-
ture. The elective courses, given mainly for Juniors and
Seniors, provide intensive study in special fields. The sum-
mer courses, though not identical with the winter courses, are
planned along similar lines, and give corresponding credits.
This will enable a student to complete a portion of his re-
quirements for a degree in the summer.

For graduate students work is offered leading to the degree
of M. A.

English 1. Composition. Practice in speaking and writ-
ing, with collateral study of masterpieces of modern prose.
The chief object of the course is to teach the student to ar-
range his thoughts clearly and present them with force. He
is also encouraged to enlarge his vocabulary and his stock
of ideas by the reading of good essays. All Freshmen 3 hours.

English 2. English Literature. A study of the best Eng-
lish poetry and prose, with special attention to style and to
philosophic content and to the historical development of lit-
erature. The course is designed to complete the student's
general study of literature, and at the same time to introduce
him to the specialized Junior and Senior courses. All Soph-
omores. 3 hours.

English 3-A. The Writing of News. A course for profes-
sional students in writing. Elective for Sophomores, Juniors,

50 Oglethorpe University

The class each winter supplies the Oglethorpe Players Club
with from three to six one-act plays for stage production. The
annual performances are given in Atlanta before audiences of
from one to two thousand, composed of the art lovers of the
city. The class reads modern plays and studies the technique
of the modern play, and also the history of that technique.
Juniors and Seniors. Fall and winter semesters. 3 hours.

English 4-B. Shakespeare. Juniors and Seniors. Spring
semester only. 3 hours.

English 4-C. Modern English Verse. Versification and

Graduate Course in English

Graduate courses have been given in Anglo-Saxon, Shake-
speare, Tennyson and Metrics and the Theory of Verse. These
or other courses can be arranged to suit the needs of the stu-
dents, but they will be so given as to enable the student who
has a college degree to obtain the M. A. degree in two years,
or by intensive study in a shorter time. Supplementary courses
in other departments are also required of the candidate. Some
ten thousand volumes and pamphlets in English Scholarship
recently added to the College library are now available for
use.

LIBRARY ECONOMICS

Miss Alma Hill Jamieson

The class in Library Economics meets three times weekly,
beginning with the January term. All students who have com-
pleted three terms of Freshman English are eligible. This
course is designed to instruct the student in the elements of
the decimal classification, the use of the card catalog, and to
make him familiar with the best known reference books on
every subject.

GREEK

Professor Nicolassen.

Three years of Greek will be offered in the undergraduate
classes, together with a preparatory class for those who are
unprepared for Greek I.

Preparatory Greek. This class is designed not merely
for those who have no knowledge of the language, but also
for those whose preparation is inadequate. The most import-
ant subjects, both in inflection and syntax, are presented early
in the course, and then, by a system of weekly reviews, are kept
constantly fresh.

Text-Books: Benner and Smyth's Beginner s Greek Book,
Xenophon's Anabasis (Goodwin and White). Three times a
week throughout the year. Elective.

Greek 1. The preparation for entrance into this class is
not so much a matter of time as of thoroughness. The stu-
dent is expected to know the ordinary Attic inflections and
syntax, to have read about one book of the Anabasis, and to
have had considerable practice in translating English into
Greek. The use of accents is required.

A part of the work of this class consists of the minute
study of the verbs, their principal parts, synopsis of tenses,
pr\(\ th? inflection of certain portions.

52 Oglethorpe University

Written translations of English into Greek are required 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 translating English into Greek.

Text-Books: Xenophon's Anabasis (Goodwin and White),
Memorabilia, Adams's Lysias, Goodwin's Greek Grammar,
Pearson's Greek Prose Composition, Myer's Eastern Nations
and Greece, Liddell and Scott's Greek Lexicon, (unabridged).
Three times a week throughout the year. Elective.

Greek 2. In the first term Demosthenes will be read; in
the second, Herodotus; in the third, Homer. The subject of
Phonetics is presented and illustrated by chart and model of
the larynx showing the position of the vocal organs.

Herodotus (Smith and Laird), Homer's Iliad (Seymour),
Demosthenes and Herodotus (Ancient Classics for English
Readers), Church's Stories from Homer, Fowler's Greek Liter-
ature. Three times a week throughout the year. Elective.

Greek 3. The time of this class will be divided between
prose and poetry. After the study of Thucydides and Plato,
the reading of Sophocles will be taken up. The life of the
ancient Greeks will also be considered.

Text-Books: Thucydides (Morris), Plato (Forman), Soph-
ocles' Oedipus Tyrannus (Earle), Thucydides and Plato (An-
cient Classics for English Readers), Church's Stories from the
Greek Tragedians, Gulick's Life of the Ancient Greeks. Three

up Tacitus and Juvenal. Ancient Roman" life will be consid-
ered in this part of the course; Johnson's Private Life of the
Romans. Three times a week throughout the year. Elective.

Teachers' Course. A course of instruction will be given
for teachers in and near Atlanta. The aim will be to suggest
methods for beginners and for classes in Caesar, Cicero and
Vergil. Certain departments of the grammar will be dis-
cussed, e. g., the Subjunctive Mood, the Conditions, Indirect
Discourse; scanning will be illustrated, and attention given
to topics which have caused difficulty to teachers. Sugges-
tions will be made as to the best means of helping pupils to
acquire a good vocabulary in Latin. The mode of procedure
and the subjects treated will depend somewhat on the personnel
of the class.

The work will be undertaken if as many as ten persons
offer themselves. This class will probably meet on Saturdays.

54 Oglethorpe University

Graduate Course for Special Students. Persons who
are teaching or otherwise occupied during the week and who
would like to do some graduate work in Latin or Greek by
coming on Saturdays, should communicate with the Professor.

Graduate Course in Latin and Greek

Those who are thinking of taking the graduate courses are
advised to write to the President or to the Professor, that their
preliminary studies may be so guided as to fit them for the
work. The requirements for entrance into these courses are
given elsewhere in this catalogue, under the head of Graduate
School.

In Latin the following course will be offered for the M. A.
degree in the session of 1923-24: Vergil's complete works;
