His insight into the lives of others, his balanced sense of values, his broad scientific outlook, his keen understanding, and his ever¬ present sympathy that counts our interests as his own, will always be an inspiration to Wesleyan and to all who know him. DR. JOSEPH MORRIS ALMAND To serve as a record of a year at Wesleyan in which hope, faith, loy¬ alty, and action have combined to offer triumph to the educational world, and to preserve this spirit of attainment, we present this volume.

It has always been so. Wesleyan has never been wealthy; never, for long at a time, free of hardship; yet a scarlet thread of sacrifice on the part of those who loved her has been woven into every year of her history. It is unique among colleges, this brave, sacrificial loyalty that Geok ;k Foster Pierce has carried the college through so many trying periods. Many great and wise and influential people have given their devotion to this college; a few of them have been wealthy, a great many of them humble. The urgent desire to fight to the death for Wesleyan was born even before her charter was granted. The handful of men who appealed to the state legislature for the charter had already argued themselves hoarse with those who said “the female mind was incapable of development and “all that a woman needed to know was how to read her Bible and paint a daisy in water colors. No doubt they were al¬ most too exhausted to think of their best points as they spoke to the legislature on December 23, 1836 a legislature tired and eager to get home for Christmas and not at all interested in woman’s education anyhow. hen the bill seemed lost, esleyan’s first champion outside of that little group of founders sprang to his feet. Alexander Stephens, then a young lawyer, was so moved that he made an impromptu speech. It was delivered in so fiery and eloquent a manner that his hearers were convinced, and the charter granted. It is unfortunate that we have no record of his speech, hut it was made from the heat of his convictions and he had no notes. We do know that he said later he considered his efforts on behalf of woman ' s education among the most important things he had ever done. As soon as the charter was granted, there began for the founders a period of - 8 - Ol)rea6 of Sacrifice great struggle. John Howard, Elijah Sinclair, John W. 1 alley, I.ovic Pierce, and J. L. Moultrie, all ministers of the Methodist Church, traveled over the South on horseback, begging from door to door for money for the new college. Although the cost of the building was only about $50,000, it was hard to raise the money. In 1837 there was a great financial panic which lasted nine years. George Foster Pierce was only twenty-eight years old when he came to this new college as president, but already he showed promise of becoming the eloquent speaker of whom Lord Macaulay later said: “The purest diction in use on the American continent today is that of George Foster Pierce.” Pierce, in addition to his arduous duties as presi¬ dent of a brand-new college and minister of the Meth¬ odist Conference, wrote innumerable articles in maga¬ zines and newspapers of the day defending the right of woman to equal education with men. Many of these articles we have today, showing his intense devotion to the college. In one of these he says: “If it is allowed to fail, it will be a blot on the church to which it belongs, a disgrace to the state, and a misfortune to generations to come.’ Four years after the opening of Wesleyan, financial disaster befell the new college, and the college proper¬ ties were sold at auction. But here, also, the friends of Wesleyan showed their willingness to make any necessary sacrifice to save her for future generations. President William H. Ellison along with George W. Persons, William Baily, John Rawls, James Dean, Ambrose Chapman, James A. Everett and William Scott bought in the buildings with their own money and carried on the work of the college as usual until such time as the church could repay them. It was in 1842 that the Methodist Church assumed full responsibility for the college, although even before this the group who were most active in founding the college w’ere Methodist ministers. The Georgia Messenger for December 1 1, 1838, carried an announcement of a benefit being put on by the Sewing Society of the Methodist Church to raise money to send girls to Wesleyan whose circumstances were too limited to permit them to attend. This was the first example of a “scholarship fund for worthy students, and it was raised in the first year of Wesleyan’s existence. Today scores of girls • 9 • arc receiving aid from funds raised for this purpose by friends of Wesleyan, benefac¬ tors, anti alumnae. By 1861, no doubt Bishop George Pierce and his colleagues had routed the “enemies of the college” who, Pierce said, “de¬ nounced the idea in the begin¬ ning as farcical and ridiculous, and periled the accuracy of their judgment on predictions of its failure.” By this time we hear no more about people saying that women could not learn. Then trouble descended in the form of the War Between the States. Most south¬ ern colleges closed during this period, some of them permanently; but not Wes¬ leyan. Some of her students had harrowing experiences in getting to the college; many of them stayed in the dormitories through Christmas holidays because of the dangers of travel; all of them practiced the most rigid economy in order to send blankets and supplies to the Soldiers’ Hospital. The college opened its doors to refugee families so that they might be able to eke out an existence. But the thought uppermost in the minds of the president and faculty was that Wesleyan should go on, that nothing must be permitted to hinder her great work. A bint of some of the hardships suffered by the faculty at this time is given in these excerpts of several letters from Cosby W. Smith to members of his family: “We opened yesterday with forty pupils, but others have come in since and we Iio|k that they will return gradually as they find that Macon is comparatively safe now. We hear that most of Sherman’s army has gone back in the direction of Marietta. “W e are trying to devise some plan here to get along, and perhaps we may suc¬ ceed in working it out. We propose to sell the gas pipes in the building in this way: g pil cs k ong to us, the pianos to the trustees. We have more pianos than we then u ° Ur P nt,patronage. We might swap the gas pipes for pianos and We exn et ,Kar ' ’ 1 not a °f our parlor furniture and our iron safe, etc. heavy work.’’ “ ° Wh ° ,e CO,,e S c course, though it will give us northern ma • H 1 prtsl cnt ot college at the time of the War, the only of the War 7 - ° thlS capacit y ° n, y fourteen years after the close of the War-at a t,me when relations between the North and South were still - 10 . strained, Wesleyan received her first large gift of money—from a northern capi¬ talist, George I. Seney, of Brooklyn, New ork, gave to Wesleyan the sum ot $125,000 for buildings and endowment. Asked by a fellow citizen why he gave his money to an institution of the South instead of to his own people, he replied: “They are my people; we arc one people. Before his death in 1893 he lost his great wealth, and remarked to a friend: “All that I have left is what I have given to the cause of education.” Not all those who loved W esleyan were wealthy by any means. Dr. W. C. Bass, who was for thirty-five years connected with the college as professor and later as presi¬ dent, gave away so much of his private means in scholar¬ ships to students that he was often hard pressed for money. During Dr. Bass administration at a time when there w r as general financial distress, the entire faculty signed a message to Dr. Bass which stated: “Realizing that the income of the college has been much reduced by causes beyond human control, w e desire to bear our share of the burden by taking such pro rata reduction of our salaries as you may deem just anil necessary.” Judge John S. Candler In a speech delivered one Founders’ Day, the late Dean Leon P. Smith told students about the “Academic Builders of Wesleyan,” the men and women who held high the academic standards through the years. Among these he paid tribute to Professor James C. Hinton, who was the first dean of a wom¬ an’s college in Georgia, and who held this position for twenty-five years. Pro¬ fessor Hinton stood like the rock of Gibraltar against lax standards. It is largely be¬ cause of his wise and painstaking study of trends in college curricula and his fear¬ less insistence on the best for W 7 esleyan that the college has stood among the lead¬ ing institutions of the South. Pro¬ fessor Hinton was a man of mod¬ est means, but his integrity, his sin¬ cerity, and his excellent judgment were invaluable to the college. He gave all that he had to the school that he loved and in which he had so great a faith. Time after time in the files of letters to the presi¬ dent we come across a message from him beginning somewhat in this vein: - 11 . “It is now past midnight and I have been working on the schedule since my last class,but I must call to your attention a matter which seems to me important for the good of Wesleyan. The alumnae of Wesleyan, numbering today six thousand living members, have all stood solidly hack of their Alma Mater in every crisis of her history. The Alumnae Association of Wesleyan College is the oldest in the world, founded in 1859, for the purpose of preserving college friendships and keeping alive an interest in the college. Scattered today in forty-eight states and seventeen foreign countries, the alumnae retain their loyalty to the institution and never fail to come to her aid in every time of need. During the past four years, a time when the college needed scholarship funds for needy students, the Alumnae of Wesleyan have given financial assistance to seventy-five worthy girls. A certain business man of Atlanta, entirely disinterested in Wesleyan, happened to he within hearing distance of a group of Wesleyan Alumnae in a hotel one day. Afterwards he remarked, I have never in all my life seen such unity of feeling, such enthusiastic allegiance to anything as they have for their college. A college that can inspire such loyalty cannot fail.” esleyan s trustees have always been diligent in their work for the college, those of recent years no less than those of the early pioneering days. When it be¬ came apparent in the 1920’s that expansion was necessary if the college should continue, they gave generously of their money and their time to the cause of the new college campus at Rivoli. Judge John S. Candler of Atlanta, in memory ot his father and mother, gave the beautiful library building which is dedicated to the “Mak¬ ing of Christian Womanhood.” I he late Colonel Samuel Tate of Tate, Georgia, gave the marble used in the twelve build¬ ings at Rivoli at the cost of transporting it from the quarry. Others of means contributed gener- ously to the campaign. Throughout they displayed tl.at sacr.fic.al spirit of aiding Wesleyan that has seen her through other dark days. - 12 - There were others, too, who gave gifts of a different kind. Mr. Orville A. Park presented to Wesleyan his library of Georgiana, a valuable collection of ma¬ terial on this state. The late Mr. William % ‘Rok’ Rogers was bound, heart and soul, in two institutions, Wesleyan College and Mulberry Street Methodist Church. Like the men who threw themselves into the fight for Wesleyan in the early years, Mr. “Rok” became the symbol, to all who knew him, of devotion to the college. Although he had little money, his purse was always open when the college was in need. It is said that at one time, when he was invited to a formal dinner, he said: ‘Tm sorry, but I have no dress suit. Wesleyan has my dress suit. ’ For many years the Wesleyan trustees contributed to the college from their own pockets. Last year, four trus¬ tees and an alumna united, in a very serious crisis in the college’s affairs, and pledged their personal securities to the amount of $350,000 in order that Wesleyan might con tinue its work unhampered. Those five, Mr. W. D. Ander¬ son, Mrs. W. I). Anderson, Mr. T. J. Stewart, Mr. James A. Porter, and Mr. Robert J. Taylor, will always be re¬ membered along with the other great names who placed their faith in the “Oldest and Best. Mrs. W. D. Anderson During 1937-38, negotiations have been going on with the Wesleyan bondhold¬ ers in order to reach a settlement. It was a trustee, Mr. R. J. Taylor, who gave his time and thought for almost a year to this matter and effected the final settlement with the Bondholders’ Committee. A fellow trustee said to Mr. Taylor of this settlement: “As I look at it, you are responsible for this transaction. Your devotion to Wesleyan’s interests, your constant thought and work in connection with the problem, your persistence in pursuing the matter when all others were ready to give up, the almost infinite patience you ex¬ hibited in the negotiations—all constitute a remarkable exhibition of human talent and accomplishments. I have never seen anything like it.’’ And thus the tiny scarlet thread spun in 1836 from the faith and convictions of a few has slowly entwined itself into the hearts and lives of all who have dedi¬ cated themselves to the furtherance of Wesleyan. It is within them and others like them who must take up this torch of knowledge that we find so deeply inter¬ woven the Scarlet Thread of Sacrifice.” Robert J. Taylor • 13 - mi — VIEW OF THE 7 ’Siteylace IN THE PARLORS THE ENTRANCE TO 7 L 0 C cnsetvatoty PRESIDENT... I I DICE ROBINS ANDERSON A.B., M.A., Ph.D., LL.D.

That was our first spell of homesick¬ ness. As we realize that the day of our graduation is only a few months, instead of years, away we have again that funny, homesick feeling. The cause is different, for now we are not so anxious to leave Wes¬ leyan, the teachers, our little sisters, and everything that has had a part in our lives during the four years that we have been here. The conflicts, the struggles, the trivial unhappiness that we have endured are overshadowed by the memories of the good times we have had together. Our way has been difficult, and many times we have thought of just not trying any more. That idea was soon forgotten, however, and we entered the fight with more spirit than any of the others. Irene Moyer President Let us review the events which have happened since we have been at Wesleyan. Our freshman year it was predicted that we would carry off all the honors. It rained Thanksgiving Day! The disappoint¬ ment was too great. It dampened our spirit and we were soon eliminated from the race. The judges did not like our pantomime for Stunt night either. In the spring we set up our claim for the tennis championship and have kept it. 1 hen we were sophomores and in a building all to ourselves. We lorded over the freshmen Mr. George C Collins Sponsor - 36 - WITH THE CLASS OF ’39 as though we were not one year removed from that lowly estate. We were congratulated on the way we hazed them and the manner in which we conducted rat court. We watched our sisters win the soccer and basketball tourna¬ ments, but we pulled out on them to win the swimming meet. We let the marriage of Wally and Edward get first place instead of our newspaper wedding, and we could not take a back seat any longer. We came back in September and could hardly believe that our Tri-K class had gone. Then we saw our little sisters and were glad that we were juniors. We wondered if our sisters had felt the same way about us. Our stunt, “The History of the Big Apple,” did not win first place, or second, and we knew that fate was against our class. After a good cry, our noise and cheerful spirits returned and we proved what sports we are. 1 he Anderson C abin was completed in the spring, and we felt that we had built something permanent. Ora Hollis Conservatory President Carver Almaxd Mascot Now we are seniors and we won Stunt Night. Those are the two things that we have looked for¬ ward to. Nothing can defeat us now. No matter what happens we can remember that we attained that goal. We will never forget the words of one of our songs, “And for our dear old class we’ll do our best.” We will go out from college with the determi¬ nation to go forward, taking each loss as a step toward victory. As we go, the banner of Golden Heart will move on before us. —Virginia Anderson. - 37 - H U 0 0 l [ 0 e n EUGENIA ANDERSON Macon , Georgia A.B., CHEMISTRY Transfer Randolph-Macon 2: Biblical Litera¬ ture Club 2; Crucible Club 3, 4; Swimming 3, 4; Advertising Staff Wesleyan 3; Adver¬ tising Manager Wesleyan 4; Junior Marshal 3.

Moral: Give us another hundred years of education and see what will happen. Fate having honored us with starting Wesleyan ' s sec¬ ond hundred years simultaneously with our arrival, we have felt that we have a definite mission to fulfill in seeing that this century begins well. It couldn’t be that we were especially chosen to set the style for onion necklaces, but of course that was the sophomores ' idea, and we wouldn’t want to claim undeserved credit. We thought at first our mission might be car¬ ried out on the soccer field, but the seniors beat us in the championship game. Since then we have gone to two other championships and lost. But when sophs beat dignified juniors, some¬ thing must be done, and we ll do it next year! As sophomores we were full of ideas, such as shooting firecrackers and possibly changing a - 72 - Miss Frances McCann Sponsor WITH THE CLASS OF ’40 few rules, but Honor Council’s reaction persuaded us that we were still on the wrong track. Now we know that we were just like all other sophomores, which we definitely didn ' t want to be. When it comes to decorating tables, we can do it beau¬ tifully, and when we have T hanksgiving banquets we can weep as many tears as the rest of the classes. We are the proud holders of three first places taken in our sophomore year. T he stunt, the basketball cham¬ pionship, and the golf tournament cups came our way. But that ' s been done before, and we are still planning to do something unique. We adore tennis and swimming, and we are going to give keen competition in those fields next year. This year, we have had sisters, and we have tried to be the best yet. But we still feel that we haven’t accomplished our special purpose. Next year, you can watch for big things from the green and gold. It may be that we 11 in all the first places, but whatever we do we want to make Wesleyan proud of us. —Marjorie Potts.

With these for our omens, and with days crowded with fun and classes ahead of us, we eagerly awaited the starting whistle. The mysteries of soccer soon became everyday knowl¬ edge as we practiced each afternoon. One day our prac¬ tice was interrupted as we broke all speed records getting to the post office to receive our mid-semester grades. After we had successfully emerged from the throes of despair, or descended from the Klysian fields the place determined by our grades—we were ready for our first Thanksgiving day at Wesleyan. We experienced for the first time the thrill of a closely-contested soccer game- played in the rain, of course—followed by the almost un¬ believable beauty and solemnity of the banquet. Our team did not play in the finals, but we won on Thanks¬ giving day. Though Mickey Mouse and his crew of fantastic friends almost succeeded in scoring for us on Stunt Night, they missed the goal posts slightly, and we came in second. Time outs were few and far between; one we Sarah Louise Turner President Though our basketball team did not reach the finals, our swimming team found the range and gave us our first goal in winning the cham¬ pionship. had at Christmas, when the memory of Christ¬ mas carols sung at dawn remained in our hearts as well as in our minds; the second was spring vacation, a time of complete recuperation from final exams which were, for many of us, our first ones—but still not quite as bad as we had ex¬ pected ! - 84 - Miss Thelma Howell Sponsor WITH THE CLASS OF ’41 Time passed rapidly, and the whistle ended our first quarter just after the seniors received their degrees signi¬ fying completion of their game. The time between quarters slipped by, and again whistles and horns heralded the beginning of another quarter. Our lineup was somewhat changed since, to our regret, some of our regulars were unable to play in the second period. Their loss seemed almost irreparable. However, since we had a few new substitutes to help fill their places, our team did not suffer quite as much as otherwise it might have. A stir of excitement soon centered around the Battle of Wits between students and faculty. The crowd waited tensely as each contestant carefully—though fearfully— drew his question. Loud cheering closed the battle as the students—much aided by our sophomore representa¬ tives—won over the “wiser” ones. In soccer this year we successfully reached the finals and scored our second goal in our game of Life-at- Wesleyan by winning the championship. On the night before the finals in soccer, we cheered our sister class to victory in the stunts as we again missed the range and came in third. Margaret Lewis Conservatory President Christmas drew near, and for the second time we had the joy of playing Santa Claus to the orphans. Again we had the fun of attempt- ing to get dolls and automobiles, undamaged, through the excited crowds. As our time out for Christmas finally arrived we rested with a reiterated expression of loyalty to our team as we still maintained, “Dear old Tri-K, going to win forever”! —Helen HlooJuorth.

Perhaps the world will not consider our advent upon the collegiate stage comparable to Hitler’s curtain-raising seizure of Austria. But, even though our debut may not be recorded along with the events of 1938, so momentous in shaping the destinies of nations, still, it marks the beginning of an epoch in our lives which will shape our destinies, and, we hope, have a happy influence on an ever-expanding realm of usefulness. “To set down on paper” our history without the aid of a crystal-gazer is almost like writing the events of day after tomorrow. Although the Fates have decreed that our brows should not be adorned with wreaths of oak leaves this year, we have an abiding confidence in our future achievements. At present, we are merely setting the stage and making our bow in collegiate life. The first act in the freshman drama, comedy or tragedy — “As You i.ike 11, —was upon the soccer field. We played the traditional enemies of newcomers, the soph¬ omores. Although luck was against us, the sophs knew lull too well that they had been given a long run for their money when the curtain came down upon a 5-4 victory in their favor. As for the rest of the soccer season, we were like the C onfederate soldier, who, when asked how many Yankees he had killed, replied, “I killed as Rita Saxtry President 94 - Miss Mildred Cartledge Sponsor WITH THE CLASS OF ' 42 many of them as they did of me”—for though we lost to the sophs, we triumphed over the dignified seniors. Being tender-hearted and considerate and not wishing to sadden the seniors ' last year too much, we stepped aside and allowed them to win “Stunt Night.” Although our play did not win the laurels, Betty Withers, Andc Davis, Gloria Chen and Mary Stuart Becking produced a clever, original and very entertaining play which brought forth commendation from all sides. Our class is to be congratulated upon the selection of such capable leaders as Miss Cartledge as Sponsor; Rita Santry, President; Emily Hearn, Vice-President; Annie Laurie Kurtz, Secretary; and Carolyn Norman, Treas¬ urer. We are also well represented in the Glee Club. Dramatic Club, and Debaters ' Council. Breathes there a freshman with soul so dead who never to herself hath said, “Where, oh where has our Sophie gone?” Sophie, the original creation of the freshman class, occupied but a brief scene in our drama. She was the main topic of conver- Mildred Fincher Conservatory President sation for the three days before her turbulent ex¬ istence was terminated by the envious sophs. Her exit from the stage of life, like Joan of Arc, was at the stake. We lay some claim to originality in selecting for our mascot, Honest Israel of Kthiopi an persuasion. We freshmen are a happy tribe for has not some historian written, “Happy is that people whose annals are brief ?

The purpose of this form of government is to represent and further the interests of the student body, to secure cooperation between different organizations, and to promote responsibility, self-control, and loyalty among students. This year Honor Council, made up of student representatives, has tried to emphasize the responsibility of indi¬ vidual students as members of the college government. Student speakers have taken part in the chapel exercises, and a box has been placed in the Honor Council room for student sug¬ gestions. Cooperating with the V. W. C. A., Council has planned interesting activities for the week-ends. Student government does not exist in perfect form at Wesleyan, hut we are striving every year to improve it. We believe that in learning to govern ourselves we are learning one of life’s most important lessons. - 136 - Jkno COUNCIL Molly Ray Respess . Eleanor McCary Carol Jones . . . Emily Cottingham .

BARBARA DAVIS President “The Young Women’s Christian Association of Wesleyan College, a member of the Young Women’s Christian Association of the United States of America and a participant in the World Student Christian Federation, declares its purpose to be: We, the members of the Young Women’s Christian Association of Wesleyan College, unite in the desire to realize a full and creative life through a growing knowl¬ edge of God. We determine to have a part in making this life possible for all people. In this task we seek to understand Jesus and to follow Him.” hor forty-two years the . W. C. A. of Wesleyan College has been striving to help the indi¬ vidual find in her own experience the one and only problem which vitally concerns her: the problem of discovering the road to life and self-fulfillment. ' File Y’. W. C. A. seeks to open up new fields for action and growth of personality and to increase opportunities for living the abundant life. I lie Department of Social Activities offers development in and enjoyment of social living through informal parties, deputation suppers, Christmas trees, banquets, and annual stunt night. hor living through service, the Department of Social Service gives each student the chance to be happy by making others happy through entertainment for the servants and play with the Hephzibah Home Children. broadening of interests and opportunity for mental stimulation is opened up by the World rriendship Department and the Department of Industry. These two groups interpret life as related to international and missionary interests anti also as connected with the great field of social problems in industry. (Opportunity for creative living and the expression of the beauty within us are offered by the Publicity and Music De¬ partments. Poster-making, bulletin board arrange¬ ments, step-sings, Christ¬ mas carols, musicals—all of these inspire creative living. Perhaps through the avenue of varied worship services, which offer op¬ portunities for spiritual growth, is the influence of the Y. W. C. A. felt most. Morning watch, vespers, and taps point the road to life and give strength, courage, and inspiration to help along the way. The Y. W. C. A. in ever)’ phase of its activity is an organization by, for, and of tbe students, who each seeks to uphold its purpose in her life. a J iu =dctiviUj at WESLEYAN •- Barbara Davis . .

ITie object of the association is to promote interest in physical development and to encourage fair play and true sportsmanship throughout the student body. I he Athletic Board is composed of a representative group selected from the Athletic Associa¬ tion. I he Board sponsors all athletic activities throughout the year. T he beginning of soccer practice early in the fall initiates the freshmen into the college sports. Enthusiasm, class spirit, and true sportsmanship are displayed on I hanksgiving Day as the freshmen meet the sophomores and the juniors vie with the seniors in the first soccer games of the season. Even before the thrill of soccer has subsided, all students look forward to basketball with equal enthusiasm. The swimming meet and tennis tournaments are the main features on the sports calendar in the spring. Throughout the year the Board promotes such activities as golf, hiking, horseback riding, ping- pong, bicycling, baseball, hockey, and badminton. During the past year several clubs have been formed to stimulate interest in the particular sports. The horseback club, tennis club, and golf club have proved quite success- fid, ami plans have been made to organize swimming and dancing clubs. Besides the regular sports, the Athletic Association sponsors entertain¬ ments of different sorts. Breakfast hikes, hay rides, wiener roasts, and horseback rides help to furnish fun for the students. The cabaret, with attractive decorations, a floor show, and an orchestra, is the greatest event of the year. -HO. ASSOCIATION a,J BOARD Frances Brown. Ruth Hall. Catherine Pate. Virginia Anderson.

ANDERSON, Ph.D., LL.I)., President - 182 - EMORY UNIVERSITY ATLANTA GEORGIA F ()l NDED IN 1836 as a liberal arts college, moved to a new and modern plant following its enlargement into a University in 1915, Emory combines the ! est of the old in higher education with the best of the new. From the beginning this institution has striven for quality rather than quantity in its student body. The L niversity today, consequently, is small enough for friendly, inspiring relations be¬ tween students and faculty, yet large enough for the broadening, cultural influence that comes from contact with men in many fields of learning. Emory’s 235-acre campus of rolling woodland is located in the beautiful Druid Hills section of Atlanta, six miles from the heart of the city. There are eighteen buildings of Georgia marble and concrete, constructed along distinctive lines of archi¬ tecture and providing the most up-to-date facilities for study and student life. The University operates on the four-quarter basis. By attending school in the Summer Quarter, which carries the same credit as each of the three quarters in the regular scholastic year, the student may finish his college course in three years. Emory is fully approved by the Associations of American Universities, the high¬ est of all the accrediting agencies, and each of its professional schools holds an “A” rating in its respective field. The Emory Junior Colleges at Oxford and Valdosta, Georgia, are integral parts of the University System.
