EDUCATION OF VETERANS
Davidson College is cooperating in full with the Veterans Administration in its educational program for men whose education was interrupted by the war and for veterans who plan to enter college for the first time. Davidson is a liberal arts college offering those courses leading to the Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Arts Degrees. Description in detail of the offerings of the College is listed under the appropriate head- ings in the catalog. Members of the armed forces who wish to enter Davidson should contact the Registrar of the College who is in position to give veterans full information concerning the program of the College for ex-servicemen.
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
The financial assistance available to veterans for educational purposes is a subsistence allowance by the Federal Government of $75 a month if without dependents or $105 to $120 a month with one or more dependents. For the customary charges for tuition and necessary college fees an amount not to exceed $500 will be paid for an ordinary college year. This amount is suffi- cient to meet the college fees and approved charges at Davidson. The Veterans Administration pays all tuition and college fees, medical fees, laboratory fees, books, and supplies. From the allowance of $75 or $105 to $120 a month a veteran must take care of his living expenses including board, room and laundry. Veterans who wish to attend Davidson under the provisions and benefits of the "G. I. Bill" should communicate with the nearest Veterans Administration office. ENTRANCE
The requirements for entrance to Davidson are listed in this catalog. Veterans who have completed work while in the service that might be used as academic credit should have the appropriate authorities send to the Admissions Office of the College a record of service courses completed. In addition, transcript of record from preparatory schools or high schools should be forwarded to the College for evaluation as well a* transcripts from insti- tutions of higher education, if the veteran has attended college prior to his entry into the armed forces. It is possible that cir- cumstances of certain veterans may justify exceptions being made to the ordinary entrance requirements. The case of each appli- cant will be determined on its merits. Inquiry with reference to admission should be addressed to the Registrar of the College.
CREDIT FOR SERVICE COURSES
A veteran who while in the service was enrolled in a College Training Program such as the A.S.T.P. or the V-12 or some similar program can expect to receive credit upon his return to college as a civilian for courses successfully completed at the college level. A veteran who wishes credit for such work must have a transcript of his record sent to the College from the authorities of the institution he attended as a member of the armed forces. Appropriate credit will also be granted by the College for work completed under the direction of the United States Armed Forces Institute. In its determination of credit for in-service educational experiences the College is following the recommendation of the American Council on Education in its publication, rf A Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Exper- iences in the Armed Services." ACCELERATED PROGRAM
To allow as many opportunities during the calendar year as possible for veterans to begin their work and to permit veterans to speed up their undergraduate training, the College is operat- ing under the accelerated program throughout the year. This program includes two full semesters plus a twelve-weeks summer term, and under this program opportunities are given veterans to enter at any one of four periods in the year. It is possible for a veteran under this program entering college for the first time to complete the requirements for graduation in three calendar years. COURSE OF STUDY
It is not planned at Davidson to place veterans in any special group. They will be expected to attend under the same condi- tions and regulations and enjoy the same benefits as students coming to us from civilian life. No special department of study has been set up specifically for veterans. The College offers a thorough and varied program in the field of liberal education for those who wish to go on to graduation. Tt is possible for a studen* who does not plan to graduate to take short courses in prepara- tion for entrance to such professional schools as medicine, den- tistry, engineering, law, ministry, and so forth.
The enrollment of Davidson College is restricted, and in the selection of students consideration is given to those best equipped to meet the standards of the Faculty. The Counseling Program of the College is available for veterans, and classes particularly at the Freshman and Sophomore levels, are small, thus furnish- ing a close relationship between student and instructor.
Additional information on the College and its work, appli- cation forms, catalog, viewbook, and a bulletin, Information For Prospective Stiidents published in particular with reference to veterans, may be had by writing to the Registrar, Davidson College, Davidson, North Carolina.

Alumni Association. The Presbytery of Concord is entitled to elect eight, Mecklenburg five, Orange and Fayetteville four each, the other six Presbyteries in North Carolina and the three Presbyteries in Florida two each, and the Alumni Asso- ciation twelve, making a total of fifty-one. All trustees are elected for a term of four years.

Davidson College was founded in 1837 by the descendants of those sturdy Scotch Presbyterians who arrived in America by way of North Ireland, and thus came to be known as the Scotch- Irish. The Scotch have for centuries been noted for their love for education and for their high educational standards. While Davidson was founded by these Scotch-Irish Presbyterians, it has never been sectarian in its teachings. The original charter,
which was granted in 183 8, stated that the purpose of the College was "to educate youth of all classes without any regard to the distinction of religious denominations, and thereby to promote the more general diffusion of knowledge and virtue."
The Scotch-Irish began to settle in this beautiful Piedmont section of the Carolinas, in considerable numbers, as early as 1750. They built a large number of churches, and practically every church had in connection with it a good classical school. There was a score of such schools in the general territory in which Davidson College is located. Some of them became famous.
In due time this zeal for higher education resulted in a determination to found a Christian college of high rank. At that time there was no college of any kind in the western half of the Carolinas. Accordingly, in March, 183 5, Concord Pres- bytery enthusiastically passed a resolution approving the found- ing of a college. It is well to remember that at that date Concord Presbytery covered the whole of the western half of North Carolina. It included the territory which has since been set off into Mecklenburg and Asheville Presbyteries. A few months later Bethel Presbytery, which covered the upper and western parts of South Carolina, joined the movement to estab- lish a college. As the years went by, all the Presbyteries in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida united in the ownership and control of the college. In more recent years the Presbyteries of South Carolina and Georgia have withdrawn to build their own institution.
The leader of the movement to found a college was Rev. Robert Hall Morrison, pastor of historic Sugaw Creek Church,
near Charlotte, N. C. He and Rev. P. J. Sparrow of Salisbury, N. C, raised $30,000.00 for the proposed college in an incredibly 20 DAVIDSON COLLEGE short time. The new institution was named Davidson College as a tribute to the memory of General William Lee Davidson, a Presbyterian Revolutionary hero, who was killed at Cowan's Ford, only a few miles from Davidson College, as he opposed Lord Cornwallis. The land on which the college stands was secured from General Davidson's son, who, in turn, became a large contributor to the support of the College.
The corner stone of Davidson College was laid on April 7, 1836, "in the presence of a large concourse of people." The original buildings were erected on the four sides of a rather small quadrangle, on the front of the present campus.
Five of those original buildings are still standing and still serving useful purposes. The main building stood on the north end of the quadrangle. It contained the classrooms and the chapel, where daily chapel exercises and the church services were held. It came to be known as the "Old Chapel." In 1902 it was enlarged by the use of money contributed by Dr. J. B. Shearer, and then rededicated as "Shearer Biblical Hall." The Eumenean and Philanthropic Society Halls stood, and still stand, on the south end of the quadrangle. Oak Row stands on the west side of the quadrangle, and Elm Row on the east side.
On March 1, 1837, Davidson College began its career as an educational institution, with three professors (including the president), and sixty-five students. Rev. Robert Hall Morrison, D.D., was the first president. He resigned in 1840 on account of ill health, but continued to serve as a trustee of the College for a number of years. At first the College required each student to do some manual labor, but this proved unsatisfactory and was dropped at the end of four or five years.
We may anticipate here and say that the following is a complete list of the names of the presidents of Davidson College.
The dates indicate their tenure of office: Rev. Robert Hall Morrison, D.D., (1836-1840).
Rev. Samuel Williamson, D.D., (1841-1 8 54). Rev. Drury Lacy, D.D., (185 5-1860). Rev. John Lycan Kirkpatrick, D.D., (1860-1866). Rev. George Wilson McPhail, D.D., LL.D., (1866-1871). Prof. John Rennie Blake, A.M., Chairman of Faculty (1871- 1877). HISTORICAL SKETCH 21
Rev. Andrew Dox Hepburn, D.D., LL.D., (1877-1885). Rev. Luther McKinnon, D.D., (1885-1888). Rev. John Bunyan Shearer, D.D., LL.D., (1888-1901). Prof. Henry Louis Smith, Ph.D., LL.D., (1901-1912). Prof. William Joseph Martin, Ph.D., M.D., LL.D., (1912- 1929). Rev. Walter Lee Lingle, D.D., LL.D. (1929-1941). Rev. John Rood Cunningham, D.D., LL.D. (1941—).
During the first twenty years of its existence the young College had one prolonged financial struggle. It had a good faculty and the student enrollment was satisfactory', but there was no endowment and no adequate income for current expenses.
A sudden turn came in the affairs of the College when, in 18 56, it received nearly a quarter of a million dollars through the bequest of the late Maxwell Chambers of Salisbury, N. C. That was a large sum of money for those days. New and enlarged plans were made for the College. A new quadrangle of noble proportions was planned, about one hundred and fifty yards east of the old quadrangle. One unit in the new quad- rangle was erected in 18 57 at a cost of about $90,000, and named "The Maxwell Chambers Building." It contained class rooms, auditorium and dormitories. The Old Chambers, as it came to be known, was a handsome building, and served a large purpose in the life of the College for a period of sixty- four years.
The Maxwell Chambers bequest also gave the College a real endowment, which greatly relieved the financial distress. The College started upon a new career. Then came the Civil War. The student attendance was greatly decreased and the larger part of the endowment was lost. Practically all the students and alumni of the College who were physically qualified enlisted in the army, and many of them lost their lives. After the war came the reconstruction period, with all of its demoralization; but in spite of this the College began to build up a stronger faculty than it had ever had in its history. Between 1868 and 1877 the following unusually able men became members of the
faculty: Dr. Charles Phillips, Col. W. J. Martin, Dr. James F. Latimer, Dr. A. D. Hepburn, Dr. William M. Thornton, Dr. John Russell Sampson, and Dr. William W. Carson. Few 22 DAVIDSON COLLEGE institutions of that day could boast of such a group of men. As these men retired, other strong men took their places, and from that day to this the members of the faculty have ranked high in scholarship and in personality.
There was, however, no large increase in the number of students, or in the endowment, between 1870 and the close of the century. The South had been impoverished by the Civil War. With the beginning of the twentieth century there was an educational revival in the South. Prosperity had also begun to return to this impoverished section. Under the energetic leadership of a new president, the College entered upon a period of expansion. The student attendance grew. The endowment was increased. New dormitories and other buildings were erected. The faculty was enlarged. In the campaigns for in- creased endowments the General Education Board in New York made a number of contributions and thus made the success of the campaigns possible.
On November 28, 1921, the Old Chambers Building was burned. It had stood there as the center of College life so long that its destruction seemed a mortal blow. But through the indefatigable labors of the president and his capable associates, money was raised for the erection of a new Chambers Building at a cost of more than $600,000.00. This building was com- pleted in 1929 and dedicated at Commencement in 1930. The General Education Board and several loyal alumni made large contributions towards the erection of the new Chambers.
The year 1926 marks the beginning of a new era of expansion for Davidson College. In that year Davidson College began to receive five per cent of the income of "The Duke Endow- ment." Thus far, this has increased the annual income of the College by $75,000 or more annually. That has enabled the College to enlarge its faculty and increase its student body to provide a retirement system for its faculty and to better main- tain its plant. The Duke Endowment was created by the late James B. Duke, of Charlotte, N. C, and New York, with a capital of $40,000,000.00. The fact that a business man of such large affairs should, without solicitation, remember Davidson College in providing for the distribution of the income from his endowment, is in itself a tribute to the college.
It is impossible to condense the history of Davidson College into a few pages. A full account, down to 1923, has been HISTORICAL SKETCH 23 written by Miss Cornelia Shaw in a book of over three hundred pages. The College has entered upon its second century of service. Each generation has contributed something in love, in loyalty, in money, and in ideals to make its spirit finer than it was before. The infant institution of 1837 has grown into a strong College with an able faculty of over forty men, and a student enrollment of six hundred and fifty. The grounds, buildings and equipment are worth approximately $2,600,000.
The endowment which it holds in its own name is slightly in excess of $1,5 00,000. The College is beneficiary under other
trusts, the principal of which is equivalent to approximately $3,250,000. The annual current expense budget of the College amounts to about $5 00,000. The standing of the College in the
education world is indicated by some facts which are stated in the paragraph which follows:
Davidson College is a member of the Association of American Colleges, of the Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools of the Southern States, of the Southern University Conference, of the National Conference of Church-Related Colleges, of the
Presbyterian Education Association of the South, and is on the list of Colleges Approved by the Association of American Uni- versities. Davidson also has a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa.
The resources of Davidson College represent an accumulation of donations and bequests covering more than a century. Scarcely a year passes now that the College does not receive some new gift or bequest. The thought of this may prompt you to include the Trustees of Davidson College in your will. Without min- imizing the value of an attorney in writing such an important document, we suggest the following bequest form:
"I give, devise, and bequeath to the Trustees of Davidson College, Davidson, North Carolina
(here insert the sum or the property bequeathed)
for the following purpose (here insert the purpose, such as general endowment, scholarship endowment, building fund) GROUNDS AND BUILDINGS GROUNDS
LOCATION
Davidson College is located twenty miles north of Charlotte, North Carolina, on a branch line of the Southern Railway, and on the Davidson College Highway. It is easy of access from all directions by rail, by automobile, and by bus.
The campus consists of about fifty acres. It is set in grass and shaded by elms and oaks. On this campus there are located fifteen college buildings. The College also owns sixty-five acres of land adjacent to the campus on which is a golf course.
ATHLETIC FIELD
The Richardson Field is a splendid athletic field with a concrete stadium. It contains a football field, a baseball diamond, and a cinder running track. This field was made possible by the generosity of two brothers, Messrs. H. S. and L. Rich- ardson, and is dedicated to the memory of their father, the late Mr. L. Richardson.
The Sprunt Field was made possible by the generosity of the late Mr. W. H. Sprunt and is named as a memorial to him. It is a large, well-graded area, sufficient in width and length for two football fields. It is largely used for intra-mural sports of all kinds.
The Freshman Field is a well-graded athletic field, covered with a fine turf, and is used mainly for Freshman football practice and drill ground.
Near the athletic fields are a dozen well-constructed tennis courts, which are open for the greater part of the year.
A golf course is located on College property adjacent to the athletic fields. This course is open to all students free of charge. GROUNDS AND BUILDINGS 2 5
BUILDINGS
NEW CHAMBERS
The New Chambers, the main building of the campus, with 325 feet of frontage, consists of three units. One unit provides administrative offices, classrooms, and professors' offices. The middle unit contains a beautiful and spacious auditorium, seating nearly twelve hundred people and furnished with a three manual Skinner Pipe Organ, costing $20,000, a gift of Mrs. Cameron Morrison, of Charlotte, N. C, who also give a Steinway Duo- Art Piano for the auditorium. This unit also contains a Banquet Hall, seating six hundred, with a well-equipped kitchen; also a Trustee and Faculty Room. The third unit provides abundant space for the departments of Physics and Geology and is furnished with the best of laboratory equipment.
GREY MEMORIAL LIBRARY
The building was erected and equipped in 1941, a gift of Capt. James Parks Grey of the class of 1885, and named in honor of the parents of the donor The Hugh A. and Jane Parks Grey Memorial Library. Stacks, furnishings, lighting, and technical equipment are of the most modern and efficient type.
The building is open from 8:30 A.M. to 11:00 P.M. on week days. There is at present a professional staff of four persons with degrees in library science. At least one is always available to students for reference assistance. The library operates on the "open stack" system, possible only with a select student-body, and of considerable advantage to the users. Stu- dents have access to any part of the stacks and building at will.
There are approximately S 0,000 volumes in the library and it
is a depository' for U. S. Government publications, which means that it receives free such publications of the government as are usable here. Reading material is selected on three bases: appropriateness for study by college students, usefulness for keeping abreast of research by members of the faculty and fitness for recreational reading by students and faculty. Both students and faculty have a share in selecting books and periodicals. 26 DAVIDSON COLLEGE
The "Davidsoniana Room" has a copy of every available pub- lication by and about the alumni of the college, an especially good collection on Woodrow Wilson (class of 1877), and a unique collection of material on the mysterious Frenchman Peter Stewart Ney who designed the college seal.
LABORATORIES
The Chemistry and Biology laboratories are located in the
new Science Hall. The Physics laboratory is located in the north wing of the New Chambers Building. All laboratories are well equipped.
SHEARER BIBLICAL HALL
In 1902 the Old Chapel, which was erected in 1837, was rebuilt, enlarged, and rededicated as The Shearer Biblical Hall.
It has been largely supplanted by the New Chambers, but its auditorium is still used for student mass meetings, band practice, and other useful purposes.
THE LITERARY SOCIETY HALLS
The Eumenean and Philanthropic Society Halls are among the oldest and most interesting buildings at Davidson. Both halls are well equipped for their purposes and have made a large contribution to the development of the literary and forensic ability of the students for many years.
OAK ROW AND ELM ROW
These quaint buildings served as dormitories when the College was first opened and for many years afterwards. They are now used as offices by student publications and other organi- zations.
ALUMNI GYMNASIUM
This building was erected in 1914 from funds given by the alumni. GROUNDS AND BUILDINGS 27
A large room in the New Chambers Building has been set apart as a Museum. When the Old Chambers Building was burned in 1921 a very valuable mineralogical and geological collection was destroyed, along with many articles of historical
interest. Progress is being made towards a new collection. Geological and mineralogical specimens and such other collec- tions as belong in a museum will be welcomed.
THE PREYER INFIRMARY
Through the generosity of Mr. and Mrs. William Y. Preyer, a new College Infirmary was erected in 1938. It is an up-to-date building with private rooms and wards adequate for all the needs of the College for years to come. It is well equipped with modern appliances including an X-ray machine.
The Infirmary is in charge of Dr. J. B. Woods, College Phy- sician, and Mrs. Sara D. Johnston, a registered nurse who has had excellent hospital training and experience.
The College fees entitle a student to free medical treatment by the College Physician and Nurse for ordinary cases of sick- ness or accident. The student pays for all medicines, bandages, and so forth, except those of an inexpensive nature. Consulta- tion with, or treatment by, any other physician than the Col- lege Physician, and any extra nursing are at the expense of the student. If it is necessary for the student to remain in the Infirmary he will be charged for board at the rate of $1.25 per day. The Physician and Nurse observe regular office hours and students are advised to consult them freely on all matters pertaining to their health. In cases of emergency, the Physician and Nurse are available not only during office hours but at all times.
professors' residences
The College owns twenty-three professors' residences, which are conveniently located in the neighborhood of the campus.
dormitories
There are six dormitory buildings. They are built of brick, heated by steam, and equipped with modern conveniences. The 28 DAVIDSON COLLEGE four largest dormitories are fireproof, and all of them have approved fire escapes. Although there are a few single rooms, most of the rooms were built to accommodate two students but under conditions now existing students are placed three to the room. The rooms are furnished with single and double-deck beds, study table, chiffonier, and bookracks, and Illuminating Engi- neering Society reading lamps. The student provides his own bed linen, blankets, towels, pillow, etc. Many students also provide their rooms with rugs, curtains, chiffonier scarfs and other home- like touches. Rooms are cared for by competent janitors. Mrs. R. A. Little is the supervisor of dormitories. Neatness and tidiness are encouraged in the care of the rooms.
The following is a list of the dormitories with the capacity of each: East 126 West 126 Watts 96 Georgia 63 Rumple 60 James B. Duke 75
FRATERNITY COURT
A unique feature at Davidson College is Fraternity Court, consisting of eleven houses erected by the College in a grove on the campus, for use of Greek letter social fraternities. Each of these attractive, one-story brick buildings consists of a large reception hall, another large room in which official meetings a»e held, and a kitchenette. The houses do not contain any dormi- tories and do not have any boarding departments. They are social centers where the members of the fraternities meet and where they entertain their friends from time to time. These social centers aid in creating intimate friendship and developing social gifts.
THE LAUNDRY
The College maintains a modern laundry equipped to do the work of the students in a satisfactory way. For hygienic and other reasons all students except those living at home are required to patronize this laundry. The plant is equipped to handle both the laundry and dry cleaning needs of students and faculty at a minimum cost. REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION
Applicants for admission should enter into correspondence with the Registrar at as early a date as possible. Since the Col- lege enrollment is limited, it is advisable to make application for entrance and to pay the registration fee of $10.00 at an early date in the spring. In accepting students preference is given to those presenting the best evidence, in point of scholar- ship, character and personality, of qualifications for success in college work. In order to be considered, the applicant must rank, scholastically, above the lowest third of his graduating class.
ADMISSION FROM HIGH SCHOOL BY CERTIFICATE
The candidate must present a certificate (blank is furnished by the College on application) of his high school records, care- fully and completely filled out and signed by the superintendent or principal of his school. In addition, the superintendent or principal must recommend that the applicant be accepted by the College, before his application can be considered. A state- ment of good moral character is required. For admission to
Freshman standing it is necessary for the applicant to be a graduate of an accredited school and to present from the authorities a minimum of fifteen units of high school work, as follows:
English 4
Mathematics 3 Foreign Language 2
History 1
Electives J
English: Four full years of high school English are required.
Mathematics: Two years of Algebra and one of Plane Geome- try are required. The work in Algebra should include quad- ratics, binomial theorem, and progressions.
Electives: It is recommended that Greek be offered among the electives if the student wishes to pursue the A.B. 1 course in college, and two units in French, German, or Spanish in addition to Latin among the electives for A.B. 2. If Physics,
Zoology, Botany, or Agriculture is offered, a credit of one unit
is given only when the course is accompanied by laboratory 30 DAVIDSON COLLEGE
work, a suitable record of which is kept in a notebook. A credit of one unit in Bible may be allowed, but the course offered by any school is judged on its merit. While a maximum of two units in vocational subjects may be accepted for en- trance to the A.B. courses and three for B.S. courses, they are not considered generally desirable and will be carefully scrut- inized as to content and time given to them. Purely mechanical courses are not accepted.
ADMISSION IN SPECIAL CASES
In the case of a mature man, over twenty years of age, wish- ing to pursue a special course preparatory to entrance to a theological seminary, the Faculty may waive the ordinary en- trance requirements, provided evidence of ability to carry college work in the courses to be pursued is given.
ADVANCED STANDING ON BASIS OF HIGH SCHOOL WORK
To no high school or preparatory school is given the right to enter students by certificate in studies higher than Fresh- man. Candidates for advanced standing on the basis of high school work must pass an examination on such work. This examination is to be taken not later than the day prior to the opening of a student's first term in college.
ADVANCED STANDING FROM OTHER COLLEGES
Certificates of courses successfully pursued at colleges and universities of equal grade with Davidson are accepted at their full value. All transfer students must present a letter of hon- orable dismissal, together with a detailed statement of both high school and college credits to which they are entitled.
MATRICULATION AND REGISTRATION
Freshmen are registered on Monday afternoon and upper classmen are registered Tuesday of the opening week of College. All students are required to report to the Treasurer's office and the Registrar within twenty-four hours after their arrival. New students are classified provisionally, in accordance with certificate previously submitted, examinations taken, and con- sultation with the professors in the respective departments. REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION 31
A thorough physical examination at the opening of the fall term, or immediately on entrance, is required of each student at the hands of the College Physician and the Director of Physical
Education, and must be completed before the student is matricu- lated.
SELECTION OF COLLEGE COURSES
The modern college offers such a wealth of elective courses and subjects that the inexperienced student if often at a loss to decide what course he should pursue, even though he knows, or thinks he knows, what his life work is to be.
Some students have a fairly clear idea of what their work after college days is to be, especially if they are going into one of the professional fields. Those who have not decided on their life work are at some disadvantage, though not seriously so, if they are willing to spend a short time, after they have made their decision, in taking such basic courses as have been left out. Of such students some extra study will be required but they will be so much the better prepared. Davidson College offers four fairly clear-cut courses, any one of which will give a student a good cultural education. We would suggest to students who are undecided about their life's vocation that they select that course which most nearly prepares them for some field toward which they have a leaning. If they change their line of work they can, without serious loss of time, change their preparatory work to suit. We would suggest to such students that the A.B. 1 course is probably the best course to select for general culture, from which, as a basis, almost any line of further study can well "take off."
This is the classical course and it has been the college course of many of the leaders in every vocation in life. More particularly at this time are we concerned with those who have selected their life work and wish, after college gradu- ation, to take advanced work in preparation for their calling. Medical schools especially, and with increasing emphasis all professional schools, are insisting on certain fundamental courses preparatory to professional study. The following suggestions are offered to entering students: CANDIDATES FOR GRADUATE WORK IN UNIVERSITIES The leading universities of our country require detailed information regarding the mentality, industry, and scope and 32 DAVIDSON COLLEGE character of the scholastic record of each applicant before ad- mitting him to the graduate school as a candidate for an advanced degree. While universities differ in minor matters as to their requirements, all are looking only for men prepared to do the quality and quantity of work expected of thoroughly equipped students.
The graduate student is expected to pursue work in one major subject and in one or two minors. The minor is ordina- rily taken in a field closely related to the major subject, or is perhaps a subdivision of the major. While a student may some- times be admitted, who took only twenty-four semester hours of undergraduate work in the subject that is to be his major in the graduate school, most leading universities expect the applicant for admission to have completed 36 to 40 semester hours in his principal subject and related fields. If History, for example, is to be his major in the graduate school, the appli- cant for admission should have completed with high school standing a total of at least 36 to 40 semester hours in History and such related fields as Economics, Political Science, Philos- ophy. If Chemistry is his chosen field for graduate work, the applicant should in like manner have completed at least 36 to 40 semester hours of undergraduate work in Chemistry and related fields such as Physics and Biology.
Candidates for the Master's degree are expected to be able to read French, or German, or both, with facility. Candidates for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy are required to be able to read both German and French, preferably before admis- sion to the graduate school. In the best universities the student
is expected to make extensive use of one or both of these lan- guages. A concession is ordinarily made to applicants not qualified in both of these languages at the time of admission to the graduate school, and qualifying examinations may be taken later under professors of languages in the universities.
In certain fields of study a knowledge of other languages is required. In some cases Spanish may be substituted for Ger- man, for example, when the student is to take his major in the field of American History. A student should select not later than the Junior year in col- lege the university at which he prefers to do his graduate work, should study its requirements, and should round out as effective- ly as possible his preparation for graduate work. .
REQUIREMENTS I OR ADMISSION 33
THE CANDIDATE FOR THE MINISTRY
The Presbyterian Church, through its General Assembly, recommends that candidates for the ministry while in college take courses in the following subjects: English, History, Psy- chology, Philosophy, Greek, Biology or Physics, Economics, Political Science, Sociology, and Education. German is also recommended if the student expects to pursue advanced work in theology. It is of supreme importance that the minister should be able to express himself in clear, correct, and forceful
English. Therefore it is recommended that the student should do an abundance of work in such courses in English as will help him to this end. In general, it is recommended that the student while in college should take a broad cultural course as a foundation for his work in the theological seminary.
THE CANDIDATE FOR MEDICINE
B.S. 1 should be chosen with Chemistry in the Freshman year. Two sciences, one of which should be Chemistry, should be taken in the Sophomore year. In his Junior and Senior years, the student majors in Science. When he has finished, he should have had in Science a minimum of one course in Physics, two in Biology and two courses in Chemistry (general and organic) Some medical schools require Latin, some a reading knowledge of German and French (which calls for the equivalent of two college years in each), and some a reading knowledge of either one. One year in Psychology should be taken and a year in
Philosophy is to be recommended strongly. Such vacancies as remain may be filled by the student according to his discretion. If he knows what medical school he expects to attend he should promptly find out its requirements and arrange to meet them fully.
THE CANDIDATE FOR LAW
The A.B. 1 or the A.B. 2 course is strongly recommended. The student should major in the field of Social Science and take Accounting. He should pay special attention to English, Economics, History, Psychology, Philosophy, Political Science, and Plane Surveying. THE CANDIDATE FOR ENGINEERING Students expecting to enter an engineering school after grad- uation should take either A.B. 2 or B.S. 1, majoring in Mathe- 34 DAVIDSON COLLEGE matics or Physics in either case. Four years of Mathematics, two of Physics, and one of Chemistry, should be taken. It is recom- mended that French or German be taken during the Freshman and Sophomore years, and Spanish during the Junior and Senior Years. The following courses are recommended for the Junior and Senior electives: Political Science 31-32, Economics 21-22, Busi- ness 31-32, History, Applied Mathematics, Geology, Astronomy, Physics.
CHEMISTRY AS A PROFESSION
A student who expects to go into Chemistry as a profession should have considerably more training in the Physical Sciences than is outlined for the minimum major requirements in Chemistry.
Students who complete the following program of studies will have the B.S. degree conferred with the distinction "special Attainments in Chemistry."
During the Junior and Senior years the student must complete Chemistry 41-42, Chemistry 51-52, eight (8) hours from Chemistry 61, 62 and 71, Chemistry 91-92 and Mathematics 31.
The program may be undertaken by rising Juniors who have completed, or who are completing, two years of Chemistry, two years of Mathematics, one year of Physics and whose modern language is French or German. Ordinarily students will not be qualified to enter upon this program until the work of the first two years has been completed.
THE CANDIDATE FOR EDUCATIONAL WORK
The most important thing for any student planning to teach
is mastery of the subject fields in which he wishes to give in- struction. Information in regard to professional requirements for securing teachers' cetificates may be obtained from the office of the Professor of Education.
THE CANDIDATE FOR RELIGIOUS EDUCATION
One of the A.B. courses should be taken. The student should major in the Biblical Department, selecting other courses in Psychology, Philosophy and Education. REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION 3 5
THE CANDIDATE FOR BUSINESS
The B.S. 2 course is recommended. The student in his Sopho- more year should take Economics 21-22, as this course is a prerequisite to all elective courses in Economics and Business
Administration. The B.S. 2 Sophomore is also advised to elect Statistics and Mathematics of Investment. Both are essential tool courses for the prospective business executive. Statistics is a prerequisite for Marketing Principles, and an alternate pre- requisite for two other courses. Students majoring in Economics are required to take Money and Banking in their Junior or Senior years; those concentrating in Business Administration will take Accounting.
The study of English, particularly composition, should not be overlooked, as the ability to write and speak clearly and con- cisely is of great importance to the business man. In addition the student should supplement his major with other courses in the Social and Natural Sciences in order that he may acquire the breadth of training demanded of the business man. Stu- dents who expect to do university graduate work in Economics or Business Administration will find that German, French and Spanish are usually the required languages.
TRAINING FOR CHURCH WORK
Since Davidson is a church college, and since by past experience we know that aside from those of its graduates who enter the ministry a large majority become deeply interested in the Church and its work, we suggest to all who are not going to a theological seminary the wisdom of taking the courses in Church History and Christian Evidences, and Religious Edu- cation. To any layman who desires to be active in church work, these courses will prove most helpful. The student has in these courses an unusual chance to enlarge greatly his useful- ness in Christian service and to become a much wiser leader in the Church. A church member who knows the history of the Church is able to deal with the problems of the Church more intelligently, and one who is familiar with the evidences of Christianity will be in a position to do much more effective Christian work.
The President or any professor is glad of an opportunity to counsel with a student on the subject of his course or life work. 36 DAVIDSON COLLEGE

If Course 11-12 in a foreign language is taken in College, credit will be given for it only when Course 21-22 has been completed, unless it is elected after all catalogue requirements in language have been satisfied. No student, however, will be allowed to receive credit for more than two 11-12 courses in language.
MAJOR AND MINOR REQUIREMENTS
Each candidate for graduation must present from a single department twenty-four hours with twenty-seven quality points, including not more than three semester hours with a grade of D. As a minor he must present twelve hours in courses related to his major. Not to exceed eight hours on the major and six hours on the minor can be transferred, but only from institu- tions that are on the approved list of the Association of Ameri- can Universities.
A student majoring in the Languages must major in one of the languages taken in his Freshman or Sophomore year.
Prior to the April registration each Sophomore shall make formal expression in writing to the Registrar of his choice of a major department. The instructors in each department shall, in conference with the students proposing to major in that department, appoint a faculty counselor for each.
ADDITIONAL GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
No student will be considered as a candidate for graduation at any Commencement unless by the closing day of the spring re-examination period of his Senior year he has removed all con- 40 DAVIDSON COLLEGE
ditions with the exception of those he is at that time seeking to remove by taking the course or courses in question over in class.
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS IN THE USE OF ENGLISH
Students whose oral or written English is at any time unsat- isfactory to one or more professors are regarded as conditioned in the use of English. When a student is thus conditioned he is required to take each test given thereafter by the English Department for such conditioned students until he makes a satisfactory grade. When a student has removed his condition in the use of English, he may be conditioned thereafter as often as his speech or writing becomes unsatisfactory to one or more professors. No student will be graduated from the College until he has removed each and every condition of the kind described in this paragraph.
SELECTION OF COURSES
By April 15th each Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior must, in consultation with the Registrar, select and report the courses he is to take the following session. After this date a fee of $2.50 will be charged for such arrangement of courses. No changes can be made in the list after September 1st except by permission of the Registrar and upon payment of $1.00 for each change.
CREDIT FOR SUMMER WORK
Any student desiring to take summer courses at an institution other than Davidson and to receive credit therefor toward graduation must first have the approval of the professor in whose department he wishes to receive credit.
Such courses must be of college grade taken in a summer school conducted by an institution of equal rank with David- son College, and only such credit will be given as would be allowed toward graduation by the institution conducting the summer school. The student must present from the office of the Registrar of the institution in question a statement of the courses taken and their value toward graduation. REQUIREMENTS 1 OR GRADUATION 41
GROUP HONORS
Group Honors: Those students who do special work in one of the following groups shall be graduated with high honors, or honors in the group of their concentration. Honors students shall in each semester of the Junior and Senior years carry at least six hours but not more than nine hours of regular work besides their special honors work.
Purpose of Group Honors: The purpose of Group Hon- ors is to arouse interest in a higher grade of intellectual achieve- ment; to develop on the part of the student of initiative the power of independent investigation and critical and construc- tive scholarship; to offer to him the opportunity to pursue his chosen study as rapidly as his talents permit, and to deal with the content of a field of learning rather than with courses.
Groups: Subject to the approval of the professors con- cerned, the following groups may be open to students who are candidates for group honors.
Group I: Classics.
Group II: Romance Languages.
Group III: English.
Group IV: Mathematics, Physics, Astronomy.
Group V: Natural Science other than Physics.
Group VI: History, Economics and Business, Political Science.
Group VII: Philosophy, Psychology, Education.
Group VIII: Bible and Religion.
Conditions: It shall be left to the professors in a subject to decide whether honors shall be offered in that subject. Any student who during his Freshman year has averaged B or better and B-j- or better during his Sophomore year up to and in- cluding the mid-semester grades of the second semester, may apply to the Dean of the Faculty for permission to be a candi- date for an honors group course, specifying in detail the special work he wishes to pursue. His application shall be accompanied by the recommendation of the professors of the group in which 42 DAVIDSON COLLEGE
he is to major. In order to continue an honors course, the student must maintain an average of B+ in non-honors classes and must have completed all the work of the first three years before entering upon his Senior year.
In case the professor in any subject decides that a student has not sufficient ground-work in the subject to undertake in his Junior year the work of the honors course, he may be assigned, by the professor in his chosen department, the proper work in the regular courses of his Junior year and begin honors work in that subject in his Senior year. It is understood that he must maintain an average of B-f- in his Junior work to be eligible to take this course.
Supervision: The student who has been admitted to hon- ors courses shall be particularly under the oversight and direc- tion of the professor in charge of the subject in which he does his major work, who, with the professors of the other subjects in the group in which the student is pursuing work, shall have charge of and be responsible for the student's entire program of studies. The professor shall hold frequent conferences with the student and require such written reports or papers as he wills, which reports or papers shall be kept on file for inspection by the professors of the group.
Examinations: The professors of the group shall subject the student to semester examinations of a general type to deter- mine whether he is maintaining an honors standard. During the last month of his Senior year the student must take com- prehensive oral and written examinations on the entire field of his major subject. The oral examination shall be conducted by the professor in charge, assisted by some other professor in the group in which the student's major work lies, or, in case there is no such professor, by the professor in the most closely related subject or by a professor of the same subject in some other institution. The professor in charge and the other professors in the group shall review and grade the work of the student and recommend him for such honors as they find he has earned.
PREPARATION FOR ADVANCED WORK
The man who proposes to give his life to some form of pro- fessional work should in his preparation bear two things in mind. First, that he needs a completed college course and .
REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION 43 degree before he undertakes the work of his professional school.
If he is to enter the ministry, teaching, engineering, medicine, or commercial scientific work, this preparation is practically demanded of him by the seminaries and universities. Second, that his college course should include every subject stated as a prerequisite by the professional or graduate school he is to attend, and as many others as will bear directly on his future studies.
The new student and his parents are urged to seek expert advice in this matter before the College course is begun. The College officials attempt to keep informed of the requirements of the graduate and professional institutions and will gladly give advice.
The medical schools especially are rigid in their requirements of the content of the College course and of high standing in the College work. All technical, literary, and scientific institu- tions of advanced instruction are yearly becoming more exacting in these requirements. See the section on Selection of College
Courses which begins on page 3 1 .

XVII. PHYSICAL EDUCATION
DR. WOODS DIRECTOR SHEPARD
ASSISTANT DIRECTOR WHITTLE
The objective of the Department of Physical Education is four- fold: To enable students to keep themselves physically fit for the demands of college life through exercise and to encourage them to maintain good health during later years through their COURSES OF INSTRUCTION knowledge of personal hygiene; to offer a medium whereby they may enjoy associations and healthful experiences that are of educational value; to develop aptitude in and wholesome atti- tude toward such recreational activities as may be carried over into later life; to instruct prospective teachers in methods of physical training that they may be better equipped for such vocation. Physical examinations, conducted by the College physicians and by the Director of Physical Education are required of all students at the beginning of each fall semester. The vital and sensory organs are carefully examined, bodily defects noted and corrective exercises prescribed if advisable, physical measure- ments taken, typhoid inoculation and smallpox vaccination given in cases requiring such preventive measures, and past diseases recorded; all such data are placed on individual hygiene charts and kept on file for reference. No student whose examination reveals an impairment of any vital organ or whose general phy- sical condition warrants careful supervision is permitted to engage in athletic activities. Physiology and Hygiene Lectures are given by the College physicians to members of the Freshman class; these lectures touch upon the structure of the human anatomy as well as upon the functions of organs and muscles, but chief emphasis is placed upon personal hygiene in order that these students, just entering upon their four years of college life, may learn to know the principles of health. Attendance is required throughout this series of lectures.
Physical exercise is required of all students not excused by the College physicians. Students may satisfy such requirements by engaging in any of the prescribed activities or by participating in intercollegiate, intra-mural, inter-company, or inter-fra- ternity sports.
31-32. Physical Education
This course is designed for the students who anticipate teaching and coaching athletics in high school.

All Freshmen failing to pass as many as three three- hour courses shall be warned and all other students failing to pass three three-hour courses shall be placed on probation until the mid-semester report. Continued failure to pass three such courses may result in the requirement to withdraw at once in the case of upper classmen and, recommendation of withdrawal at the Christmas recess, in the case of Freshmen, unless marked improvement is noted.

Members of the Freshman class who do not pass as many as two of their major courses and who do not have at least a grade of E on one other major course, shall automatically be excluded at the end of the first semester. All Freshmen who fail to pass at least three major subjects at the end of the first semester, if allowed to remain in college, do so on strict proba- tion. A student, above the Freshman class, who does not succeed in making the passing grade in at least three of his major sub- jects during a semester shall not be permitted to remain in college the following semester.
4. A student who fails a second time in a course shall ordi- narily be excluded from college. Under this regulation a student may remain in college, provided he makes an E on the repeated course. If an F grade is made he must pass four major subjects, or earn fifteen quality points on the work of the semester.
5. If a student admitted to advanced classification is found deficient in the course assigned, he may be required to take lower courses in the same department, or to make such arrange- ments of his work as shall appear best. GENERAL REGULATIONS 91

An additional charge will be made of $3.00 per semester hour above sixteen hours per week.
ABSENCES
Students are required to attend classes and college exercises. Detailed rules regarding necessary absences will be found in the
book of rules and regulations which is placed in the hands of every student each year.
ABSENCE OF COLLEGE TEAMS
All college organizations and publications are subject to the supervision and control of the Faculty or its representative committees, and no date or schedule of dates for contests with other organizations shall be arranged except with the consent of the representative committee of the Faculty. The number of days which athletic and other organizations are allowed away
from college is limited by definite regulations. 92 DAVIDSON COLLEGE
No student shall represent the college on any organization away from the college unless he is reported as passing from the beginning of the semester on at least three three-hour courses and no student will be allowed to go with more than one organization during a semester on trips away from the college, unless he is passing at least four three-hour courses on the latest report issued.
The managers must apply to the Dean of Students for permits twenty-four hours before time for the team to depart.
All college organizations in their trips away from college must go and return as a unit. Extension of leave and side trips will not be granted to anyone.
Students other than members or officers of these organiza- tions will not be permitted to make trips with the organi- zations.
ASSIGNMENT OF ROOMS
Assignment of rooms will be made by the Supervisor of Dormi- tories upon written application. This application will be made on a registration card furnished by the Registrar. No room will be reserved for a student until his registration fee of $10.00 has been paid. If a student wishes to retain the same room he is occupying for another year, he must, in addition to paying his registration fee, notify the Supervisor of Dormitories in writing on or before April 15 th of his desire to hold this room. A student of the college who does not deposit his registration fee by April 15 th will be considered as not returning the next session, and ap- plications for entrance after this date will be considered only in case the number to be admitted has not been reached. The assign- ment of rooms to new men will be made in order of application, but no application will be considered until the registration fee has been paid and high school certificate has been received.
The registration fee will be credited as part payment of the fall semester dues, but will not be refunded unless the student's application for admission is declined.
No student is allowed to transfer from one room to another unless the permission of the Supervisor of Dormitories has been received in advance. To prevent needless transfers, a fee of $2.50 will be charged for each transfer after October 1st of upper classmen, and of Freshmen after January 15th. GENERAL REGULATION'S 93
No student can reserve more than his share of a room, but the Supervisor of Dormitories will co-operate in every way possible to see that the students are congenially paired. All rooms are equipped with I. E. S. students' reading lamps. (The college fur- nishes bed, chiffonier, table and chair. The student furnishes his own linens and blankets.) College beds are three feet wide and six feet, four inches long. The Supervisor of Dormitories advises that sheets be at least ninety inches in length. (The college has a few beds six feet, ten inches long.)
The faculty may exclude from the dormitories or from the College immediately any student who engages in practices which might naturally result in damage to the property or person of others. COLLEGE ORGANIZATIONS STUDENT GOVERNMENT
This is one of the most important student organizations in the college. It includes the entire student body. Student govern- ment is administered by the Student Council, which is com- posed of fifteen members: The president of the student .body, the presidents of the four classes, five representatives from the Senior class, three from the Junior class, and two from the Sophomore class. Student government has a detailed and comprehensive constitution, setting forth the purpose for which it is organized and the methods by which it works. This con- stitution is printed in full in the Student Handbook. Stated in general terms its purpose is "to strive to uphold and pre- serve the Honor System and all other provisions of the con- stitution in every department of college life." It has had much to do in creating and maintaining the fine spirit and high ideals which are found on the Davidson College campus.
YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION
The Young Men's Christian Association stands at the very center of the religious life of the college. It has probably had a larger influence in developing students in Christian charac- ter and training them for Christian service than any other single agency in college life. All students are members of the Association. As a department of the Association, the candidates for the ministry hold monthly meetings. There are also weekly Bible study and mission study classes, and weekly meetings of the volunteer mission band. Working under the auspices of the Association the students do various forms of Christian work. Some teach Sunday School classes in organized churches, others conduct Sunday Schools at mission points, while still others go on deputation work to the churches of surrounding towns and cities. At the opening of college each year the Association has committees to meet new students upon their arrival and render them any possible assistance in getting located. During the Orientation period the Association gives a reception to the new students to which all students, professors, and friends are invited. The handbook which the Association publishes annually, giving information about college life and college organizations, is indispensable to all students. COLLEGE ORGANIZATIONS 95
The Presbyterian Church, which is located on a corner of the campus, has ministered to the spiritual needs of the stu- dents of the college for many years. All students are cordially invited and urged to attend the services of the church. The minister is earnestly desirous of being a real pastor to the young men of the college and earnestly invites them to make this their church home while here in college.
Religious services are held in the Chambers auditorium every Sunday evening at seven-thirty. These services are conducted by guest ministers who are believed to have especial gifts for speaking to young men. During each session some of the best known ministers in the whole country are invited to preach at these services and all students are required to attend.
LITERARY SOCIETIES
The Eumenean and Philanthropic Societies, conducted by the students, afford opportunities for training in debate, pub- He speaking, and parliamentary usage. Annual prizes for ex- cellence in literary and rhetorical exercises are awarded.
PHI BETA KAPPA
To the Davidson chapter of this scholarship fraternity are eligible those members of the senior class who have attained a high degree of success in their college work. Not more than twelve and one-half per cent of this class can be elected to the society in any one year.
OMICRON DELTA KAPPA
This is an intercollegiate honorary fraternity which seeks to give recognition for leadership. It honors those who have rendered conspicuous service and opens the way to give inspira- tion for greater usefulness. Its meetings are a clearing house for the exchange of ideas, and bring together on a basis of mutual understanding members of the faculty and leaders of
the student body, thus making it possible to see each other's point of view. It fosters proper relationship and clear under- standing between all phases of college activities, and aspires to direct college sentiment, mold campus opinions, and launch forward movements. 96 DAVIDSON COLLEGE
In addition to Phi Beta Kappa and Omicron Delta Kappa there are some 15 honorary fraternities at Davidson. Two of these, Sigma Pi Sigma in Physics, and Gamma Sigma Epsilon in Chemistry, were founded at Davidson and have become national fraternities.
ATHLETICS AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION
In February, 1940, the Trustees consolidated Athletics, Physical Education, and Student Health Service into one depart- ment to be known as Student Health Service and Physical Education—at the same time the Trustees passed the following resolution: "That the Department of Student Health Service and Physical Education, as thus constituted, be conducted as a regular department of the college in the same general manner in which other departments are conducted." It is the function of this department to look after the health and physical de- velopment of all students and to direct and supervise all forms of athletics.
All students have full athletic privileges, including free admittance to all contests held on the college campus. Under the supervision of the Director of Physical Education, any student may engage in any form of athletics for which the College physician finds him fitted. All students are required to take some form of physical exercise. In the matter of eligibility for participation in athletic contests, the practice of Davidson College is in harmony with the rules of the South- ern Conference. Each athletic team is allowed a limited number of days away from the college for engagements in games with other colleges. Further rules and regulations are published in the book of rules and regulations.
GREEK LETTER FRATERNITIES
There are ten National Greek Letter Fraternities at David- son. Their purposes are largely of a social nature. Fraternities, by agreement among themselves, as well as by a faculty rule, are not allowed to pledge any student until a fixed date after the opening of the college in the fall, or to initiate any student during his first semester in college. Certain rules and regulations governing these and other phases of fraternity life are published in the bulletin of rules and regulations. COLLEGE ORGANIZATIONS 97
SOCIAL ACTTVTTTES
Davidson is noted for its friendly spirit. Conveniently lo- cated in dormitories on the campus each man comes in close touch with many students and is able to form a wide circle of friends. Students are cordially welcomed into the homes of the faculty members. The centrally located Y. M. C. A. rooms are a common meeting place for all students.
The more formal social occasions of the year include the Freshman Reception, week-end parties of the fraternities, and the social features of Commencement Exercises. LECTURES AND PUBLICATIONS
In 1893 Rev. J. M. P. Otts, D.D., LL.D., endowed a foundation at Davidson College, the income of which is to be used in securing distinguished speakers, from time to time, to deliver at the College courses of lectures in defense of Chris- tianity against current heresies, especially such as may seem directed at the foundations of the Christian faith. It was also the desire of the founder that the lectures should be published in book form.
The first course of lectures on this foundation was given in 1893, by Dr. Otts himself, and published under the title, "Un- settled Questions"; the second was given in 1897, by Rev. R. L. Dabney, D.D., LL.D., and published under the title "Christ Our Penal Substitute"; the third was given in 1904, by Rev.
J. B. Shearer, D.D., LL.D., and published under the title, "Modern Mysticism"; the fourth was given in 1921, by Rev. Walter W. Moore, D.D., LL.D., on "The Permanence of the Christian Ideal"; the fifth was given in 193 0, by Rev. Har- ris E. Kirk, D.D., LL.D., on "Man's place in Nature and Be- yond"; the sixth in 1934, by Rev.

Speer on "The Meaning of Jesus Christ in Personal Experience"; the eighth in 1940 by Dr. John R. Mott; the ninth in 1942 by Dr. John A. Mackay on "Heritage and Challenge" and the tenth in 1946 by Dr. Emile Cailliet of Wesleyan University on "The Christian Student."
SPECIAL LECTURES
A number of outstanding speakers are brought to the College each year, under the auspices of the Faculty Committee on Public Lectures. They address the students on subjects which are of special interest in the educational world. Sometimes they deal with questions of national and international im- portance.
FRESHMAN LECTURES
The College has adopted the custom of having what has come to be known as "Orientation Week." For a few days before the opening of the session in the fall the members of the LECTURES AND PUBLICATIONS 99
Freshman class meet frequently in the college chapel and hear practical lectures by different members of the faculty on various phases of college life. Attendance upon these lectures is re- quired.
During the session the College physicians give a series of ten or twelve lectures to the Freshman class on Physiology and Hygiene. These lectures are of a very practical nature ?nd are intended to instruct students in the care of their bodies and in the principles of general health. Attendance is required.
THE DAVIDSON COLLEGE BULLETIN
This is a monthly publication which is sent to the alumni, to ministers, and to others who may desire it. The bulletin con- tains many items of interest about the college and its work.

OTHER EXPENSES
Board. The College conducts a dining-hall but fraternity groups have their own boarding houses and limited facilities are available for non-fraternity men who do not wish to board at
the College.
Books. There is a book store in the Chambers Building, where all textbooks and other departmental requirements are sold to students. Students are expected to pay cash for their books. The cost of books per year for a student ranges from
$2 5.00 to $40.00, depending on the courses the student is tak- ing and on whether he is able to purchase second-hand books.
After the first year many students sell their old books to help pay for new ones. The small profit which the Book Store makes goes to the Societas Fratrum Student Loan Fund.
Clothing, Travel and Incidentals. The cost of clothing, travel and incidentals can best be estimated by the student and his parents. Some students spend much more than others. A student's expenses on the Davidson campus need not be any more than they are at home.
No one need feel that the lack of spending money will bar him from the social or athletic life of the campus or deprive him of influence or popularity. Life at Davidson is essentially democratic.
If a student joins a Greek letter fraternity he will need extra money for that purpose.
ESTIMATED EXPENSES
College officials are frequently asked what it costs a year to send a boy to Davidson. A general estimate of the total neces- 106 DAVIDSON COLLEGE sary living expenses, exclusive of clothes, pocket change, social life, fraternity expense, travel, etc., is here listed: Minimum- Maximum Tuition and maintenance $300.00 $300.00 Room rent and service 100.00 * 100.00 Laboratory fee 6.00 25.00 For student activities 20.00 25.00
Health Service and Physical Education. . . . 20.00 20.00 Laundry 42.50 42.50 Books 25.00 40.00 Board 325.00 3 50.00
Total $838.50 $902.50
*A few rooms are as high as $150.00. ALUMNI ASSOCIATION ANNUAL MEETING

OFFICERS
President—-Dr. John P. Williams, '16, Philadelphia, Pa.
Treasurer—Frank L. Jackson, '06, Davidson, N. C.
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
The Executive Committee of the Alumni Association is made up of all the past presidents of the Association, with the president serving as chairman of the committee. This committee directs the work of the Association. FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
A great many students need some kind of financial assist- ance to secure a college education. There are three general ways in which this assistance may be provided. We suggest that the student who needs assistance should study these ways carefully. We list them in the paragraphs which follow:
SELF HELP
A large number of students are meeting a part of their ex- penses by some form of self-help. The College has a limited number of self-help positions, but they are of such a nature that most of them have to be filled by upper classmen. Quite a number of students in the upper classes are awarded positions as monitors, assistants to professors, assistants in the Library, etc. Such positions are awarded on the grounds of merit, as well as of need. There are a considerable number of self-help positions in boarding houses in town. These positions are awarded by the owners of the boarding houses, and are secured by students in person or through their friends. Others clerk in the students' store, paint signs, or find some other kind of employment for which they have special talents. It is not usually possible for a new student to secure a self-help position before coming to col- lege. Those who are looking for helpers usually want students with experience and those with whom they are acquainted. Not only so, but upper classmen who are on the ground usually secure positions the moment they become vacant. As a matter of fact, it is not wise for a student to undertake outside work if he can possibly avoid it, as it interferes with his college work.
The Y. M. C. A. is always glad to assist students in securing self-help positions.
SCHOLARSHIPS
The College has a number of scholarships in varying amounts which are awarded solely upon the grounds of need and merit.
One's merit is judged by his character, scholarship and attitude. Scholarships are awarded by a faculty committee for only one year at a time. The faculty reserves the right to revoke a scholarship if the work or character of the student is not sat- isfactory, or if he seems to be spending money unwisely. FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE 109
Upon application a reduction of one half of the tuition charge may be made in the College fees to sons of ministers and mission- airies and candidates for the ministry who are under the care of a Presbytery. This is regarded as a scholarship for that amount, and, as a rule, no additional scholarship funds are awarded to students for whom this reduction has been made.
Needy students possessing outstanding qualifications are in- vited to communicate with the President of the College about financial assistance. It is earnestly hoped that only those who are in absolute need will apply.
LOAN FUNDS
The College has a limited revolving loan fund which has been used to assist a great many students in the past. In order that this fund may serve its purpose in helping as many stu- dents as possible it must be kept revolving. That being true, it is essential that those who borrow from this fund should repay their loans as speedily as possible after leaving college. Awards from this fund are made by a faculty committee. "When a student borrows from the fund, he signs his legal note for the amount just as he would do at a bank. The note must also be signed by his father, legal guardian, or some other reliable person. In borrowing from this fund the student agrees to begin payment upon his loan as soon as he graduates or leaves college, and to repay the entire loan at the earliest possible date. Those who borrow from the loan fund should consider their obligations just as binding and just as sacred as if they had borrowed from a bank. Applications for loans should be made to the President of the College in writing.
SOURCES OF LOAN FUNDS
The Student Loan Fund at Davidson has been accumulating
for many years and there have been many contributors to it. The following constitute some of the larger contributions: The
James Sprunt Ministerial Loan Fund, The J. D. Woodside Loan Fund, The Maxwell Memorial Loan Fund, The W. H. Sprunt Loan Fund, The David Prince Loan Fund, The Masonic Loan
Fund, The C. W. Johnston Loan Fund, The J. S. White Loan Fund, and the Societas Fratrum Loan Fund, Hartley E. and
Blanche Boorum, Class of 1932, Scottish Rite, O. J. Thies, Jr., Jane Parks Grey, Bessie N. Allison. 110 DAVIDSON COLLEGE
SOURCE OF SCHOLARSHIP FUNDS
From time to time since the founding of the College to the present, friends have been making contributions for the endow- ment of scholarships. These contributions, large and small, amount now to a gratifying sum. Yet, as the size of the student body has grown and the cost of living increased, the number of worthy students who need financial assistance has greatly in- creased and the amount available is altogether inadequate for the needs. Many friends of the College have recognized col- lege scholarships as the most fitting memorial for some indi- vidual or family. The following scholarships have been estab- lished at Davidson:

RHODES SCHOLARSHIP
Students of Davidson College are eligible for appointment to the Rhodes Scholarship, tenable at the University of Oxford, England. These scholarships may be held for two or three years, and in some cases the third year may be spent at a con- tinental university. There is also ample time during vacations
for study and travel on the Continent. The annual stipend is four hundred pounds (about $2,000). Every year in De- cember in each state an election is held, at which two men are selected to appear before the district committee. Our district comprises the states of Virginia, North Carolina, South Caro- lina, Georgia, Florida and Tennessee. Of the twelve candidates nominated in these states, four are selected as Rhodes Scholars at the regional meeting in Atlanta. From the eight districts of the United States thirty-two men are appointed each year. A student may stand as a candidate either in the state of his legal
residence or in the state in which his college is located. The Rhodes Scholarships are not offered during the present emergency.
The following Davidson men have been awarded Rhodes Scholarships: W. P. Mills (from South Carolina in 1907), B. R. Lacy (North Carolina, 1907), S. T. McCloy (Arkansas,
1919), J. McD. Richards (North Carolina, 1923), R. F. David- son (South Carolina, 1926), D. Rusk (North Carolina, 1930), and Carleton B. Chapman (Alabama, 1936). DEGREES CONFERRED
