AIM
It is the aim of Morris Brown College to provide opportunity for moral, spiritual, and intellectual growth under Christian influences. An attempt is made to meet the needs of the indi¬ vidual student, and to stimulate and develop his interests, by the maintenance of an environment in which the highest spirit¬ ual and intellectual ideals prevail. That cultural development which shows itself in socially efficient manhood and woman¬ hood is the goal of endeavor at the college. Accordingly, an effort is made to combine cultural education with practical vo¬ cational and prevocational training in the preparation of min¬ isters, and elementary and secondary school teachers; also, the pre-professional training for medicine, law, social work, and other professions. HISTORICAL STATEMENT
Morris Brown College was founded under the patronage of the African Methodist Episcopal Church in 1881. In that year a resolution was passed at the North Georgia Annua] Confer¬ ence, assembled in Bethel A. M. E. Church, Atlanta, Georgia, to erect an institution of learning in Atlanta, Georgia, for the Christian education of Negro boys and girls. The Georgia An¬ nual Conference which convened at Savannah was requested to cooperate in the establishment of the college.
The following persons, representing the North Georgia and the Georgia Annual Conferences, constituted the original board of trustees: Bishop W. F. Dickerson, D.D., Revs. W. J. Gaines, A. W. Lowe, J. A. Wood, Peter McClain, Richard Graham, Andrew Brown, R. A. Hall, A. Gonickey, J. B. Warner, D. J. McGhee, W. H. Harris, A. J. Miller, W. P. Holmes, C. L. Bradwell, S. H. Robertson, G. W. Williams, J. W. Wynn, Henry Strickland, William Raven, William D. Johnson, W. C. Gaines, W. H. Powell, and James Porter. At the meeting of this Board of Trustees, assembled in Bethel Church, February 1, 1881, a site, located at the corner of Hous- Morris Brown College 13 ton Street and North Boulevard, was selected and later pur¬ chased. In May, 1885, a charter was granted. In October of the same year, the institution was opened under the principal- ship of Mrs. Mary McCree. The first class was graduated in 1890. In 1894, the Liberal Arts College was organized under the presidency of Prof. A. S. Richardson. The school of relig¬ ion, Turner Theological Seminary, was formerly opened in 1894, with the Rev. E. L. Chew as Dean. In September, 1932, several changes, vitally affecting the life of the institution, were made. Prominent among these were (1) the abolition of the Preparatory School; (2) the merging of the Williams Business College with Morris Brown College; (3) the changing of sites from the corner of Boulevard and Houston Street to West Hunter and Tatnall Streets, the old site of At¬ lanta University. CONTROL
Morris Brown College is governed by a Board of Trustees. In the interim of meetings of this Board, authority is vested in an Executive Committee of the Board which exercises imme¬ diate control of the institution.
Authority in academic matters is vested in the faculty which administers that part of the work dealing with academic regu¬ lations, problems of discipline, and other phases of the work of a college. General Information ADVANTAGES OF LOCATION Situated in the City of Atlanta, Morris Brown College enjoys many advantages that contribute to the development of an edu¬ cational institution. A healthful climate is insured by an ele¬ vation of more than one thousand feet above sea level. The Gate City of the South and the largest city of the Southeast, Atlanta becomes the center of a large constituency.
Atlanta is a city of colleges and universities. Seven institu¬ tions of higher learning for Negroes are located here. 14 Annual Catalogue
COOPERATIVE ARRANGEMENT WITH ATLANTA UNIVERSITY AND OTHER COLLEGES
A cooperative relationship has developed among the colleges, the three most significant illustrations of which are:
1. The general use of the library given to Atlanta University by the General Education Board. 2. The exchange of students and teachers. 3. The cooperation of all the colleges with Atlanta Univer¬ sity in the summer school. LIBRARY FACILITIES
The Atlanta University Library, a gift of the General Edu¬ cation Board, is intended to serve the five Negro Colleges in Atlanta. Accordingly, the faculty and students of Morris Brown College find opportunity for research and professional study.
The College maintains, on the campus, library facilities for general reading and study. LABORATORIES
Laboratory facilities are provided for study of Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Home Economics, and Practice Teaching. PHYSICAL EDUCATION
The health and physical development of the students are ob¬ jects of constant care. All forms of out-door exercises are en¬ couraged. All athletics are under the supervision of the faculty committee on athletics.
NEEDS
The College is growing but, to meet standard requirements, many improvements are constantly required. Chief among its needs are a hospital, more adequate scientific equipment, schol¬ arships to aid promising pupils, a gymnasium, teachers’ homes, a building for the Divinity School, and an adequate endowment.

STUDENT LIFE AND ORGANIZATIONS
Although established and maintained principally by the A. M. E. Church, Morris Brown College is in no sense secta¬ rian and makes no denominational requirements of either its students or faculty. Still, in accordance with the ideals and purposes of its founders, it seeks to be positively Christian in spirit and policy. Religious Organizations
A regular church organization is maintained on the campus for the students and faculty. A daily chapel is also arranged so as to include the day-students. These services are designed to minister to the moral and religious needs of college young people and members of the faculty. Attendance upon the daily chapel service and the Sunday morning service is compulsory.
The Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A., as well as other local relig¬ ious organizations for young people, are recognized and are promoted by the students. Public Lectures
During the year open lectures on literary and scientific subjects will be delivered without charge to the public. These lectures serve to broaden the ideals of the students, draw their attention to topics of general interest, and give the friends of the institution an opportunity to share to some extent in its intellectual life.
Fraternities, Sororities, and Clubs
All fraternities and sororities are under faculty supervision. Accordingly, the organization of new fraternities and sorori¬ ties, as well as the maintenance of those previously admitted to the campus, must have the sanction of the faculty committee on fraternities and sororities. The Zeta Chapter of Phi Beta Sigma, the Alpha Sigma Chap¬ ter of Omega Psi Phi, the Beta Delta Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi, and the Iota Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha fraternities are Morris Brown College 17 maintained on the campus.

The Honor Society, Kappa Phi Delta, is an organization fostering high ideals in scholarship and character. Upon recommendation of the Dean and Registrar, members are elected to this society by the faculty. These elections are held each spring and fall.
The Home Economics Club is intended as a kind of “clear¬ ing house ’ in the consideration of problems in home economics.
The Music Study Club sponsors musical programs and encourages the study of music and poetry. The Pre-service Teachers Club is designed for a study of problems in the field of education.
The History Club aims to develop an appreciation for historical events and research. 18 Annual Catalogue

Administration of the Curriculum ADMISSION OF STUDENTS
Application for Admission
Application for admission to the College must be made on a special form provided by the college. Applicants may secure this form by writing to the Registrar. All applications for admission should be filed in the office of the registrar by appli¬ cants in advance of the expected date of entrance. In accepting applications, special consideration and pref¬ erence will be given to those with the best records as to scholar¬ ship, ability, character, earnestness of purpose, and health. Applicants accepted are required to undergo a physical exam¬ ination given by the college physician. Admission
Students are admitted, without examination, as candidates for a diploma or a degree or as part-time students upon presen¬ tation of a certificate of graduation or a transcript of record which shows a minimum of fifteen units of standard work cor¬ responding in quality and quantity to those prescribed by the college from an accredited high school.
Applicants who are graduates of unaccredited high schools are required to submit a certificate of graduation or a tran¬ script of record which shows a minimum of fifteen units of standard work corresponding in quality and quantity to those prescribed by the college and, in addition, will be required to pass an entrance examination in the standard high school sub¬ jects given by the college. Morris Brown College 23
Subjects Required for Admission
In order to qualify for admission, all applicants must offer a minimum of 15 units of entrance credit in acceptable sub¬ jects. The entrance unit is briefly defined as a standard year’s work in a preparatory subject.
Of the 15 units, at least 9 should be in standard preparatory subjects such as English, History, Foreign Language, Mathe¬ matics and Science. The remaining 6 units may be in elective courses properly organized such as Arts, Vocational Subjects, Music and Physical Education. The 15 units should include the following specific subjects:
English 3 units Mathematics 2 units Foreign Language 2 units History 1 unit Science 1 unit Electives 6 units
Admission with Conditions
It will be noted that a netv and increased emphasis is placed upon the quality of the record rather than upon the completion of certain specific subject requirements. To meet these and other similar situations, the college provides a conditioned ad¬ mission that may be granted to applicants who are graduates of accredited high schools whose records show deficiency in prescribed entrance units, provided that the deficiency does not exceed two units. This deficiency may be removed by the applicant during the first year of matriculation.
Admission to Advanced Standing
Students transferring from other colleges must comply with all of the regulations governing admission and registra¬ tion. Each applicant must submit to the Office of the Registrar a transcript of the work already completed both in high school and college. Records of students transferring from accredited higher institutions will be assigned full credit, provided the work is acceptable towards fullfilling requirements for grad- 24 Annual Catalogue uation from this institution. Credits accepted will not exceed 96 semester hours of work. Credit assigned for the work presented by students trans¬ ferring from unaccredited higher institutions will depend upon the quality of the student’s scholastic performance at Morris Brown.
Admission As Part-Time Students
Students pursuing a program that does not exceed 11 hours per semester are classified as part-time students. Evening courses, designed to meet the needs of students desiring this classification and to further their study toward graduation, are offered in accordance with the regulations governing regular students. The work is done in residence and receives the same credit as all other work of the college. ACADEMIC REGULATIONS

The system in use is based on the letters, A, B, C, D, E, F. The significance of these letters is as follows:
Grade Scholastic Value Grade Point Value
. . A . . Excellent . . . . 3
B . . . . Good . . . . 2
C . . . . Fair . . . . . 1
D . . . . Passed . . . . 0
E . . . . Conditioned . . . . . 0
F . . . . Failure . . . . —1
I . . . . Incomplete
Wd. . Withdrawn
A student whose grade for a course is reported at the close of a semester as “E” or “Inc.” may obtain credit for the course 26 Annual Catalogue only if the work is satisfactorily adjusted before the beginning of the corresponding semester of the following year; thereafter credit may be obtained only by repetition in class.
The grade “Wd.” is given when a student withdraws from the course officially.
No credit will be granted in major or minor courses for grades below “C”. Probationers
Any regular student who fails to pass in at least nine semes¬ ter hours during a current semester automatically excludes him¬ self from the institution for the succeeding semester.
The faculty has provided a “probation” plan for students whose quality of work falls dangerously low. According to this rule, any student whose cumulative grade points for the pre¬ ceding semester are less than nine shall be placed on academic probation. A student on probation is expected to attend all classes regularly and to discharge all scholastic duties with complete promptness.
A student on probation or otherwise deficient in scholarship shall be denied the privilege of representing the school in any public exercise or athletic contest.
Reports
Reports to Parents. Reports are sent at the end of each se¬ mester. Special reports are made concerning students whose work is below average.
Reports to Students. Students receive reports on the quality of their work for each nine-week period and at the end of the semester. Students whose work during a period proves to be of inferior grade are referred to the Dean’s Office.
EXAMINATIONS
Entrance. All examinations for admission are scheduled for the Wednesday preceding the opening day of a semester. Morris Brown College 27
Conditional. Conditional examinations are held during the sixth week of each semester. All conditions must be removed a! the designated time; if not, they automatically become fail¬ ures. Only one semester may elapse, in case the student fails to re-enroll the semester immediately succeeding the incurrence of the condition.
Regular. Regular examinations are held at the end of each semester, or at the close of a course. Consent to close a course must come from the Office of the Dean.
No student shall be exempted from these eaxminations which cover the whole range of the work included in the course dur¬ ing the semester.
Mid-semester. At the end of each nine-week period, tests are given in all classes. An average of this period is made out, which average gives the student definite information as to the quality of the work he is doing.
ATTENDANCE AND WITHDRAWALS
Students are required to attend all classes and chapel exer¬ cises regularly and promptly. The number of absences from a class must not exceed the number of credit hours that this class offers. Absence from courses without due excuse results inevitably in the lowering of the student’s standing. Instructors are authorized to require students to make up work lost through absence, whether the absence be excused or unexcused.
A student is not permitted to withdraw from a course without the consent of the Dean. Any student who drops a course with¬ out the consent of the Dean will receive a failure in that course. If the student is failing in a class from which the Dean with¬ draws him, he shall be charged with that failure. A student passing at time of such withdrawal shall not be charged with a failure. Students may drop a course during the first two weeks after enrollment upon consent of the Dean. Thereafter a fee of $1.00 will be charged for these changes. 28 Annual Catalogue

Sophomores—minimum, twelve hours; normal, sixteen hours; maximum, eighteen hours. Juniors and Seniors — minimum, twelve, normal, sixteen hours; maximum, eighteen hours. In no case will the student be permitted to carry the maximum number of hours whose previous work has not been of A or B average. ADVISORY SYSTEM
In an effort to meet the individual needs of students, the college provides an advisory system which is intended for the guidance of each student in the planning of his program of education. To further insure such guidance as may be needed, the program of the college has been made as flexible and varied as possible. Toward the close of the semester each student is expected to plan his program for the following semester under the guid¬ ance of his adviser. The adviser is usually selected by the student, and continues the service throughout the freshman and sophomore years. Beginning with the junior or third year of the student’s program, the major professor will serve as the adviser.

The Lower Division embraces all work of the first two years, which is designed to give the student a broad acquaintance with those fields of human interest which influ¬ ence present-day living. This division serves the two-fold func¬ tion (1) of preparing the student for active participation in society as a citizen and (2) of furnishing the necessary back¬ ground for vocational specialization in accordance with his interests, needs and aptitudes. The Upper Division furnishes opportunity for (1) special¬ ization in certain fields of knowledge important in the pre- service preparation for vocations and (2) for the development of techniques in certain professional fields. In the liberal arts course, one may specialize in one of the broader academic fields as a basis for later professional training for the ministry, social work, medicine, business and other professions. A special curriculum has been developed for the prepara¬ tion of teachers in elementary and secondary schools. This curriculum is planned with a view to meeting the need for teachers who can lead in the development of individuals and in community improvement. It emphasizes (1) broad under¬ standing of community and group life, its needs, resources and possibilities and (2) an understanding of the nature and needs of the child and, finally, skills in organizing learning materials and experiences for children at various levels.
DEPARTMENTS AND DIVISIONS
The course offerings are grouped under Departments, which are further organized into Divisions as follows: I. Education and Psychology Elementary Education Secondary Education Physical Education Psychology Morris Brown College 35 II. Language, Literature and Art Art German English Classical Languages French Music III. Philosophy and Religion Philosophy Religious Education IV. Science and Mathematics Biology Physics Chemistry Mathematics V. Social Studies Economics Home Economics History and Government Sociology Commercial Studies
FIELDS OF CONCENTRATION
By the beginning of the Junior year, each student who has attained a general average of “C” or a scholastic index of 1.00, must select two related departments in which to complete a subject major of 24 hours minimum and a subject minor of 16 hours minimum.
A certain amount of the student’s concentration is prescribed. Credit toward a major or a minor will not be given for courses in which a grade less than “C” is earned. Major or minor courses may be pursued in the following departments: Education Foreign Language Home Economics English Biology Social Science Chemistry Economics Philosophy and Religion Music* Mathematics Physics* Physical Education* With the view to meeting the interests and further needs of the student, each one is required to select a minimum of 24 hours of free electives. This is further intended to eliminate undue specialization on the undergraduate level.
Only a minor is given. 36 Annual Cataloguk COURSES OF INSTRUCTION
Course Numbering
The curriculum of the Lower Division presents basal re¬ quired courses, numbered from 100 to 299. The Upper Divi¬ sion builds upon the work of the first two years, and includes courses numbered from 300 to 499. The initial digit of the numbers assigned to the courses indicates the year in which it is most desirable that the course be taken. Thus courses with numbers between 100 and 199 should be taken the first year; between 200 and 299, the second year; between 300 and 399, the third year ; and between 400 and 499, the fourth year. Courses with single numbers are semester courses. Those with odd numbers are, as a rule, given the first semester; courses with even numbers, the second semester. Courses with hyphenated numbers (e.g., 101-102) are year courses which will count toward graduation only upon the completion of the whole year’s work. Courses with double numbers (e.g., 101, 102) are year courses which are so organized that either semester may count toward graduation without completing the whole year’s work. The statement regarding hours at the end of the description of a course indicates the number of semester hours of credit granted upon completion of each semester of work in the course. Division I EDUCATION
Elementary and Secondary Education. Physical Education and Psychology TEACHER EDUCATION
Elementary and Secondary Education The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education attempts to provide a program that will meet the needs and interests of southern communities. Because these communities are largely rural, much consideration is given to the prepara¬ tion of teachers for rural areas, as well as for small towns and Morris Brown College 37
urban communities. While it is assumed that the nature of the child of certain ages is the same and that certain skills, atti¬ tudes, and appreciations are desirable as a common possession of all children, still it is important to understand, appreciate, and make use of enivronmental differences if the child’s edu¬ cation is to become functional. The teacher-education program provides for service in urban and rural schools and commu¬ nities. The are courses classified and known as general and special, that is, (1) courses that provide preparation pre¬ requisite to all teaching and (2) courses intended for teaching pupils on elementary or secondary levels. Careful guidance is given to students who desire a major or a minor in elemen¬ tary or secondary education.
In order to qualify for a Professional Georgia State Teach¬ ers’ Certificate, both elementary and secondary teachers are required to take the following professional courses:
Introduction to Education (Ed. 202) Educational Psychology (Ed. 304) School and Society (Ed. 303) Curriculum Development (Ed. 407)
Elementary teachers must present a minimum of 9 semester hours from the following: Child Development (Ed. 421) Materials and Methods of Elementary Education (Ed. 406) Directed Observation (Ed. 405) Directed Teaching (Ed. 408) Reading Materials and Methods (324)
High School teachers must present a minimum of 9 semester hours from the following:
High school methods and materials (Ed. 409) Directed Observation (Ed. 405) Directed Teaching (Ed. 406) Educational and Vocational Guidance (Ed. 410) Adolescent Psychology (Ed. 305)
Students who desire to qualify for certification in states where these requirements are not adequate should consult the advisers in education. 38 Annual Catalogue

Integration Courses Elementary Elementary Education Integration courses include a study of the various phases of urban and rural life and education which are significant to the pre-service teacher. Such integra¬ tion of subject matter involves coordination of certain college courses and the educational resources of the state. The devel¬ opment of this plan tends to cause the departmental lines of the college to give way to the larger aims of education: 1. Development of personality of the student. 2. An understanding of the function of education, the function of the rural school, its importance in the life of the community, and in the promotion of social welfare for both children and adults through an enriched curriculum. Morris Brown College 39
3. An understanding of the child, his interests, and his needs in terms of the realization of this function. The development of the plan involves the cooperative effort of faculty and students in adapting materials to the interests and needs of rural children and adults; a graded scheme of initiation in teaching through courses in observation and prac¬ tice in rural schools; experience in making rural surveys, com¬ munity programs, and participation in rural activities.

English and Public Speaking 82 Annual Catalogue HISTORY In the establishment of Morris Brown College, the fathers saw that to educate the pew and leave the pulpit ignorant would be detrimental to the church and the race, therefore, they proposed to have an educated ministry. As early as 1885, September 23, just before the doors of Morris Brown were opened for the reception of students, Rev. T. G. Stewart, D.D., was elected Dean of Theology. Two years passed before any action was taken, and at the Trustee meeting, June 8, 1887, Rev. J. A. Woods moved the appointment of a committee of five to arrange plans to estab¬ lish a Theological Department. This was sent to the Executive Board, with power to act, and it slept for four years, until 1891, when in the Trustee Meeting, Rev. W. 0. P. Sherman moved to erect a chapel and Theological Institute. This failed upon its passage, but a motion by Rev. L. Thomas passed that the south wing be erected, and that it be used as a chapel and Theological Institute. There the matter rested two more years. At the Trustee Meeting, 1893, Bishop Grant suggested that a President of the College be elected, and he should be Dean of Theology, and lessons be given at night. This was referred to a special committee, and here, for that year it found its burial place. But October 2, 1894, the following year, that which had been for nine years the subject of thought and agitation bloomed forth into the formal opening of a Theolog¬ ical Department, with an able address by that invincible pre¬ late who knew no failure, Bishop H. M. Turner, D.D., LLD. Rev. E. L. Chew was elected Dean, but did not serve. Dr. E. W. Lee was chosen, and became the first active Dean. Twelve young men matriculated the first day and in three months twenty-four had enrolled. In 1895, May 28th, Rev. E. W. Lee, D.D., was again elected Dean, and more was accomplished this year than previously. The President’s report for this year read: “In the Theolog¬ ical Department much has been accomplished through the Morris Brown College 83 labors of Rev. E. W. Lee, Dean. He has kept a class of young men busy searching the Scriptures for the hidden pearls and precious gems therein contained, and much good is the out¬ come.” December, 1895, the Executive Board elected Rev. J. S. Flipper, D.D., Dean, and Rev. W. G. Alexander, Professor of Historical Theology. Rev. J. S. Flipper, D.D., did not serve, and Dr. W. G. Alexander was made Dean for this year. In 1896, Rev. E. W. Lee, D.D., was again elected Dean, and served a portion of the year. He was transferred to the Macon Conference, and Dr. W. G. Alexander filled the term until the close of the school in May. August 4, 1896, the Executive Board again elected Rev. J. S. Flipper, D.D.. Dean, and Rev. W. G. Alexander, D.D., Professor of Historical Theology. Rev. J. S. Flipper resigned, and at the Executive Board November 25, 1896, Bishop H. M. Turner, D.D., announced that he ap¬ pointed Rev. M. M. Ponton, S.T.B., Dean, who served until June, 1903. From 1898 to 1899, Rev. J. D. Bibb, A.M., was professor of Historical Theology and Hebrew. In 1889, Rev. J. A. Brockett, D.D., taught Rhetoric and Elocution, and afterward became professor of Historical and Practical Theology, which position he held until 1903. June 19, 1900, the Executive Board, by unanimous vote changed the name from the Theological Department of Morris Brown University to Turner Theological Seminary, in honor of the Senior Bishop. June, 1903, a Special Committee appointed by the Trustee Board to elect professors and teachers, elected Rev. J. A. Lindsey, D.D., Dean, and Rev. J. S. Flipper, D.D., Professor of Theology. Before the opening of the Department, September 15, 1903, Rev. J. A. Lindsey, D.D., resigned and Rev. J. S. Flipper was appointed Dean. 84 Annual Catalogue June, 1904, Rev. J. S. Flipper was elected President of Morris Brown College, and Rev. W. G. Alexander, D.D., was made Dean, Turner Theological Seminary, and Rev. P. G. Simmons, D.D., Professor of Historical Theology. During the year, the executive Board elected Rev. J. D. Bibbs, A.M., Professor of Exegetical Theology and Hebrew, but his health soon failed and he was compelled to give up his position, and Rev. William Byrd, B.D., was elected to fill said professorship. June, 1904, Rev. W. G. Alexander, D.D., was elected Dean and served until June, 1908. at which time Rev. W. G. Alex¬ ander, D.D., was again elected, having associated with him as Professors, Revs. William Byrd. D D., and C. W. Man¬ ning, D.D. June, 1913, Rev. P. W. Greatheart, D.D., was elected Dean, and Rev. D. R. Fobbs, D.D., Professor of Historical and Prac¬ tical Theology. In 1914, Rev. D. H. Sims. A.M., D.D., was elected to the chair of Greek and Hebrew. In 1917, Rev. J. H. Lewis was elected to the chair of Greek and Hebrew. In July, 1920, Rev. J. A. Lindsay, D.D., was elected Dean and served two years. In 1922, Dr. W. G. Alexander was elected Dean. In 1928, the Rev. George A. Singleton was elected Dean. In 1929, the Reverend Samuel Hopkins Giles was elected Dean. In 1933, the Reverend Charles Leander Hill was elected Dean. THE SEMINARY AND THE CHURCH Turner Theological Seminary is one of the recognized in¬ stitutions of this country. It is conducted under the auspices of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. It is positively and constructively Methodist. All the members of its faculty heartily accept the theology of the historic Methodist Church as expressed in its confessional literature and are prepared to teach it in its fullness. The specific aim of the school is to train faithful and competent ministers of the word of God, who shall be able to proclaim and uphold the evangelical faith with effectiveness and spiritual power. Morris Brown College 85 Although the teaching is explicitly Methodist Episcopal, candidates from other Christian churches are cordially wel¬ comed, and all possible encouragement is given them in pre¬ paring themselves for their ministerial work in the churches of their choice. STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS AND ACTIVITIES The students of the school engage in various activities which promote their social and spiritual life. The student body is organized with a President, a Secretary, and a Treasurer. From this organization various committees are formed to co-operate with the faculty in projects for the advancement of the Seminary. These are: 1. Committee on Social Activities, whose function is to con¬ fer with the faculty in regard to social activities such as group and fellowship dinner, etc. 2. Committee on Devotions, whose function is to confer with the faculty concerning arrangements for guest speakers, chapel exercises, etc. 3. Other committees may be formed as exigencies may de¬ mand.
