General Information

HISTORICAL NOTES

The Ministers of the African Methodist Episcopal Church of the State of Georgia, fully realizing the necessity of an institution for the preparation of young men and women for every department of Christian work, and also cognizant of the importance of an indus¬ trial training school for both sexes, resolved upon the establishment of a school to be known as Morris Brown College. On the 5th day of January, 1881, the North Georgia Annual Con¬ ference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church assembled in Bethel A. M. E. Church, on what was then known as "Wheat Street, but now Auburn Ave., Atlanta, Ga., and in their deliberations, decided to no longer postpone the building of a higher institution of learning for Negro boys and girls. At this Conference Rev. W. J. Gaines offered a resolution that such an institution be established in the Gate City of Georgia. The Georgia Conference convening in Savannah, Ga., the 19th inst., was asked to co-operate in this noble enterprise. The original board of trustees of the two conferences was com¬ posed of the following: 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. (Georgia Conference): Revs. E. P. Holmes, C. L. Bradley, S. H. Robertson, G. W. Williams, J. W. Wynn, Henry Strickland, William Raven, William D. Johnson, W. C. Gaines, W. H. Powell, James Porter. February 1, 1881, the trustee board assembled in Bethel A. M. E. Church, Atlanta, Ga. They purchased the present site at the corner of Boulevard and Houston Streets and named it Morris Brown Col¬ lege as a tribute to the memory of Bishop Morris Brown. In 1884 the foundation of the north wing (Gaines Hall) of the College was laid, the same being completed and dedicated on the 24th day of November, 1885. October 15, 1885, the College was opened for the reception of stu¬ dents under the Principalship of Mrs. Mary McCree. The first class was graduated in 1890. Since then hundreds of men and women have received diplomas of the College and have served the state, the coun¬ try and the church with honor to themseles and their Alma Mater. In 1913 Morris Brown College was changed to Morris Brown Uni- 8 MORRIS BROWN UNIVERSITY CATALOGUE

versity, consisting of Morris Brown College, Atlanta, Ga., Turner Theological Seminary, Atlanta, Ga., Payne College, Cuthbert, Ga., Central Park Normal and Industrial Institute, Savannah, Ga., and the property at Macon, Ga.

SITUATION AND MEANS OF ACCESS Morris Brown University is situated in the eastern part of Atlanta at the corner of Boulevard and Houston Streets. It is accessible by three different lines of street railway leading from the center of the city and the Terminal Station.

GROUNDS AND BUILDINGS

The University property embraces about four and a half acres and several excellent buildings of architectural beauty. They contain many modern improvements. Placed on very high grounds, it pre¬ sents a most attractive picture. The Turner Hall, or Central Building, contains the Administration Offices, College Department, Study Hall, the University Chapel, Dining Room and Model Hall. The north wing, or Gaines, contains the University Parlor, the Laundry, College Library, Music Rooms and Girls’ dormitories. The south wing, or Grant Hall, has the Scientific Department and Commercial Department. Flipper Hall, located on the Campus, is a newly erected beautiful five-story brick building with modern dormitories equipments, young- men’s parlor, boys’ assembly hall, and tailor shop. The Seminary Building is a two-story brick building, located on the lower south end of the campus. It contains recitation rooms and the Theological Library. The Wiley Training School is a two-story frame building, on the lower central part of the campus.

AIM The aim of Morris Brown University is to train individuals, in¬ dustrially, intellectually and morally. It emphasizes the fact that character and service are the chief ends of all education. This ideal governs all our efforts.

GOVERNMENT

The government of the school unites strict discipline with kind and humane treatment. A manly bearing, courteous deportment toward each other, application to study during hours, good preparation and recitation of lessons are required of all students. MORRIS BROWN UNIVERSITY CATALOGUE 9

Applicants for admission must bring satisfactory testimonials of character. Any student who visits a place where intoxicating liquors are sold or brings it into the institution, or appears under its influ¬ ence, is subject to expulsion. All who are not willing to submit to the rules and regulations of the University will not be retained.

PUBLIC LECTURES

During the year a series of lectures on literary and scientific sub¬ jects, open without charge to the public, will be delivered before the students, who attend in a body. These lectures serve to broaden the ideals of the students, draw their attention to topics of general in¬ terest, and give the friends of the institution an opportunity to share to some extent in its intellectual life.

RHETORICALS

Public rhetorical exercises are held six times during the scholastic >ear in the months of November, December, January, February, March and April, on the third Friday evening. They include ora¬ tions, essays, recitations, instrumental and vocal music. To these exercises the public is invited.

COLLEGE LIBRARIES The College Library contains about 8,000 volumes, to which the students have access. In all departments of instruction, the profes¬ sors are directed to call the attention of their pupils to the best work of the library bearing on the subjects taught, and require evidences of individual reading and research. We need many more books, and earnestly desire that the friends of education will aid us in this direction. The Theological Library contains nearly 2,000 volumes, including some very valuable collections. The present plan is to add many more volumes of standard reference works and pamphlets, thus making it an excellent Theological Library. All students have full access to the Carnegie Library, which is just a few blocks from the campus.

DEGREES

Degrees are conferred upon graduates of the regular College Courses. The Classical Theological Course leads to the degree of Bachelor of Divinity.

ADMISSION For admission to the boarding department, applicants must be over 15 years of age. 10 MORRIS BROWN UNIVERSITY CATALOGUE

In addition to this, all applicants for admission to the college must pass an examination in the fundamentals.

All new students are required to pass a physical and medical ex¬ amination or present a health certificate. Application for admission should be made at least two months be¬ fore the beginning of the school year. Blanks are furnished on re¬ quest. Students from other schools must present a statement of honorable dismissal from the school last attended. No new students should come without first corresponding with the President. An application fee of $5.00 should accompany the application. If the applicant is rejected, the fee will be returned; if not, it will be applied to the first month’s expenses.

EXPENSES

Students from out of town are required to board in the University dormitory unless excused by the President. All Seniors are required to board in the University dormitory the entire year. Payment is due by the month in advance. Pay day is the tenth (10th) of each month. Entrance at any date after September tenth (10th) is regarded as September tenth (10th).

No student is permitted to take the semester examinations until his bills for that semester are settled.

The payment of the Athletic Fee of $5.00 entitles one to a season ticket of admission to all home games of the school except Thanks¬ giving game. All members of the graduating class are required to have all bills paid before May 1st. The Medical Fee of $2.00 entitles a student to medicine for ordi¬ nary cases of illness. But cases of illness where the doctor is called and prescriptions are given, the expense is borne by the student. All boarding students are required to furnish two blankets, two sheets, two pillow-cases, their own toilet soap, brushes, and provide for the laundering of their own clothes. They should also bring rugs for the floor or any drapery they may desire to add to theii comfort and appearance of their room. Girls can do their own laundering in the College Laundry. Board bills are due and must be paid in advance on the tenth of each month. Each boarding student will be required to do an hour’s manual labor each day. This helps to reduce the expenses to the above amount. In all cases, parents or guardians should send their money order to the President of the University. PHYSICAL CULTURE AND RECREATION The health and physical development of the student are objects of constant care. All forms of outdoor exercises are encouraged. We need a furnished gymnasium. During the winter months lit¬ erary and musical entertainments and lectures relieve the monotony 12 MORRIS BROWN UNIVERSITY CATALOGUE of the season. A physician of eminent professional standing visits the University regularly, and may be consulted at any time by the students who need advice regarding the forms of exercise best suited to develop their physical powers and benefit their health.

NEEDS The College is growing prosperous, but to keep abreast of the standing, many improvements are constantly required. Greater suc¬ cess could be easily attained if the institution were adequately en¬ dowed. Chief among its needs may be mentioned a hospital and library buildings, more elaborate scientific apparatus, and more ex¬ tensive geological and historical collections. We need scholarships to aid promising pupils, a girls’ dormitory, a gymnasium, and a president’s cottage.

General Regulations 1. The President and Faculty reserve the right to decide on the character of all work and actions of students. 2. Reports of the conduct and scholarship of students are sent to parents or guardians. 3. Any student who fails to meet academic requirements or who is disobedient or disorderly shall be subject to dismissal. 4. Students are held responsible for all damages done by them to the property of the college. 5. Keeping or using firearms is strictly forbidden. 6.

All requests for students to come home or withdraw from the institution must be made to the President. Parents are requested not to allow themselves to be alarmed by false or unwarranted re¬ ports of illness of their children. The President will give prompt information whenever it may be necessary. The student may be de¬ nied the privileges of the University and forfeit his connection upon the commission of any overt act. Deficient scholarship and negli¬ gent attendance on prescribed exercises shall always be sufficient cause for requiring students to withdraw from the University. 9. All boarding students are required to attend religious exercises. 10. Rooms must be accessible at all times to members of the Faculty. Students are not permitted to invite guests to their rooms or any part of the college premises without permission. MORRIS BROWN UNIVERSITY CATALOGUE 13

It is under the direct supervision of the English Department. The Gaines’ Literary Society was organized in 1888. Its influence upon the social and literary training of the young men is held high in esteem both by the young men and members of the Faculty. It meets weekly to engage in literary exercises. The Florida Grant Literary Society was organized in 1893. Its inception was during the administration of Bishop Abraham Grant, over the Sixth Episcopal District, and was named in honor of his wife. It furnishes an excellent opportunity for drill in writing, speaking and parliamentary usages. These societies may meet jointly once a month. The College Debating Club is an organization of college students for training in forensic speaking. The High School Debating Club is composed of High School Stu¬ dents, and is for the purpose of training them in debate.

THE YOUNG MEN’S AND WOMEN’S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATIONS

These organizations, as their names indicate, are- for the purpose of training the students in the.various.lines/qfcChrigtiaja-.w.ork. They-. 14 MORRIS BROWN UNIVERSITY CATALOGUE

afford excellent opportunities for social intercourse as well as for moral and religious development.

FRATERNITIES AND SORORITIES

The Zeta Chapter of the Phi Beta Sigma, a national fraternity, and the Beta Chapter of the Zeta Phi Beta, a national sorority, are maintained among the young men and young women respectively.

ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION

This association affords a splendid opportunity for the physical development of the students in the field of athletic exercises. All athletic sports are under the supervision of the Faculty. A special effort is made to improve the average student’s physical condition. Unless excused by the physician, all students are required to devote two hours a week to physical culture throughout the year. To participate in Athletics or inter-collegiate contests or extra-cur¬ ricular activities a student must be passing in all of his work and must maintain a passing grade monthly. No student will be per¬ mitted to participate in athletics or inter-collegiate contests or extra¬ curricular activities who is carrying less than the required amount of work.

RELIGIOUS SERVICES—CHAPEL

Daily morning devotions conducted by members of the Faculty are held in the Chapel. In aiming to promote character as well as learning the University is loyal to the known purpose of its founders, men who knew the light and power of personal religion and rightly believed a normal collegiate life to need the quicken¬ ing spirits of Christian worship. Chapel Attendance Is Compulsory. All students are required to attend. An accurate check of the students’ attendance is kept. Any student being absent from chapel more than ten times during a semester is dropped from the school lor the remainder of the semester.

SUNDAY SCHOOL

A model Sunday School is conducted on Sunday morning at 9:30 by the students, supervised by the Faculty. The pastor and super¬ intendent seek to have the most effective and approved methods of Bible study applied.

MORNING SERVICE

At 11 o’clock every Sabbath, regular services are conducted by the Pastor, or some prominent religious leader, thus giving the students MORRIS BROWN UNIVERSITY CATALOGUE 15 an opportunity during the year to hear some of the most consecrated as well as trained men of the race.

ADVANCE STANDING FROM OTHER COLLEGES

Students coming from colleges or universities may receive advance standing upon presentation of certificates of the work they have done. It is highly important that these statements be sent in before the be¬ ginning of the semester. They must include (a) A statement of the work done in satisfaction of entrance requirements. This statement must come directly from the school where the work was done, (b) A statement certifying the college credits that have been earned. Such statements should indicate the subject studied, ground covered, num¬ ber of weeks, and number of hours of recitations per week. In case of students coming from colleges whose entrance requirements are less than those of Morris Brown University, a sufficient number of college credits will be applied to make good the deficiency. No students from other colleges will be admitted except upon pre¬ sentation of a certificate of honorable dismissal from such college. The exact amount of credit allowed a student for work done in oth¬ er institutions will depend very largely upon the quality of his work done in Morris Brown and cannot be definitely determined until after at least one semester’s work has been done in Morris Brown.

WORK TO BE CARRIED AT ONE TIME

The normal minimum and the maximum of the several classes are as follows: Freshman, minimum, twelve hours; maximum, sixteen. Sophomores, minimum, twelve hours; maximum, seventeen. Juniors and Seniors, minimum, twelve hours; maximum, eighteen. 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” grade. The faculty requires all students to take four full years to complete the College course.

EXAMINATIONS

No instructor has the authority to close a course or hold the final examination before the appointed time. Consent to do so must come from the Office of the Dean. Regular examinations are held at the end of each semester. No credit is given for any subject until after an examination. Conditional examinations are held the first and sec¬ ond weeks of each semester. All conditions must be removed during this time, if not, they automatically become failures.

GRADING SYSTEM

Students’ grades in all courses are filed with the Dean and thence the Registrar who keeps the Official Records of the University. The! passing grades are: A, A-minus, B, B-minus, C, and D. The highest! MORRIS BROWN UNIVERSITY CATALOGUE 28 passing grade is A, the lowest is D. I, Incomplete; E, Conditional; F, Failure. The lowest passing grade is 70. For each hour of A, three points. A, 93-100. For each hour of B, two points. B, 85-93. For each hour of C, one point. C, 78-85. For each hour of D, no points. D, 70-75. For each hour of F one point is deducted from sum total of points.

CONDITIONS AND FAILURES

Unsatisfactory work is designated by the mark of E or I. E. means conditioned work because of poor qtfality of work for which no credit is granted except upon re-examination and no higher grade than D can be obtained. A condition of E must be removed within the first two weeks of the following semester. A mark of F is recorded for all E's not removed within the specified time. I means that a student has failed to complete the work because of absence or failure to complete a given assignment. Method and time of removal is the same as that for the grade of E. F represent failure and can only be removed by re-enrolling in the class. A student must pass in two-thirds of all work taker\ or be dropped from the College for the remainder of the school year.

WITHDRAWAL FROM COURSES

A student is not permitted to withdraw from a course without the consent of the Dean. Any student who drops a course without the consent of the Dean will receive a failure in the course; and any stu¬ dent who takes a course irregularly will not receive credit for it.

ATTENDANCE

Excused absences are those which are due to illness or other causes which are entirely beyond the control of the student. Teachers will not admit students who do not present a valid excuse signed by the

Dean. t A student is allowed as many unexcused absences as there are credit hours in the course. When his absences exceed this number he is required to take, at a specified time, a special examination. The customary fee of one dollar ($1.00) is charged for this special eaxmination, payable to the Bursar. Absences from classes held on a day or days immediately before or after a vacation count the same as two absences at other times.

WORK REQUIRED FOR GRADUATION In order to qualify for the Bachelor of Arts Degree from the Col¬ lege, a student must complete 128 hours of class work. In addition 24 MORRIS BROWN UNIVERSITY CATALOGUE the student must do such work in vocal music, physical training and hygiene as the University authorities may direct. No student shall graduate from the institution who has not spent the senior year in residence. In the evening school all candidates for graduation must have spent at least two years in residence. SCHOLARSHIP In order to be accepted as a candidate for the Bachelor’s Degree a student must have received a minimum of 128 grade points.

HONORS • Students maintaining an average of A are graduated “Summa Cum Laude,” those maintaining a standing of A-minus, are graduated “Magna Cum Laude,” those maintaining a standing of B, are grad¬ uated “Cum Laude.” To be eligible for the honor roll a student must attain a mark of B or above in all subjects. FEES No student will be recommended for graduation who has not paid all fees and bills due the University. The registrar will send the first transcript of each student record free of charge. After then a charge of $1.00 will be made for the sending of each additional transcript. DISMISSAL Students failing to pass in two-thirds of the work for which they receive grades at the end of the semester are dropped from the Uni¬ versity for the remainder of the year.

STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY The individual student will be held responsible for the election of his course and government of his action in conformity with the pre- ceeding regulation. We urge, however, that students consult their ad¬ visors before electing courses, and said courses must be approved by the Dean, otherwise awards will not be given for same. Following is an outline of work for Freshmen in the College. FRESHMEN WEEK In keeping with the policy of the leading schools of the country, Morris Brown University is inaugurating the plan of requiring fresh¬ men to enter earlier than other students. This is in order to aid the new student just entering college to become adapted as early as pos¬ sible to his new environment and situation. Freshmen will have their registration and assignments completed during this period. In addi¬ tion to lectures and other introductory exercises, they will be given certain tests for purposes of diagnosis and later guidance. It is the desire to make this period one of much significance to freshmen. They MORRIS BROWN UNIVERSITY CATALOGUE 25 will be given an opportunity to become acquainted with each other, with teachers, and with the school in general. It is felt that the right beginning will do much toward making the entire college career of each student more fruitful and happy. Monday: Registration Psychological Test President’s Address to the Freshmen Study of Schedule and catalogue under supervision of the Dean Enrollment Educational test in reading Diagnostic Test in English Objective Test in English Tuesday: Vocational Guidance Conferences Address: Dean of Men The Remaining Tests will be given during this time. Address: Dean of Women Address: “How To Study,” by the Dean of the College. “What Morris Brown has meant to me,” by the members of the Alumni Association. Freshman Lectures Required of all Freshmen One Hour Each Week. It has been found that orientation courses reduce the rate of fresh¬ man mortality. Through it, scholarship and college spirit are raised to higher levels. It gives the student a chance to make an analysis of himself. This course is to help the student make proper adjustments and contacts as he transfers from school and home life to college life. This course will attempt to develop in the student proper attitudes and the right point of view with respect to his social, economic, schol¬ astic, cultural, and spiritual growth. 1. President 11.

HISTORY

In the establishment of Morris Brown College the fathers saw that to educate the pew and leave the pulpit fgnorant, would be detri¬ mental to the church and race, therefore they purpose to have an educated ministry. As early as 1885, September 23, just before the doors of Morris Browne were opened for the reception of students, Rev. T. G. Stewart, D. D., now chaplain of the United States Army, 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 establish a Theological De¬ partment. This was sent to the Executive Board, with power to act, and it slept for four years, until 1891, when at the Trustee Meeting, Rev. W. O. P. Sherman moved to erect a chapel and Theological In¬ stitute. 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 Presi¬ dent of the College be elected, and he to be the Dean of Theology, and lessons be given at night. This was referred to a special com¬ mittee, and here, for that year it found its burial place. But October 2, 1894, the following year, that which had been for 9 years the sub¬ ject of thought and agitation bloomed forth into the formal opening of a Theological Department, with an able address by that invincible prelate who knows no failure, Bishop H. M. Turner, D. D., LL. D. 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 28, Rev. E. W. Lee, D. D., was again elected Dean and more was done this year than any previous year. The Presi¬ dent’s report for this year said: “In the Theological Department much has been accomplished through the labors of Rev. E. W. Lee, Dean. He has kept a class of young men busy searching the Scrip¬ tures for the hidden pearls and precious gems therein contained, and much good is the outcome.” 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. MORRIS BROWN UNIVERSITY CATALOGUE 69

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, D. D., resigned, and at the Executive Board, November 25, 1896, Bishop H. M. Turner, D. D., announced that he had appointed Rev. M. M. Ponton, S. T. B., Dean, who served seven years, until June, 1903. From 1898 to 1899, Rev. J. D. Bibb, A. M., was Professor of His¬ torical 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 10, 1900, the Executive Board, by unanimous vote changed the name from Theological Department of Morris Brown University to Turner Theological Seminary, in honor of the Senior Bishop. June, 1903, the Special Committee appointed by the Trustee Board to elect professors and teachers, elected Rev. J. A. Lindsay, D. D., Dean, and Rev. J. S. Flipper, D. D., Professor of Historical Theology. Before the opening of the Department, September 15, 1903, Rev. J. A. Lindsay, D. D., resigned and Rev. J. S. Flipper was appointed Dean.

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., Pro¬ fessor 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. Wm. Byrd, B. D., was elected to fill said professorship. June, 1904, Rev. W. G. Alexander, D. D., was elected Dean and served three years. June, 1907, Rev. F. R. Sims, 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 Pro¬ fessors, Revs. Wm. Byrd, D. D., and C. M. Manning, D. D. June, 1913, Rev. P. W. Greatheart, D. D., was elected Dean, and Rev. D. R. Fobbs, D. D., Professor of Historical and Practical Theo¬ logy-

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 1918, Rev. J. R. Gardner was elected to the chair of Greek and Hebrew. In July, 1920, Rev. J. A. Lind¬ say, D. D., was elected Dean and served two years. In 1922, Dr, W. 70 MORRIS BROWN UNIVERSITY CATALOGUE
