Local Alumni Club Takes Lead For Appreciation Week

The educational, cultural, and economic value of LaGrange Col- lege to the city of LaGrange is to be recognized during a forthcom- ing "LaGrange College Apprecia- tion Week."

Plans for the week-long event, scheduled from Sept. 15 to Sept. 21 — the week students arrive f'-r the academic year, have been announced by the sponsor, the local LC Alumni (men's) Club.

In announcing plans for the week the club president, Delma Fowler, a local certified public accountant, said, "An appreciation week, such as we are plan- ning, will give the citizens, busi- nesses, and industries of this city an opportunity to demonstrate their appreciation for all the college has contributed and stood for during its 132 years' existence."

"Through activities of this week," Fowler continued, "we also want to introduce all new students at the college to the warm, | friendly city of LaGrange. We want them and their parents to know that LaGrange appreciates the fact that they selected our town for their education and college home away from home."

Appointed as general chairman of the event is the Rev. John Kay, assistant pastor of the. First Me- thodist Church.

In outlining the week's activities, Rev. Mr. Kay said the high points wouid be free refreshments and brodhures on LaGrange as the students arrive on campus on Sunday, Sept. 15, and then a swim and dance party and barbecue on Monday, Sept. 16.

The party and barbecue, fi- nanced by contributions by inter- ested merchants, professional men and civic organizations, will be at Callaway Recreation Area.

Fowler said that "When we contacted various civic and business leaders for funds, they not only contributed willingly, but thanked us for undertaking the project. It was quite evident that they recognize the value of the college to the city."

The club has sent invitations to the barbecue to all freshmen and transfer students. Also invit- ed are members of the LaGrange City Council and the college administration, and representatives of various news media.

In conjunction with the week's activities, signs will be erected for the first time at the main highway entrances to LaGrange, proclaiming the city as the home of LaGrange College.

The City Council recently yok- ed to erect the signs after the alumni club presented the need for them.

The club is still in its first year of existence. Other officers, in addition to President Fowler and Kay, the club' secretary, are Ranee Sprayberry, vice-president, and Richard McClurg, treasurer.

Requirement lowered, conflict chance cut

The general basic requirement for all students at LaGrange Col- lege has been lowered by ten

i hours. Effective with the 1963-64 La-

l Grange College Catalog, the mo- idern language and the mathema- ; tics and science divisions have re- iduced by ten hours the manda- tory number of courses which previously had to be taken in these divisions.

The basic modern language re- ; quirement has previously been (twenty quarter hours. It is now [fifteen quarter hours. The science land mathematics requirement is jnow fifteen instead of twenty i hours.

Five of these, ten hours must !be satisfied through one of three Choices. The student may (1) : choose a fourth quarter of the foreign language originally chosen, (2) an additional laboratory

j science in other than the first field of science chosen may be taken, or (3) an additional mathematics course above mathematics 112 may be elected.

In the fine art and social science divisions the basic requirement has also been lowered by ten hours, the fine arts from ten hours to five hours, the social science also from ten hours to five

hours. Five of these ten hours must

be satisfied by either a choice from the fine arts courses: Art 110, Music 110, or Speech 110, or from the social sciences: Econom- ics 201, Education 201, Philoso- phy 201, Politicjal Science 201, Psychology 201, or Sociology 201.

The remaining ten hours (five from language, science, and mathematics and five from social science and fine arts) will not be dropped from the total number of hours required for a degree. "They can be used," according to Academic Dean C. Lee Harwell, "by the student either for fur- ther study in his major field or for work in elected subjects."

Discussing immediate benefits which would come about through this change the Dean said, "We should have a higher number of enrolees in the upper division language courses. Conflicts in the scheduling of classes should become less common." _ , _, _ . .

ans year "The hope of the Student Gov-

ernment this year", said Millard Martin, president of the organization, "is that it will become an effective coordinator of student activities."

Martin continued to line out the future SGA policy. "I hope we can remove the stigma of en- forcement and create an atmosphere of cooperation in the student body. The interest in student government has not been what it should have been. We hope to remedy that problem this year."

According to Martin, the legislative branch of the government and, in particular, the committee system contained in this branch will be one of the key subjects of the reform movement for the coming year.

The Legislative Council is one of the three basic divisiors of the Student Government. The other two are the Executive Council and the Judicial Council. Of these three bodies the Legis- lative Council is by nature the most representative. It's mem- bership is not only the largest of the three bodies but also the representatives are drawn from the greatest number of segments of the upperclass student population.

Within the Legislative Council there is a system of committees: Community Relations, Campus Problems, Student-Faculty Rela- tions, and School Spirit. The members of the Legislature serve on these permanent committees.

The SGA executive plans to emphasize the function of these [two dormitories. The showers committees this year by assign-;have been partitioned in Turner

Frosh men take Pitts, women set to occupy Turner this week

Due to increased student enrollment this fall there will be a change in dormitory assignment.

The women students who have room assignments in Pitts dormitory will now occupy Turner dormitory. Men students with room assignments in Turner Hall will now occupy Pitts dormitory.

According to President Henry, there were simply more students enrolled this year at LaGrange than could be properly housed under the former arrangement.

"Within a year," according to President Henry, "it is quite like- ly that we will reverse the swap."

"I do not foresee that any social problem will arise out of this arrangement. Our biggest problem1

will come when we ask the girls to move back into Pitts."

According to administration sources the only alternative to this change would have been to place three women in each room in Pitts. Due to crowded condi- tions this would have resulted in lack of privacy and inadequate closet and. storage space.

Several changes have been made in the physical facilities of the

authority and

under the

ing them more more responsibility.

and a new tile bath has been in- stalled in Pitts for the residence counselor.

Mrs. Pool will be the residence counselor in Turner and Mrs. Platt will b^^.^ur^pj Pitts for the freshmen boys.

HILLTOP NEWS — LAGRANGE COLLEGE September 15, 1963

Basic Requirement Lowered The LaGrange College Catalog does not simply come

into existence each year. It is brought together through years of experience and contains evaluations which have stood the test of time.

Requirements and information contained between the 1963-64 red covers strive to stay in line with the most up to date studies by recognized experts in the academic fields.

This best of the old and new is brought together through hours of exacting work by those responsible for the book. Two new additions to the '63-'64 Catalog we feel are par- ticularly noteworthy.

First is the provision which has been made for a "reading day" which is to come before the first day of examinations in each quarter. It will be a day free of class instruction. The use of this day will depend on the needs of each particular student. It may be to complete a term paper or book report; to make up a test that was missed during the quarter, or simply to take a good rest before exams begin. It is a worthwhile addition if utilized properly.

The second change to be discussed here is in relation to the basic general requirement which has to be met by all students. The reduction of this requirement by ten quarter hours gives each student additional hours which may be used for extended study in his major field or in elected fields.

Under the new catalog greater freedom can also be ex- ercised within the framework of the basic general requirements.

Both of these changes seem to be wise policies. We are glad to see them go into effect.

Where The Rules Are The Student Handbook is published by the Student

Government Association of LaGrange College. It is no sim- ple matter to publish such a book. We are grateful to those who realize a necessity for the publication and devote hours of their time to its construction.

Among numerous other subjects within the handbook are found the Constitution of Student Government Asso- ciation, Student Government General Regulations, and Stu- dent Government Regulations for Men and for Women.

It is by these rules that the student body will be govern- ed this year.

In a democratic society the rules must be obeyed by the people because they are made by the people. If they become undesirable, they can be changed by the people. But first they must be obeyed. It is within these rules that we find our freedom.

The rules can only be obeyed if they are known. The Student Handbook contains the rules.

A Summer Of Selling During the months of summer quarter the LaGrange

College chapter of Circle K, Number 102, devoted a con- siderable quantity of man hours to the sale of advertising to the local merchants of LaGrange. The content of this advertising has been converted into desk blotters which are being distributed by the members of Circle K among the student population.

Circle K is by definition an organization devoted to the service of college and community. The members of chapter 102 have indeed taken a step which is in line with their professed goals.

We thank Circle K for their service and our blotters.

I TO FRESHMEN

A Welcome, A Warning, A Plea

Editorial

This is simply a welcome, a warning, and a plea.

First things first. Welcome. We are sincerely glad to have you at LaGrange College. This is a small college. You will soon become familiar with all of the faces of the students, faculty, and administration. The names may take a little longer but despair not. You have time. This is also a college which has high academic standards. Despair. You will be required to do quality work to remain

We like our small friendly liberal arts college with high aca- demis standards which require quality work and we hope that you will explore the reasons why.

Second, a warning. Even though we are a small,

friendly liberal arts college with high academic standards we tend at times to slip into what our language has labled "The Colleg- iate Rut." Now, you have probably noticed already, if not you wiil soon, that sophomores and upperclassmen tend, for a while, to feel superior to freshmen. This is a perfectly natural thing for them to do. It is important however, that you remember during these crucial times that it is very important to upperclassmen to express this autumn feeling of superiority. Therefore, it is im- perative that you act like freshmen, i. e., insipid, scum of the earth, void of all knowledge of madras and cordovan, so that they might act like upperclassmen, i. e. inspired, 'ifounftainhead of all knowledge, madras faded beyond recognizable plaid and four-year cordovans.

You will also have to consider that this is simply a stage in their development and that soon they will learn more about their own personalities and realize where they are and what they are here for, etc., and the harassment will cease.

Probably the simplest thing for you to do is to humor these old heads and carry the albatross a- round for a few weeks until the whole thing blows over.

The warning is yet to come. While humoring it is not neces- sary to surrender your standards to what seem to be the average Joe College, Betty Coed standards ... Unless they are above average, Joe and Betty standards.

The matriculation pledge which you took said nothing about wearing madras shirts and white sneakers. You were not required to smoke, drink, or disavow your religion.

And a plea. You are fresh blood. The old-

sters have been here a year or two or three. When you have been in a collegiate atmosphere for a number pf years your sense of context and perspective become very narrow. "The College Rut" or the Joe and Betty standards, right or no, come easier and they are found to be more and more comfortable. Indeed, listen to what the coll«ge and the old students have to say but when' your time comes, speak up. Join extracurfieuIaT aetivfties.

NLXT UP FOR AUCTION WE HNVt.--

Our Best Year - 6 Reasons Why by President Henry

LaGrange College is entering its 133rd year. It is easier to re- count history than to make it. This school has a noble history, but this is not enough. The year 1963-64 is to be its best year. Why?

1. It has its largest enrollment. This does not make it a big 'school, nor as large as it sholl

e. But we have [enrolled a number in excess of 600 students.

2. The caliber of the students is higher. Year by year the level of capability rises. The students admitted have records on paper that indicate that they are able to do effective college work. For several reasons some will not live up to the level of expecta- tions and a number of them will drop by the wayside. From records and references it is indi- cated that they should all do well. We wish they would.

3. The faculty is a strong one. It compares favorably with the under-graduate faculties of the best schools in the region. The professors are not provincial. They have spent a total of 332 years studying in 81 different col-

leges and universities. 4. The student government has

a fine set of officers who expect to administer student affairs properly.

5. The atmosphere for high academic standards has been creat- ed and will be maintained. In this regard the college will "run a tight ship", with little tolerance of anything that works against strong academic performance, and encouragement of everything that

[assists a student to do his best work.

6. The faculty and administration are united with responsible

j student leadership to see that the finest image of the college will be reflected on the campus, in

I the community, and throughout | the region. All of us are bound in collusion to make the name La- Grange synonymous with integri- ty of purpose, high performance, and spiritual maturity.

7. Costs of college operations goes up annually, but our friends are still with us. Across the nation the increase in operating costs is up 26 per cent over last year, and our plight is common v/ith that of the other schools. Even so, charges to the students are held to a minimum. We are able to provide a scholarship in

Look At The Ads by Drue Linton

As business manager of the Hilltop News, I wash to take the opportunity to ask you to patron- ize our advertisers. These are the

'people who ma-

ke this paper possible. I think they all have something to offer to you, the tudent, and they ould apprecia-

e your business. Occasionally some of our ad-

vertisers offer free coupons to LaGrange College students. It is hoped by the businessman that you will take advantage: of these

coupons and thereby visit his place of business. It is also a way of thanking you for your business. In this issue there are free coupons and other discount offers for college students only. Look for these coupons and take advantage of their offers. Both the students and the advertising merchants benefit through college newspaper advertising. Save these coupons and visit these establish- ments in the near future.

Many of our local merchants will announce sales and various items to you throughout the coming year in the Hilltop News. Watch for these sales and capi- talize on as many of. these offers as possible.

I hope you enjoy the paper and I hope that it will serve to keep you better informed.

Have a good, quarter!

Estes, Jones now professor Leave!I raised to assistant

Promotions aimed at increasing departmental strength and growth have been announced at La- Grange College by the academic dean, Dr. C. Lee Harwell.

liaised to the rank of professor were Dr. Maxie C. Estes of the speech and drama faculty, and Dr. Walter D. Jones of the Eng- lish faculty.

Promoted to the rank of assistant professor of history was John Perry Leavell Jr. in the Division of Social Science.

At the same time Professors E=tes and Jones were made chairmen of their respective faculty divisions: Dr. Estes of Fine Arts, and Dr. Jones of Humanities.

All chairmen of the college's five curricular divisions have ful- filled requirements for doctoral degrees, Dr. Harwell said. "We also follow the general practice of rotating chairmanships among professors."

Dr. Harwell explained that a division chairman is administra- tor of an area of the college cur- riculum. In consultation with other division professors, he directs the decision-making on course offerings, expenditures, and faculty appointments, and presides at division meetings.

Dr. Estes has taught speech and drama courses at the college since the fall of 1962. He also di- rected the college's productions last year of Thomas Wolfe's "Look Homeward, Angel" and Archibald MacLeish's "J. B.".

A native of Gay, Dr. Estes studied at Emory-at-Oxford and received his undergraduate degree at Georgia Southern College. He earned master's and doctor of philosophy degrees at Florida State University. He is a member! of the American Speech Associa- [ tion and the American Education Theater Association.

Dr. Jones, a native of Mont- gomery, Ala., also joined the LC faculty in the fall of 1962. He holds an undergraduate degree from Huntingdon College, received his master's degree at- Auburn University, and earned his doctor of philosophy degree at Univer- sity of Alabama. He has also stu-

the amount of $500 this year for every student enrolled, for the cost of the operation of LaGrange College exceeds income from room., board, tuition, and fees by that amount. We are able to sup- ply it from income from endow- ment, gifts from alumni, trustees, friends, and foundations. So you have an academic scholarship in the amount of $500 whether you know it or not.

Because we are engaged in a worthy and important endeavor, this- shall be a good year for us all. Let us do our best to make LaGrange College the "biggest little college in the world"! Work when it is time to work, enter in- to the extracurricular activities through which you can best serve your Alma Mater, support the athletic teams with keen enthus- iasm, keep the campus looking like a show place, and do your part to make thie our best year yet.

died at the University of Bir- mingham's Shakespeare Institute at Stratford-upon-Avon in Eng- land.

Dr. Jones previously taught at Auburn University and Universi- ty of Alabama.

Leavell, a native of Lithia Springs, has also been on the faculty for a year. He studied at Emory-at-Oxford, earned his undergraduate degree at Emory Grange, University and has received his master's degree from Duke Uni- versity since joining the LC faculty. He has also studied ai Princeton University.

14 Take Degree In Summer Session; 12 Named To Honor Roll

Fourteen LaGrange College students completed requirements for the bachelor of arts degrees during the summer quarter just

i ended. Although they will have the

rights and privileges usually ac- corded to all college graduates, science.

the seniors will not formally receive their degrees until the college's 133rd annual graduation exercises in June, 1964.

The men dominate the scene in the latest group of graduates at the college which did not become co-educational until 1953. Of the

114 summer graduates, 11 are men. The graduates, their hometowns

and major fields of study are: Ri- chard Louis Aunspaugh of Dune- din, Fla., art; Donald Wayne Beard of LaGrange, business ad- ;

Chairman gets jump on homecoming plans Homecoming this fall at La-

Grange College is more than a month away but plans for the big

, day already include a parade, crowning of the queen, a basketball game, and dance.

Plans for the traditional alumni gathering this year on Satur- day, Oct. 26, were announced by student chairman Mark Johnson Jr. of Atlanta.

The homecoming queen will be crowned on the campus quadrangle in the early afternoon and then will be featured, along with her court, in the ' college's first homecoming parade through downtown LaGrange. College or-

Informality was the key word during summer school. Dr. Kay instructs his Religion Class in front of Dobbs Auditorium.

12 Freshmen Find Trail Of Ancestors On College Hill

Twelve freshmen entering La- Grange College this fall will have a special heritage to uphold during their four years on the Hill.

Brothers, sisters, and mothers who have attended LaGrange in the past or who are now upperclassmen present a particular challenge to a dozen members of the Class of 1967.

Two students from Columbus, Ga., Larry Franklin Horton and Millard Gary Roberts both have brothers who graduated from La- Grange. John Horton was in the class of 1959; Larry Roberts was a 1958 graduate.

Elaine Latham, who comes to LaGrange from Fairburn, Ga., was preceded by her mother, Mrs. Floy Sarah Terry Lantham. Mrs. Lantham was a 1935 graduate.

Betty Brake from Macon has a sister, Ann Brake, who graduated in the class of '61.

Scarlett Marie Crenshaw's brother, Truit^, graduated last spring.

The brother of Porter Morgan, class of '62, is now attending La- Grange. He is Carson Neal Mor- gan of Decatur, Ga. Their sister, Becky Morgan Guys, is also at LaGrange.

Ann Beason from Dalton has a kinsman who is an LC alumna. Her sister, Glenda Beason Will- iams graduated in 1956.

Frank Bowles, a freshman from LaGrange, has a brother, Fred, who was a 1961 graduate.

Ted Hitchcock, Gwin Smith, and Bobby Callaway, old students back for another season, will find familiar faces passing them on the walks around campus.

Ted's sister, Judith Ellen, is now a member of the class of '67 and Gwin has a sister, Sandra Elaine, who will take her place among the fall freshmen. Bob's sister, Claire, will have a double heritage. The mother of Bob and Clair Callaway, Mrs. Sara Fran- ces Gibson Callaway, was a graduate of the class of '40.

Mrs. Mary Clyde Robinson Robertson, the mother of Judy Robertson, who will be a freshman on the Hill this September, was a graduate of the class of 1932.

Kathryn Cline recognized by GMEA and GMTA

A LaGrange College music professor has been given formal recognition as a qualified teacher of piano by the Georgia Music Educators Association and the Georgia Music Teachers Associa- tion.

Miss Kathryn Cline, associate professor of piano and organ, has been awarded a certificate of ad- vanced professional preparation.

The certificate, given under a recently developed program of the Joint Committee on Piano of the two state-wide music organizations, is given "in recognition of merit in piano teaching and possessing a master's degree in music with piano as a major field of concentration."

Purpose of the merit recognition plan, according to Miss Des- py Karlas of Athens, current chairman of the joint committee, is "to raise the standards of instruction in piano teaching and to establish a uniform method of recognition of excellence in this area."

Miss Cline, a member of the LC faculty since 1939, received her bachelor of arts degree along with a diploma in piano from La- Grange. She also holds a bachelor of music degree from Con- verse College and a master of music degree from Northwestern University.

In addition Miss Cline has studied at Peabody Conservatory of

Music with Austin Conradi (piano) and Virgil Fox (Organ).

The newly recognized LC professor is a member of Pi Kappa Lambda national honorary music fraternity, Music Educators' Na-

tional Conference, Music Teach- ers National Association, and the American Guild of Organists.

Miss Cline is organist for the First Presbyterian Church in La- Grange.

Circle K International elects Johnson trustee

A week ago LaGrange College student Mark Johnson Jr. of At- lanta was one of some 500 delegates to the annual convention of Circle K International. He has now returned home after his election as an international trus-

.tee of the Ki- wanis - sponsored college ser-

y v ice organiza- ; tion.

Elected as one lof 12 such trustees at the con- tention in Nor- [folk, Va., John- Ison will serve

during the coming year under President John H. de Bloisblanc

of University of Southwestern Louisiana, two vice-presidents, and a secretary.

As international trustee John- son will look after club affairs in an area which includes several states, to be assigned by the president. His duties will include the promotion of Circle K ideals and organization of new clubs. He will also attend international board meetings.

President of the LC junior class this fall and a parttime staff an- nouncer for a local radio station (WTRP), Johnson is the organization's first international offic- er from Georgia in two years. John Cromartie of Emory Uni- versity was a trustee during 1961-

62. Twenty-four men, representing

10 of the 20 Circle K chapters in Georgia attended the convention which had the theme, "Educate for Freedom." The delegation was led by District Governor Douglas Lee of Reinhardt College and accompanied by Jack McGraw,

j district adviser of Columbus. In addition to Johnson, who was

. attending his second international convention, LaGrange College was represented by Robert Wel- chel of Chackamauga, LC chapter president.

Wclchel was also in the convention spotlight as he performed on his guitar and sang one night during a convention "hootenanny."

Other Georgia colleges sending delegates were Berry College, Co- lumbus College, Emory Universi- ty, Georgia School of Technology, University of Georgia, Mercer University, South Georgia Col- lege, West Georgia College, and Reinhardt College.

Expansion marks college during past ten years

by Sammy McCord

LaGrange College, in addition to its growing student enrollment, has experienced rapid growth in its physical features in the past decade.

Turner Hall, a boys dormitory, was constructed in 1958 at a cost of approximately $275,000.

In 1959 was constructed the Manget Building, which contains classrooms and offices of faculty members. Dobbs Auditorium hou- ses the other classrooms.

The school gymnasium, which had the distinction of holding the first Georgia Intercollegiate Ath- letic Conference basketball tournament, was built in 1959. The cost of the gym was approximately $350,000.

The new boys dormitory facing Broad Street was put in use only last year.

dining hall located where the student center is at present, are now eaten in a modern dining hall which opened the summer of 1962.

New tennis courts were completed during the 1962-1963 school year.

The Banks Library, constructed at a cost of $300,000, was a gift of Callaway Foundation, Inc. It was opened last spring quarter.

According to administration sources, a new vespers chapel will be built in the future. In addition, parking facilities will be added as the college continues to grow.

Buildings On The Hill Can Trace Heritage To Prominent Names

Often, as years go by, people seem to forget why a building was dedicated to some one. At LaGrange College, however, the records remain. To whom- and why each building was dedicated continues to be a part of the tra- dition of the institution.

Smith Building, which was built in 1842 with an addition in 1887, was named for Oreon Smith, the wife of Rufus Smith who served as college president fro.n 1885 to 1915.

Dobbs Auditorium was simply 'the academic building before Hawkes was built. Then it be- came Dobbs in honor of Samuel Dobbs of Atlanta, who was chairman of the Board of Trustees for a number of years.

Harriet Hawkes building was constructed in 1911 and was named for the mother of an Atlanta businessman who gave the school a large sum of money for the building.

Pitts Hall, constructed in 1941, was named for Mr. and Mrs. W. I. H. Pitts who lived at Waverly Hall. Mrs. Pitts was a member of the Board of Trustees. Only recently Mr. Pitts observed his one

■ hundred and first birthday. The William and Evelyn Banks

Library was named for a Newnan industrialist and textile executive who was a chairman of the Board also. He is now chairman emeri- tus.

William H. Turner Jr. was hon- ored in 1958 when the new boys dormitory was dedicated to him. From LaGrange, Mr. Turner was an executive with Callaway Mills Company and chairman of the executive committee of the Board of Trustees.

The classroom building, Man- get, was dedicated in 1959 to Louise Anderson Manget, an 1894 graduate of LaGrange College. She served forty years as a medi- cal missionary to the Far East. The first brick was laid by her husband, Fred P. Manget, in De- cember 1957.

LaGrange Sororities Date Back To 1852

by Sam Saxon

LaGrange College had societies for its students as early as 1852. There were literary societies however, and not sororities in the modern sense of the word. The Judson and the Hertz Literary Societies flourished on the Hill until about the time of the War Between the States. These societies did not survive the war but a new literary society, Irerian, was founded in 1878. It continued as the only society on the Hill except for a brief split in the society in 1886 until the Mezzofan- tian Society was formed in 1887. Both of these literary organiza-

| tions continued to exist even after the formation of the first sororities around 1905. The literary societies ceased to exist some-

Entire School Sets To Answer Questions

by Laura Johnston Are questions running through

your brain a mile a minute? Would you like to know some pertinent facts about LaGrange College?

Well, there are several people on campus who, during orienta- tion week and throughout the year, can answer the questions you might have.

If you have a social question, such as what restrictions there are on dating or what attire is proper to wear to a play, the person to see is Mrs. Kelly, the Dean of Women. Her office is headquarters for all social activities, so look there for answers of that sort.

Questions about student government affairs? Ask Millard Martin, president of the student body. He can answer such questions as "who is eligible to run for an SGA office," and "what is the Judicial Council's function".

For answers to academic ques-

tions, the person to see is Dean Harwell. He can tell you what credits you need to graduate or whether grades from other schools will transfer.

However, if you just have questions of a general nature (or even a little personal), ask any old LC'er, we love to talk!

time around 1940. At one time the Hill had as

many.as nine sororities. The oldest founding date available for any sorority on the Hill is 1905; the sorority was Delta Phi Sigma and its motto was "Each for the other and all for the best." The organization which authored this noble sentiment no longer exists on our Hill. The oldest existing sorority is Alpha Kappa Theta. originally founded in 1906 and reorganized in 1926. Alpha Phi Beta was founded later and Kap- pa Phi Delta in 1925.
