GENERAL INFORMATION
The purpose of this supplement is to indicate the recent changes
made in the courses of studies, expenses, scholarships, etc.
These changes are not numerous. In all particulars, except those
mentioned in this supplement, the program of the College will
remain the same in 1939-4C as it was in 1938-39.
In case a department is not mentioned, the courses remain in
that case the same as they were last year. Only the courses ad-
ded this year are given a place in this publication. Due atten-
tion should be given to the change made in the Foreign Lan-
guage requirement for graduation, and the new rules governing
the awarding of scholarships. Some changes may be noted also
in the personnel of the Board of Trustees and committees.
SCHOLARSHIPS, LOANS & AWARDS
Scholarships
In recognition of high scholastic standing and a true ambition
to attain a college education the Alumni and friends of the col-
lege have provided a number of scholarships. The average value
of a scholarship is $60.00 annually, one-half of which is to be
applied each semester toward the payment of tuition and fees.
It is the custom of the college to make these awards in accord-
ance with the desire of the donors when there is an expression
in this particular.
Schoolarships are awarded for one school year only. A candidate
for one of these awards should not have any deficiencies stand-
ing against his record. Any student who fails to maintain a pas-
sing average during the first semester is liable to lose the bene-
fit of his -scholarship for the rest of the year. It is expected that
the holder of a scholarship carry a study program of at least fif-
teen hours for credit.
Applications should be made to the Dean of the College, on
forms furnished from his office. The applications should be fil-
ed not later than September 1.
Through the generosity of certain organizations a few other
scholarships are availabJe. These helps are based on scholastic
rating and character. Students interested should sec the Dean or
the President
HIGH SCHOOL PRIZE SCHOLARSHIPS

GENERAL INFORMATION
The purpose of this supplement is to indicate the recent changes
made in the courses of studies, expenses, scholarships, etc.
These changes are not numerous. In all particulars, except those
mentioned in this supplement, the program of the College will
remain the same in 1939-4C as it was in 1938-39.
In case a department is not mentioned, the courses remain in
that case the same as they were last year. Only the courses ad-
ded this year are given a place in this publication. Due atten-
tion should be given to the change made in the Foreign Lan-
guage requirement for graduation, and the new rules governing
the awarding of scholarships. Some changes may be noted also
in the personnel of the Board of Trustees and committees.
SCHOLARSHIPS, LOANS & AWARDS
Scholarships
In recognition of high scholastic standing and a true ambition
to attain a college education the Alumni and friends of the col-
lege have provided a number of scholarships. The average value
of a scholarship is $60.00 annually, one-half of which is to be
applied each semester toward the payment of tuition and fees.
It is the custom of the college to make these awards in accord-
ance with the desire of the donors when there is an expression
in this particular.
Schoolarships are awarded for one school year only. A candidate
for one of these awards should not have any deficiencies stand-
ing against his record. Any student who fails to maintain a pas-
sing average during the first semester is liable to lose the bene-
fit of his -scholarship for the rest of the year. It is expected that
the holder of a scholarship carry a study program of at least fif-
teen hours for credit.
Applications should be made to the Dean of the College, on
forms furnished from his office. The applications should be fil-
ed not later than September 1.
Through the generosity of certain organizations a few other
scholarships are availabJe. These helps are based on scholastic
rating and character. Students interested should sec the Dean or
the President
