Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Oglethorpe University Bulletin: February, 1916 October, 1919; Volumes 1-4
But while courses have thus been shaped in various institutions for the man who may wish to be a minister, or a teacher or an engi neer, or a mechanic, or a farmer, it is only recently that some of our leading American universities have offered courses designed for the student who expects to be a business man. One reason for the failure of so many schools to take care of this tremendous body of students lies in the fact that it is practically im possible to operate successfully such a series of courses without the use of a great city as a laboratory of instruction. The location of Oglethorpe University in the suburbs Of Atlanta, Georgia, supplied this fine opportunity which the management of the institution has been quick to grasp. The School of Commerce at Oglethorpe, which will open with a Freshman class in the fall of 1916, consists of a full four years' course in studies relating to practical business administration and indus trial life. Upon its successful completion the degree of Bachelor Of Commerce is conferred upon students pursuing it. The courses in the School of Commerce, as outlined below, are equivalent in dignity and importance to the courses offered in the Schools of Arts, Science and Literature. It is no longer necessary for a young man who expects to spend his life in the business world to pursue a course of study specially adapted to a student for the ministry, nor to waste his time in studies that are of no value what soever to him in the years of his afte'r life.
