PurposeColleges cannot give an education — they provide opportunities forpersons to educate themselves. Oxford College seeks to provide anenvironment in which highly motivated young men and women canprogress toward intellectual and personal maturity.

Intellectual maturation includes the experience of hard, persistentintellectual effort; concern for mastery of subject matter; an orderedknowledge and understanding of the history of civilization; a capacity forappreciation and evaluation by accepted standards of judgment — literary,aesthetic, ethical, religious and scientific — and the establishment ofenduring intellectual interests.

Personal growth of the student includes continuing growth in responsi¬ble self-expression and self-direction; respect for and practice of rationaland judicial due process; and the progressive development of social respon¬sibility.

Emory University was founded upon the moral and ethical values of theChristian faith and upon the human and academic values inherent in thetradition of liberating education. By engendering these values in itsstudents, Oxford College participates in the development of humane andsocially responsible individuals. In its efforts to nurture social and schol¬arly growth, Oxford strives to exemplify its ideals in daily operation, as acommunity in which professors, administrators, staff and students have

genuine concern for one another, for the enrichment of their commonexperience, and for the achievement of their common purpose.

For each semester hour of credit, a grade of A entitles a student tofour quality points, B to three quality points, C to two, D to one and F tonone. Grade-point averages are determined by dividing the number ofquality points earned by the number of hours attempted. The grades of WFand IF are computed as F.Report of GradesReports of students' grades are made to the students shortly after the closeof each semester. Students are notified about midsemester of unsatisfactoryacademic performance. Students who wish their parents or guardians toreceive their grade reports and notification of unsatisfactory academicperformance must file a written request in the Registrar's Office.

Physical Education and HealthProfessor Greer; Associate Professors Burnett, England and Shappell;Instructor Wilks.

The Division of Physical Education and Health offers students the oppor¬tunity to develop a greater awareness of their human movement potentialand its relationship to their present and future well-being. The curriculumis designed to expose students to various courses, programs and activitieswhich lead to the maintenance of a healthy body, the acquisition ofparticular motor skills, aesthetic appreciation of movement, fulfillment ofthe competitive/cooperative use of leisure time, and sheer kinestheticpleasure.

Students are required to take one 1-semester-hour course for eachsemester in residence with a maximum of four courses required. Thesecourses must include one from each of three areas (Aquatics, Health/Fitness, and Lifetime Activities).

There will be no exceptions made for the physical education require¬ment. If a student is handicapped or in some way incapacitated due toillness prior to registration, the student must enroll in a course under oneof the three emphasis areas. The courses will be adjusted to fit the needs ofthe student so that the student will be able to meet the Uniform Require¬ment. If a student is incapacitated while enrolled in a course, adjustmentsfor completing the course will be made.

This division, in addition to its curricular responsibilities, organizes anddirects the intramural and intercollegiate athletic programs. Oxford Col¬lege teams participate in soccer, golf and tennis and compete in RegionXVII of the National Junior College Athletic Association.

History and Social SciencesProfessor Penn; Associate Professors Davis, McQuaide and Shapiro;Assistant Professors Abghari and Coyne; Instructor Atkinson.The need for students to acquire knowledge of the enduring values ofWestern Civilization and of the concepts that underlie these values imbuesthe purposes of the History and Social Sciences Division. This perceptionpresumes that responsible members of society can develop only frompersons who understand their roots and whose convictions are the result ofcritical thought rather than simple acculturation. This is the foundationfor the disciplines of the division, which also provide the academic basisfor a variety of professional and vocational options.
