in any other field. The courses consist of a study of the Bible itself.
In order to put Christianity first in the thoughts and activities of
the student body, ample opportunities are given both in religious
worship and practical service. In all the meetings outlined below,
a worshipful, respectful attitude is fostered and the religious spirit
is deepened and enriched.
Young Men's Meetings. - Every Monday night two meetings are
conducted by the young men of the College. These services of Gospel
songs, Scripture readings and quotations, and evangelistic talks
furnish valuable training for the young men, assisting them to take
their part in the work of the church and to come to love the service
of the Lord.
Mission Study Meetings.- In the forty-five minutes preceding the
prayer meetings on Wednesday nights there is a religious meeting
that deals especially with missions. These meetings are not designed
alone for future missionaries as such but for all Christians. Study
is made of such problems as missions in the Bible, the Bible way of
sending out and supporting missions, needs in the mission fields.
Evangelistic Forum.- Each Friday evening the preacher students
meet for worship and Christian training. Their program usually consists
of religious songs, Scripture reading, prayer, and a study of
some phase of evangelistic work. Some faculty member or local
preacher leads in the discussion.
Young Ladies Training Class.- On each Friday evening a number
of young ladies meet for the purposes of study and worship. The
aims are to promote spiritual growth of those present and to learn
what woman's work in the church is and how she can do this work
most succesfully. The programs consist of songs, prayers, Bible
readings and short talks from members or some invited guest.
Student Organizations
Some of the outstanding advantages of college life are found outside
of regular work. Various clubs and organizations furnish
social life and help develop the students along different lines.
The Students Association.-This organization, composed of the
whole student body, stresses the spirit of unity and cooperation
among the students in solving their general problems.
The James A. Garfield Society.- This organization is a local unit
of Alpha Chi, formerly the Scholarship Societies of the South. Very
high scholastic standing and good character are the qualifications
for membership.
The A Club.- Membership in the A Club is based entirely on
merit. Only men students who win honor for A. C. C. in athletics,
forensics, or other student activities and are of high moral standing
may become members of the club. A failure to live up to the ideals
in after-life forfeits the membership and the individual is required
to return the letter.
The W Club.- This is a sister organization of the A club.
During the session of 1919-'20 Mrs. Sewell chose several girls as the
nucleus of the club. The purpose of the club is to develop ideal college
women and its motto is, 'A worthy woman who can find, for
her price is far above rubies?'18
