FACT BOOK 2009-10 GENERAL INFORMATION

HISTORY AND CHARACTERISTICS OF THE COLLEGE Millsaps College was named for Major Reuben Webster Millsaps (1833-1916), a native Mississippian, graduate of Harvard Law School, respected businessman, and active leader in the Methodist Church. His initial gift of $50,000 in 1890, matched by a similar contribution from the church, formed the foundation for the new college located in the state capital. Major Millsaps' support of the college continued throughout his life, and he is interred in a mausoleum north of the Christian Center.

The first class of 149 students enrolled in 1892, and a hundred years later the student body had expanded to about 1,200 on a 100-acre residential campus close to downtown Jackson. Designed originally as a "Christian college for young men," Millsaps soon became co-educational.

The excellence of the college was recognized in 1988 when it was awarded the first chapter of Phi Beta Kappa in the state. It offers the degrees of Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Business Administration, Bachelor of Science, Master of Accountancy, and Master of Business Administration. Millsaps has nationally accredited programs in chemistry, education, and undergraduate and graduate business. The college is also a member of the Associated Colleges of the South, a consortium of sixteen colleges all accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. Its athletic program is part of the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference and the National Collegiate Athletic Association for Division III institutions.

The curriculum underwent a major revision in 1992, resulting in a distinctively integrated core of ten courses centered around a series of liberal arts abilities that are developed throughout a student's four years at Millsaps. Beginning with the Seminar in Critical Thinking and Academic Literacy, required of all students and taught by faculty from all divisions, the core curriculum focuses most intensively on reasoning and communication skills. The college’s senior capstone experiences include senior seminars, comprehensive examinations with written and oral components for all majors, and a reflective paper in which students evaluate their educational experiences at Millsaps. The faculty has developed an innovative and successful writing-across-the-curriculum program, including a Writing Portfolio requirement of seven papers by the end of the sophomore year.

Small classes, an undergraduate student/teacher ratio of 10 to 1, and accessible faculty are often mentioned by students as being among the strengths of the college. The intellectual life of the college is stimulated by an active Honors Program for juniors and seniors, a Ford Teaching Fellowship for upper-level students, and a strong undergraduate research program in the sciences. There are numerous opportunities for independent research in all disciplines, as well as a variety of internships that take advantage of the college's location in the state capital. Many students also participate in the college's field-based research programs in the Yucatan and its study abroad programs in Europe, Central America, Asia, and Africa. The 1 Campus, 1 Community program, the Faith & Work Initiative, and the W.M. Keck Center for Instrumental and Biochemical Comparative Archaeology are among the unique programs at Millsaps.

HONOR CODE Millsaps College instituted its campus-wide Honor Code in the fall of 1994. Through the Honor Code, the college’s students affirm their commitment to the principles of personal honesty and mutual trust. The Honor Code was conceptualized and put into action largely through student initiative to allow for a greater degree of trust and personal freedom among students, faculty and administration. The Student Body Association collaborated with faculty and staff to devise the code. After a series of drafts, the document was adopted by the students in a campus-wide election and approved by the faculty and the Board of Trustees.

The Honor Code is an academic document which addresses matters such as plagiarism, honesty on examinations, and unauthorized use of computer accounts.

The Code is designed to allow students to put personal responsibility and integrity into action. Upon admission and entry into the Millsaps campus, freshmen attend a formal signing ceremony. By signing their honor cards, students agree to abide by the principles of the Code.

When dealing with infractions against the Honor Code, the Honor Council strives to deliberate in a completely unbiased and just manner over the proceedings. The Council (consisting of faculty and student members) assumes innocence unless evidence proves otherwise. In its proceedings, the Council determines whether the accused is guilty and, if so, recommends an appropriate sanction to the Vice President for academic affairs. The accused is allowed an appeal to the President of the College. Details of the proceedings are kept in the strict confidence by the Honor Council.

MILLSAPS COLLEGE ALMA MATER

"Alma Mater, dear old Millsaps, Loyal ones are we.

Our fond hearts are thine alone And evermore shall be.

(Chorus) Proud art thou, in classic beauty, Of thy noble past.

With thy watchword Honor, Duty, Thy high fame shall last.

Every student, man and woman, Swell the glad refrain, Till the breezes, music-laden, Waft it back again."

(Chorus) Proud art thou, in classic beauty, Of thy noble past.

With thy watchword Honor, Duty, Thy high fame shall last.
