AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE

The purpose which has prevailed at Agnes Scott
since its foundation has been to offer the very best
educational advantages under positive Christian in-
fluences the training and furnishing of the mind
in a modern, Avell-equij)ped College, and at the same
time the formation and development of Christian
character and ideals. Along with these ends, it is
constantly sought to cultivate true womanliness, a
womanliness which combines strength with gentle-
ness and refinement. It is thus the aim of the Col-
lege to send out educated Christian women to be a
power in blessing the world and glorifying God.

The College was founded by Presbyterians, and
hence its moral standards and religious life conform
as nearly as possible to those which obtain in that
church. Special care, however, is taken not Xq in-
terfere in any way with the religious views or prefer-
ences of students from families belonging to other
denominations, or to no denomination, all of whom
are welcome.

The College offers only the B.A. degree. There
are, however, optional courses leading to this degree,
thus giving the opportunity for each student to elect
a course most in accord with her special talent and
plans.

o

ADMISSION OF STUDENTS

capitalize and punctuate correctly; no candidate will
be accepted whose work is notably deficient in these
respects. She must also have a practical knowledge
of English Grammar.

2. There should be a systematic study of Ehetoric.
Particular attention should be given to the structure
of the sentence, paragraph and whole composition.

The following books are recommended for study
in preparation: In Rhetoric, Herrick & Damon's
Composition and Rhetoric; Scott & Denny's Com-
position-Rhetoric; Genung's Outlines of Rhetoric;
Hill's Foundations of Rhetoric; Webster's English

Webster's First Bunker Hill Oration; Macaulay's
"Life of Johnson/' or Carlyle's "Essay on Burns."

As additional evidence of preparation the candi-
date may present an exercise book, properly certified
by her instructor, containing compositions or other
written work.

It is taken for granted that the candidate will have
learned by heart passages from all the poems she has
read.

Latin

MiNOK Eequirement, three and one-third units.
(a) Grammar: A thorough knowledge of the in-
flections; the simpler rules for composition and de-
rivation of words ; syntax of nouns and verbs ; struc-
ture of sentences, wuth special emphasis upon relative
and conditional sentences, indirect discourse, and all
uses of the subjunctive.

(h) Prose Composition: Ability to translate into
Latin a connected passage of idiomatic English of
moderate difficulty, based on Caesar or Cicero. To
secure such ability, the preparation should include
a systematic study of the main principles of Latin
syntax, and one period a week throughout each year
should be devoted to prose. As a text-book, Ben-
nett's "Preparatory Latin Writer," or Barss's "Writ-
ing Latin," Books I. and IL, or D'Ooge's "Latin
Composition" is recommended.

(c) Csesar: "Gallic War," any four books, prefera-

19

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE.

hlj Books I.-IY. Equivalents, if prose, will be ac-
cepted.

(d) Cicero: Seven orations, or six, if the ^'Man-
ilian Law" be one. The orations preferred are the
four against ^^Cataline," the '^Archias," and the
^'Manilian Law."

(e) Virgil: "^Eneid," two books. 60 much of
prosody as relates to the dactylic hexameter and
ability to read the poem by the quantitative method.
Two thousand lines of Ovid will be accepted as a
substitute for the two books of the ^neid.

Students should be taught from the beginning to
read Latin aloud according to the Roman method of
pronunciation, and, throughout all the years of prep-
aration, much drill should be given in translation
from hearing and at sight.

The teachers of Latin in the preparatory schools
are urged to require the use of idiomatic English in
translation.

Major Requieement, four units. To meet the
major requirement in Latin, the candidate must pre-
sent the whole minor requirement, and four addi-
tional books of Virgil's ^^^neid."

Students entering college in September, 1908, may
offer either the minor or the major requirement;
thereafter only the major will be accepted.

Greek

Students may offer for entrance in Greek either
the minor or the major requirement. The minor re-
quirement is counted as two units, and presupposes a

20

ADMISSION.

study of Greek during two full years, five recitations
a week. The major requirement is counted as three
units, and presupposes three years of preparation,
five recitations a week. The ground which must be
covered is as follows :

1. For the minor requirement

(a) Grammar : Inflections, etymology and deriva-
tion of words, syntax of nouns and verbs, and struc-
ture of the sentence as treated in White's First Greek
Book or its equivalent, must be thoroughly mastered.
Constant attention sliould be paid to translation from
English into Greek.

(h) Xenophon: Anabasis, three books. Special
attention should be paid to Greek syntax and to the
use of good English in translating. Thorough drill
on translation from English into Greek.

2. For the major requirement

The student should have completed the minimum
requirement as outlined above and in addition have
read three books of Homer's Iliad, or an equivalent
amount in Homer's Odyssey. Constant practice
should be given to prose composition, to translation
at sight, and to Homeric forms and syntax.

French

Minor Reqtjieement (admitting to French B),
two units. The preparation for this requirement
should comprise :

(1) A thorough knowledge of the rudiments of
grammar, including the essentials of syntax with

21

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE.

mastery of the regular verbs and of at least twenty-
five irregular models.

(2) Abundant exercises in prose composition.

(3) Careful drill in pronunciation and practice in
conversation.

It is essential that the candidate acquire the ability
to follow a recitation conducted in French and to

decimo pages of simple French from four authors.

Candidates are strongly urged to use Fraser and
Squair's French Grammar, of which Part I. and the
articles in Part II. relating to the use of the auxil-
iaries and the subjunctive and conditional moods, as
well as the inflection of the verbs, should be thor-
oughly mastered. The rest may serve for reference.
French Syntax and Composition, by Vreeland and
Koren, and Storr's French Syntax are well adapted
for use in beginning classes. Great emphasis should
be laid on this phase of the work. .

In order to meet the requirement the following
means should be employed:

(1) Heading aloud, both by student and by in-
structor.

(2) Writing French from dictation.

(3) The making of questions and answers on all
texts read.

(4) Frequent abstracts, sometimes oral and some-
times written, of short stories.

22

ADMISSION.

(5) Committing to memory of simple verse,
prose, and dialogues.

The use of what is known as the E^atural or Berlitz
Method is useful if not used exclusively.

In addition to the texts mentioned above, namely:
Fraser and Squair's French Grammar and Storr's
French Syntax (publishers, D. C. Heath & Co.) ;
Vreeland and Keren's French Syntax and Composi-
tion (Henry Holt & Co.), the following are suggested :

vaire de Colette; Labiche-Martin's Le Voyage de
M. Perrichon (Spiers' edition, Ginn & Co.).

If the time given to the preparation is less than
two years with five recitations a week, certificates
will not be accepted. Examinations are held at the
time scheduled in the catalogue. See page 35.

Major Requirement (admitting to French C),
three units. To meet this requirement the candidate
must present the whole minor requirement and, in
addition, the following:

tion only.

Minor Requirement (admitting to German B),
two units. Thomas's Practical German Grammar,

Mechanics, Ileat, Light, Electricity, is preferred to a
rapid survey of the Avhole book.

ADMISSION OF CANDIDATES FOB TWB DEGREE

29

AGNE8 8C0TT COLLEGE.

Should they desire later to arrange their courses
for the degree, credit will be given them for work
already done in the College, but they must meet all
of the entrance requirements of degree students.

ADMISSION OF SPECIAL STUDENTS

Candidates who have completed their collegiate
education, or who have some years prior to their ap-
plication finished their preparation for college and
have been prevented from continuing their education,
are admitted without examination to pursue studies
not included among the entrance subjects. Such stu-
dents must be at least twenty years of age and must
show special fitness for the departments they desire
to enter.

This arrangement for special students is designed
specially for teachers who desire to continue their
studies in a college well equipped with libraries and
laboratories. These students will not be permitted
to change to the degree course unless they meet the

ADMISSION BY CERTIFICATE

Agnes Scott seeks the support, co-operation and
sympathy of all Vv'orthy secondary schools, recogniz-
ing as the surest basis for advancing the educational
interests of the South the perfect co-ordination of the
college with the preparatory school.

The following conditions governing the certificate
privilege should be carefully noted:

1. The privilege is granted to schools only, and not
to private instructors.

31

AGNE8 SCOTT COLLEGE.

2. It is granted only on trial, and may be with-
drawn at any time if the work of the school is found
to be unsatisfactory. In no case will it be granted
for a longer time than three years without renewal.
Accredited schools are requested to send their cata-
logues and circulars of information to the College
each year. Changes in faculty or in methods of in-
struction may necessitate the withdrawal of the
privilege altogether or in part, until such changes
shall have been shown to be advantageous.

3. In every instance the privilege is granted only
in so far as the duly signed certificate (made out on
a blank furnished by the College) shows the entrance
work to have been done satisfactorily, and the appli-
cant to be able, in the principal's opinion, to under-
take college work with a reasonable prospect of suc-
cess.

4. Certificates will not be accepted for parts of a
subject completed by the applicant before entering
the certifying school; nor for any work done on an
entrance subject during vacation; nor for any work
done in less time than that specified as necessary
under Description of Entrance Subjects (see page
15).

5. A certificate, in order to be valid, must be pre-
sented within twelve months after the time of the
applicant's graduation from the certifying school.

Subject to these conditions, the following classes
of schools are considered eligible for admission to the
accredited list:

ADMISSION.

1. Scliools which have sent to the College students,
who, having entered upon examination, have shown
by their first year's work that their preparation has
been thorough and their training consistent with the
best methods.

2. Schools which have made formal application
to the Committee on Accredited Schools for admis-
sion to the list (upon blanks furnished by the Col-
lege for the purpose) and which have been carefully
examined by the Committee and approved as to fac-
ulty, courses, methods, and equipment.

3. Schools which have been examined by any of
the institutions belonging to the Association of Col-
leges and Preparatory Schools of the Southern States
and admitted to their accredited lists.

ADMISSION BY EXAMINATION

Examinations for admission are given in May and
in September. The examinations in May may be
taken at the time of the final examinations in the va-
rious preparatory schools and the high schools of
the South. The Association of Colleges and Prepar-
atory Schools of the Southern States has instituted a
system of uniform entrance examinations which is
designed to facilitate the admission of students. The
examination questions are prepared by committees
from the faculties of the colleges and schools and are
to be set in place of the final examinations in May on
the dates assigned. It is desired to stimulate the sec-
ondary schools, to set uniform standards for them, and

83

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE.

to encourage tliem to work together. In order to
make this system effective it is necessary for all the
schools to give +he final examinations at the same
time.

ISTot all of the ^'Entrance Subjects" will be required
of any student for entrance. Those that are required
and those that are elective are designated both for
candidates for the degree and for irregular students.
(See pp. 29-30.) The scope of the work required in
these entrance subjects accords with the requirements
for admission prescribed by the Association of Col-
leges and Preparatory Schools of the Southern States.

THE EXAISINATIOHS OFFERED IN MAY

These are the uniform entrance examinations pre-
pared and offered under the auspices of the Associa-
tion of Colleges and Preparatory Schools of the South-
ern States. The College wdll furnish sets of the ques-
tions (1) to teachers not connected with accredited
schools, (2) to accredited schools, and (3) to other
preparatory schools or high schools v\^hich may have
students preparing for Agnes Scott. It is recom-
mended that these examinations be set on the dates
assigned as the regular final examinations. The ex-
amination papers with pledge attached and endorsed
by the principal should be mailed to the President.

THE EXAMINATIONS OFFERED IN SEPTEMBER

These examinations given by the faculty of the
College are free, provided they are taken according

34

to the schedule on next page. Any candidate apply-
ing for entrance examinations after the times ap-
pointed for holding them will be charged a fee of
$5.00. All candidates expecting to take examina-
tions should arrive at the College by noon Tuesday,
September 15. The September schedule is as fol-

CONDITIONED STUDENTS

In some cases students who have not had all the
preparatory work necessary for entrance may bq
'^conditioned" in those subjects in which the defi-
ciency exists, and may remove these conditions by
work done after entering College.

Students entering for the degree course will at
present be allowed conditions in four of the fourteen
units required for entrance, provided the condition in

9

5

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE.

any subject (except the entrance work in French,
German, or Greek, when it is done in College) shall
not mean a whole year's work, and provided also that
not more than two of the conditions are included in
the nine and a half units required in English, Mathe-
matics and Latin. All conditions should be removed
before the student enters on the work of the Junior
year, and no student will be allowed to enter the
Senior year who has not removed all entrance condi-
tions prior to that time.

Irregular students will be allowed conditions in
three of the ten units required for entrance, provided
the condition in any subject (except entrance French,
German, or Greek, when done in College) shall not
mean a whole year's work, and provided also that
none of the conditions is included in the four and a
half units required in English and Mathematics
combined. An irregular student who enters with con-
ditions must remove at least two before the begin-
ning of the second year in college.

CLASSIFICATION

The classification of all students is in the hands
of the Committee on Classification. After a course
has been agreed on between a student and the Com-
mittee, no change will be allowed except by the joint
approval of the Committee and of the professors
whose departments w^ould be involved in the pro-
posed change.

The Committee on Classification will meet at any
time to consider reasons for a change of course on

36

the jDart of a student, especially where these reasons
are concerned with the student's health. The best
interest of the student is in every case the determin-
ing factor.

DEGREE AND CERTIFICATES

BACHELOR'S DEGREE

The College will confer the Degree of Bachelor of
Arts upon any student who satisfactorily completes the
course of study offered on pages 38, 39. This course,
embracing sixty hours of recitation, can not be taken
in less than four years by students who enter the
Freshman class without condition. Under no cir-
cumstances will a student be permitted to take more
than seventeen hours of recitation during one session.

This curriculum is based upon the principle that
a college degree should stand for broad and thorough
attainments in education. The B.A. course, there-
fore, is largely prescribed and the electives are given
under restrictions that will insure a broad and lib-
eral course of study for each year.

This degree will be conferred upon no student
who has taken less than one session of resident study.

CERTIFICATES

A Certificate of Proficiency will be given to any
student who completes satisfactorily the certificate
course in any subject, and in addition presents by
April 2, just preceding the completion of the course,

a thesis of not less than two thousand words, pre-
pared under the direction of the professor of the de-
partment.

PHILOSOPHY
Professor Armstrong.

A. Psychology. The purpose of this course is
to study carefully the elements of this science. A
thorough acquaintance V\dth the subject as presented
in the text-book is required, but students are encour-
aged in every vray to do their own thinking and to
analyze and interpret their own mental activities.
Such lectures and explanations as seem proper to il-
lumine the subject in hand as well as to guide and
stimulate the student, are given from time to time ;
and students will be required to consult books of ref-
erence in the library for views of the subject either
supporting or opposing those advanced in the text-
book or in the class-room work. Throughout the
course the evidence for the thoroughgoing dualism of

mind and matter is emphasized.

Text-books : Davis's Elements of Psychology ; various books

B. Ethics. The course in Ethics includes a
study of the leading theories of morals and of the ex-
tent of moral obligation, with a view to distinguish-
ing between the false and the true, leading up to the
grounding of the student in a sound theory of morals.
A considerable part of the time is devoted to a con-
sideration of practical Ethics. The character of God
as revealed in the moral constitution of the world is
shown to be the true basis of a sound system of
ethics, and the revelation of God in the Bible is
shown to be the test and correction of all practical
ethics. The authority and supremacy of conscience,
the intuitional apprehension of the fundamental prin-
ciples of moral law, and a sound psychology of man's
free-agency, are fundamental principles in the ethics

taught in this course.

Text-books: Robinson's Principles and Practice of Morality
and Alexander's Moral Science; various books of reference.

Two hours a week throughout the year.

Required of Seniors.

C. Political Economy. The object of this

contents of the book can be attempted, but the aim
will be to have the student gain a connected view of
the whole, and that from the standpoint of the book
itself.

Text-books: Price's Syllabus of Old Testament History
and The American Standard Revision Text of the Bible.

Two hours a week throughout the year.

Required of Juniors.

C. The I^ew Testament. This course will con-
sider the J^ew Testament as a whole and especially
that part coming after the gospels, which gives a
record of the Kingdom of God in Apostolic days.
The work in the 'New Testament will be followed
the latter -part of the session by a brief view of
church history as giving the progress of the Kingdom
of God in the v/orld since the days of the Apostles.

Text-books: Burton's Records and Letters of the Apos-
tolic Age and Gaines' New Testament Outlines and Notes;
Zenos' Compendium of Church History.

D. The Teaching of the Bible. This course
is offered to meet the growing demand for instruc-
tion on the part of those who expect to become
teachers of the Bible, especially those who teach in
Sunday-schools or who go as women missionaries.
The fundamental principles of education will be
first considered as carefully as possible in the time
allowed, and then the application of these principles
with special reference to the teaching of the Bible.
There will also be some study of the organization of
schools for the study of the Bible, with a view to as-

FHTSICAL TRAINING
A. Maude Moxtgomery^ Director.

The aim of the department is threefold: (1) Hy-
gienic; (2) Aesthetic; (3) Corrective.

The Hygienic exercises aim to produce bodily
vigor, to promote a healthful development of the in-
dividual, and to establish correct habits of daily life.

The Aesthetic element is introduced by means of
rhythmical exercises for gaining bodily discipline
and general co-ordination. They teach beauty of
posture, freedom and ease of motion, and are invalu-
able for developing rhythm and grace.

By the Corrective work an effort is made to over-
come and prevent the tendency to faulty attitudes
brought about by student life. For those students
who require in addition to the regular class work
individual attention for the correction of such de-
fects as flat-foot and spinal curvature, special ar-
rangements can be made with the Director.

In addition to the formal gymnastic exercises op-
portunity is afforded all students to engage in such
games as basket-ball, field hockey, and tennis under
the careful supervision of the birector. All these

71

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE.

games are played out of doors, wlien the weather per-
mits, and are a prominent factor in the general health
of the students, besides involving moral training
and the development of skill, endurance and alertness.
Those engaging in basket-ball receive very careful
attention, and every precaution is taken to guard
against injurious results. Only those students ap-
proved by the Director and the resident Physician are
allowed to play, and the game is conducted according
to the rules adopted by all the leading colleges for
women.

Individual lessons in swimming are given by ap-
pointment in the natatorium.

Every student is obliged to undergo a careful phys-
ical examination both by the Physical Director and
by the resident Physician before entering this de-
partment.

tlie entire length of the huilding in front, across one
end and back to the wing. It is connected with the
main building by a colonnade. The cost of the build-
ing and furniture was over $70,000.

The Gyninasmm

The gymnasium was completed January 1, 1904.
It is a three-story brick structure, 40x80 feet. The
gymnasium proper, thoroughly ventilated and lighted,
is on the ground floor and is 40x60 feet, with eighteen-
foot ceiling. At one end of this room and opening
into it is the natatorium, 40x20 feet, including both
pool and shower-baths. The second and third stories
are occupied as study hall and recitation rooms by
the Academy. The building is heated throughout by
steam, and suj)plied with hot and cold water.

Science Hall ^

This is a two-story brick building, containing nine
rooms and a basement. The whole lower floor is de-
voted to analytical and general chemistry, while the
second story contains the laboratories and class-rooms
for biology, and physiology.

The Alumnae Infirmary

This is a well-built two-story frame house, located
south-east of the Main Building and adjoining the
President's home. The building has been arranged
so that it is admirably adapted to its purpose.

A bath-room with hot and cold water, and with

75

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE.

sanitary plumbing, is conveniently located on each
floor. The building is lighted by electricity, and
electric call-bells connect each room with the nurse's
room. The rooms are large, well heated and lighted.
The Alumnse have undertaken to donate this most
important improvement. In recognition of their gen-
erosity and affectionate interest in their Alma Mater,
the Trustees have named the building The Alumnae
Infirmary. Although Agues Scott's health record
can not be surpassed, yet sickness may occur any-
where, and parents will doubtless appreciate the im-
portance of this Infirmary, which in its equipment
and appointments is an admirable private sanitarium.

The "White Honse

This building, a two-story frame structure, is equip-
ped with modern conveniences, steam heat, electric
lights, sanitary plumbing, and hot and cold water.
It contains twenty-five bed-rooms, and study-hall, and
has wide verandas on three sides.

HEALTH

All the natural conditions of good health are found
here: an altitude of 1050 feet, pure water, fine drain-
age, and splendid climate. The buildings are ex-
cellent, have all modern conveniences, and are
kept in a sanitary condition. But since no locality,
even under the best circumstances, is exempt from
sickness, Agnes Scott has made every preparation
in prevent it and also to treat it if it comes.

76

GENERAL INFORMATION.

The resident pliysician will see to it that buildings
and grounds are kept in a sanitary condition, will
lecture to the student-body on personal and sanitary
hygiene, and will use every means Imown to pre-
ventive medicine to ward off sickness. If sickness
comes she is here on the ground to render skilled at-
tention. The Infirmary, already described, is fur-
nished with every comfort and convenience of a mod-
ern hospital and is kept specially for the sick. A
trained nurse, a graduate of one of the best hospitals,
and with much experience, has charge of the In-
firmary under the resident physician, and gives her
entire time to looking after those who need her care.
1^0 charge is made for use of Infirmary, nor for
services of the nurse in ordinary cases, nor for sim-
ple medicines. But all prescriptions must be paid
for.

In cases of 'protracted sichiess or contagious dis-
ease parents must provide a nurse at their oiun ex-
pense.

taining a minimum of rubbish. The library has
been catalogued according to the most approved card

reference and for all purposes. A trained librarian
is in charge whose expert services render the library
doubly valuable both to faculty and students.

The library is supplied with a large selection
of choice periodicals, including the leading maga-
zines, scientific, educational, literary, music and art
journals, and also quite a number of the best church
papers.

In addition to the general College library, mention

and cold water, air blast, laboratory burners, and fur-
naces. The laboratory desks have separate drawers
and lockers for each student, where the apparatus
given out from the storage-room can be kept. Some
of the best reference-books and current scientific jour-
nals are kept in the library. In the balance-room
are Becker balances of high grade.

The Physics Laboeatoey occupies rooms in tlie

secting implements, microtomes, staining and imbed-
ding apparatus, constant temperature baths, cages for
insect culture, aquaria, and many other conveniences
for the study of animal and plant life. The museum

STUDENT AND ALUMNAE ORGANIZATIONS
Student Government Association

This organization, based upon a charter granted by
the Faculty, has for its purpose the ordering and con-
trol of the dormitory life and of most other matters
not strictly academic. Its membership includes all
the students. The most gratifying results have con-
tinually foUo^ved the increase of opportunity and of
responsibility thus given to the students, especially
in the development of self-restraint, consideration for
the majority, and the true co-operative college spirit.

Young "Women's Cliristiiisi Association

The object of the Young Woman's Christian As-
sociation is to develop spiritual life among the stu-
dents. This organization works in various ways to

are valuable as a means of cultivating ease of man-
ner and expression, of fostering a taste for good
literature, and of developing social and literary gifts.

The Mnemosynean Society was organized in Oc-
tober, 1891, and the Propylean in May, 1897.

These societies have beautiful and attractive halls
in the College. They meet once a week, and their
programs consist of readings, recitations, essays, de-
bates, and music.

The Societies are using their funds year by year
in building up excellent libraries for the benefit of
their members.

Athletic Association

Athletic SroETS^ not including the regular gym-
nastic classes, are mana.2:ed bv the Athletic Associa-
tion. Excellent tennis courts are controlled by the
Association, and basket-ball is played both in the
gymnasium, and on the out-door field when weather
permits. Much interest is manifested in the annual
match games wdth the Agnes Scott Academy.

In the fall and early winter days field hockey is
the favorite sport.

AlTiiunae Association

During the Commencement of 1895 the Agnes
Scott Alumnse Association was organized. The ob-
ject of the Association is to strengtlien the interest
of those who have been connected with the school in

STUDENT PUBLICATIONS

The students issue the following publications :
The Aurora. This is a monthly magazine de-

students.

The Silhouette. This is the Annual published
by the student-body. It is intended to give, in hu-
morous and artistic vein, a record of the student life
for the current year.

RELIGIOUS LIFE

Every effort is made to promote an earnest and pro-
nounced religious life in the College. Students are
requested to select the church they desire to make
their church home as soon as practicable after ar-
rival. Ordinarily this must be the church of their
parents. They are expected to attend this church on
Sunday morning. Attendance on daily morning
prayers is required.

school conducted in the College by resident profes-
sors, and the great mass of them attend regularly.

90

service in the chapel every Sunday evening and also
conducts mission study classes. Evening prayers are
conducted in the chapel daily. The students have
prayer meetings of their ovv^i. Besides there is a
regular mid-week prayer-meeting conducted by visit-

ing ministers.

SOCIAL LIFE

In many various ways the social life of the Col-
lege is brightened and made happy. The two liter-
ary societies do much to cultivate the social side by
receptions, music, addresses, etc. The different
classes entertain each other, and the Y. AV. C. A.
gives several receptions. The McDowell Club con-
tributes much in a musical way, while the Dramatic
Club gives plays from time to time throughout the
year.

HEEDS OF THE COLLEGE

the largest usefulness will always have needs, iignes
Scott belongs to this class. The following are some
of its pressing needs :

Endowment. Eor professorships and for main-
tenance. This is a very great need.

A College Buildia^g. The growing attendance
is taxing every available class room.

MUSIC

Tlie courses in Music are designed to cultivate a
more intelligent appreciation of the art of mnsic in
its various forms, to widen the acquaintance with its
literature, and to develop the power of interpretation.
To develop these things a large and competent Faculty
is in charge, a broad and comprehensive curriculum
is offered, and a fine equipment of new instruments
has been supplied.

The Library is liberally supplied with books of
reference, history, biographies, critical analyses, etc.

The MacDowell Club, composed of the Faculty and
the students of the School of Music, with others who
may be interested, is a valuable contribution towards
the musical life of the College. This club holds
monthly meetings, for which programs are very care-
fully prepared. The programs include papers pre-
pared by members of the Faculty on important sub-
jects in music, such as the biography and works of
the leading musicians of the Y\^orld, and also musical
numbers rendered by the members of the club. Some
of the best talent in the city of Atlanta has been in-
terested in the work of the club and contributes much
to its success. All departments of music are repre-
sented in the club. Piano, Organ, Violin, and Voice,
adding thus a delightful variety to the entertainments,
and at the same time lending additional interest and
value to the club for all music students. The enter-
tainments from month to month have proved a most
interesting feature of the life of the College.

102

SCHOOL OF MUSIC, ART AND EXPRESSION.

In addition, a course of recitals by prominent play-
ers and singers has been maintained during tbe ses-
sion at a nominal cost to the students. The attrac-
tions have been of high order and of real educational
value.

The proximity to Atlanta affords frequent oppor-
tunity of attending special services of choirs and or-
ganists, in addition to the great artists who visit the

city.^

Since no special line of training can be successful
luiless it have a broad foundation, students are urged
not to undertake the work of the School of Music ex-
clusively until they have acquired a general education.
With this idea in view the courses in the College are
invaluable to music students and are so arranged that
they can be combined very satisfactorily.

The practice of the music students is carefully
supervised and every means employed to secure the
best results.

The instruction is divided into two departments:

1. Theoretical, Historical and Critical courses.

2. Practical instruction in Piano, Organ, Violin
and Voice Culture.

Department 1 Theoretical

A. Elementaey Theory. Covering notation,
rhythm, intervals, scales, chords, musical terms, ear-
training exercises, musical dictation.

This course v/ith some modifications, is open to all
students in the Department, and is required of all
who contemplate any of the other courses in Section I.

SCHOOL OF MUSIC, ART AND EXPRESSION.

Church Music

It is the aim of the Organ department to develop
intelligent organists for church and concert work.

A strong feature of the course is the '^Church Or-
ganist's Department."

From the beginning, pedal technic, registration and
organ touch go hand-in-hand, together with pedal
studies, leading to the modern writers and later to
the great works of Bach.

Particular attention is given to hymn playing,
accompaniments for solo and choir, modulation, trans-
position and improvisation.

Special stress is laid on the dignity of the church
service, and a careful selection of organ literature is
made, suitable for divine worship.

The College has a new two manual Moller pipe
organ with all the modern equipments.

Miss Bartholomew will give a series of organ re-
citals during the year.

C. ViOLix. The training is according to the most
modern and approved methods. Facilities will be
afforded for concerted playing, and advanced students
of the piano may have opportunity for study of en-
semble music.

D. Voice Culture. Embracing the proper plac-
ing of the voice, correct habits of breathing, careful
development of tone, enunciation, phrasing, etc., with
the study of songs judiciously selected from standard
and modern song-writers and the great oratorios.

ART

Louise G. Lewis.

The principle on which this department is con-
ducted is to maintain the highest efficiency in drawl-
ing and painting from the antique, objects, and from
life, and to give to the student an intelligent apprecia-
tion of the works of the masters both ancient and
modern. Around this principle are grouped the vari-
ous departments of Art education, giving in addition
to technical training a knowledge of the historical de-
velopment of Art, theory of design, and color, and
work both practical and theoretical in the composition
of pictures.

The regular Art Course is divided into four
classes :

(A.) Drawing from casts ; clay modeling.

(B.) Drawing from casts; painting from still-life.

(C.) Drawing from full-lenglh figure; painting
from still-life ; outdoer sketching.

(D.) Drawing and painting from life; outdoor

EXPRESSION

This course aims to develop the individuality of
each student by quickening the intellectual faculties
and cultivating the imagination, thus leading her to
express her thoughts according to her own interpreta-
tion.

reading and vocal expression. Selections from the
best authors are chosen, and students are given op-
portunity, in class work, for practice in sight-reading.

GENERAL STATEMENT

The Agnes Scott Academy is a college preparatory
scliool for boarding and day students. The aim of
the school is to create the right spirit in its students,
to provide an atmosphere in which girls can gain
self-control, a sense of responsibility for themselves
and their neighbors, and high ideals of life and of
character.

The school wishes to send ont earnest students,
ready for the hard work of college and of life ; it
wishes also that these students may have the poise,
simplicity and graciousness which mark the true
gentle-woman.

The Academy is a classical school of high grade
with a four-years' course. This course has been very
carefully arranged after the best modern methods,
and will be adapted to meet two felt needs: (1) To
give a thorough preparation for college; (2) To give
a course of real educational value to girls not pre-
pared for college, nor expecting to go to college, and
who yet desire the advantages of a high-grade school.

The same high ideals which have always character-
ized Agnes Scott will continue in the Academy. The
curriculum will be kept abreast of the best college
preparatory schools. The most improved modern
methods will be used in all educational work. Only
teachers of high and special qualifications will be em-
ployed. A high standard of scholarship will be en-
forced.

116

GENERAL STATEMENT,

RELIGIOUS FEATURES

Girls in the Academy are at that period of life
when an education is most important for the forma-
tion and development of character. Hence every
thoughtful parent will desire to know what are the rej
ligious features of the Agnes Scott Academy. The
chief end of the Academy, as of the College, is the
glory of God. The indispensable qualification of
every teacher employed is Christian character. The
Bible is a text-book. The daily sessions of the school
are opened with religious exercises. An earnest ef-
fort is made to fill the home and the school with a
spiritual atmosphere. On Sabbath the resident stu-
dents attend the Sabbath-school in the College chapel,
conducted by the Faculty of the College and Aca-
demy.

ENVIRONMENT

The environment of a girl in the Academy is of
great importance. She will live in an atmosphere of
refinement, scholarship, and religion. A high moral
tone pervades the whole institution. Close and sym-
pathetic relations are gradually established between;
the girls and the teachers. The spirit in which dis-
cipline is administered tends to develop strong moral
character. Only such restraint is exercised as is
necessary to secure the right beginnings and uniform
maintenance of proper habits. Honesty and order
are the watch-w^ords of the school. To each girl there
will be granted just so much liberty as she is capable
of using aright. Those students who can not readily

117

AGNES SCOTT ACADEMY.

bring themselves into an earnest and conscientious
support of the administration will not be allowed to
remain.

REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION

English. All the parts of speech, classification
of sentences, analysis, parsing, punctuation and
capitalization, letter-writing and composition. It is
expected that the applicant shall have completed,
with thoroughness, a text-book of ordinary grammar
school grade.

Arithmetic. Thorough knowledge of common
and decimal fractions, denominate numbers, and
mensuration, percentage. To accomplish successfully
the first year's work in Mathematics, the student
must have completed satisfactorily Prince's Arithme-
tic by Grades, Book VL, or its equivalent.

History. A knowledge of the prominent persons,
places and events in the history of the United States
as presented in a standard text, as Fisher's, or Mont-
gomery's Leading Facts of American History.

Geography. The completion of the last of the
series of standard texts such as Frye's, or Tarr and
McMurray's, with especial emphasis upon Europe
and America.

ADMISSION TO ADVANCED CLASSES

In order to be admitted to the advanced classes,
students must furnish satisfactory proof that all in-
termediate work has been done. The assignment of
work will be made by subjects rather than by classes.

118

GENERAL STATEMENT.

The objects kept in mind by tbe Faculty are (1) to re-
quire no repetition of work wbicli has been previously
done in a satisfactory manuer and (2) to secure the
completion of the course in as short a time as possible.
Admission is granted in two ways: (1) by certifi-
cate; (2) by test.

1. Admission by Ceetificate. A certificate from
a school which we recognize as of equivalent grade
is accepted for those subjects, or parts of subjects,
covered by it. This certificate must be explicit in
every particular and must be made on our own blanks
which will be furnished by us upon application.

2. Admission by Test. Students coming from
schools whose courses have not been approved by the
Faculty of the Academy will be tested as to their
ability to do the work desired.

Written examinations are not required in those
subjects which will be pursued in the Academy. In
order to determine the proper classification of the ap-
plicant in such subjects, oral tests supplemented by
vrritten exercises are given by the heads of the re-
spective departments. Assignment to classes based
upon these tests is subject to change whenever and in
whatever particular the head of the department and
the teacher of the class may determine. In these
tests stress is not laid upon fullness and freshness of
knowledge. The object is to find out the thorough-
ness and the spirit of the previous work, and the
natural ability of the student. The anxiety and em-
barrassment attendant upon entrance into a new

119

AGNES SCOTT ACADEMY.

school is taken into account. Whatever method of test
is used the full information asked of those who enter
upon certificate is required.

'No mid-year or final examination is to be taken
anywhere except at the Academy and under the teach-
ers of the Academy.

Certificates will not be accepted for work done in
the summer.

DESCRIPTION OF COURSES OF STUDY

CoLEEGE Peepaeatoey. Tliis course has been ar-
ranged to give thorough preparation for the Fresh-
man Class of the College. It contains all the sub-
jects required for entrance, gives to each the time

121

AGNES SCOTT ACADEMY.

demanded, and covers the ground in each subject the
College requires. This course, therefore, meets the
demands of that class of students who expect to enter
college. It will not only enable them to enter with-
out condition, but also fully prepare for the work
before them.

Geneeal Couese. Not every girl expects to en-
ter college. A large number for various reasons
will not go to college. This course is designed to
give a good elementary training to this large class.
The effort has been made to offer electives of equal
educational value to the subject for which they are
substituted. Two options are offered, (1) a modern
language, (2) an English course including one science
and history.

English

Gkammae^ Rhetoeic^ and Composition. The
first object of this course is to teach the methods of
simple, direct, and accurate expression. The study
of the principles of composition, oral and written, is
not left to the later years; from the beginning, the
student is led to frame generalizations for her own
guidance, and to express her thoughts clearly and
logically.

Weekly themes are required in each of the four
years, consisting of descriptions and narrations from
the daily experiences of the pupils; of criticisms,
character sketches, and discussions, drawn from the
studies in literature. The third and fourth jyears
include much formal outline work.

122
