AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE

The purpose which has prevailed at Agnes Scott since its
foundation has been to offer the very best educational advan-
tages under positive Christian influences the training and
furnishing of the mind in a modern, well-equipped 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 womanli-
ness which combines strength with gentleness and refinement.
It is thus the aim of the College 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 to interfere in any way with the
religious views or preferences 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.

Study and Practice. This part of the examination pre-
supposes the thorough study of each of the works named
below. The examination will be upon subject-matter, form
and structure. This requirement means that the student

description, exposition and argument in her own compositions.
In addition, the candidate may be required to answer
questions involving the essentials of English grammar, and
questions on the leading facts in those periods of English

by heart passages from all the poems she has read.

LATIN

Latin, four units. a, c, d, and e will each be counted as a
unit, provided each include careful training in prose so that
the four courses will cover the requirement in Prose Com-
position (see &).

a. Grammar: A thorough knowledge of the inflections;
the simpler rules for composition and derivation of words ;
syntax of nouns and verbs; structure of sentences, with
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 Csesar 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 through-
out each year should be devoted to prose. As a text-book,
Bennett's Preparatory Latin Writer, or Barss's Writing

Admission of Students 17

Latin, Books I and II, or D'Ooge's Latin Composition, is
recommended.

by the quantitative method. Two thousand lines of Ovid
will be accepted as a substitute for two books of the ^neid.

Students should be taugiht from the beginning to read
Latin aloud according to the Eoman method of prounciation,
and, throughout all the years of preparation, 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.

GREEK

Students may offer for entrance in Greek either the minor
or the major requirement. The minor requirement is counted
as two units, and presupposes a study of Greek during two
full years, five recitations a week. The major requirement
is counted as three units, and presupposes three years of

Recent review of subjects studied early in the preparatory
course is urged.

HISTORY

For entrance in History each of the following four subjects
is counted as one unit. Each unit represents the amount of
work which can be covered in five recitations per week during
one year, or in three recitations per week during two years.

a. Greek History to the Death of Alexander, and Eoman
History to 800 A. D. These may be offered together as one
unit, or either Greek History or Roman History may be
offered as one-half unit. In the latter case the subject
presented must have been studied during five recitations per
week for a half year, or for an equivalent time.

b. Mediaeval and modem European History, from 800
A. D. to the present time.

22 Agnes Scott College

c. English History.

d. American History.

Of these four units the student must offer one unit, and
may offer an additional one and one-half units. Note,
however, that a half unit is possible only in Greek History
or Eoman History.

The examinations will be based upon modern High School
text-books.

All students, whether entering by certificate or by exami-
nation, are required to present note-books containing

a. Summaries and outlines of text-book work and of
parallel reading.

h Outline maps filled in by student to show territorial
boundaries, location of important cities, and routes of
exploration.

These note-books must be certified by the teacher imder
whom the work was done, and must be accompanied by a
statement of the work covered.

It is strongly recommended that every student offer Greek
and Eoman History for entrance to college.

NATURAL SCIENCES

Students entering for the degree may offer one and one-
half units selected from the subjects given below. Irregular
students may offer two and one-half units selected from this
group. It is recommended that every student offer Physics
and Physiography.

Physiography, one4ialf unit. The elements of physiog-
raphy, occupying a half year, five periods per week. The
topics to be emphasized are: the development of t^^pical
land forms, the oceans, the atmosphere, and climate. Davis's

Admission of Students 23

Physiography, or Tarr's Physical Geography are suitable books
to use. A few field excursions should be given to observe the
processes of land sculpture and the types of land forms to be
found in the vicinity.

Physiology, one-half unit. A good text-book, such as
Blaisdell's Practical Physiology, which is suited to the second
year of the High School, should be used. The course should
extend through one-half year, five periods per week.

Botany, one-half unit. A half year, five periods per week,
in the third or fourth year of the High School will be re-
quired to complete the work assigned to this course. The
course may well be founded upon such texts as Bergen,
Barnes, Coulter, Stevens, or Leavitt. This work should be
so arranged as to furnish the student with general knowl-
edge of the nature and morphology of seeds, of the structure
of the various parts of the plant and their functions, of the
classification of the leading members of the most common
plant families. She should be able to use a manual for the
identification of any of the simpler Phanerogams. The
student is required to present drawing books and note-books
to show the character of the work and the method of in-
struction.

Botany, one unit. This course should extend through the
year, five periods per week, and may be based upon the texts
mentioned above, but must embrace more extended laboratory
work. At least one period of two consecutive hours per week
must be spent in the laboratory, or in the field. The student
must study six or seven experiments on important physiologi-
cal processes, must make record of actual observations of the
adaptation of plants to their environment, of seed dispersal,

24 Agnes Scott College

of cross pollination, and must have careful training in bud-
ding and grafting.

A herbarium of not less than twelve wild flowers of the
locality must be made and presented for examination.

This course must embrace also the study of at least five
leading groups of Cryptogams.

The student's laboratory note-books and her herbarium
must be presented before she can be admitted to examination.

Zoology, one-half unit. One-half of five periods per week
should be given to the study of some such High School
text-books as Jordan, Kellogg, or Linville and Kelly. From
six to ten animals should be dissected. Laboratory books with
notes and drawings must be presented.

Zoology, one unit. This course must extend through one
year with five periods per week. It should include a labora-
tory study of about sixteen types of animals, two of which
should be vertebrates, a comparative study of the skeletons
of the following higher vertebrates : alligator, bird, dog, man,
together with the field study, collection and classification of
a number of species belonging to some well defined group.

Laboratory note-books and the field collection of specimens
must be presented before the student will be admitted to the
examination.

Physics, one unit. The elements of the subject, as pre-
sented in Wentworth and Hill, or JVIillikan and Gale, should
be studied throughout one year, five periods per week. The
student should have practice in tihe solution of simple
problems. Forty experiments should be performed by each
student in the laboratory and the purpose of each experiment
should be clearly stated before the record of the results is
made.

Admission of Students 25

The laboratory note-book in its original form, endorsed by
the instructor and declared to be the actual work of the
student, must be presented before the examination.

Chemistet, one unit. This course should extend through-
out one year with, at least, three recitations per week and one
laboratory period of two consecutive hours per week. The
course may be based upon such text-books as, Henderson and
]\IcPherson, Williams, or Eemsen's (Briefer Course). It is
not advisable to attempt any qualitative analysis during the
year. The laboratory training must be under a competent
instructor and careful attention must be given to the setting
up and manipulation of apparatus. The laboratory record
must be made at the time the experiments are performed
and the note-books containing this record, endorsed by the
instructor, must be presented before the examination.

ADMISSION OF CANDIDATES FOR THE DEGREE

All candidates for the degree must enter either by certifi-
cate or by examination. If the candidate seeks admission
to the Freshmn class she must meet all entrance require-
ments (p. 12) in order to be admitted without condition;
or by passing on certain subjects she may be admitted with
conditions (see p. 31). For admission to advanced standing,
see page 26.

ADMISSION OF IRREGULAR STUDENTS

Candidates for admission who do not wish to pursue a
course of study leading to the degree are admitted by exami-
nation or by certificate. These students must offer for
entrance ten units chosen from the following list, the number
after each subject indicating the maximum number of units
that may be offered in that subject: English 3, Latin 4,

26 Agnes Scott College

Mathematics 21/2, Greek 3, German 3, French 3, History 21/2,
Science 21/^. Of the ten units required, four and one-half
must be chosen as follows : three in English and one and a half
in Mathematics. No condition (see Conditioned Students,
pp. 31-32) will be allowed in either of these subjects.

Irregular students are required to take a minimum of
thirteen hours of recitation per week, which may include
Music, Art, and Expression.

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 require-
ments of degree students.

ADMISSION OF SPECIAL STUDENTS

Candidates who have completed their collegiate education,
or who have some years prior to their application 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 students 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 entrance requirements of degree students.

ADMISSION TO ADVANCED STANDING

A candidate may be admitted to any of the higher classes
on the following conditions :

1. That she stand examination on all the subject* embraced

Admission of Students 27

in the course of the B. A. degree below the class for which
she applies. Credit will be given for any subject on which
candidate passes satisfactory examination.

2. When she comes from another institution of recognized
standing and desires to enter by certificate, she must present
detailed statement of work done, and, at the discretion of
the professor at the head of each department, may receive
credit for such work. Certificates must be presented from

ADMISSION BY CERTIFICATE

Agnes Scott seeks the support, cooperation, and sympathy
of all worthy secondary schools, recognizing as the surest
basis for advancing the educational interests of the South
the perfect coordination 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.

2. It is granted only on trial, and may be withdrawn at
any time if the work of the school is found to be unsatis-

factory. 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 instruction may neces-
sitate 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 fur-
nished by the College) shows the entrance work to have been
done satisfactorily, and the applicant to be able, in the prin-
cipal's opinion, to undertake college work with a reasonable
prospect of success.

4. Certificates will not be accepted for parts of a subject
completed by the applicant before entering the certifving
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 Sub-
jects (see page 13).

5. A certificate, in order to be valid, must be presented
within twelve months after the time of the applicants
graduation from the certifying school.

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

1. Schools 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 admission to the list
(upon blanks furnished by the College for the purpose) and
which have been examined by the Committee and approved
as to faculty, courses, methods, and equipment.

Admission of Students 29

3. Schools which have been examined by any of the insti-
tutions belonging to the Association of Colleges and Pre-
paratory 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 various preparatory
schools and the high schools of the South. The Association
of Colleges and Preparatory Schools of the Southern States
has instituted a system of uniform entrance examinations
vrhich 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 thfe secondary schools, by setting uni-
form standards for them and by encouraging them to work
together. In order to make this system effective it is neces-
sary for all the schools to give the final examinations at the
same time.

JSTot 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. 25-26.) The
scope of the work required in these entrance subjects accords
with the requirements for admission prescribed by the Asso-
ciation of Colleges and Preparatory Schools of the Southern
States.

30 Agnes Scott College

THE EXAMINATIONS OFFERED IN MAY

These are the uniform entrance examinations prepared
and offered under the auspices of the Association of Colleges
and Preparatory Schools of the Southern States. The Col-
lege will furnish sets of the questions (1) to teachers not
connected with accredited schools, (2) to accredited schools,
and (3) to other preparatory schools or high schools which
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 examination 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 to the schedule
given below. Any candidate applying for entrance examina-
tions after the times appointed for holding them will be

CONDITIONED STUDENTS

In some cases students who have not had all the preparatory
work necessary for entrance may be "conditioned" in those
subjects in which the deficiency 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 any subject (except the
entrance work in French, German, or Greek, when it is done
in College) shall not mean a whole yearns work, and provided
also that not more than two of the conditions are included in
the nine and a half units required in English, Mathematics
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 conditions 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 Mathe-

32 Agnes Scott College

matics. An irregular student who enters with conditions
must remove at least two before the beginning 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 Committee, no change will be
allowed except by the joint approval of the Committee and
of the professors whose departments would be involved in the
proposed change.

The Committee on Classification will meet at any time
to consider reasons for a change of course on the part 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 determining factor.

Degree and Certificates 33

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 34-35. 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 circumstances 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, therefore, is largely prescribed
and the electives are given under restrictions that will insure
a broad and liberal 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 2d, just preceding
the completion of the course, a thesis of not less than two
thousand words, prepared under the direction of the professor
of the department.

physiography. Stone Mountain, a splendid geological
problem for the student, is but a few miles distant.

The College will endeavor to keep a complete set of publi-
cations of the United States Geological Survey, as well as
those of the different states. Students will be expected to
inform themselves respecting the geology of the sections
from which they come.

PHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE

Peofessob Sweet.

1. Hygiene. The major portion of the course consists of
a brief description of the structure and functions of the
human body, with a thorough study of personal hygiene.
The last ten lectures will be given on the subjects of foods,
sanitation, modes of transmission and prevention of diseases,
the proper care of the home, care of the sick, and first aid
in emergencies. The aim of the course is to give the students
some practical idea of the needs and care of the body, and to
interest them in problems of public health.

Lectures and quizzes. One hour a week.
Required of all new students.

PHILOSOPHY

Pbofessob Abmstbong.

A. Psychology. The purpose of this course is to study
the elements of the science. Students are encouraged to do
their own thinking and to analyze and interpret their own
mental activities. Such lectures and explanations as seem
proper to illumine 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 reference in the
library for views of the subject either supporting or opposing
those advanced in the text-book or in the classroom work.

B. Ethics. The course in Ethics includes a study of
the leading theories of morals and of the extent of moral
obligation, with a view to distinguishing between the false
and the true, leading up to a sound theory of morals. 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 ap-
prehension of the fundamental principles of moral law, and
a sound psychology of man's free-agency, are fundamental
principles in the ethics taught in this course.

nected view of the whole, and that from the standpoint of the
book itself.

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

Two hours a week throughout the year.

Required of Juniors.

C. The New Testament. This course will consider the
New 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 world since the days of the Apostles.

Text-books: Burton's Records and Letters of the Apostolic Age
and Gaines' New Testament Outlines and Notes; Zenos' Compen-
dium of Church History.

D. The Teaching of the Bible This course is offered
to meet the growing demand for instruction 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 ascertaining what means are
allowable as aids in teaching the Bible.

PHYSICAL TRAINING

Miss Ross, Director.

The aim of the department is threefold: (1) Hygienic;
(2) ^Esthetic; (3) Corrective.

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

The ^Esthetic element is introduced by means of rhythmi-
cal exercises for gaining bodily discipline and general coordi-
nation. They teach beauty of posture, freedom and ease of
motion, and are invaluable for developing rhythm and grace.

By the Corrective work an effort is made to overcome 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 defects as flat-foot and spinal curvature, special ar-
rangements can be made with the Director.

In addition to the formal gymnastic exercises opportunity
is afforded all students to engage in such games as basket-
ball, field hockey, and tennis under the careful supervision
of the Director. All these games are played out of doors,
when the weather permits, and are a prominent factor in the

Courses of Instruction 63

general health of the students, besides involving moral train-
ing 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 approved 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 appointment
in the natatorium.

Every student is obliged to undergo a careful physical
examination both by the Physical Director and by the resident
physician before entering this department.

the climate free from extremes of heat or cold, and the
health record unsurpassed,

BUILDINGS

The buildings comprise the Main Building, Eebekah Scott
Hall, the Gymnasium, Science Hall, Westlawn, the Alnmnae
Infirmary, and the White House.

THE MAIN BUILDING

This building was completed in 1891 at a cost of $82,500.
It is constructed of brick, granite, and marble, is one hundred
and ninety-two feet long, fifty-four feet wide, and four stories
high above the basement. Parlors, ofl&ces, library, and class-
rooms occupy the first floor, the second and third floors are
taken up with bedrooms, while the fourth floor is used for
Music and Art.

The chambers are unusually large, arranged so as to admit
abundant sunlight, and in their construction especial atten-
tion was given to securing perfect ventilation. The furni-
ture and appointments are homelike and comfortable. While

Geneeal Information 65

luxury has not been studied, every convenience necessary for
health and comfort has been supplied.

Each floor is supplied with water, bath and toilet rooms,
electric bells, and ample hose and fire-buckets. A watch-
man is on duty all night.

The sanitation has been arranged with the utmost care,
and is regularly inspected and kept in order.

REBEKAH SCOTT HALL

This building is a memorial to the late Mrs. Eebekah
Scott, wife of the late Col. George W". Scott, by whose
munificent liberality the institution was founded. It is
constructed of brick with stone trimmings, and is one hundred
and seventy-nine by fifty feet, three stories, with a wing
running back eighty feet from the center. It is a residence
hall and will accommodate about one hundred students. With
the exception of a few single rooms, all the bedrooms are for
two occupants. All the double rooms have two large outside
windows. The halls are wide, with windows at each end.
On the lower floor are chapel, society halls, parlor, reception
and sitting rooms, and a magnificent dining room. The
second and third stories are entirely devoted to bed-chambers.
The building is heated by steam, lighted by electricity and
supplied with hot and cold water and sanitary plumbing.
A vtdde veranda runs the entire length of the building in
front, across one end and back to the wing. It is connected
with the main building by a colonnade. The cost of the
building and furniture was over $70,000.

THE GYMNASIUM

The gymnasium is a three-story brick structure, 40x80 feet.
The gymnasium proper, thoroughly ventilated and lighted.

66 Agnes Scott College

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
natatoriiun, 40x20 feet, including shower baths and pool.
The second and third stories are occupied as study hall and
recitation rooms by the Academy. The building is heated
throughout by steam, and supplied 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 devoted to
analytical and general chemistr}^ while the second story con-
tains the laboratories and classrooms 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 bathroom with hot and cold water, and with sanitary
plumbing, is conveniently located on each floor. The build-
ing 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 Alumnae have undertaken to donate this most im-
portant improvement. In recognition of their generosity and
affectionate interest in their Alma Mater, the Trustees have
named the building, The Alumnse Infirmary. Although
Agnes Scott's health record is excellent, yet sickness
may occur anywhere, and parents will doubtless appreciate
the importance of this Infirmary, which in its equipment
and appointments is an admirable private sanatorium.

General Information 67

THE WHITE HOUSE

This building, a two-story frame structure, is equipped
with modern conveniences, steam heat, electric lights, sani-
tary plumbing, and hot and cold water. It contains twenty-
five bedrooms, and has wide verandas on three sides.

HEALTH

All the natural conditions of good health are found here :
an altitude of 1,050 feet, pure water, fine drainage, and
splendid climate. The buildings are excellent, 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 prepara-
tion to prevent it and also to treat it if it comes.

The resident physician 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 known to preventive medicine to ward off sickness.
If sickness comes, she is here on the ground to render skilled
attention. The Infirmary, already described, is furnished
with every comfort and convenience of a modern 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 Infirmary under the resident physician, and
gives her entire time to looking after those who need her
care. No charge is made for use of Infirmary, nor for
services of the nurse in ordinary cases, nor for simple
medicines. But all prescriptions must be paid for.

In cases of protracted sickness or contagious disease parents
must pi'ovide a nurse at their own expense.

68 Agnes Scott College

LIBRARY AND LABORATORIES

The College Libraey occupies a large and finely lighted
hall in the Main Building convenient to classrooms, and is

the Eebekah Scott Hall there are a few single rooms for
which an extra charge of $25.00 for the session will be made.

No student will be received for less than a full term, or
the portion of the term remaining after entrance. The
professors are engaged and all arrangements made for the
scholastic year, and the College obligates itself to furnish the
advantages thus provided, for the session. The entering of
a student is a corresponding obligation on the part of the
patron to continue her to the end of the session. In the
event of withdrawal on account of siclmess the amount paid
for board and laundry in advance of date of leaving will be
refunded, hut not amount paid for tuition.

the bookkeeper to pay for books and stationery. These are
sold at the College at city prices for cash. Patrons must not
ask to have them charged and put on their bills, as no ac-
counts are opened on our books for charges of this kind.

Agnes Scott is not an expensive school, all things con-
sidered, and it is hoped that parents will make only moderate
allowance to their daughters for spending money. When
money is deposited with the treasurer for students it is paid
out on their checks, and no other account is kept by the
College except cancelled checks.

The College will not advance money to students.

The College exercises every precaution to protect property
of students, but will not be responsible for losses of any kind.

same family, a discount of five per cent is allowed on total

STUDENT AND ALUMNAE ORGANIZATIONS

STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION

This organization, based upon a charter granted by the
Faculty, has for its purpose the ordering and control of the
dormitory life and of most other matters not strictly academic.
Its membership includes all the students. The most gratify-
ing results have continually followed the increase of oppor-
tunity and of responsibility thus given to the students, espe-
cially in the development of self-restraint, consideration for
the majority, and the true cooperative college spirit.

YOUNG WOMEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION

The object of the Young Women's Christian Association
is to develop spiritual life among the students. This organi-
zation works in various ways to promote right living, and is a
prominent factor for good in the College.

LITERARY SOCIETIES

Two literary societies contribute much to the social life and
literary attainment of the students, and are valuable as a
means of cultivating ease of manner and expression, of foster-
ing a taste for good literature, and of developing social and
literary gifts.

The Mnemosynean Society was organized in October,
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, debates, and music.

The societies are using their funds year by year in build-
ing up excellent libraries for the benefit of their members.

78 Agnes Scott College

athletic association

Athletic Spokts, not including the regular gymnastic
classes, are managed by the Athletic Association. Excellent
term is 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 with the Agnes Scott Academy.

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

ALUMNAE ASSOCIATION

During the Commencement of 1895 the Agnes Scott
Alumnag Association was organized. The object of the Asso-
ciation is to strengthen the interest of those who have been
connected with the school in each other and in the College,
to place them in a helpful relation towards it, and to arouse
and quicken the interest in Christian education.

President, Miss Eachel Young.
Vice-President, Mrs. A. S. Edmunds.
Secretary, Miss Marion Bucher.
Treasurer, Miss Mattie Cobb Howard.

STUDENT PUBLICATIONS

The students issue the following publications:

The Aurora. This is a monthly magazine devoted to
the development of literary effort among the students.

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

General Information 79

RELIGIOUS LIFE

Every effort is made to promote an earnest and pronounced
religious life in the College. Students are requested to select
the church they desire to make their church home as soon
as practicable after arrival. 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.

All resident students are enrolled in the Sabbath school
conducted in the College by resident professors, and the great
mass of them attend regularly.

The Young Women's Christian Association holds a 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 own.
Besides there is a regular mid-week prayer meeting conducted
by visiting ministers.

SOCIAL LIFE

In many various ways the social life of the College is
brightened and made happy. The two literary societies do
much to cultivate the social side by receptions, music, ad-
dresses, etc. The different classes entertain each other, and
t!he Y. W. C. A. gives several receptions. The MacDowell
Club contributes much in a musical way, while the Dramatic
Club gives plays from time to *.ime throughout the year.

APPOINTMENT COMMITTEE

The Faculty has appointed a Committee with a view to
assisting Agnes Scott students in securing positions. All
of our graduate and other students who desire to teach are
invited to apply to this committee for registration blanks,
fill them out and file with this committee. Address, Miss
Anna Young, secretary, Decatur, Ga.

SCHOOL OF MUSIC, ART AND EXPRESSION

MUSIC

The courses in Music are designed to cultivate a more
intelligent appreciation of the art of music in its various
forms, to widen the acquaintance with its literature, and
to develop the power of interpretation. To accomplish these
ends, a large and competent Faculty is in charge, a broad
and comprehensive curriculum is offered, and a fine equip-
ment 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 carefully prepared. The programs
include papers prepared by members of the Faculty on im-
portant subjects in music, such as the biography and works
of the leading musicians of the world, and also musical
numbers rendered by the members of the club. Some of the
best talent in the city of Atlanta has been interested in the
work of the club and contributes much to its success. All
departments of music are represented in the club. Piano.
Organ, Violin, and Voice, adding thus a delightful variety
to the entertainments, and at the same time lending addi-
tional interest and value to the club for all music students.
The entertainments from month to month have proved a most
interesting feature of the life of the College.

School of Music, Art and Expression 95

In addition, a course of recitals by prominent players and
singers has been maintained during the session at a nominal
cost to the students. The attractions have been of high
order and of real educational value.

The proximity to Atlanta affords frequent opportunity
of attending special services of choirs and organists, in addi-
tion to the great artists vrho visit the city.

Since no special line of training can be successful unless
it have a broad foundation, students are urged not to under-
take the work of the School of Music exclusively/ 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 satis-
factorily.

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

This course, with 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.

B. Harmony. Formation of chords; their progression;
inversion of chords; non-harmonic tones; modulation;
analysis of chorals.

96 Agnes Scott College

C. Hakmont Continued. More detailed application of
Course 2; Harmonic accompaniment to given melody; ele-
mentary composition.

D. Counterpoint. Simple counterpoint in two, three,
and four parts; double counterpoint; analysis of standard
works.

E. Musical Form. A study of the various imitative
forms canon, fugue, etc., the suite, sonata and rondo forms,
and the larger forms of vocal music, with reference to their
historical development.

P. History of Music. (a) A rapid synopsis of its early
stages; beginning about the time of Palestrina with more
detailed attention.

G. History of Music. (h) A thorough study of the
most important epochs, with reference to the great composers,
their lives, works, and special relation to the progress of the
Art.

DEPARTMENT 2--PRACTICAL

A. Piano. From fundamental technique to highest profi-
ciency, with a careful study of literature for the instrument.

B. Organ. Only students who have had considerable
training on the piano and a fair knowledge of harmony
should undertake this course.

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

A strong feature of the course is the "Church Organist's
Department."

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

ART

LotriSE G. Lewis.

The principle on which this department is conducted is
to maintain the highest eflBciency in drawing and painting
from the antique, objects, and from life, and to give to the
student an intelligent appreciation of the works of the
masters both ancient and modern. Around this principle
are grouped the various departments of Art education, giving
in addition to technical training a knowledge of the historical
development 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-length figure; painting from still
life; outdoor sketching.

D. Drawing and painting from life; outdoor sketching;
exercises in composition.

Students can not enter an advanced class without standing
an examination on work preceding.

Excellent opportunity in the way of good models and
thorough instruction is offered those desiring to study china

General Statement 105

GENERAL STATEMENT

The Agnes Scott Academy is a college preparatory school
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 out earnest students, ready for
the hard work of college and of life; it wishes also that
these students may have the poise, simplicity and gracious-
ness 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 ar-
ranged 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 prepared 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 characterized
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 edu-
cational work. Only teachers of high and special qualifi-
cations will be employed. A high standard of scholarship
will be enforced.

106 Agnes Scott Academy

RELIGIOUS FEATURES

Girls in the Academy are at that period of life when an
education is most important for the formation and develop-
ment of character. Hence every thoughtful parent will desire
to know what are the religious 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 effort is made to fill the home
and the school with a spiritual atmosphere. On Sabbath the
resident students attend the Sabbath school in the College
chapel, conducted by the faculties of the College and
Academy.

ENVIRONMENT

The environment of a girl in the Academy is of great im-
portance. She will live in an atmosphere of refinement,
scholarship, and religion. A high moral tone pervades the
whole institution. Close and sympathetic relations are
gradually established between the girls and the teachers. The
spirit in which discipline is administered tends to develop
strong moral character. Only such restraint is exercised as is
necessary to secure the right beginnings and uniform mainte-
nance of proper habits. Honesty and order are the watch-
words 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 bring themselves into an earnest
and conscientious support of the administration will not be
allowed to remain.

General Statement 107

REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION

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

Aeithmetic. Thorough knowledge of common and deci-
mal fractions, denominate numbers, and mensuration, per-
centage. To accomplish successfully the first yearns work in
Mathematics, the student must have completed satisfactorily
Prince's Arithmetic by Grades, Book VI, 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 Montgomery'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 intermediate work
has been done. The assignment of work will be made by
subjects rather than by classes. The objects kept in mind by
the Faculty are (1) to require no repetition of work which
has been previously done in a satisfactory manner and (2)
to secure the completion of the course in as short a time as
possible.

Admission is granted in two ways: (1) by certificate; (2)
by test.

108 Agnes Scott Academy

1. Admission by Certificate. 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 deter-
mine the proper classification of the applicant in such sub-
jects, oral tests supplemented by written exercises are given
by the heads of the respective 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 thoroughness and the spirit of the
previous work, and the natural ability of the student. The
anxiety and embarrassment attendant upon entrance into a
new school is taken into account. Wliatever method of test
is used the full information asked of those who enter upon
certificate is required.

English Grammar and Arithmetic. Any student who.
in any part of her course, shows signs of weakness in either
English Grammar or Arithmetic will at once be thoroughly
tested; and, if necessary, review work will be given to her
in one or both of these subjects.

General Statement

109

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

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

DESCRIPTION OF COURSES OF STUDY

College Peepaeatoey. This course has been arranged
to give thorough preparation for the Freshman class of the
College. It contains all the subjects required for entrance,
gives to each the time 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 without
condition, but also fully prepare for the work before them.

Geneeal Couese. Not every girl expects to enter 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 lan-
guage, (2) an English course including one science and
history.

*Numerals refer to the number of recitation periods a week.

General Statement 111

ENGLISH

Grammar, Ehetoric, 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 com-
position, oral and written, is not left to the later years;
from the beginning, the student is led to frame generaliza-
tions for her own guidance, and to express her thoughts
clearly and logically.

Weekly and semi-weekly themes are required, 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
years include much formal outline work.

Literature. In general, the object is fourfold: (1) to
secure a ready apprehension of thought and feeling from the
printed page; (2) to give to this correct expression; (3)
to gain at least a slight acquaintance with classic literature;
