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 Chris-
tian 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 pos-
sible to those which obtain in that church. Special care,
however, is taken not to interfere in any way with the relig-
ious 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, how-
ever, 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.

ANNOUNCEMENT

The President and Board of Trustees have very great pleas-
ure in announcing that the magnificent sum of three hundred
and fifty thousand ($350,000) dollars has been subscribed to
the College for endowment and enlargement.

One hundred thousand dollars of the amount was donated
by the General Education Board of New York.

Twenty-five thousand dollars was donated by Mr. Andrew
Carnegie.

Two-thirds of the total sum was subscribed by citizens of
Decatur and Atlanta.

This announcement is of interest not only to the large cir-
cle of friends of Agnes Scott, but also to prospective patrons.
It insures the permanent existence of a standard college for
young women in the very heart of the South.

One half of the total amount is to be set aside as permanent
endowment. The other half is to be used for buildings, ad-
ditions and improvements. Thus we shall have a plant, and
endowment worth three quarters of a million.

entrance fifteen units chosen from the following list, the
number after each subject indicating the maximum number
of units that may be offered in that subject in making up the
entrance requirements: English 3, Latin 4, Mathematics 3,
Greek 3, German 3, French 3, History 2^^, Science 1%.

14 Agnes Scott College

Of the fifteen units required for entrance tliirteen units must
be chosen as follows: EnglishS, Latin 4, Mathematics 3,
French or German or Greek 2, History 1.

The entrance requirement work in French, German, and
Greek may be done in College after entrance, but will not be
counted toward the degree.

DESCRIPTION OF ENTRANCE SUBJECTS
ENGLISH

English, three units. The College entrance requirements
of the New England, Middle, and Southern States Associa-
tions of Colleges and Preparatory Schools constitute the en-
trance work in English.

I. Composition and Rhetoric, one unit and a half.
The subjects for examination in Composition will be taken
from the English Literature required for 1909-10. The form
of the examination will usually be the writing of several
paragraphs on each of several topics to be chosen by the candi-
date from a number set before her in the examination paper
in English Literature. The treatment of these topics is de-
signed to test the student's power of clear and accurate ex-
pression, and will call for only a general knowledge of the
books.

To meet this requirement in Composition:

1. There should be practice in writing, the equivalent of
at least fortnightly themes in the four years of her prepara-
tory course. She must be able to spell, capitalize, and punc-
tuate correctly; no candidate will be accepted whose work is
notably deficient in these respects. She must also have a
practical knowledge of English Grammar.

Admission of Students 15

2. There should be a systematic study of Ehetoric. Partic-

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
should have been trained to use simple forms of narration,
description, exposition, and argument in her own composition
In addition, the candidate may be required to answer qu^--
tions involving the essentials of English grammar, and ques-
tions on the leading facts in those periods of English literary

Admission of Students 17

history to which the prescribed works belong. The books
set for this part of the examination will be :

1909, 1910, 1911: Shakespeare's Macbeth; Milton's Lyci-
das, Comus, L' Allegro and II Penseroso; Burke's Speech on

As additional evidence of preparation the candidate 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

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 h).

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 em-
phasis upon relative and conditional sentences, indirect dis-
course, 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 prep-
aration should include a systematic study of the main prin-
ciples of Latin syntax, and one period a week throughout each
year should be devoted to prose. As a text-book, Bennett's
Preparatory Latin Writer, or Barss's Writing Latin, Books I
and II, or D'Ooge's Latin Composition, is recommended.

18 Agnes Scott College

c. Ccesar: Gallic War, any four books, preferably Books
I-IV. Equivalents, if prose, will be accepted.

d. Cicero: Seven orations, or six, if the Manilian Law be
one. The orations preferred are the four against Cataline,
the Archias, and the Manilian Law,

e. Virgil: ^neid, six books. So much of prosody as re-
lates 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 two books of the ^neid.

Students should be taught from the beginning to read
Latin aloud according to the Eoman method of pronunciation,
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 prep-
aration, five recitations a week. The ground which must
be covered is as follows :

1. For the minor requirement

a. Grammar: Inflections, etj^mology and derivation of
words, syntax of nouns and verbs, and structure of the sen-
tence as treated in White's First Greek Book or its equivalent,
must be thoroughly mastered. Constant attention should be
paid to translation from English into Greek.

Admission of Students 19

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 minor 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 Eequieement (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 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 conver-
sation.

It is essential that the candidate acquire the ability to
follow a recitation conducted in French and to answer in that
language questions asked by the instructor,

4. The reading of at least three hundred duodecimo pages
of simple French from four authors.

Candidates are strongly urged to use Eraser and Squair's
French Grammar, of which Part I. and the articles in Part II.
relating to the use of the auxiliaries and the subjunctive and
conditional moods, as well as the inflection of the verbs,
should be thoroughly mastered.

20 Agnes Scott College

The texts suggested for reading are :

Fontaine: Douze Contes Nouveaux; Schultz: La Neuvaine
de Colette; Daudet: Trois Contes Choisis; Malot: Sans Fa-
mille; de la Brete: Mon Oncle et Mon Cure; Lahiche-Martin:
Le Voyage de M. Perrichon; France: Abeille.

Note. If the time given to the preparation is less than
two years, with four or five recitations a week, an examina-
tion will be required even from students who present certifi-
cates from accredited schools.

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

1. A thorough knowledge of French grammar and syntax.

2. Ability to translate a connected passage of English of
moderate difficulty into French at sight.

3. Ability to read any ordinary French.

4. Ability to understand a lecture given in French ajid to
speak correctly in French on topics bearing on everyday life
as well as the ability to discuss the texts read.

5. The reading of at least seven hundred duodecimo pages
from as many as five authors.

The texts suggested are those found under Frencli B in the
section of this catalogue entitled Courses of Instruction. See
pages 48, 49.

Students are admitted to French C by examination only.

GERMAN

Minor Eequirement (admitting to German B), two
units. Thomas's Practical German Grammar, Part I. in full
or the equivalent in grammar and prose composition ; at least
ten stories of Guerber's ]\Iarchen und Erzahlungen, Part I.,

Admission of Students 21

used for memory work in the abundant idioms which this text
affords and as a basis for conversation and oral narration.
The reading in addition of at least 150 pages of prose from
carefully graduated texts. This requirement includes careful
drill in pronunciation and in reading German aloud; the in-
flection of articles, nouns, adjectives, pronouns, weak verbs
and most of the strong verbs ; the common uses of the subjunc-
tive and of modal auxiliaries, both in translation and prose;
a considerable drill also in the less common modal construc-
tions and idioms; familiarity with the function of all the
common prepositions, with the principles of syntax and word-
order; the memorizing of idioms of daily life and of simple
German poems; conversation; oral narrative; reading at
sight.

Note. It is expected that this work will include five reci-
tations a week for a period of two years. If the work is done
in less time than this, admission even from accredited schools
will be by examination.

Major Eequirement (admitting to German C), three
units. The full work as given under the minor requirement.
In addition: (1) Thomas's Practical German Grammar, Part
II. in full ; last half of Herveys' Supplementary Exercises to
Thomases Grammar; or the equivalent of these two books in
grammar, prose composition and syntax drill; (2) practice
in translating connected narrative into German, also in free
reproduction orally and in writing, based on texts read and
on Thomas and Hervey's German Header and Theme-Book,
or books similar in grade and in kind; (3) drill in sight
reading and in conversation ; (4) the reading of at least 500
pages of carefully graduated texts, one half of which should be
chosen from the works of Lessing, Goethe and Schiller; (5)

22 Agnes Scott College

memory work is emphasized, including poems from Heine,
Goethe and Schiller and the more difficult conversation idioms.

Note. If the third unit of the major requirement is of-
fered in addition to the full entrance requirement in other
subjects, it may be counted toward the degree. It is under-
stood, however, that this third unit includes five recitations
a week for one year. Students presenting the major requirp
ment will be admitted only by examination, which will include
a test in conversation, since it is essential that students of
this grade be able to follow and to take part with comparative
ease in a recitation conducted in German.

MATHEMATICS

Mathematics, three units.

Algebra, two units. Factors, common divisors and mul-
tiples, fractions, simple equations with applications to prob-
lems, involution and evolution, theory of exponents, surds and
imaginaries.

Quadratic equations (including the theory), systems in-
volving quadratic and higher equations, binominal theorem for
positive integral exponents, inequalities, ratio and proportion,
variations, arithmetical and geometrical progressions.

Plane Geometry, one unit. The subject as presented by
any of the best text-books. Much attention must be paid to
original exercises.

At least two years with daily recitations should be given to
Algebra, and one year with waily recitations to Geometry.

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

Admission of Students 23

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

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

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, how-
ever, that a half unit is possible only in Greek History or
Roman History.

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

All students, whether entering by certificate or by examina-
tion, 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 ex-
ploration.

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

24 Agnes Scott College

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, one-half unit. The elements of physiog-
raphy, occupying a half year, five periods per week. The
topics to be emphasized are : the development of typical land
forms, the ocean, the atmosphere, and climate. Da%'is's Phys-
iography, 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
Fitz's Physiology and Hygiene, 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 ar-
ransred as to furnish the student with general knowledge of
the nature and morphology of seeds, of the structure of the
various parts of the plant and their functions, of the classifi-
cation of the leading members of the most common plant
families. She should be able to use a manual for the iden-

Admission of Students 25

tification 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 instruction.

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,
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.

26 Agnes Scott College

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 Millikan and Gale, should
be studied throughout one year, five periods per week. The
student should have practice in the solution of simple prob-
lems. Forty experiments should be performed by each stu-
dent in the laboratory and the purpose of each experiment
should be clearly stated before the record of the results is
made.

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

Chemistry, 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
McPherson, 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
instnictor, 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 Freshman class she must meet all entrance requirements

Admission op Students 27

(p. 13) in order to be admitted without condition; or by pass-
ing on certain subjects she may be admitted with conditions
(see p. 32y For admission to advanced standing, see page 28.

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 oifer for en-
trance eleven 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,
Mathematics 3, Greek 3, German 3, French 3, History 2i/2,
Science 2i/2. Of the eleven units required, five must be

tional subjects pages 32-33) will be allowed.

Irregular students are required to take a minimum of thir-
teen hours of recitations per week, which may include Music,

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.

38 Agnes Scott College

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 subjects em-
braced 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, but applica-
tion for examination for advanced standing in any subject
must be made within two weeks of entrance.

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
the instructors in each department of the college from which
she comes, showing amount, character of the work, and time
given to it. Laboratory and note-books must accompany cer-
tificates of work done in Sciences and Historv\

3. The B.A. degree will not be conferred on any student
who has not done fifteen hours of work in residence for one
complete session immediately preceding graduation.

4. In every case the applicant must present certificate
signed by the president of the institution she last attended
showing that she has been honorablv dismissed.

Admission of Students 39

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 unsatisfac-
tory. 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 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 14).

5. A certificate, in order to be valid, must be presented

30 Agnes Scott College I

within twelve months after the time of the applicant's gradu-
ation 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.

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 list.

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
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 secondary' schools, by setting uni-
form standards for them and by encouraging them to work

Admission op Students 31

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.

Not 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. 26, 27.) 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.

THf 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 College
will furnish sets of the questions (1) to teachers not con-
nected 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 recommended
that these examinations be set on the dates assigned as the
regular final examinations. The examination papers vnth
pledge attached and endorsed by the principal should be
mailed to the President.

These examinations will be held also at the College on the
respective dates named by the Association.

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-

32 Agnes Scott College

tions after the times appointed for holding them will be
charged a fee of $5.00. All candidates expecting to take
examinations should arrive at the College by noon Tuesday,

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 fifteen units required for

Admission of Students 33

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 year's work, and provided
also that not more than two of the conditions are included in
the ten 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 eleven 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 not more than one condition is in-
cluded in the five units required in English and Mathematics.
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 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

34 Agnes Scott College

best interest of the student is in every case the determining
factor.

New students must be definitely classified within two weeks
after entrance.

Degkee of Certificates 35

DEGREE AND CERTIFICATES

BACHELORS DEGREE

The College will confer the Degree of Bachelor of Arts
upon any student who satisfactorily completes the course of
study offered on pages 36-37. 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 stndent 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.

journals are kept on file and other biological literature will
be added as the funds will allow.

GEOLOGY

Peofessor Arbuckle.

In this department recitations and class work are supple-
mented by assigned readings, laboratory work and excursions.
This section of Georgia presents some very interesting
features for geological students. The shifted divides of north
Georgia and South Carolina and the belted coastal plain of
south Georgia and Alabama furnish excellent studies in
physiogTaphy. Stone Mountain, a splendid geological prob-
lem 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.

A. 1. General Geology. This course is designed to give
a general understanding of the character of the earth's his-

60 Agnes Scott College

tory, and embraces physiographic, dynamic, structural, and
historical Geology.

Text-books: LeConte's Geology, or W. B. Scott's Elements of
Geology.

Books of Reference: Lyell's Principles of Geology; Geikie's Text-
book of Geology.

Eecitations, three hours a week throughout the year.

2. Mineralogy and Crystallography. This is a very
elementary laboratory course, which is so directed by the
instructor as to make the student familiar with the most
common minerals and crystal forms and the methods of
identifying them.

Books of Reference: Dana's Text-book of Mineralogy, and G. W.
Williams's Elements of Crystallography.

Laboratory work, three hours a week during one semester.
Open to Juniors and Seniors.

Through the generosity of Mr. N. P. Pratt, Dr. D. A.
Shumate, Col. Geo. W. Scott, and others, a mineralogical
cabinet of over three hundred specimens has recently been
added to this department, which will be of great value to the
geological students.

PHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE

Dr. 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 dve the students

Courses op Instruction 61

3ome 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.

2, Physiology. This course includes a study of the
various systems of the body, and will be carried on by
lectures, text-book, laboratory work and collateral reading.

Two hours a week recitations, two hours laboratory work.

PHILOSOPHY

Professor Armstrong.

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 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 of
reference.

Two hours a week throughout the year.
Required' of Juniors.

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
iind the true, leading up to a sound theory of morals. The

63 Agnes Scott College

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 au-
thority and supremacy of conscience, the intuitional appre-
hension 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.

Text-books: Valentine's Theoretical Ethics and some other to be
eelected; various books of reference.

Two hours a week throughout the year.

Required of Seniors.

C. Sociology. The purpose of this course is to acquaint
the student with the principal subjects which this science
endeavors to treat, and also with the more important results
already attained. No more practical study could be offered
young women, many of whom in a few years will be dealing
directly with sociological problems in administering charitable
organizations and other organs for social service.

Text-books: Wright's Practical Sociology; various books of ref-
erence.

Two hours a week throughout the year.
Open to those who have taken course A.

D. Political Economy. The object of this course is
to give a clear-cut view of the principles of Political Economy
in their relation to real facts. The subject is treated under
the three great branches of Production, Exchange, and Dis-

New Testament Outline and Notes; Tarbell's Palestine in the Time
of Christ.

Two hours a week throughout the year.

Required of Sophomores.

B. The Old Testament. This course begins with a
brief study of the geography and chronology of the Old
Testament. Only a rapid survey of the contents of the book
is attempted, but the aim is to have the student gain a con-
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

64 Agnes Scott College

after the gospels, which gives a record of the Kingdom of
Grod 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' Compendium
of Church History.

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 mis-
sionaries. 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 allow-
able as aids in teaching the Bible.

Text-books: Bryan's Basis of Practical Teaching; Gregory's Seven
Laws of Teaching; See's Teaching of Bible Classes; various books
of reference.

Two hours a week throughout the course.

Open to those who have taken course A.

Of the courses C and D only one will be given next session.

PHYSICAL TRAINING

Miss ]\Ierbimax, Director.

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

Courses of Instruction 65

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, spinal survature, and forward
shoulders, special arrangements can be made with the Di-
rector.

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 supeiTision
of the Director. All these games are played out of doors,
when the weather permits, and are a prominent factor in the
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

66 Agnes Scott College

physician before entering this department. When serious
physical defects are discovered, the matter will be taken up
with parents, and with their approval arrangements will be
made for special corrective gymnastics at teachers' prices.

General Information 67

GENERAL INFORMATION

LOCATION

The College is located in the town of Decatur, which is on
the Georgia railroad, six miles east of Atlanta. It is con-
nected with the city by two electric lines and steam cars.
The elevation of the town is 1,050 feet, the water freestone,
and the climate free from extremes of heat or cold.

BUILDINGS

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

THE MAIN BUILDING

This building was completed in 1891 at a cost of $83,500.
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, offices, 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

68 Agnes Scott College

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.

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 Colonel George W. Scott, by whose
municificent 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 beautiful 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 wide 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 gjannasium proper, thoroughly ventilated and lighted.

General Information 69

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 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 chemistry, while the second story con-
tains the laboratories and class-rooms for biology, and physi-
ology.

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.

In recognition of their generosity and affectionate interest
in their Alma Mater, the Trustees have named the building,
The Alumnae Infirmary. Although Agnes Scott's health
record is excellent, yet sickness may occur anj^where, and
parents will doubtless appreciate the importance of this' In-
firmary, which in its equipment and appointments is an ad'
mirable private sanatorium.

70 Agnes Scott College

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.

The sanitation of all the buildings receives the utmost care
and is kept in perfect condition.

NEW BUILDINGS.

The buildings are connected with a watchman's clock and
the night watchman is required to make hourly rounds.

An architect is now preparing the plans for a splendid new
dormitory. Work on this building will begin as soon as pos-
sible and it is expected to be ready for occupancy by Novem-
ber, 1910.

The new Carnegie Library Building will be pushed to com-
pletion as rapidly as possible.

HEALTH

All the natural conditions of good health are found here:
an altitude of 1,050 feet, fine drainage, and splendid climate.
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 lectures to the student body on per-
sonal and sanitary hygiene, and uses every means known to
preventive medicine to ward off sickness. If sickness comes,
she is here on the grounds to render skilled attention. The
Infirmar}^, already described, is furnished with every comfort
and convenience of a modern hospital and is kept specially for
the sick. A trained nursCj a graduate of one of the best

General Information 71

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. No charge is
made for use of Infirmary, nor for "services of the nurse in
ordinary cases. All prescriptions must be paid for.

In cases of protracted sichness or contagious disease parents
must provide a nurse at their own expense.

LIBRARY AND LABORATORIES

The College Library occupies a large and finely lighted
hall in the Main Building convenient to class-rooms, and is
furnished with every convenience. Great care has been taken
in the selection of books to equip every department with the
best reference books. The whole collection is standard, choice,
and modern, containing a minimum of rubbish. The library
has been catalogued according to the most approved card
system, thus rendering the books easily available for 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 magazines, scientific, edu-
cational, literary, music and art journals, and also quite a
number of the best church papers.

In addition to the general College library, mention should
be made of the Scientific library in Science Hall, and the
small but excellent libraries belonging to the two literary'
societies.

The Laboratories are located in Science Hall and Main

Min-

72 Agnes Scott College

Building, and comprise Chemical, Physical, Biological,
eralogical and Physiological Laboratories.

The Chemical Laboratory is well equipped for general
experimentation, having a good stock of inorganic and
organic chemicals, a complete assortment of the necessary
laboratory apparatus and convenient laboratory desks, which
are supplied with gas, hot and cold water, air blast, labora-
tory burners, and furnaces. 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 Laboratory occupies rooms in the basement
of the Main Building, a large room well adapted to general
experimentation, and a storage room. The laboratorv' has
convenient desks supplied with water and gas, and also stone
pillars for galvanometers and balances. The storage room
contains modern apparatus adapted to experiments in Me-
chanics, Heat, Sound, Light, and Electricity.

The Biological Laboratory occupies a beautifully
lighted room on the second floor of Science Hall. Here are
found the best compound microscopes, dissecting implements,
microtomes, staining and imbedding apparatus, constant
temperature baths, cages for insect culture, aquaria, and
many other conveniences for the study of animal and plant
life. The museum contains a collection of type specimens
of zoological study, and a complete herbarium of the flower-
ing plants in Georgia is in course of preparation by the
students of botany.

1892, a legacy of $5,000.

The will of Mr. Moore provides that "this sum shall be
held as a permanent fund or endowment for the education at
this College of worthy girls of Presbyterian parents who are
unable to provide a collegiate education for their daughters,"
the same to be permanently invested, and only the interest
used.

Scholarships under this fund are annually awarded as
directed in Mr. Moore's will. ^

The Alumnae Scholarship. The Alumnae have caught
the spirit of helpfulness which characterizes their Alma Mater
and have given $1,000 to endow a scholarship which is known
as the "Alumnse Scholarship." The annual income from this
endowanent is $60.00.

Mr. W. a. Speee, of Atlanta, has given $500.00 to the
general endowment fund as a memorial to his mother, Mrs.
Aurelia E. Speer.

ask to have them charged and put on their bills, as no ac-
counts are opened on our books for charges of this kind.

sidered, and it is hoped that parents will make only moderate
allowance to their daughters for spending money. Wlien

out on their checks, and no other account is kept by the
College except cancelled checks.

furniture

The College supplies the students' rooms Anth bedstead,
bureau, wardrobe, washstand, chairs, mattress, pillows and
crockery. Each student should bring with her sheets,
blankets, counterpanes, pillow-cases (35x22), towels, napkins,
napkin-ring, teaspoon, and any articles, as rugs, curtains, etc..
of use or ornament desired for her room. The bedclothing
should be the size used for double or three-quarter beds.

All articles, including trunks, must be plainly and durably
marked with the name of the owner. Failure to comply with
this requirement causes great inconvenience and sometimes
loss.

STUDNET 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 continiially 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.

Geneeal Information 81

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 maimer 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 building
up excellent libraries for the benefit of their members.

ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION

Athletic Sports, not including the regular g}'mnastic
classes, are managed by the Athletic Association. Excellent
tennis courts are controlled by the Association, and basket-
ball is played both in the gymnasium, and on the outdoor
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
Alumnae 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,

82 Agnes Scott College

to place them in a helpful relation toward it, and to arouse
and quicken the interest in Christian education.

President, Mrs. James 0. Spear, Jr.

Vice-President, Miss Anna May Stevens.

Secretary, Miss Lizzabel Saxon.

Treasurer, Miss Mec Young Maclntyre.

STUDENT PUBLICATIONS

The students issue the following publications :
The Auroea. ^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.

RELIGIOUS LIFE

Every effort is made to promote an earnest and pronounceil
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 x\ssociation 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.

General Information 83

Besides there is a regular mid-week prayer meeting conducted
by visiting ministers.

SOCIAL LIFE

In various ways the social life of the College is bright-
ened 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
the 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 time 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.

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 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 carefully prepared. The programs in-
clude papers on important subjects and musical numbers 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
contribute much to its success. All departments of music
are represented in the club, 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 meetings from month to month have proved a most inter-
esting feature of the life of the College.

The proximity to Atlanta affords frequent opportunity of

School of Music, Aet and Expression 101

attending special services of choirs and organists, and of
hearing the great artists who visit the city.

Since no special line of training can be successful without
a hroad 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.

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

DEPARTMENT 1THEORETFCAL

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; analy-
sis of chorals.

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

102 Agnes Scott College

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.

F. History of Music. (a) A rapid S5mopsis of its early
stages ; beginning about the time of Palestrina with more de-
tailed attention.

G. History of Music. (6) A thorough study of the
most important epochs, with reference to the great com-
posers, 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 intelligent
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 modern writers and later to the great work of Bach.

School of Music, Art and Expression 103

Particular attention is given to hymn-playing, accompani-
ments for solo and choir, modulation, transposition and im-
provisation.

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 Bartholmew will give a series of organ recitals during
the year.

C. Violin. The training is according to the most modern
and approved methods. Facilities will be afforded for con-
certed playing, and advanced students of the piano may have
opportunity for study of ensemble music.

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

Classes in Sight-Singing offer opportunity for practice in
sight-reading and for the study of part-songs. Membership
in these classes is required of all voice students, and open to
all others who have good voices.

ADMISSION

a. Candidates for the B.A. degree who expect to spend
four years in College may take a limited amount of work in
Music, provided they obtain each year the permission of the
Classification Committee.

104 Agnes Scott College

h. Candidates for the B.A. degree who wish the certificate
of the School of Music should plan to devote five years to the
College course.

c. Students not candidates for the B.A. degree who desire
to specialize in Music must meet the requirements prescribed
for the admission of irregular students to the Freshman class.

Such students will be required to take a minimum of thir-
teen* hours of recitation a week.

One hour is equivalent to one recitation period per week for one
year.

d. Students not candidates for the B.A. degree who wish
the certificate of the School of Music in Piano, Organ, Violin
or Voice, must comply vsdth the conditions laid down in c.
They are required to take the equivalent of English A and B,
two years in a modern language, and Courses B, C, D, E, F,
and G of Department I. They must read well at sight, and
must be able to give satisfactorily in public a program subject
to the approval of the Music Faculty.

The time occupied in study for the certificate depends upon
the talent and proficiency of the student at entrance, and upon
her subsequent development.

Music Scholarships. Two scholarships are given; one
in piano-playing and one in voice culture. They are awarded
on Commencement Day to those students who have made the
bst records in these departments for the year.

Three one-hour periods of piano practice are equivalent to one of
recitation.

School of Music, Aet and Expression 106

ART

Louise G. Lewis.

The principle on which, this department is conducted is to
maintain a high standard of efl&ciency in drawing and paint-
ing from ohjects and from life and to give the student an in-
telligent appreciation of the works of the masters both ancient
and modem.

Around this principle are grouped the various depaitments
of art education, giving in addition to technical training a
knowledge of the historical development of Art, theory of de-
sign 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.

Opportunity in the way of excellent examples and thorough
instruction is offered those desiring to study the various lines
of decorative painting.

Art Department who have finished satisfactorily the course as
prescribed and have in addition the same literary attainment
as required in the Department of Music.

Aet Scholaeship. Tuition in the Art Department of the

for this scholarship who has not been a diligent student in
the Art Department for the entire session.

EXPRESSION

Shatteen Mitchell.

This course aims to develop the individuality of each stu-
dent by quickening the intellectual faculties and cultivating

School of Music, Akt and Expression 107

the imagination, thus leading her to express her thought ac-
cording to her own interpretation.

Special attention is given to the principles of good reading
and vocal expression. Selections from the best authors are
chosen, and students are given opportunity, in class work, for
practice in sight-reading. Private instruction is also given,
including special drill in recitation.

General Statement 113

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 atmos-
phere in which girls can gain self-control, a sense of responsi-
bility 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 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 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 Jjigh-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.

114 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 Academ}', 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 grad-
ually 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 115

REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION

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

Arithmetic. Thorough knowledge of common and deci-
mal fractions, denominate numbers, mensuration, and per-
centage. To accomplish successfully the first year's 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 Frj^e's, or Tarr and McMurra/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 (3)
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.

116 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 ever}- 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. Whatever 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 necessar}^, review work will be given to her in
one or both of these subjects.

General Statement

117

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 sum-

mer.

DESCRIPTION OF COURSES OF STUDY

College Preparatory. This course has been arranged
to give thorough preparation for the Fresliman class of the
College. It contains all the subjects required for entrance,
gives to each the time demanded, and i^pvers 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.

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

General Statement 119

General Course. 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 sub-
stituted. Two options are offered: (1) a modern language,
(2) an English course including one science and history.

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;
(4) to foster a love of good reading.

The course arranged gives the College Entrance Eequire-
ments for 1909, 1910, 1911.
