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.

14 Agnes Scott College

ADMISSION OF STUDENTS

All correspondence in reference to admission of students
should be addressed to the President of the College.

Applicants for admission should not be under sixteen years
of age. Candidates for advanced standing should be of an
age corresponding to this rule. Exceptions are allowed for
satisfactory reasons.

Testimonials of good character from responsible persons
are required. Certificates of honorable dismission from the
last school attended must be presented.

A deposit of $10.00 is necessary for the reservation of
space, which amount will be credited on bill rendered at
beginning of session. This fee will be refunded, provided
the President is notified of change of plan before August 1st.

Application blanks will be furnished when requested.

For entrance requirements and for description of entrance
subjects, see below.

For admission by certificate, see page 82. .

For entrance examinations, see page 8Jk.

ENTRANCE SUBJECTS

Candidates for admission to the Freshman Class must pre-
sent fifteen units of preparatory work chosen as follows:

1. Twelve required units, including three units in Eng-
lish, three in Mathematics, three in Latin, one in History,
and two in French or German or Greek.

2. One elective unit in any one of the following subjects:

Admission of Students

15

Latin, Mathematics, French, German, Greek, Physics, Chem-
istry.

3. Two elective units from among the following subjects :
French, German, Greek, History, Botany, Zoology, Physio-
logy, Physiography.

It is understood that in choosing the elective units no re-
quired unit may be counted also as an elective unit, and also
that elective units may be counted only once.

The fourth unit in Latin and in Mathematics will be ac-
cepted for entrance only by examination, when the student
does not continue these subjects in College.

Both Physics and Chemistry when not offered for entrance
must be taken in College, and when both are offered for en-
trance, an advanced course in one or the other must be taken
in College.

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

For convenience of reference the subjects that are to be used
in making up the entrance requirements may be grouped in
tabular form as given below, the figure following each sub-
ject in parentheses being the value of that subject in units.

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.

The requirement in English has two branches, Rhetoric and
English Literature. The study of English should be con-
tinuous throughout four years of the high-school course.

I. Ehetoric and Composition, one unit and a half. It
is hoped that at least one-half of the high-school course in
English will be devoted to the work in Composition and
Ehetoric, either as a separate study or in connection with the
work in literature, as it is a prime essential to success in any
branch of collegiate work that the student be able to express
herself, both orally and in writing, with correctness and clear-
ness. The subjects for examination in Composition will be
taken from the English Literature required for 1910-11.
The form of the examination will usually be the writing of
several paragraphs on each of several topics to be chosen by
the candidate from a number set before her in the examina-
tion paper in English Literature. The treatment of these
topics is designed to test the student's power of clear and ac-
curate expression, 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 one theme a week during the four years of her pre-
paratory course. She must be able to spell, capitalize, and

Admission of Students 17

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

2. There should be a systematic study of Ehetoric. Par-
ticular attention should be given to the structure of the sen-
tence, paragraph, and whole composition.

The following books are recommended for study in prepara-
tion : In Rhetoric, Herrick and Damon's Composition and
Ehetoric ; Scott and Denny's Composition-Rhetoric ; Genung's
Outlines of Rhetoric ; Hill's Foundations of Rhetoric ; Brook
and Hubbard's Rhetoric; Webster's English Composition and
Literature.

II. Literature, one unit and a half. The books pre-
scribed for reading and practice are :

of Elia; DeQuincey's Joan of Arc and The English Mail
Coach; Carlyle, (in 1909, 1910, 1911) Heroes and Hero
Worship, (in 1912) The Hero as Poet, The Hero as Man of
Letters and The Hero as King; Emerson's Essays (Selected) ;
Ruskin's Sesame and Lilies.

Thoughts from the Sea, Incident of the French Camp, The
Boy and the Angel, One Word More, Herve Riel, Pheidip-
pides. i

Study and Practice. This part of the examination pre- J
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

Admission of Students 19

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 ques-
tions involving the essentials of English grammar, and ques-
tions on the leading facts in those periods of English literary
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
Conciliation with America, or Washington's Farewell Address
and Webster's First Bunker Hill Oration ; Macaulay's Life of
Johnson or Carlyle's Essay on Burns.

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.

minor requirement in Latin and are advised to offer the major
requirement.

Minor Eequirement, three units. 1 or 2.

even from accredited schools, who do not wish to continue
Latin in college, are required to pass an examination on the
fourth entrance unit (d. 1 and 2).

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

should be paid to Greek syntax and to the use of good English

22 Agnes Scott College

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.

Admission of Students 23

conditional moods, as well as the inflection of the verbs,
should be thoroughly mastered.

The texts suggested for reading are :

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

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 2), 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.

24 Agnes Scott College

GERMAN

Minor Eequirement (admitting to German 1), 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 Marchen und Erzahlungen, Part L,
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 functions 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 2), 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 Hervey's Supplementary Exercises to

reproduction orally and in writing, based on texts read and
on Thomas and Hervey's German Reader 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)
memory work is emphasized, including poems from Hine,
Goethe and Schiller, and the more difficult conversation
idioms.

jSTote. 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 require-
ment will be admitted only by examination, which will in-
clude a test in conversation, since it is essential that students
of this grade be able to follow and to take part with com-
parative ease in a recitation conducted in German.

Third Language Requirement (admitting to second
semester of Elementary German), one unit. Thomas's Prac-
tical German Grammar to Demonstratives, page 101. At
least five stories from Geuber's Marchen und Erzahlungen,
Part I., used as suggested above under minor requirement.

or 25 pages of prose of equal difficulty. This requirement
includes careful drill in pronunciation ; the inflection of arti-
cles, nouns and adjectives; comparison of adjectives; the
formation and use of numerals ; personal and possessive pro-
nouns; principal parts and indicative mood of the strong
and weak verbs found in the grammar exercises and in the

26 Agnes Scott College

stories from Marchen unci Erzahlungen ; function of the
common prepositions; principles of syntax and word order
as illustrated both in translation and prose; the memorizing
of idioms of daily life as found in Guerber and in the gram-
mar colloquies; drill in the writing of prose sentences and
in simple connected oral narration.

MATHEMATICS

Minor Eequirement, three units.

Algebra, two units. Factors, common divisors and multi-
ples, fractions, imple equations with applications to prob-
lems, involution and evolution, theory of exponents, surds
and imaginaries, quadratic equations (including the theory),
systems involving quadratic and higher equations, inequali-
ties, ratio and proportion, variations, arithmetical and geo-
metrical progressions, binominal theorem for positive inte-
gral exponents.

At least two years with daily recitations should be given
to Algebra. The use of graphical methods and illustrations,
particularly in connection with the solution of equations, is
required.

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 one year with daily recitations should be given to
Geometry.

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

Admission op Students 27

Major Requirement, four units. To meet this require-
ment the candidate must present the work as given under
the minor requirement and in addition the following:

(1) Solid and Spherical Geometry including the text and
numerous original propositions and numerical problems.

(2) Plane Trigonometry. This course should be pre-
ceded by a short review course in Algebra.

Students not pursuing the subject of Mathematics in Col
lege will be given credit for the above fourth unit only by
examination.

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 Eoman 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.

It is strongly urged that every student offer Greek and
Eoman History for entrance.

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

c. English History.

28 Agnes Scott College

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.

It is strongly recommended that the preparation in His-
tory include, besides the study of a text-book, parallel read-
ing, use of a note-book, taking of notes, and practice in the
filling in of outline maps.

NATURAL SCIENCES

The student may offer one or two units from the five units
given below. Each should represent the work of one year
and should include a large amount of individual laboratory
work. This laboratory work should be directed by a com-
petent instructor and records made in a note-book, while
in the field or laboratory. The note-book, endorsed by the
instructor who supervised the work, must be presented before
the student can be admitted to examinations, or accepted on
certificate.

1. Physics. The amount of work required is repre-
sented by such texts as Gage, Millikan and Gale, or Hoadley.
The laboratory work must include, at least, thirty-five se-
lected exercises. One unit.

2. Chemistry. This course covers General Inorganic
Chemistry, embracing a study of non-metals and metals.

Admission of Students 29

Remsen, Williams', McPherson and Henderson are accepta-
ble texts. One unit.

3. Botany. This course should include the study of the
general laws of plant physiology, the fundamental principles
of plant morphology, the classification of the phanerogams,
and an investigation of the typical plants of the chief divi-
sions of the plant kingdom. The laboratory work must
occupy at least half of the time devoted to the study. The
work may be founded on such texts as Coulter, Bergen, Stev-
ens, or Leavitt. One unit.

4. Zoology. Eighteen types representing the principal
divisions of the animal kingdom should be studied and the
study of the living animal should always precede dissection.
The course embraces both Invertebrate and Vertebrate forms.
Such texts as Davenport, or Herrick are recommended. One
unit.

5. Physiography. This course embraces : The princi-
ples of Physiography as given in such texts as Davis, or Tarr,
field work through the course, the interpretation and use of
topographic maps and weather maps. One unit.

For the year 1911-12 the student will be permitted to offer
one-half unit in any of the following subjects. Each sub-
ject must be studied for five recitation periods per week for
eighteen weeks. The laboratory work is not so extended
as in the full units, but should represent at least one-third
of the time given to the study.

1. Botany. The course may be based on Bergen's Ele-
ments of Botany, or Coulter's Plant Relations and should
include simpler experiments in seed germination and plant

30 Agnes Scott College

anatomy and an herbarium of twelve or more plants should be
presented. One-half unit.

2. Physical Geography. The subject should be studied
with the aid of the best texts, as Gilbert and Brigham's,
Tarr's, Davis's. One-half unit.

3. Physiology. A course based upon Martin's Human
Body, or Foster and Shore. One-half unit.

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
(p. 14) in order to be admitted without condition; or by
passing on certain subjects she may be admitted with condi-
tions (see p. 31). For admission to advanced standing, see
page 36.

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 en-
trance twelve units chosen from the following list, the num-
ber after each subject indicating the maximum number of
units that may be offered in that subject : English 3, Latin 4,
Mathematics 4, Greek 3, German 3, French 3, History 2y 2 ,
Science 3. Of the twelve units required, five must be chosen
as follows: three in English and two in Mathematics. In
these five units, not more than one condition (see Condi-
tional subjects, page 36) will be allowed.

Admission of Students 31

Irregular students are required to take a minimum of fif-
teen 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 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

32 Agnes Scott College

which candidate passes satisfactory examination, hnt 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 History.

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 honorably dismissed.

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.

Admission of Students 33

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
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

34 Agnes Scott College

(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
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 page 30.) The
scope of the work required in these entrance subjects accords
with the requirements for admission prescribed by the Asso-

Admission of Students 35

ciation of Colleges and Preparatory Schools of the Southern
States.

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 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 with
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 without charge, provided they are taken according to the
schedule given below. Any candidate applying for entrance
examinations 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,
September 20. The September schedule is as follows:

CONDITIONED STUDENTS

In some cases students who have not had all the prepara-
tory 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 three of the fifteen 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 year's work, and provided
also that not more than two of the conditions are included in
the nine units required in English, Mathematics and Latin.
All conditions must be removed before the student enters
on the work of the Junior year.

Irregular students will be allowed conditions in three of
the twelve units required for entrance, provided the condition
in any subject (except entrance French, German, or Greek,

Admission op Students 37

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,
and the remaining one by the beginning of her third year.

CLASSIFICATION

The classification of all first year students is in the hands
of the Committee on Admission. The classification of all
students after the first year is arranged by the Committee on
Electives. After a course has been agreed on between stu-
dent and 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 Committees will consider reasons for a change of
course on the part of a student, especially where these rea-
sons are concerned with the student's health. The best in-
terest of the student is in every case the determining factor.

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

38 Agnes Scott College

DEGREE AND CERTIFICATES

BACHELOR'S DEGREE

The College will confer the Bachelor of Arts Degree upon
any student who satisfactorily completes the requirements
as given on pages 39-41. These requirements, embracing
sixty hours of recitation, cannot be taken in less than four
years by students who enter the Freshman class without con-
dition. Students will not be permitted to take more than
seventeen hours of recitation during one session.

The 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 partly prescribed
and partly elective, and the electives are given under restric-
tions that will insure a broad and liberal course of study for
each year.

The degree will not be conferred upon any student who has
taken less than one session of resident work.

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.

CURKICULUM 39

CURRICULUM

THE GROUP SYSTEM

A fundamental principle of the curriculum is that of the
group system, which comes into operation in the choice rf
elective courses. There are three groups :

I. The Language Literature Group.

II. The History Philosophy Group.

III. The Science Mathematics Group.

All the work of the Freshman year is required, but there.
are five optional groups of studies which Freshmen may take,
as indicated below, the choice of the group to be taken being
determined partly by the student's preference and partly by
her preparatory work.

Sophomores must take prescribed courses in Bible, Bio-
logy, and Language, as indicated below, in groups correspond-
ing to the groups of the Freshman year.

There is a required course in Bible for Juniors, and there
are required courses in Philosophy for Juniors and Seniors.

The student must choose elective courses sufficient to make
with her required courses sixty hours of work extending
through an entire year. Semester hours count as half-hours
in the sixty hour requirement for the degree.

The following rules govern the choice of elective courses :

1. All elective courses after the Freshman year must be
chosen with the advice and consent of the Committee on
Electives.

40 Agnes Scott College

2. , A candidate for the degree must show that she has
completed a major of at least nine hours in English, French,
German, Latin, History, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, or
Mathematics ; and three minors of six hours each, one in a
modern language and one in each of the two groups other
than that in which the major is taken. Courses that con-
stitute major and minor work are designated by heads of
departments with advice of the Committee on Electives, and
are indicated in the descriptions of the courses of instruc-
tion.

3. Majors must be agreed upon by students by the begin-
ning of the Junior year, and all elective courses must be
definitely determined upon by the beginning of the Senior
year.

4. Not more than six hours may be taken in one depart-
ment in any semester.

5. Students offering for entrance two languages other
than Latin, must continue one of these two languages in the
Freshman year. Students offering for entrance Latin and
only one other language must continue that other language
in the Freshman year. This rule comes into operation in
the choice of the group of studies to be taken in the Fresh-
man year.

6. A second language must be continued in College
through course 2, and if a third language offered for entrance
is taken in college it must be continued through course 1.

7. One year of a foreign language may be counted in
making up the requirements for the degree only when that
language is the fourth language that the student has taken.

Curriculum 41

A lecture course in personal Hygiene, one hour a week
for the first semester, is required of all first year students,
but does not count in the sixty hours required for the degree.

Every candidate for graduation must not only have com-
pleted the requisite number of hours, but also have attained
a grade as high as "C" on twenty hours (four being in the
Senior year) and a grade as high as "D" on ten hours (three
being in the Senior year), and a grade as high as "E" on
all the remaining hours required for the degree.

PHILOSOPHY AND BIBLE

Professor Armstrong.

In Philosophy, Courses 1 and 2 are required for the de-
gree. Courses 3 and 4 are elective and open to students
who have completed Course 1, but both must be taken before
either may be counted toward the degree and together they
count three hours.

In Bible, Courses 1 and 2 are required for the degree.
Course 1 is given for the present in both semesters, the work
of the second semester being an exact repetition of the work
of the first semester. This arrangement is made for the con-
venience of students and to avoid the necessity of sectioning
the class. Courses 3, 4, and 5 are elective and open to stu-
dents who have completed Course 1. Both 3 and 4 must
be taken before either may be counted toward the degree,
and together they count three hours. Courses 6 and 7 are
elective and open to all students above Freshman.

The College reserves the right to withdraw the offer of any
elective course in Philosophy or Bible not chosen by at least
five students.

HYGIENE

Dr. Sweet.

Lectures will be given once a week during the first semester
on personal and public hygiene. The course aims to teach
the proper care of the body, the means by which infectious
diseases may be prevented, and the principles of sanitation.
Whenever possible the lectures will be illustrated by the use
of lantern slides.

Attendance at these dectures is required of all new students,
but will not count in the hours required for a degree.

PHYSICAL TRAINING

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.

Every student is given a careful physical examination by
both the physical director and resident physician before en-
tering the department. When serious physical defects are
found the matter is referred to parents, and with their ap-

Coueses of Instruction 87

proval arrangements will be made for special corrective gym-
nastics at the director's prices. Special work is provided for
those who are physically unable to take all the class work.

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.

HEALTH

All the natural conditions of good health are found here,
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. 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 In-
firmary, nor for services of the nurse in ordinary cases. All
medicines must be paid for.

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

BUILDINGS AND EQUIPMENT
AGNES SCOTT HALL

This building was completed in 1891. 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, and class-rooms occupy the
first floor; the second and third floors are taken up with bed-
rooms, 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
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, completed in 1906, is a memorial to the late
Mrs. Eebekah Scott, wife of the late Colonel George W. Scott,
by whose munificient 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 contains
40 double rooms and 18 single rooms. 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

90 Agnes Scott College

halls, parlor, reception and sitting-rooms, and a beautiful din-
ing room. The building is heated by steam, lighted by elec-
tricity 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.

JENNIE D. INMAN HALL

This is a new residence hall, completed in 1911, 170x50 feet
and three stories high. It is built of faced brick and trim-
med with Indiana limestone. It contains thirty-eight double
rooms and fifteen single rooms. A wide veranda extends
along the entire front. The building faces West, thus insur-
ing that every room will get sunlight during the day. The
ventilation, lighting, heating and plumbing are in accordance
with best modern methods.

This building is the gift of Mr. S. M. Inman of Atlanta
and is a memorial of his deceased wife, Mrs. Jennie D. Inman.

with massive trimmings of Indiana limestone. Besides a lofty
and spacious reading-room, librarian's offices and special study-
rooms, it has stack space for twenty thousand volumes. It
is heated by steam and lighted by electricity.

The College Library, occupying the new Carnegie building,
consists of somewhat over four thousand carefully selected
volumes, exclusive of pamphlets, etc. The most approved card
index system of cataloguing and the services of a trained li-
brarian render all books easily available to students. The
reading-rooms are supplied with the leading magazines, scien-
tific, literary and educational, and with journals of music
and art. In addition to the general library, mention should
be made of the Scientific library in Lowry Hall, and of the ex-
cellent collections belonging to the two literary societies.

The library is destined to grow rapidly in the future as it
has been placed upon separate endowment foundation.

med with Indiana limestone. It is 100x50 feet, and includ-
ing the basement is four srories high. It has steam heat, elec-
tric lights, and hot and cold water. An adequate gas plant
will supply the laboratories with heat. One of the noticeable
features is the number of large windows. It has been plan-
ned with special reference to providing lecture rooms, store
rooms and laboratories for Chemistry, Physics, Geology and
Biology. On the left side of the main entrance is a bronze
tablet with this inscription :

"This Science Hall is perpetually endowed by Robert J.

The Biological Laboratory contains two laboratories, a lec-
ture room, a professor's office and library, a vivarium, a photo-
graphic room, a storage room and a museum. The work of
instruction and research commands the aid of suitable ap-
paratus, such as microscopes, microtomes, ovens, baths, charts,
and illustrative collections. There will be installed for next
year the latest improved projection outfit for this department.

The Chemical Laboratory is well supplied with chemicals
and chemical apparatus and the laboratories have every
modern convenience that could be desired. Besides a large
basement, there are five commodious laboratories, a lecture
room, a research laboratory, a professor's office, a library,
three storage rooms and two balance rooms.

The Geological department has the use of a lecture room
and laboratory, and a museum is now ready for equipment
and already a considerable number of fossils and mineral-
ogical specimens are on hand. This museum when properly
equipped will be of great value and interest to the students in
geology.

study hall and recitation rooms by the Academy. The build-
ing is heated throughout by steam, and supplied with hot I
and cold water.

General Information 93

THE ALUMNAE INFIRMARY

This is a well-built two-story frame house, located south
of Lowry Hall. 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. Sickness may occur anywhere, and
parents will doubtless appreciate the importance of the In-
firmary.

THE LAUNDRY

The steam laundry on the campus is amply equipped and
handles all the laundry of the college community.

THE POWER HOUSE

The College has a power house on the campus and thus
controls its own sources of heating and lighting.

SCHOLARSHIPS AND PRIZES

SCHOLARSHIPS

The W. A. Moore Scholarship Fund. Under the will
of the late William A. Moore, a Euling Elder of the First
Presbyterian Church, of Atlanta, the College received, in
1892, a legacy of $5,000.

94 Agnes Scott College

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 di-
rected in Mr. Moore's will.

The Alumna Scholakship. 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 "Alumna? Scholarship." The annual income from this
endowment is $60.00.

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

The Collegiate Scholarship. The College offers tu-
ition for the next session to the student, in any class below
Senior, who attains to the highest general proficiency. In
order to compete for this prize the student must pursue a
regular course. The scholarship is not transferable, and is
good only for the session immediately succeeding the one for
which it was awarded.

PRIZES

English Prize. In order to stimulate and encourage the
study of English a special prize is offered to the student in
the Junior or Senior class who presents the best essay on a
subject assigned by the professors of English. Conditions
under which the prize will be awarded are as follows :

professor in this institution, offers an edition of the "South-
ern Poets" as a prize for the best essay, poem, or story ac-
cepted and published by The Aurora, the College magazine,
during the current year. For conditions governing the award
of this prize the professors of English should be consulted.

The Laura Candler Medal. This medal is awarded to
the student of Sophomore, Junior or Senior grade who makes
the highest average for the year in mathematics. No student
who has not a minimum of fifteen hours will be allowed to

FELLOWSHIPS

Two fellowships are awarded by the faculty annually to
members of the Senior class. These fellowships carry with
them remuneration amounting to the recipients' entire ex-
penses for one year, including tuition in any department of
the College in which they may elect to continue their work.

The following conditions should be noted :

1. All applications for fellowships must be in the hands
of the faculty on or before April 15th of each year.

of returnable apparatus.

Eooms are either double or single. For double rooms, that
is for two occupants, there is no extra charge, but for a single
room an extra charge of $25.00 is made for the year.

No student will be received for less than a full term, or
the portion of the term remaining after entrance. The pro-
fessors 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

98 Agnes Scott College

of withdrawal on account of sickness the amount paid for
board and laundry in advance of date of leaving will be re-
founded, out not amount paid for tuition.

Students who register for any Special and afterward decide
to discontinue it, must give notice to the bookkeeper of such
discontinuance within thirty days from date of registration.

Written permission must be secured from the Dean before
a student can drop any Special.

All letters on business or concerning the general manage-
ment of the College, or concerning any matter affecting the
welfare or interest of students should be addressed to the
President.

Letters concerning the life in the domitories, or health,
or discipline should be addressed to the Dean.

No DEDUCTION FOR ANY CAUSE WILL BE ALLOWED STUDENTS
WITHDRAWING AFTER THE BEGINNING OF THE FOURTH
QUARTER.

All drafts, checks and money orders should be made pay-
able to Agnes Scott College. If remittance is by local check,
add twenty-five cents for exchange.

It is recommended that a deposit of $10.00 be made with
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.

It is hoped that parents will make only moderate allowance
to their daughters for spending money. When money is de-
posited 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.

General Information 99

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

FURNITURE

The College supplies the students' rooms with 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

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 aca-
demic. Its membership includes all the students. The most
gratifying results have continually followed the increase of
opportunity and of responsibility thus given to the students,
especially in the development of self-restraint, consideration
for the majority, and the true 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.

General Information 101

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 fos-
tering 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 every two weeks, and their programs con-
sist 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.

ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION.

Athletic sports, not including the regular gymnastic
classes, are managed by the Athletic Association. Inter-
class basket-ball is the leading sport in the fall and winter
months, while the annual tennis tournament is the spring
event. The new athletic field recently acquired by the Col-
lege affords excellent opportunities for outdoor basket-ball,
tennis, and field hockey. This field, situated conveniently
to the gymnasium, has been graded and put into good condi-
tion. It is to be surrounded by a privet hedge, which will
enhance its beauty and at the same time insure privacy.

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

102 Agnes Scott College

connected with the school, in each other and in the College,
to place them in a helpful relation toward it, and to arouse
and quicken the interest in Christian education.

President, Miss Lizzabel Saxon.

Vice-President, Miss Kathleen Kirkpatrick.

Secretary, Miss Mildred Thomson.

Treasurer, Miss Anne M. "Waddell.

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.

RELIGIOUS LIFE

Every effort is made to promote earnest and pronounced
religious life in the College. Students are requested to se-
lect 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 morn-
ing 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 mis-
sion study classes. Evening prayers are conducted in the

GENERAL INFORMATION" 103

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 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, addresses,
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.

HOME ECONOMICS

The College offers for the first time a course in Home
Economics. This important branch has been given a place
as a full department of study and has been placed in charge
of a full professor. The old Science Hall, which will be va-
cated when the science departments are moved into Lowry
Hall, will be renovated and refitted to accommodate the work
of Home Economics. Here laboratories will be provided for

104 Agnes Scott College

the study of foods, food preparation, home sanitation, nutri-
tion, and dietetics.

The department offers peculiar advantages to young women
during the college course which will fit them for higher
and wider spheres and enable them to apply the scientific
principles which they have studied in the other departments
of the College to the practical problems that arise in the
home, the most important problems that an educated woman
is called upon to solve.

The studies in this department will be strictly of college
grade under a professor of university training. All college
students will be given the opportunity to elect studies in
Home Economics and will be encouraged to do so.

SCHOOL OF MUSIC, ART, AND EXPRESSION

MUSIC

The School of Music offers through its various courses in
the theoretical and practical study of music, in connectiou
with studies in the College and Academy, adequate facilities
to fit students for a professional life, and also to provide for
the study of music as a part of general culture or an accom-
plishment. The aim is to cultivate a more intelligent ap-
preciation of the art, to understand its structure and its rich
and varied literature, to know the history of its development,
its place in the general history of culture, and to develop
the power of interpretation.

Since no special line of study can be successful without a
broad foundation, students are urged not to undertake the
study of music exclusively, until they have acquired the es-
sential elements of a good general education.

With this end in view, the work of this school has been
re-arranged, and this year, for the first time, courses are
offered, so that regular college students, working for a
degree, may include music as a secondary study, with full
credit for it, and special students of music may avail them-
selves of the training offered in the literary courses of the
College and Academy.

Department."

School of Music, Aet and Expression 125

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

Particular attention is given to hymn-playing, 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

School of Music, Art and Expression 127

ART

Louise G. Lewis.

The principle on which this department is conducted is to
maintain a high standard of efficiency in drawing and paint-
ing from objects and from life and to give the student an in-
telligent 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 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.

School of Music, Art and Expression 129

EXPRESSION

Shatteen Mitchell.

This course aims to develop the individuality of each stu-
dent by quickening the intellectual faculties and cultivating
the imagination, thus leaving 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 139

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, accredited to Agnes Scott College, and to the
best northern and eastern colleges for women. Its course
has been carefully arranged after the best modern methods,
and will be adapted to meet two felt needs: (1) To give a
thorough preparation for college; (2) To give a course of
real educational value to girls not 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.

140 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 de-
sire 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 Sab-
bath the resident students attend the Sabbath school in the
College chapel, conducted by the Faculties of the College and
Academy. Attendance at church service in the morning is
required. The Young Woman's Christian Association of the
Academy meets every Sabbath evening, has its Bible study
classes, and is an important influence in the spiritual life of
the school.

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 main-
tenance of proper habits. Honesty and order are the watch-
words of the school. To each girl there will be granted just

General Statement 141

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.

SOCIAL LIFE

Everything possible is done to keep the social life of the
Academy on the highest, happiest plane. The Faculty is
helped greatly in this by the various student organizations
the Y. W. C. A., the Academy Glee Club, the Athletic As-
sociation, the Hopkins Literary Society. Several social af-
fairs are given for the students by the Y. W. C. A. ; the Glee
Club has its annual concert and at other times adds to the
pleasure of the students; the Athletic Association touches
both the athletic and social life; the Hopkins Literary So-
ciety, meeting every second week, forms a center of literary
and social interest.

REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION

English. For the first }'ear's work in English, the appli-
cant should have completed satisfactorily a grammar of
ordinary grammar school grade. A thorough knowledge of
all the parts of speech, of classification of sentences, analysis,
parsing, punctuation and capitalization, letter-writing and
simple composition, is necessary for the rapid review of this
year.

Mathematics. To enter the first year's work in Mathe-
matics, the student must have completed satisfactorily the
Arithmetic of the eighth grade of the ordinary grammar
school.

142 Agnes Scott Academy

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.

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

Geneeal Statement 143

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 necessary, review work will be given to her in
one or both of these subjects.

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

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 Freshman Class of college
work. Students taking it are accepted without examination
by Vassar, "Wellesley, Smith, Mt. Holyoke, Randolph-Macon,
Agnes Scott Colleges. It contains all the subjects required
for entrance, gives to each the time demanded, and covers

the ground required. This course, therefore, meets the de-
mands 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.

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
substituted. Two options are offered: (1) a modern lan-
guage, (2) an English course including one science and his-
tory.

ENGLISH

Grammar, Rhetoric, 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.
