Agnes Scott College 13 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.

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.

Group VI (two to be selected). Coleridge's The Ancient Mariner; Scott's The Lady of the Lake; Byron's Mazeppa and The Prisoner of Chillon; Palgrave's Golden Treasury (First Series), Book IV, with especial attention to Words- worth, Keats and Shelley ; Macaulay's Lays of Ancient Rome ; Poe's Poems; Lowell's The Vision of Sir Launfal; Arnold's Sohrab and Rustum; Longfellow's The Courtship of Miles Standish; Tennyson, (in 1909, 1910, 1911) Gareth and Lynette, Lancelot and Elaine, and The Passing of Arthur, (in 1912) The Princess; Browning's Cavalier Tunes, The Lost Leader, How They Brought the Good News from Ghent to Aix, Evelyn Hope, Home Thoughts from Abroad, Home 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.

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.

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.

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.

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: Thursday, September 22. Botany 10:00 A. m. to 11:00 A.

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. 42 Agnes Scott College (/) X ft rd PH - += ft W CD 1*1 s !? 03 O a, H o3 bD , o ^ fa .

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. Outline of Gymnasium Course: First Year. 1. Marching. a. Military Drill. b. Balance Steps. 2. Floor work.

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.

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. and Emma C. Lowry in Memory of their Son William Mark- ham Lowry, Anno Domini, 1910." 92 Agnes Scott College 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. The Physics Laboratory contains a lecture room, a profes- sor's office and library, a dark room, two large laboratories, and two store rooms. This department will be made very attractive when the new equipment gets into place. "HE GYMNASIUM This is a three-story brick building. The gymnasium proper with shower baths and lockers occupies the entire ground floor. The second and third stories are occupied as 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.

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 contest. 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. 2. The faculty reserves the right to claim two hours a day of each fellow's time to be used in class-tutoring, private tutoring, or laboratory assistance. 3. The faculty reserves the right to withhold one or both 96 Agnes Scott College of the fellowships in case the proper standard of general ex- cellence shall not have been attained by the applicants.

In addition a deposit of two dollars is required of Chemistry students. This will be refunded at the end of the session except so much as is necessary to pay for breakage 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. DISCOUNTS When two or more boarding students are entered from the same family, a discount of five per cent, is allowed on total bills, except laboratory fees.

Branches under the head Special at catalogue rates. No DISCOUNT WILL BE ALLOWED EITHER BOARDING OR DAT STUDENTS FOR ABSENCE FROM ANT CAUSE EXCEPT SICKNESS," AND THAT ONLT WHEN THE ABSENCE IS FOR AS LONQ A PERIOD AS ONE MONTH. Parents must not expect to pay only for the time their daughters are in actual attendance. No student will be re- ceived for less than a quarter, and then only by special ar- rangement with the President. No reduction will be made for holidays. Students not re- turning after Christmas will be charged to end of term. Students remaining during Christmas holidays will be charged $6.00 per week for board. 100 Agnes Scott College 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.

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.

School of Music, Aet and Expression 125 From the beginning, pedal technic, registration and organ touch go hand-in-hand, together with pedal studies, leading to the modern writers and later to the great works of Bach.

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. 128 Agnes Scott College ART HISTORY A.

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. 144 Agnes Scott Academy TABULAR STATEMENT OF COURSE OF STUDY College Preparatory, first year.

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 Numerals refer to the number of recitation periods a week. 146 Agnes Scott Academy 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.
