Agnes Soott College 13 AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE The purpose which has prevailed at .Agnes Scott since its foundation has been to ofEer 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 ideal. 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 helow. For admission by certificate, see page 32. For entrance examinations, see page S3. 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 op 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, Physiol- ogy, 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, Ehetoric and English Literature. The study of English should be con- tinuous throughout four years of the high-school course. I Khetorio 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 Rhetoric, 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 1911-12. 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- Admission of Students 17 paratory course. She must be able to spell, capitalize, and punctuate correctly ; no candidate will be accepted whose work is notably deficient in this respect.

Study and Practice. This part of the examination pre- supposes the thorough study of each of the works named below. The examination will be upon subject-matter, form, and structure. This requirement means that the student should have been trained to use simple forms of narration, Admission op Students 19 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.

ADMISSION TO ADVANCED STANDING A candidate may be admitted to any of the higher classes on the following conditions: 1. That she stand examination on all the subjects em- braced in the course of the B.A. degree below the class for which she applies. Credit will be given for any subject on which candidate passes satisfactory examination, but applica- tion for examination for advanced standing in any subject must be made within two weeks of "entrance. 2. When she comes from another institution of recognized standing and desires to enter by certificate, she must present detailed statement of work done, and, at the discretion of the professor at the head of each department, may receive credit for such work. Certificates must be presented from the instructors in each department of the college from which she comes, showing amount, character of the work, and time given to it. Laboratory and note-books must accompany cer- tificates of work done in Sciences and 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. 32 Agnes Scott College 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. 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 Admission of Students 33 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 (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 34 Agnes Scott College 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- 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. Admission of Students 35 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 17. The September schedule is as follows: TntJESDAY, Septembeb 19. Botany 10:G0 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 36 Agnes Scott College 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, 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. Admission of Students 37 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, can not 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. CUREICULUM 39 CURRICULUM THE GROUP SYSTEM A fundamental principle of the curriculum is that of the group system, which comes into operation in the choice of 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 four 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, Biol- ogy, 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 modem 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. CUREICULUM 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 Lj CO ^ -S rt J^ o .H a> m OJ oc 2 3 5i fin 03 a, o 1^ o ^ O) QJ o ^ O) o '-' ^-1 o 3 1- ^ _ i - 5P m fH ^ t^ S ES fl > bo PI 5H to Pi SO H O !2i .CI o OJ o ^ fcJ3 f^l Pi cu SK p o ri ^ rt n o ^ CO rd 0) H w o ;-!

Whenever possible the lectures will be illustrated by the use of lantern slides. Attendance at these lectures is required of all new students, but will not count in the hours required for a degree. PHYSICAL TRAINING The aim of this department is fourfold: (1) Hygienic; (2) Aesthetic; (3) Corrective; (4) Eecreative. The Hygiene exercises aim to bring about increased bodily vigor, and the healthy development of the individual. The Aesthetic element is introduced by means of rhythmical exercises, to gain bodily discipline, muscular coordination, and to develop grace and the sense of rhythm. The Corrective exercises aim to overcome bad habits of pos- ture, and to improve the carriage of the individual. The Eecreative element is introduced through games and folk games. Every student is given a careful physical examination, both by the resident physician and the physical director before entering this department. Where serious physical defects are found, the matter is referred to the parents, and, with their approval, arrangements will be made for special corrective gymnastics for which there is an extra charge.

Agnes Scott College 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 occurs 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 diseases parents must provide a nurse at their own expense.

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, and electric bells. 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 j\irs. 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 halls, parlor, reception and sitting-rooms, and a beautiful din- ing room. The building is heated by steam, lighted by elec- 90 Agnes Scott College 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. THE WHITE HOUSE This is a two-story frame building with wide verandas on three sides. It is equipped with every modern convenience, steam heat, electric lights, sanitary plumbing, and hot and cold water. It contains twelve bed-rooms, all on the second floor. The first floor has been rearranged and refitted to pro- vide a commodious and beautiful dining-room for the resi- dents of Inman Hall. THE CARNEGIE LIBRARY This building, completed in 1911, is the gift of Mr. An- drew Carnegie. It is a two-story structure seventy-two feet in length by fifty feet in width, constructed of faced brick 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. General Information 91 The College Library, occupying the new Carnegie building, consists of about five thousand carefully selected volumes, exclusive of pamphlets, etc. The most approved card index system of cataloguing and the services of a trained librarian render all books easily available to students. The reading- rooms are supplied with the leading magazines, scientific, 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 excellent 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. LOWRY HALL This building, completed in 1911, is built of brick and trim- med with Indiana limestone. It is 100x50 feet, and includ- ing the basement is four stories high. It has steam heat, elec- tric lights, and hot and cold water. An adequate gas plant supplies the laboratories with heat. It has been planned with special reference to providing lecture rooms, store rooms, and laboratories for Chemistry, Physics, Geology, and Biol- ogy. On the left side of the main entrance is a bronze tablet with this inscription: "This Science Hall is perpetually endowed by Eobert J. and Emma C. Lowry in Memory of their Son William Mark- ham Lowry, Anno Domini, 1910." 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. 92 Agnes Scott College 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 being equipped and already a considerable number of fossils and mineralogical specimens are on hand. This museum is of great value and interest to the students in geology. The Physics Laboratory contains a large lecture room, a professor's office and reference library, a dark room, two large laboratories, and two store rooms. The equipment has been largely increased during the past year and new apparatus will be added before the beginning of next session. THE 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 and cold water. 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 Geneeal Infoemation 93 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 Alumnse 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. Mooee Scholaeship Fund.

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. General Statement 139 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 so much liberty as she is capable of using aright. Those 140 Agnes Scott Academy 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 Plopkins 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 year'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 neccessary 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. History. A knowledge of the prominent persons, places and events in the history of the United States as presented General Statement. 141 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 npon Europe and America. For admission to the regular first-year work of the Acad- emy, written tests are required for English Grammar and Arithmetic. These tests are given on the Thursday following the opening Wednesday. 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 143 Agnes Scott Academy Academy will be tested as to their ability to do the work desired. Written examinations are not required in those subjects which will be pursued in the Academy. In order to deter- mine the proper classification of the applicant in such sub- jects, oral tests supplemented by written exercises are given by the heads of the respective departments. Assignment to classes based upon these tests is subject to change whenever and in whatever particular the head of the department and the teacher of the class may determine. In these tests stress is not laid upon fullness and freshness of knowledge. The object is to find out the thoroughness and the spirit of the previous work, and the natural ability of the student. The anxiety and embarrassment attendant upon entrance into a new school is taken into account. Whatever method of test is used, the full information asked of those who enter upon certificate is required. English Grammar and Arithmetic. Any student who, in any part of her course, shows signs of weakness in either English Grammar or Arithmetic will at once be thoroughly tested; and, if 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, General Statement 143 TABULAR STATEMENT OF COURSE OF STUDY College Prepaeatoet. Geneeal Couese. FIRST TEAR.

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, Eandolph-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, and we will fully prepare them 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. General Statement 145 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 vi^hich they are substituted. ENGLISH Grammar, Ehetoric, and Composition. The first object of this course is to teach the methods of simple, direct, and accurate expression. The study of the principles of com- position, oral and written, is not left to the later years; from the beginning, the student is led to frame generaliza- tions for her own guidance, and to express her thoughts clearly and logically. Weekly and semi-weekly themes are required, consisting of descriptions and narrations from the daily experiences of the pupils; of criticisms, character sketches, and discussions, drawn from the studies in literature. The third and fourth years include much formal outline work. Literature.
