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 advantages under positive Christian influences the training and furnishing of the mind in a modern, well-equipped col- lege, 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 womanliness which combines strength with gentleness and refinement. It is thus the aim of the College to send out educated Christian women to be a power in blessing the world and glorifying God. The College was founded by Presbyterians, and hence its moral standards and religious life conform as nearly as possible to those which obtain in that church. Special care, however, is taken not to interfere in any way with the re- ligious views or church preferences of students. The College offers only the B.A. degree. There are, however, optional courses leading to this degree, thus giving the opportunity for each student to elect a course most in accord with her special talent and plans. 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 al- lowed 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 ist. Application blanks will be furnished when requested. For entrance requirements and for description of en- trance subjects, see below. For admission by certificate, see page 18. For entrance examinations, see pages 18-19. ENTRANCE SUBJECTS The following subjects are accepted for entrance: English 3 units Mathematics 2]/i or 3J/2 units Latin 3 or 4 units History i, 2 or 3 units French 2 or 3 units Admission of Students IS German 2 or 3 units Greek 2 or 3 units Spanish 2 units Physics I unit Chemistry i unit Botany Vi or i unit Zoology y2 ox I unit Physiology V^ unit Physiography i or Yt. unit A unit represents a year's study in a standard secondary school, constituting approximately a quarter of a full year's work. 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 the unit in addition to the required two and one-half 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 en- trance must be taken in College, and when both are offered for entrance, 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. STANDING TO WHICH STUDENTS ARE ADMITTED The College admits students, I. As unconditioned Fresh- men; II. As conditioned Freshmen; III. To advanced stand- ing; IV. As irregular students; V. As special students. I. As Unconditioned Freshmen. For admission to the Freshman Class without condition fifteen units are required, partly prescribed and partly elective as shown below : i6 Agnes Scott College PRESCRIBED IlJ/2 UNITS English 3 Mathematics . .. V/2 Latin 3 History i French or German or Greek elective- Group I I UNIT TO BE CHOSE Latin Mathematics . . . French German Greek Physics Chemistry Group 2 2^ to be chosen French German Spanish Greek History Botany V2 or Zoology V2 or Physics Chemistry Mathematics Physiology Physiography .... II. As Conditioned Freshmen. Applicants desiring to enter as candidates for the B.A. degree who cannot offer the full fifteen units required for unconditioned entrance, may 'be admitted as conditioned Freshmen, if they can pre- sent a minimum of twelve unconditioned units. The re- maining units necessary to complete the required fifteen may be assumed as conditions, provided that the deficiency in no single subject (except in the case of a modern lan- guage or Greek) shall amount to a full year of preparatory work in that subject; and further provided that at least two and one-half unconditioned units in English and at least one and one-half unconditioned units in Mathematics shall be presented. Students entering with conditions in one or in two subjects must make good such deficiency by the be- ginning of the Sophomore year. Should there be a condi- tion in a third subject, it must be removed by the beginning of the Junior year. III. To Advanced Standing. A candidate may be ad- mitted to any of the higher classes on the following con- ditions : Admission op Students 17 1. She must stand examination on all the subjects em- braced in the course of the B.A. degree below the class for which she applies, unless she comes from another institu- tion of recognized standing (see 2). Credit will be given for any subject on which candidate passes satisfactory ex- amination, but application for examination for advanced standing in any subject must be made within two weeks of entrance. 2. When she comes from another institution of rec- ognized standing and desires to enter by certificate, she must present a detailed statement of work done, and, at the dis- cretion 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 records and notebooks must accompany certificates of work done in the Sciences and in History respectively. 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. IV. As Irregular Students. Candidates who desire to take a partial course without becoming candidates for the degree may be admitted to the College as irregular students without class standing. Such students must present twelve units for entrance. Of this number four and one-half are prescribed namely, English 3 and Mathematics 13^2. The remaining seven units are elective and may be chosen from the lists of subjects accepted for entrance (pages 14-15). i8 Agnes Scott College These students are required to take a minimum of fifteen hours of recitation a week, which may include Music and Art, but at least nine hours must be academic work. 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. V. As Special Students. Candidates of mature years, not less than twenty years of age, are admitted without examination to courses in which they are prepared to do special work, according to the regulations prescribed for Special Students by "The xA.ssociation of Colleges and Sec- ondary Schools of the Southern States." Students thus admitted have no class standing and are not in line for the degree. MANNER OF ADMISSION Admission by Certificate. In lieu of entrance examina- tions, the College will accept certificates from any high school, fitting school, or seminary on the accredited list of the Association of College and Secondary Schools of the Southern States, or from any school accredited by other college associations, when presented by graduates of these schools. Certificates should be on forms provided by the College. These forms will be furnished on application free of charge. The certificate prvilege is granted to schools only and not to private instructors. Admission by Examination. Candidates who are unable to present satisfactory certificates may be admitted by ex- amination.

American History. 32 Agnes Scott College Of these four units the student must ofifer one unit, and may offer an additional two units. 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 notebook, taking of notes, and practice in the filling in of outline maps. A detailed statement of the most approved methods for the teaching of History in secondary schools will be found in two reports to the American Historical Association (Re- port of the Committee of Seven on the Study of History in Schools, and The Study of History in Secondary Schools, both published by Macmillan), and in a publication of the New England History Teachers' Association (History Syllabus for Secondary Schools, published by Heath). 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 labo- ratory work. This laboratory work should be directed by a competent instructor and records made in a notebook, while in the field or laboratory. The notebook, endorsed by the instructor who supervised the work, must be presented be- fore 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, Milliken and Gale, or Hoad- ley. The laboratory work must include, at least, thirty-five selected exercises. One unit. 2. Chemistry. This course covers General Inorganic Admission of Students 33 Chemistry, embracing a study of non-metals and metals. Remsen, Williams, McPherson, and Henderson are accept- able texts. One unit. 3. Botany. This course should include the study of the general laws of plant physiology, the fundamental prin- ciples of plant morphology, the classification of the phane- rogams, and an investigation of the typical plants of the chief divisions 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, Stevens, 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 recom- mended. One unit. 5. Physiography. This course embraces : The prin- ciples 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 1914-15 the student will be permitted to offer one-half unit in any of the following subjects. Each subject must be studied for five recitation periods per week for eighteen weeks. The laboratory work isi not so extended as in the full units, but should represent at least one-third of the time given to the study. I. Botany. The course may be based in Bergen's Ele- ments of Botany, or Coulter's Plant Relations, and should include simpler experiments in seed germination and plant anatomy ; and an herbarium of twelve or more plants should be presented. One-half unit. 34 Agnes Scott College 2. Physical Geography. The subject should be stud- ied 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. Degree and Certificates 35 DEGREE AND CERTIFICATES BACHELOR'S DEGREE The College will confer the Degree of Bachelor of Arts upon any student who satisfactorily completes the require- ments as given on pages 37-38. These requirements, em- bracing sixty hours of recitation and two hours in Physical Education, cannot be taken in less than four years by students who enter the Freshman class without condition. 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. The B.A. course, therefore, is partly prescribed and partly elective, and the electives are given under restrictions 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 pro- fessor of the department. 36 Agnes Scott College CURRICULUM THE GROUP SYSTEM A fundamental principle of the arrangement of the courses for the B.A. degree is that of the group system, which comes into operation in the choice of elective courses. By requiring a certain amount of work to be elected from each of the three groups, the College assures to its B.A. graduates proper breadth of culture; and by requiring a major subject, together with allied subjects, to be chosen from one of the groups, it gives to the student also the intensive training necessary for the best mental devel- opment. The groups are as follows : GROUP I. GROUP II. GROUP III. ANGUAGE History Science Literature Philosophy Mathemat] English Sociology and Astronomy Latin Economics Biology Greek History Chemistry German Philosophy Geology French Bible Home Economics Spanish Mathematics Physics Curriculum 37 BACHELOR OF ARTS DEGREE Candidates for the B. A. degree must present sixty-two hours of work, of which two hours' value must be made in Physical Education. Of the remaining sixty hours twen- ty-nine are prescribed and thirty-one are elective. All courses are planned and electives chosen with the advice of the Committee on Admission or the Committee on Elect- ives. *i. The prescribed hours are as follows : English 6 hours A Modern Language, or Greek 6 hours Mathematics 3 hours Physics or Chemistry 3 hours Biology I ^ hours History 3 hours Bible 3J/2 hours Philosophy 3 hours 29 hours 2. The elective hours are to be distributed among the three groups as follows: (a) A major subject of not less than nine hours must be chosen, together with six hours from the same group in addition to the major and the prescribed courses falling in this group. The choice of the major subject must be set- tled by the beginning of the Junior year. (b) Three hours must be chosen in each of the other groups in addition to the prescribed courses in these groups. (c) The remaining hours necessary to complete the re- quirement of sixty-two hours may be chosen at will, subject to the following restrictions : * One hour semester courses in Hygiene and Spoken English are required of all Freshmen. The Spoken English is not counted towards the degree. For Hygiene, see page 83. 38 Agnes Scott College (i) Not more than six hours may be taken in one de- partment in any semester, (2) 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. (3) 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. (4) One-hour courses may be taken only in connection with two-hour or three-hour courses in the same subject. (5) If a third language offered for entrance is taken in College, it must be continued through Course i. (6) Students offering for entrance neither Chemistry nor Physics must take both subjects in College, one being elected in the Freshman year. 3. Major courses are offered in the following subjects: English, French, German, Latin, History, Biology, Chem- istry, Physics, Mathematics, and Philosophy. 4. In order to receive the required two hours' credit in Physical Education the student must have completed three years of work in this department. Special arrangements will be made for those entering with advanced standing. 5. Every candidate for the degree must not only have completed the requisite number of hours, but also have at- tained a grade as high as "C" on thirty hours (six being in the Senior year), and a grade as high as "D" on the remaining thirty-two hours required. Curriculum 39 COURSES LEADING TO THE B.A. DEGREE The following outline indicates the courses that are of- fered to each class. The work of the Freshman class is prescribed, but in optional groups. The unenclosed figures refer to the courses of instruction as announced by the de- partments in the catalogue, and the figures in parentheses indicate the number of recitations or lectures a week in each course. Note i. Students offering only three units in Latin for entrance must take Group B. Note 2. Students offering for entrance one unit in a third language instead of the fourth unit in Latin, must continue this third language in College, or take an examina- tion on the work offered. Note 3. A student who has presented neither Physics nor Chemistry for entrance must elect one of these sciences in the Freshman year and take History in the Sophomore year. If either Physics or Chemistry has been presented for entrance, the other of these sciences and History must be elected, one in the Freshman year and the other in the Sophomore year.

Every student is given a careful physical examination, both by the resident physician and the physical director, on entering College. When it seems advisable the student is given special light exercises in place of the regular gymnas tic class work. Cases requiring special corrective work will be referred to the parents, and with their approval arrange- Description of Courses 83 merits will be made for corrective gymnastics, for which there is an extra charge. 1.

The Music Department offers through its various courses in the theoretical and practical study of music, in connection with studies in the College, 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 accomplishment. The aim is to cultivate a more intelligent appreciation 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 essential elements of a good general education. With this end in view, the work of this school has been rearranged, and courses are offered, so that regular College students, working for a degree, may include music as a sec- ondary study, with full credit for it, and special students of music may avail themselves of the training offered in the hterary courses of the College. Description of Courses DEPARTMENT I. Theoretical, Historical, and Critical 1. Theory. Rudiments, notation, intervals, scales, meter, chords, terms, ear-training, analysis, and elementary harmony.

Two lessons a week. It is the aim of the Organ Department to develop intelli- gent organists for church and concert work. A strong feature of the course is the "Church Organist's Department." From the beginning, pedal technic, registration, and or- gan 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. 88 Agnes Scott College Special stress is laid on the dignity of the church service, and a careful selection of organ literature is made, suitable for divine worship. 11. Violin. Technical training according to the most approved modern methods. Sonatas, concertos, and concert- pieces from the best writers for the instrument. Two lessons a week. 12. Voice Culture.

Ensemble Work. Piano and violin pupils of suffi- cient advancement have ample opportunity for ensemble playing. Admission Candidates for the B.A. Degree a. Who wish to continue their study of music will be given five hours' credit towards the degree upon the satis- factory completion of Courses 2, 3, 5, and 6. b. Those who wish also the Certificate in the School of Music should devote an additional year to the College course. c. Those who wish to take a limited amount of work in music may do so upon permission of the Classification Com- mittee. Description of Courses 89 Students not candidates for the B.A. Degree who wish to specialize in Music must meet the requirements for admis- sion of irregular students to the Freshman class in the Col- lege, and must take the equivalent of fifteen hours of work a week, one hour of music being equivalent to one hour of recitation and three hours' practice on an instrument count- ing as equivalent to one hour of recitation.

The principle on which this department is conducted is to maintain a high standard of efficiency in the pictorial and decorative arts and to give the student an intelligent ap- preciation of the works of the masters. Around this principle are grouped the various branches of art education, giving in addition to technical training a knowledge of the historical development of art theory of design and color, and work, both practical and theoretical, in the composition of pictures. The regular Art course is divided into four parts : A. Drawing from casts ; clay modeling. B. Drawing from casts ; painting from still life. C. Drawing from life ; painting from still life ; outdoor sketching. D. Drawing and painting from life; outdoor sketching; exercises in composition.

The end sought through the study of this art is the har- monious development of all the powers of being ; mind, body, and soul sharing equally in the results ; to secure both the visible and invisible development of the personality ; to awaken, develop, and train the artistic instinct, that it may find its highest expression; to render the course a potent factor in the attainment of a broad, general culture. The study of English is the basis for this course, the technical training of voice and body being the means of securing an adequate vocal interpretation of all forms of prose and poetry. A three years' course is offered : First Year. Voice. Harmonic Training of Body for Expressive Action. Readings from Lyric and Narrative poetry. Arrangement of the Short Story for public reading. Text-book : Foundations for Vocal Expression, Curry. Second Year. Voice and Vocal Expression. Har- monic Gymnastics. Pantomimic Training. Study of the Monologues of Browning, Tennyson, and others. Arrange- ment of the Novel for public reading. Studies from the Drama. Text -book: Lessons in Vocal Expression, Curry. Third Year. Advanced Voice. Pantomimic Problems. Harmonic Program reviewed. Fundamental steps in Voice reviewed. Arrangement of readings from the Drama. Shakespeare, Modern Drama. Text-book : Mind and Voice, Curry. Description of Courses 93 Spoken English A course in Spoken English will be given for the purpose of improving the speaking voice, for securing a correct use of the sounds of the English language, and for the improve- ment of the articulation. Application of the principles will be made through the vocal interpretation of literature. Text-book : Little Classics for Oral English, Curry. 94 Agnes Scott College GENERAL INFORMATION SITUATION The College is situated in Decatur, a town of some 4,000 population, six miles east of Atlanta.

The Carnegie Library. This building, completed in 1911, is the gift of Mr. Andrew 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. The College Library, occupying the new Carnegie build- ing, consists of over five thousand carefully selected vol- umes, 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. LowRY Hall. This building, completed in 1911, is built of brick and trimmed with Indiana limestone. It is one hundred by fifty feet, and including the basement is four stories high. It has steam heat, electric 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 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. 98 Agnes Scott College and Emma C. Lowry in Memory of their Son, William Markham Lowry, Anno Domini, 1910." The Biological Department contains two laboratories, a lecture room, a professor's ofifice and library, a vivarium, a photographic room, a storage room, and a museum. The work of instruction and research commands the aid of suit- able apparatus, such as microscopes, microtomes, ovens, baths, charts, and illustrative collections. The Chemical Department 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; 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 Department 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 ap- paratus will be added before the beginning of next session. The Gymnasium. This is a three-story brick building. The gymnasium proper, with swimming pool, shower baths and lockers, occupies the entire ground floor, while the upper floors contain various lecture rooms. The Alumnae Infirmary. This is a well-built two- story frame house, located south of Lowry Hall. The build- ing has been arranged so that it is admirably adapted to its purpose. General Information 99 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 inter- est in their Alma Mater, the Trustees have named the build- ing The Alumnae Infirmary. Sickness may occur anywhere, and parents will doubtless appreciate the importance of the Infirmary. The Home Economics Hall is well fitted with classrooms, a store room, a laboratory, with individual equipment for work in food preparation, home sanitation, nutrition, and dietetics, and a dining-room, attractively fur- nished for the proper serving of meals. Electric and Steam Plant. Electric light and steam heat are supplied to all the College buildings from a modern and well-equipped plant situated on the south border of the campus. Steam Laundry. A steam laundry, adjoining the elec- tric and steam plant, is operated for the benefit of the Col- lege community. loo Agnes Scott College SCHOLARSHIPS AND PRIZES Scholarships The W. a.

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 allow- ance to their daughters for spending money. When money is deposited with the Treasurer for students, it is paid out on their checks, and no other account is kept by the College except cancelled checks. io6 Agnes Scott College TJie College tvill not advance money to students. In cases of protracted sickness or contagious diseases, parents must provide a nurse at their own expense. Patrons must pay for medicines and for consultations. A fee of $5.00 is charged for Diploma and $2.00 for Certificate. All dues to the College must be paid before either Diploma or Certificate will be azvardcd. The College exercises every precaution to protect prop- erty of students, but will not be responsible for losses of any kind. For the accommodation of students and teachers the Col- lege receives packages for them, and the utmost care is taken to have tHese packages properly delivered to the owners, but the College will not be responsible for any losses that may occur. It is a pleasure, as far as possible, to extend the hos- pitality of the College to patrons and friends. In all cases, however, visitors are the guests of the College and not of individuals. All connected with the College, therefore, who desire to invite friends are requested to arrange with the Dean. Visitors, except alumnae, remaining longer than three days will be charged for such entertainment. 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. When a student takes two musics, or music and art, a discount of ten per cent on "Specials" taken will be allowed, except laboratory fees.

All other charges, includ- ing branches under the head Special, will be at regular rates. To ministers regularly engaged in their calling, who send their daughters as day students, a discount of ten per cent will be given on tuition in the College. Branches under the head Special at catalogue rates. No DISCOUNT WILL BE ALLOWED EITHER BOARDING OR DAY STUDENTS FOR ABSENCE FROM ANY CAUSE EXCEPT SICKNESS, AND THAT ONLY WHEN THE ABSENCE IS FOR AS LONG 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 of the session, and then only by special arrangement with the President. No reduction will be made for holidays. Students not returning after Christmas will be cha/rged to end of term. The boarding department will be closed during the Christmas holidays. One dormitory will be kept open and arrangements for meals can be made. Furniture The College supplies the students' rooms with bedstead, bureau, wardrobe, washstand, chairs, mattress, pillows, and crockery. Each student should bring with her sheets, blan- kets, 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 bed- io8 Agnes Scott College clothing should be the size used for single 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 some- times loss. General Information 109 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 spirit. Young Women's Christian Association The object of the Young Women's Christian Association is to develop spiritual life among the students. This organi- zation works in various ways to promote right living, and is a prominent factor for good in the College. Literary Societies Two literary societies contribute much to the social life and literary attainment of the students, and are valuable as a means of cultivating ease of manner and expression, of fostering 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 consist of readings, recitations, essays, debates, and music. The societies are using their funds year by year in build- ing up excellent libraries for the benefit of their members. no Agnes Scott College 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 Alumnse Association was organized. The object of the Association is to strengthen the interest of those who have been connected with the school, in each other and in the College, to place them in a helpful relation toward it, and to arouse and quicken the interest in Christian education. The Association has established a loan fund, and begin- ning with 1913-1914 will lend money to students who need to borrow in order to complete their college course. Only Juniors and Seniors and students who have not more than two years of work to secure a degree or a certificate may borrow from the fund. Not more than $150.00 will be lent to any student in one year. No interest will be charged till one year after the borrower has finished her college course. From that date all unpaid loans or parts of loans will begin to draw interest at six per cent until paid. General Information hi Applications for loans should be made to the President of the Association through the President of the College. The officers of the Association are : Mrs. John Scott, President ; Miss Allie Candler, Vice-President ; Miss Louise Maness, Secretary; Miss Lizzabel Saxon, Treasurer. 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 select the church they desire to make their church home/ as soon as practicable after arrival. Ordinarily this must be the church of their parents.
