12 Agnes Scott College

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE

The purpose which has prevailed at Agnes Scott since its
foundation has been to offer the very best educational ad-
vantages 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 womanli-
ness 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.

Admission op Students 13

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 18.

For entrance examinations, see pages 18-19.

ENTRANCE SUBJECTS

The following subjects are accepted for entrance :

English 3 units

Mathematics 2% or 3% units

Latin 3 or 4 units

Historj' 1, 2 or 3 units

French 2 or 3 units

German 2 or 3 units

Greelc 2 or 3 units

14 Agnes Scott College

Spanish 2 units

Physics 1 unit

Chemistry 1 unit

Botany V2 or 1 unit

Zoology % or 1 unit

Physiology V2 unit

Physiography 1 or i/^ unit

A unit represents a year's study in a standard secondary
school, constituting approximately a quarter of a full yearns
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 accepted
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
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
standing; (IV) as irregular students; (V) as special stu-
dents.

I. As Unconditioned Freshmen. For admission to the
Freshman Class without condition fifteen units are required,
partly prescribed and partly elective as shown below:

II. As Conditioned Freshmen. Applicants desiring to
enter as candidates for the B.A. degree who can not offer the
full fifteen units required for unconditioned entrance, may
be admitted as conditioned Freshmen, if they can present a
minunum of twelve unconditioned units. The remaining
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 language 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 beginning of the
Sophomore year. Should there be a condition in a third sub-
ject, 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 :

1. She must present :

a. An honorable dismissal from the college she has at-
tended.

16 Agnes Scott College

b. An official statement of entrance requirements and how
absolved.

c. An official statement of studies pursued for credit.

d. A catalogue of the institution with her completed
courses marked.

e. An application for advanced credit properly filled out
by the candidate upon a blank provided by Agnes Scott
College for this purpose.

Note. If the above certificates are not entirely satis-
factory, a detailed statement of individual professors will be
required.

2. She must satisfy the entrance requirements of this
College. If necessary, credits presented for advanced stand-
ing may be used to satisfy any deficit in the entrance require-
ments.

If as few as ten units have been presented for entrance
into the college from which the candidate comes, no credit
will be given towards the degree for courses that may remain
after deduction for entrance deficiency, except upon exami-
nation.

3. When she comes from a college belonging to the Asso-
ciation of Colleges and Secondary Schools of the Southern
States, or to an association of at least equal standing, she will
be given tentative credit course by course, in so far as the
courses are, in the opinion of the heads of the departments
concerned, equivalent to courses offered in this College. An
examination on the work offered for advanced standing may
be required at any time, if the student's work should prove
unsatisfactory.

4. If she comes from a college which offers the B.A.
degree, but which is not a member of any one of the asso-

Admission op Students 17

ciations referred to above, she may, upon the recommendation
of the Committee on Advanced Standing in consultation with
the heads of the departments concerned, be admitted to
courses which continue the work of the courses offered for
advanced standing. Upon the satisfactory completion of
these courses she may be given such credit for the preliminary
work as the heads of the departments involved may deem just,
full credit being given only in exceptional cases. No credit,
except by examination, will be given for subjects not con-
tinued in this College.

5. If she comes from an institution not included in any
one of the above classes, she will be required to take exam-
inations for any advanced credit she may desire.

6. 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.

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 IV2. The
remaining seven units are elective and may be chosen from
the lists of subjects accepted for entrance (pages 13-14).

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 later desire 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 requirements
of degree students.

18 Agnes Scott College

V. As Special Students. Candidates of mature years, not
less than twenty years of age, are admitted without exami-
nation to courses in which they are prepared to do special
work, according to the regulations prescribed for Special
Students by "The Association of Colleges and Secondary
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 Asso-
ciation of Colleges and Secondary Schools of the Southern
States, or from any school accredited by other college asso-
ciations of equal standing, in so far as such certificates show
the entrance requirements to have been duly satisfied.
Certificates should be on forms provided by the College.
These forms will be furnished on application. The certificate
privilege 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 exami-
nation.

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

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

of the student be involved. All students must be definitely
classified within two weeks after their arrival at the College.

80 Agnes Scott College

DESCRIPTION OF ENTRANCE SUBJECTS

English

English, three units. The College entrance requirements
of the New England, Middle, and Southern States Asso-
ciations of Colleges and Secondary Schools constitute the
entrance work in English.

The requirement in English has two branches, Ehetoric
and English Literature. The study of English should be
continuous throughout the 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 1914-15.
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 exami-
nation paper in English Literature. The treatment of these
topics is designed to test the student's power of clear and
accurate 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-

Description of Enteance Subjects tl

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. 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
sentence, paragraph, and whole composition.

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

II. LiTERATUEE, One Unit and a half.

1. Reading (1915-16). At least two selections must be

Books I, II, III, IV, V, XV, XVI, XVII ; the Iliad, with
the omission, if desired, of Books XI, XIII, XIV, XV,
XVII, XXI; Virgil's ^neid. The Odyssey, Iliad, and
vEneid should be read in English translations of recognized
literary excellence.

For any selection of this group a selection from any other
group may be substituted.

B. Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice, A Midsummer
Night's Dream, As You Like It, Twelfth Night, Henry the
Fifth, Julius Caesar.

C. Defoe's Eobinson Crusoe, Part I; Goldsmith's Vicar
of Wakefield; either Scott's Ivanhoe or Scott's Quentin

de Coverley Papers in the Spectator; Franklin's Autobiog-
raphy (condensed) ; Irving's Sketch Book; Macaulay's Lord
Clive and Warren Hastings ; Thackeray's English Humorists ;
Parkman's Oregon Trail; Thoreau's Walden, or Huxley's
Autobiography and selections from Lay Sermons, including
the addresses on Improving Natural Knowledge, A Liberal
Education, and A Piece of Chalk; Stevenson's Inland
Voyage and Travels with a Donkey.

E. Palgrave's Golden Treasury (First Series), Books II
and III, with especial attention to Dryden, Collins, Gray,
Cowper, and Burns; Gray's Elegy in a Country Churchyard,
and Goldsmith's Deserted Village; Coleridge's Ancient
Mariner, and Lowell's The Vision of Sir Launfal; Scott's
The Lady of the Lake; Byron's Childe Harold, Canto IV,
and The Prisoner of Chillon ; Palgrave's Golden Treasury
(First Series), Book IV, with especial attention to Words-
worth, Keats, and Shelley; Poe's Raven, Longfellow's The
Courtship of Miles Standish, and Whittier's Snow Bound;
Macaulay's Lays of Ancient Rome, and Arnold's Sohrab and
Rustum ; Tennyson's Gareth and Lynette, Lancelot and
Elaine, and The Passing of Arthur; Browning's Cavalier
Tunes, The Lost Leader, How They Brought the Good ISTews
from Ghent to Aix, Home Thoughts from Abroad, Home
Thoughts from the Sea, Incident of the French Camp, Herv6
Riel, Pheidippides, My Last Duchess, Up at a Villa, Down
in the City.

2. Study and Practice (1915-1916). This part of the
examination presupposes the thorough study of each of the

Description of Enteance Subjects 33

works named below. The examinations will be upon subject-
matter, form, and structure. This requirement means that
the student should have been trained to use simple forms of
narration, description, exposition, and argument in her own
composition. In addition, the candidate may be required to
answer questions involving the essentials of English grammar,
and questions on the leading facts in those periods of English
literary history to which the prescribed works belong. The
books provided for study are arranged in four groups, from
each of which one selection is to be made :

A. Drama. Shakespeare: Julius Csar, Macbeth, Ham-
let.

B. Poetry. Milton : L' Allegro, II Penseroso, and either
Comus or Lycidas. Tennyson : The Coming of Arthur, The
Holy Grail, and the Passing of Arthur. The selections from
Wordsworth, Keats, and Shelley in Book IV of Palgrave's
Golden Treasury (First Series).

C. Oratory. Burke: Speech on Conciliation with
America. Macaula/s Two Speeches on Copyright and
Lincoln's Speech at Cooper Union. Washington's Farewell
Address and Webster's First Bunker Hill Oration.

D. Essays. Carlyle: Essay on Bums, with a selection
from Burns's poems. Macaulay : Life of Johnson. Emerson :
Essay on Manners.

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.

24 Agnes Scott College

Latin

All students entering the degree course must present the
minor requirement in Latin and are advised to offer the
major requirement.

Minor Eequirement, three units. 1 or 2.

Description of Entrance Subjects 25

the main principles of Latin syntax, and one period a week
throughout each year should be devoted to prose.

Translation at Sight. Candidates must be able to trans-

as two units, and presupposes a study of Greek during two
full years, five recitations a week. The major requirement
is counted as three units, and presupposes three years of
preparation, five recitations a week. The ground which must
be covered is as follows :

26 Agnes Scott College

words, syntax of nouns and verbs, and structure of the sen-
tence as treated in White's First Greek Book, or its equiva-
lent, must be thoroughly mastered. Constant attention should
be paid to translation from English into Greek.

&. Xenophon: Anabasis, three books. Special attention
should be paid to Greek syntax and to the use of good English
in translating. Thorough drill on translation from English
into Greek.

2. For the major requirement

The student must have completed the minor requirement

as outlined above and in addition have read three books of

Homer's Iliad, or an equivalent amount in Homer's Odyssey.

including the essentials of syntax with mastery of the regular
verbs and of at least twenty-five irregular models.

2. Ahundant exercises in prose composition.

3. Careful drill in pronunciation and practice in cob-
versation.

It is essential that the candidate acquire the ability to

text-books.

It is strongly recommended that the preparation in History
include, besides the study of a text-book, parallel reading,
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 (Eeport
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 laboratory
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

I

Deschiption of Enteance Subjects 33

supervised the work, must be presented before the student
can be admitted to examinations, or accepted on certificate.

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

2. Chemistry. This course covers General Inorganic
Chemistry, embracing a study of non-metals and metals.
Eemsen, Williams, McPherson, and Henderson are acceptable
texts. One unit.

3. Botany. This course should include the study of the
general laws of plant physiology, the fundamental principles
of plant morphology, the classification of the phanerogams,
and an investigation of the typical plants of the chief divi-
sions of the plant kingdom. The laboratory work must
occupy at least half of the time devoted to the study. The
work may be founded on such texts as Coulter, Bergen,
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 recommended. 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 1915-16 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 is not so extended as

34 Agnes Scott College

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 in Bergen's Ele-
ments of Botany, or Coulter's Plant Eelations, 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.

CURRICULUM

THE GROUP SYSTEM

A fundmental 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 development.

The groups are as follows :

GROUP I

GROUP II

GROUP III

Language

History

Science

Literature

Philosophy

Mathematics

English

Latin

Greek

German

French

Sociology and

Economics

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 twenty-
nine are prescribed and thirty-one elective. All courses are
planned and electives chosen with the advice of the Committee
on Admission or the Committee on Electives.

36 Agnes Scott College

*1. 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 1% hours

History 3 hours

Bible 3% 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 settled
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 :

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

(2) Students offering for entrance two languages in addi-
tion to 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.

*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.

CUERICULUM 37

(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 is taken in College for entrance
credit, it must be continued through Course 1.

(6) Students offering for entrance neither Chemistry nor
Physics must take both subjects in College, one being elected
in the Freshman year and the other later in the course.

3. Major courses are offered in the following subjects :
English, French, German, Latin, History, Biology, Chemistry,
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.

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

COURSES LEADING TO THE B.A. DEGREE

The following outline indicates the courses that are offered
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 departments in

38 Agnes Scott College

the catalogue, and the figures in parentheses indicate the
number of recitations or lectures a week in each course,

Note 1. 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. Students offering four units in Latin for en-
trance, even from accredited schools, who do not wish to
continue Latin in College, are required to pass an examination
covering both the Latin read in the last preparatory year and
the entrance requirement in Latin Prose Composition.

Note 4. 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.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION

Pbofessor Paery.
Db. Sweet.

The aim of this department is fourfold: (1) Hygienic;
(2) Esthetic; (3) Corrective; (4) Recreative.

The lecture course in Hygiene, given once a week during
the first semester, aims to teach the proper care of the body,
the means by which infectious diseases may be prevented,
and the principles of sanitation. The lectures will be illus-
trated by the use of lantern-slides.

The Hygiene element aims to bring about increased bodily
vigor, and the healthy development of the individual.

The J5sthetic element is introduced by means of rhyth-
mical exercises, to gain bodily discipline, muscular coordina-
tion, and to develop grace and the sense of rhythm.

The Corrective exercises aim to overcome bad habits of
posture, and to improve the carriage of the individual.

The Eecreative element is introduced through games and
folk dances.

Every student is given a careful physical examination, both
by the resident physician and the physical director, on enter-
ing College. When it seems advisable the student is given
special light exercises in place of the regular gymnastic class
work. Cases requiring special corrective work will be referred
to the parents, and with their approval arrangements will be
made for corrective gymnastics.

1. Hygiene. Lectures, one hour per week for the first
semester. Required of all new students. One-half point
toward degree.

2. Gymnastics. Including marching, floor work, ap-
paratus work, and folk games. Required of all first-year

requirements for the degree.

MUSIC

Peofessob Maclean. Mr. Dieckmann.

Mr. Johnson. Miss Hunt.

Miss Babtholmew. Mrs. Johnson.

The Music Department ofi;ers 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.

Description of Courses 85

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
arranged so that regular College students, working for a
degree, may include theoretical music as a secondary study,
with full credit for it, and special students of music may
avail themselves of the training offered in the literary courses
of the College.

DEPARTMENT I.
Theoretical; Historical, and Critical

1. Theory. Eudiments, notation, intervals, scales,
meter, chords, terms, ear-training, analysis, and elementary
harmony.

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 Organists'
Department."

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

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

Special stress is laid on the dignity of the church service,
and a careful selection is made of organ literature suitable
for divine worship.

Two lessons a week.

ART

Miss Lewis,

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 appre-
ciation 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.

Students can not enter an advanced class without standing
an examination on work preceding.

Opportunity in the way of excellent examples and in-
struction are offered those desiring to study the various lines
of decorative arts.

EXPRESSION

Miss Duncan.

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. Eeadings 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. Harmonic
Gymnastics. Pantomimic Training. Study of the Mono-
logues of Browning, Tennyson, and others. Arrangement 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.

92 Agnes Scott College

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 improvement
of the articulation. Application of the principles will be
made through the vocal interpretation of literature.

Text -book: Little Classics for Oral English, Curry.

GENERAL INFORMATION

SITUATION

The College is situated in Decatur, a town of some 5,000
population, six miles east of Atlanta. It is connected with
the city by steam cars and two trolley lines. Cars run every
ten minutes, and the time from the College to the center of
the city is twenty-five minutes. The College, therefore, enjoys
all the advantages of the city. The elevation of the town is
1,050 feet, the water freestone, and the climate free from
extremes of heat or cold.

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
Markham Lowry, Anno Domini, 1910."

The Biological Department contains two laboratories, a
lecture room, a professor's office and library, a vivarium, a
photographic room, a storage room, and a museum. The work
of instruction and research commands the aid of suitable
apparatus, such as microscopes, microtomes, ovens, baths,
charts, and illustrative collections.

frame house, located south of Lowry Hall, was added to the
College plant through the efforts of the alumnae. The build-
ing has been arranged so that it is admirably adapted to its
purpose. The rooms are large, well heated and lighted, and
are furnished with all appliances necessary for a modern
hospital.

In recognition of the generosity and affectionate interest
of the alumnae in their Alma Mater, the Trustees have named
the building The Alumna Infirmary.

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

their checks, and no other account is kept by the College

the College will not be responsible for any losses that may
occur.

It is a pleasure to extend, as far as possible, the hospitality
of the College to patrons and friends. In all cases, however,

STUDENT AND ALUMN/E 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.

106 Agnes Scott College

especially in the development of self-restraint, consideration
for the majority, and the true cooperative spirit.

Young Women's Christian Association

The objects of this Association are:

To develop the spiritual life of the students.

To cooperate with other student associations in the general
work of the Y. W. C. A.

To do all possible to advance the Kingdom of God.

The various departments of Association work are well
organized and render efficient service. The Association has
the sympathetic interest and support of the faculty, while
the student body, with few exceptions, are members. The
leaders among the students are also the leaders in this work,
and thus the organization wields a large influence for good.

Literary Societies

Two literary societies contribute much to the social life
and literary attainments of the students. While their pro-
grams are varied from time to time, they are in the main
debating societies. The Mnemosynean Society was organized
in 1891 and the Propylean Society in 1897. Each society has
a beautiful and attractive hall appropriately furnished and
admirably adapted to its purpose.

Athletic Association

Athletic sports, not including the regular gymnastic classes,
are managed by the Athletic Association. Interclass basket-
ball is the leading sport in the fall and winter months, while
the annual tennis tournament is the spring event. An
athletic field affords excellent opportunities for outdoor
basket-ball, tennis, and field hockey. This field, situated

I

General Information 107

conveniently to the gymnasium, has been graded and put into
good condition. It is surrounded by a privet hedge, which,
when fully grown, will enhance its beauty and at the same
time insure privacy.

Alumnae Association

During the Commencement of 1895 the Agnes Scott
Alumnje Association was organized. The object of the Asso-
ciation is to strengthen the interest of those who have been
connected with the institution, in each other and in the Col-
lege, 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 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.

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, Presi-
dent; 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.

108 Agnes Scott College

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.

The Y. W. C. A. Handbook. A manual of information
issued annually by the Association, chiefly for the benefit of
new students.

RELIGIOUS LIFE

Every eflort 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. They are expected to attend this
church on Sunday morning. Attendance on daily morning
prayers is required.

The Young Women's Christian Association holds a service
in the chapel every Sunday evening and also conducts mission
study classes. Evening prayers are conducted in the chapel
daily. The students have prayer-meetings of their own. Be-
sides there is a regular midweek prayer-meeting conducted by
visiting ministers.

APPOINTMENT COMMITTEE

The faculty has appointed a Committee with a view to
assisting Agnes Scott students in securing positions. All
graduates and other students of the College who desire to
teach are invited to apply for registration blanks, fill them out
and file them with this Committee. Address, Miss Anna
Young, Secretary, Decatur, Ga.
