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 Chris-
tion women to be a power in blessing the world and glorify-
ing 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 of 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, vs^hich amount will be credited on bill rendered at be-
ginning 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 helota.

For admission by certificate, see page 18.

For entrance examinations, see pages 19, 20.

ENTRANCE SUBJECTS

The following subjects are accepted for entrance:

English 3 units

Mathematics 3 or 4 units

Latin 3 or 4 units

History 1, 2 or 2y.^ units

French 2 or 3 units

German 2 or 3 units

Greek 2 or 3 units

14 Agnes Scott College

Spanish 2 units

Physics 1 unit

Chemistry 1 unit

Biology:

Botany 1/2 or 1 unit

Zoology % o'* 1 ^^^^

Physiology Vs unit

Physiography Vs 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 3 units in Mathematics will be accepted for en-
trance only by examination, when the student does not con-
tinue 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) as irregular stu-
dents; (IV) as special students; (V) to advanced standing.

I. As Unconditioned Freshmen. For admission to the

*In accordance with the recommendation of the National Con-
ference Committee on Standards of Colleges and Secondary Schools,
algebra is accepted with the valuation of two units, provided two
years shall have been given to the work in the preparatory school.

16 Agnes Scott College

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
minimum 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 more than a year of preparatory work
in that subject; and further provided that at least two and one-
half unconditioned units in English and at least two un-
conditioned units in Mathematics shall be presented. Stu-
dents 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. 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 five are prescribed
namely, English 3 and Mathematics 2. The remaining seven
units are elective and may be chosen from the lists of sub-
jects 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.

IV. To Advanced Standing. A candidate may be ad-

Admission of Students 17

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.

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 blanki 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

18 Agnes Scott Collkge

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-
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
continued 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.

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-

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. Cer-
tificates should be on forms provided by the College. These
forms will be furnished on application. The certificate privi-
lege is granted to schools only and not to private instructors.

Description of Entrance Subjects 21

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, Rhetoric
and English Literature. The study of English should be
continuous throughout the four years of the high-school
course.

I. Rhetoric 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 1916-17.
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 knowl-
edge of the books.

To meet this requirement in composition:

1. There should be practice in writing, the equivalent of

22 Agnes Scott College

at least one theme a week during the four years of her pre-
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 Rhethoric. Par-
ticular attention should be given to the structure of the
sentence, paragraph, and whole composition.

The following books are recommended for study in prepa-
ration: In Rhetoric, Herrick and Damon's Composition and
Rhetoric; Scott and Denney's Composition-Rhetoric; Ge-
nung's Outlines of Rhetoric; Hill's Foundations of Rhetoric;
Brook and Hubbard's Rhetoric; Webster's English Compo-
sition and Literature.

II. Literature, one unit and a half.

1. Reading (1916-17). At least two selections must be
made from each of the following groups:

A. The Old Testament, comprising at least the chief
narrative episodes in Genesis, Exodus, Joshua, Judges, Sam-
uel, Kings, and Daniel, together with the books of Ruth and
Esther; ^he Odyssey, with the omission, if desired, of 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 ^neid
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 Nighty Henry the
Fifth, Julius Caesar.

Description of Entrance Subjects 23

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

Education, and A Piece of Chalk; Stevenson's Inland Voy-
age and Travels with a Donkey.

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 Lavmfal; 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

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 News

24 Agnes Scott College

2. Study and Practice (1916-17). This part of the ex.-
amination presupposes the thorough study of each of the
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, descriptive, 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 Csesar, 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 Amer-
ica. Macaulay's Two Speeches on Copyright and Lin-
coln's Speech at Cooper Union. Washington's Farewell Ad-
dress and Webster's First Bunker Hill Oration.

D. Essays. Carlyle: Essay on Burns, 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.

Description of Entrance Subjects 25

Latin

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

Minor Requirement, three units. 1 or 2.

1. a, b, and c (as outlined below) admits to Course 0.

2. a, b, ^Eneid I-III, and one-half of the translation and
all the prose composition of c admits to Course 00.

Candidates are urged to offer Minor Requirement 1 rather
than 2.

a. Latin Grammar, one unit. A thorough knowledge of
all regular inflections, and the common irregular forms; the
simpler rules for composition and derivation of words; syntax
of nouns and verbs; structure of sentences, with special
emphasis upon relative and conditional sentences, indirect
discourse, and the uses of the subjunctive.

b. Caesar, one unit.-^Gallic War, I-IV, or an equivalent
amount of Latin selected from the following: Caesar: Gallic
War, and Civil War; Nepos: Lives. Latin composition.

c. Cicero, one unit. Seven orations, or six if the Manilian
Law be one. The orations preferred are the four against Cati-
line, for Archias, and for the Manilian Law. For a part of the
orations, an equivalent amount of Sallust, Catiline or Jugur-
thine War may be substituted. Latin composition.

Latin Composition. Those who receive credit for b and c
must be able to translate into correct Latin detached sentences
involving all regular inflections and all common irregular
forms, and illustrating the principal grammatical construc-
tions found in the prose authors read. To secure such ability,
the preparation must include a systematic study of the main

26 Agnes Scott College

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-
late at sight passage of Latin suited in vocabulary, construc-
tion, and range of ideas to the preparation secured by the
reading indicated above.

Major Requirement, four units. a, b, and c of minor
requirement, and <i (as outlined below). Admits to Latin 1.

d. 1. Virgil, one unit. ^neid, six books, or five books
of the ^neid, and selections equivalent in amount to one
book of the ^neid from Ovid's Metamorphoses, or from the
Eclogues. So much of prosody as is necessary for a correct
reading of the text by the quantitative method. Translation
of poetry at sight.

2. Latin Prose Composition. The writing of continuous
prose of moderate difficulty based on Caesar and Cicero. The
work of this year should include a thorough review of the
principles taught in the previous years.

Note. All students, entering with four units of Latin,
even from accredited schools, who do not wish to continue
Latin in College, are required to pass an examination on the
fourth entrance unit (d, 1 and 2).

Greek

Students may offer for entrance in Greek either the minor
or the major requirement. The minor requirement is counted
as two units, and presupposes a study of Greek during two
full years, five recitations a week. The major requirement
is counted as three units, and presupposes three years of

Description of Entrance Subjects 27

preparation, five recitations a week. The ground which must
be covered is as follows:

1. For the minor requirement

a. Grammar: Inflections, etymology, and derivation of
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.

h. Xenophon: Anabasis, three books. Special attention
should be paid to Greek syntax and to the use of good Eng-
lish in translating. Thorough drill on translation from Eng-
lish 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.
Constant practice should be given in prose composition, in
translation at sight, and in Homeric forms and syntax.

French

Minor Requirement (admitting to French 1), two units.
The preparation for this requirement should comprise:

1. A thorough knowledge of the rudiments of grammar,
including the essentials of syntax with mastery of the regular
verbs and of at least twenty-five irregular models.

2. Abundant exercises in prose composition.

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

It is essential that the candidate acquire the ability to
follow a recitation conducted in French and to answer in
that language questions asked by the instructor.

28 ' Agnes Scott College

4. The reading of at least three hundred duodecimo pages
of simple French from four authors.

Candidates are strongly urged to use Fraser and Squair's
French Grammar, of which Part I and the articles in Part II
relating to the use of the auxiliaries and the subjunctive and
conditional moods, as well as the inflection and synopsis of
the verbs, should be thoroughly mastered.

The texts suggested for reading are:

Fontaine: Douze ConteS Nouveaux; Schultz: La Neuvaine
de Collette; Daudet: Trois Contes Choisis; Malot: Sans
Famille; de la Brete: Mon Oncle et Mon Cure; Labiche-
Martin: Le Voyage de M. Perrichon; Guerber: Contes.

Note. Ff the time given to the preparation is less than
two years, with four or five recitations a week, an examination

stood, however, that this third unit includes five recitations
a week for one year. Students presenting the major require-
ment will be admitted only by examination, which will in-
clude a test in conversation, since it is essential that students

Description of Entrance Subjects 31

of this grade be able to follow and to take part with com-
parative ease in a recitation conducted in German.

Third Language Requirement (admitting to second
semester of Elementary German), one unit. Thomas's

For entrance in History each of the following four sub-
jects is counted as one unit. Each unit represents the amount
of work which can be covered in five recitations per week
during one year, or in three recitations per week during
two years.

a. Greek History to the Death of Alexander, and Roman

Description of Entrance Subjects 33

History to 800 A.D. These may be offered together as one
unit, or either Greek History or Roman History may be
offered as one-half unit. In the latter case the subject pre-
sented must have been studied during five recitations per
week for a half year, or for an equivalent time.

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

b. Mediaeval and Modern European History, from 800
A.D. to the present time.

c. English History.

d. American History.

Of these four units the student must offer one unit, and
may offer an additional one and one-half units.

The examinations will be based upon modern high school
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 (Report
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, two, or three units from those
given below. Each should represent the work of one year,
and should include a large amount of individual laboratory

34 AoNES Scott College

work. This laboratory work should be directed by a compe-
tent instructor and records made in a notebook, while in the
field or laboratory. This notebook, endorsed by the in-
structor who supervised the work, must be presented.

1. Physics. The amount of work required is represented
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.
Remsen, Williams, McPherson, and Henderson are acceptable
texts. One unit.

3. Biology

a. 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 oc-
cupy 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, or one-half unit.

b. 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, or one-half unit.

4. Physiography. This course embraces: The prin-
ciples of physiography as given in such texts as Davis, or

According to whether the course has covered one complete ses-
sion or only one-half session.

Desription of Entrance Subjects 35

CURRICULUM

ADMINISTRATION OF THE CURRICULUM

Registration

Students report first to the Registrar's office, where they
are registered and given their matriculation cards. They
then meet with the appropriate committees for classifica-
tion.

Classification

Students are expected to make themselves thoroughly fa-
miliar with the plan of the curriculum and to arrange their
courses so as to conform with its demands. By so doing
they will greatly reduce the necessarily arduous work of the
Committees.

First year students present their cards to the Committee
on Admission, and their courses are selected with the advice
of this Committee. All other students report to the Com-
mittee on Electives, who assist them in the writing up of
their courses. The matriculation cards are presented in turn
to the professors of the subjects selected, and when they
have been duly signed, are returned to the Registrar's office.

After a course has been agreed upon by the student, with
the advice of the Committee on Admission or the Committee
on Electives, no change will be allowed, unless the ques-
tion of the student's health be involved. All students must
be definitely classified within two weeks after their arrival
at the CoUege.

Attendance on Lectures.

Students are required to attend their lectures regularly and

Curriculum 37

promptly. Absence from courses without due excuse results
inevitably in the lowering of the student's standing. Pro-
fessors are authorized to require students to make up work
by taking written tests covering the periods lost through ab-
sence, whether the absence be excused or unexcused.

Attendance upon lectures is counted from the beginning
of each course, and students are held responsible accord-
ingly-

Examinations

1. General examinations are held twice a year, in Jan-
uary and in May. Failure to attend any of these examina-
tionSj for any cause other than sickness, results in the drop-
ping of the delinquent from the student body. In case of
absence from examination because of sickness, the student
will be given an opportunity to take the examination in
question at the regular time set for re-examinations. (See
below.)

2. Examinations for advanced standing upon work done
in some other institution, or in the summer, must be taken
at such time as may be arranged for by the professors whose
departments are concerned, provided that such examinations
may not be given later than December fifteenth for the first
semester's work, nor later than April fifteenth for the sec-
ond semester's work. These examinations for advanced
standing are more extended than ordinary examinations, be-
ing in no case less than five hours in duration. In the case
of failure on an examination for advanced standing, no re-
examination is permitted.

3. Re-examinations are allowed in case of conditional fail-
ure. These examinations for the first semester's work are
given in the second week of the second semester, and for the
second semester's work in the first week of the fall semes-

38 Agnes Scott College

ter next following. Those failing in the re-examination will
be required to repeat the course in question or forfeit the
credit. In no case will more than one re-examination be al-
lowed in the same subject.

In case of unconditional failure in a subject, no re-ex-
amination will be allowed.

4. If for any cause students find it advisable to apply
for examinations at any other time than that announced in
the regular schedule, or arranged for by the professors in-
volved, such applicants must present the Registrar's re-
ceipt for five dollars ($5.00) for each examination desired,
before the professors are authorized to give the same. Such
examinations are known as "Special" examinations.

This regulation applies to re-examinations as well as to
general and advanced examinations.

Semester and Year Credits

A semester credit is the value in half hours of any course
pursued through one semester. Thus, if a course scheduled
for three hours a week for one semester be taken, the re-
sulting credit towards the sixty-two hours required for the
degree is one hour and a half. A year credit is the value
in hours of a course pursued throughout the year. Thus, a
course scheduled for three hours a week for the Avhole year
will give a credit of three hours towards the degree.

Merit Hours

The grades announced to students as the indication of
their success or failure in any course are: "Passed with
Merit", "Passed", "Failed with privilege of re-examination"^
or "Failed". In order to attain the Bachelor of Arts de-
gree, a student must receive the grade, "Passed with Merit"
on at least thirty of the sixty-two hours required for the

Curriculum 39

degree. Of these thirty "Merit" hours, at least six must be
made in the Senior year. On the remaining thirty-two hours
the grade "Passed" must be made.

Required Residence

The degree will not be conferred upon any student who
has not done at least one full session of work in residence.

Automatic Exclusion

It is the purpose of the College to extend every possible
encouragement to students in their work, and to deal in fair-
ness and sympathy with all who are unable to meet satisfact-
orily the demands of its standards. It is clearly recognized
that there are many who require time for the readjustments
of college life, and abundant experience has shown that, some
of those who are slow in adapting themsfjlves to the new
environment afterwards develop into strong and thoughtful
students. The first year in college is neccssardy a time of
testing, and in somes cases the whole of this year is needed
for a fair trial of the student's possibilities. On the other
hand, it would seem dishonest to the standard of the College,
to the student herself, and to her parents, to retain her in
the institution after her inability to achieve definite results
has been clearly established. Therefore the following rule
of exclusion has been adopted and put into operation:

"Any student whose work is notably unsatisfactory at the
end of the first semester shall be put on probation for the
remainder of the year. If at the end of the year she shall
have failed to make credits to the extent of at least two year
courses, amounting to not less than five hours towards the
degree, she shall be considered to have excluded herself auto-
matically from the College."

Agnes Scott College
THE BACHELOR OF ARTS DEGREE

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 development.

The groups are as follows:

GROUP I

GROUP II

GROUP III

T/ATfOUAOE

History

Science

LiTEHATUBE

Philosophy

Mathematics

English

Sociology and

Astronomy

Latin

Economics

Biology

Greek

History

Chemistry

German

Philosophy

Home Economics

French

Bible

Mathematics

Spanish

Physics

Requirements for the 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. Since the de-
sign of the curriculum is to reserve elective courses for the
more mature years of the student, the Committees will al-
low postponement of the work prescribed for the Freshman

Curriculum 41

and Sophomore years only in such cases as may for special
reasons demand this procedure. (See Note 5, page 43.)
*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 11/2 hours

History 3 hours

Bible 31/2 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 settled
by the beginning of the Junior year.

Major courses are offered in the following subjects:
English^ French, German, Latin, History, Biology, Chemistry,
Physics, Mathematics, and Philosophy.

(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.

*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 87.

42 AoNEs Scott College

(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.

(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. 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.

4. For the requirements as to "Merit" hours and residence,
see pages 38, 39.

Outline of Courses

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 department, 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.

Curriculum 48

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.

Note 6. Subjects prescribed for the Sophomore year
may be postponed until some future year, with the consent
of the Committee on Electives, provided the change is sought
for one or more of the following reasons: (1) To afford
opportunity for the continuation of a subject, or subjects,
begun in the Freshman year. (2) To make possible the
beginning of a major subject in which the student is particu-
larly interested. (3) To enable the student to take Philos-
ophy 1 as a pre-requisite for desired courses in Education.

MUSIC

Phofessoe Maclean. Mr. Dieckmann.

Mb. Johnson. Miss Hunt.

Mbs. Johnson.

The Music Department oflPers 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 as 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
literary courses of the College.

DEPARTMENT I.

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

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

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

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

BUILDINGS AND EQUIPMENT

The buildings of the College, eighteen in number, includ-
ing several cottages occupied by members of the faculty, are
situated upon a well shaded and spacious campus of rare nat-
ural beauty. With the exception of the White House, the In-
firmary and the Laundry, all the principal buildings are sub-
stantially constructed of brick, with trimmings of granite,
limestone, or marble. Readers of this Bulletin will be es-
pecially interested in such of these buildings as form the work-
ing plant of the institution, and so the following brief descrip-
tion is given. Application may be made to the Registrar for
any special information that may be desired concerning the
halls of residence.

Academic Halls

The Agnes Scott Hall was the gift of the late Colonel
George W. Scott, the revered and generous friend of the
College by whose munificence its existence was originally
made possible. This building contains the offices of adminis-
tration, besides various lecture-rooms, reception rooms, the
Art studio, and piano practice rooms. It is centrally situated
and easily accessible from all parts of the campus. (See also
Residence Halls, below.)

The Carnegie Library, the gift of Mr. Andrew Carnegie,

98 Agnes Scott College

is a two-story structure containing a lofty and spacious read-
ing-room, librarian's offices, special department study rooms,
and stack space for twenty thousand volumes. The College
library, occupying the Carnegie building, consists of over
seven thousand carefully selected volumes, exclusive of pamph-
lets, etc. The most approved card index system of cata-
loguing and the services of a trained librarian render all
books easily available to students. The reading-rooms are
supplied with the leading literary, scientific, and educational
magazines, and with journals of music and art. In addi-
tion to the general library, mention should be made of the
scientific library in Lowry Hall, and of the excellent col-
lections belonging to the two literary societies.

The Lowry Hall affords excellent accommodation for the
departments of Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. It is
equipped throughout with all appliances necessary for the
proper teaching of these subjects, including electricity,
gas, and hot and cold water, both in the lecture-rooms and
in the various laboratories. On the left side of the main
entrance is a bronze tablet with this inscription:

"This Science Hall is perpetually endowed by Robert J.
and Emma C. Lowry in Memory of their Son, William
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.

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

General Information 99

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.

In addition to these laboratories a geological museum is
being equipped, and already a considerable number of fossils
and mineralogical specimens are on hand. This museum will
be 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, a large
and well-equipped laboratory, and two store rooms.

The Home Economics Hall contains, on its lower floor,
a lecture-room, a laboratory, with individual equipment for
work in food preparation, home sanitation, nutrition, and
dietetics, and a model dining-room attractively furnished for
the proper serving of meals. The upper floor of the build-
ing is occupied by the lecture-rooms of English and Philoso-
phy-

The Gymnasium Hall is a three story building contain-
ing, besides the gymnasium proper, various lecture-rooms.
The entire lower floor, forty by eighty feet in extent, is de-
voted to the department of Physical Culture. The exercise
hall is adequately equipped with apparatus for the work of
physical development. Adjoining the exercise hall, and
opening into it, is the natatorium, containing shower baths
and lockers, as well as a moderate sized swimming pool.

Residence Halls

There are four residence halls, giving dormitory space for
two hundred and fifty students. All these buildings
are comfortably equipped, lighted by electricity i-nd heated
by steam, and all contain' both double and single rooms.

100 Agnes Scott College

Each floor of every hall is furnished with conveniently placed
groups of bath-rooms, with hot and cold water. All rooms
are furnished with single beds, and other necessary equip-
ment, including a clothes press or wardrobe for each occu-
pant. Abundant fire escapes, together with hose, fire buckets,
and extinguishers on every floor, reduce to a minimum the
danger of fire; but as an additional precaution the residence
halls are under the constant and careful supervision of a
watchman who is on duty all of every night.

The Rebekah Scott Hall, a memorial to the late Mrs.
Rebekah Scott, wife of Colonel George W. Scott, contains,
besides two dormitory floors, the College Chapel, the halls
of the two literary societies, a large dining-room, a commo-
dious lobby, and various reception rooms. A colonnade con-
nects this building with the Agnes Scott Hall and thus
renders available for the latter building the dining-room of
the former.

The Agnes Scott Hall contains, besides the administra-
tive offices, lecture-rooms, etc., above referred to, dormitory
space for about seventy-five students.

The Jennie D. Inman Hall, a gift to the College of the
late Samuel Martin Inman (for many years the honored
Chairman of the Board of Trustees), as a memorial to his
deceased wife, has three floors devoted entirely to bed-rooms.
The wide veranda of the building is extended to meet that
of the White House, in which is located the dining-room for
both these halls.

N The White House aff'ords accommodation for a number of
the ladies of the faculty, and has besides limited space for
the occupation of students. The entire lower floor of this

General Information 101

building is occupied by the dining-room, kitchen, pantries,
etc.

Auxiliary Buildings

The Alumnae Infirmary, a well-built two-story house,
situated south of Lowry Hall, was added to the College
plant through the efforts of the alumnas. The building has
been arranged so that it is admirably adapted to its pur-
pose. The rooms are large, well heated and lighted, and are
furnished with all appliances necessary for a modern hos-
pital.

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

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 electric
and steam plant, is operated for the benefit of the College
community.

MEMORIAL FUNDS

The George W. Scott Foundation

In November, 1909, citizens of Decatur, in order to ex-
press their affectionate admiration of one of the town's most
useful and public spirited men, and at the same time to as-
sist in perpetuating the work of the College which had been
so dear to his heart, contributed the sum of $29,000 for the
establishment of "The George W. Scott Memorial Founda-
tion", for the endowment of some department of the Col-
lege, the exact disposition of the fund being left to the di-

102 Agnes Scott College

rection of the Board of Trustees. The income from this
fund is for the present applied to the maintenance of the
department of the English Bible.

The Lowry Foundation

As a tribute to the memory of their deceased son, Edwin
Markham Lowry, Mr. and Mrs. Robert J. Lowry, of Atlanta
have contributed to the College the sum of $25,000. The
income from this fund is applied towards the maintenance
of the natural sciences, and in recognition of the generosity
of the donors, the science building has been given the name
"Lowry Hall".

Scholarship Foundations

The W. a. Moore Scholarship Fund. Under the will of
the late William A. Moore, a ruling elder of the First Pres-
byterian Church of Atlanta, the College received, in 1892,
a legacy of $5,000. The will of Mr. Moore provides that
"this sum shall be held as a permanent fund or endowment
for the education at this College of worthy girls of Pres-
byterian parents who are unable to provide a collegiate edu-
cation for their daughters", the same to be permanently in-
vested and only the interest used. Scholarships under this
fund are annually awarded as directed by the provisions of
Mr. Moore's will.

The Eugenia Mandeville Watkins Fund. In memory
of the late Mrs. Homer Watkins, formerly Miss Eugenia
Mandeville, an early graduate of the College, her father,
Mr. L. C. Mandeville, and her husband, Mr. Homer Watkins,
have given to the College the sum of $6,500, to endow a
scholarship. The income from this sum will be used to as-

General Information 103

sist worthy and needy young women in securing an educa-
tion in this College.

GENERAL SCHOLARSHIPS

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

The Alumnae Scholarships. The alumnae have caught
the spirit of helpfulness which characterizes theiri Alma
Mater, and have established two scholarship funds for the
benefit of worthy applicants who are in need of such as-
sistance. They have given to the College the sum of $1,000,
the income from which is known as "The Alumnae Scholar-
ship". The amount of this aid is $60.00 annually. In ad-
dition to this, they have recently begun a fund, to be known
as "The Alumnffi Loan Fund", the interest, from which is
to be used annually for the assistance of those who wish to
borrow money for the completion of their courses in the
College. See page 113.

The Young Women's Christian Association Scholar-
ship. The Young Women's Christian Association of the Col-
lege offers a loan amounting to $100.00 annually, to be ap-
plied to the expenses of a deserving student who needs finan-
cial help. The College greatly appreciates the generous spirit
of co-operation which has prompted this movement on the
part of the Association. For details as to the obtaining of
this aid, communications should be addressed to the Presi-
dent of the College.

104 Agnes Scott College

The Decatur Loan Scholarship. Offered by the Ladies'
Aid Society of the Decatur Presbyterian Church. This is
the beginning of a movement which it is hoped will spread
to many other such organizations. The amount of this loan
is $50.00 annually. Application should be made through the
President of the College.

Music and Art Scholarships. Scholarships paying tuition
for one session in Piano, Voice Culture, and Art, are offered.

When a patron finds it necessary to defer payment of

General Information 107

bills when due^ special arrangements must be made with the
President. In all such cases, the Board of Trustees has
directed that notes be taken bearing five per cent interest.

The Laboratory fee must be paid on entering classes in
Chemistry, Biology, Home Economics, or Physics for entire
session, and will not be refunded. Students on entering
classes must present Treasurer's receipt. In addition a de-
posit of two dollars is required of Chemistry students. This
will be refunded at the end of the session except so much as
is necessary to pay for breakage of returnable apparatus.

The College employs a resident physician and a resident
trained nurse. It also maintains an Infirmary with the con-
veniences of a modern hospital. The patrons are asked to
share the expense of these arrangements for providing for
their daughters in sickness, and safeguarding their health,
by the payment of a medical fee of $5.00 for the session.
This fee is payable on entrance and will not be refunded,
as all plans are made for the year.

The College provides a diet table, which is under the di-
rect control of the resident physician. Students needing
special diet are sent to this table for definite periods of time.
If a j)rolonged stay seems necessary, an additional charge for
board will be made, to defray the increased cost to the Col-
lege.

Rooms are either double or single. For a single room,
occupied by choice, an extra charge of $25.00 is made for
the year.

No student will be received for less than a full term, or
the portion of the term remaining after entrance. The
professors are engaged and all arrangements made for the
scholastic year, and the College obligates itself to furnish the
advantages thus provided for the session. The entering of

108 Agnes Scott College

a student is a corresponding obligation on the part of the
patron to continue the student to the end of the session. In
the event of withdrawal on account of sickness, the amount paid
for board and laundry in advance of date of leaving will be
refunded, but not amount paid for tuition.

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

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

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

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

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

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

It is recommended that a deposit of $10.00 be made with
the bookkeeper to pay for books and stationery. These are
sold at the College at city prices for cash. Patrons must not
ask to have them charged and put on their bills, as no ac-
counts are open 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.

General Information 109

The College will 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 cer-
tificate.

All dues to the College must be paid before either diploma
or certificate will he awarded.

The College exercises every precaution to protect property
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 to extend, as fas as possible, the hospitality
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.

Students holding College scholarships will not be given any
further discounts.

110 Agnes Scott College

In no case will two discounts be given the same student.

A discount of $100 on tuition will be made to ministers
regularly engaged in their calling who send their daughters
as boarding students. All other charges, including 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. Branches under the head Special
will be charged for 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 he made for holidays. Students not
returning after Christmas will he charged to end of term.

The boarding department will be closed during the Christ-
mas holidays. One dormitory will be kept open and ar-
rangements for meals can be made.

STUDENT ACTIVITIES

The student organizations and publications occupy a
most important place in the community life of the College,
and are commended as valuable educational aids in the work
of training young women for the highest efficiency. It will
be evident that these enterprises entail a certain amount of
financial expenditure. In order to reduce this expense to a
minimum, and at the same time to insure the continued life
and activity of the various necessary developments of the

General Information 111

student body, a general co-operative plan has been devised
by the students, which will be put into operation by them for
the first time in the beginning of the session of 1916-17.
This plan is as follows: At some time in the early fall, an
opportunity will be given to all students to contribute five
dollars ($6.00) towards the general support of College com-
munity enterprises for the fall semester. At the beginning
of the spring semester, a similar opportunity will be given
for a similar contribution to be applied to the support
of these enterprises for the remainder of the session.
Thus, by the paying of ten dollars ($10.00) in the
course of the year, the student will be relieved of the
frequent assessments which will otherwise be necessary. This
contribution is, of course, entirely voluntary, but it would be
well for those who are interested in the activities described
below to understand approximately what financial demand
will be made upon them, and to come prepared to meet it.

Organizations

The Student Government Association. This organi-
zation, 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 academic. Its mem-
bership includes all the students. The most gratifying re-
sults 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 ma-
jority, and the true co-operative spirit.

Young Women's Christian Association. The objects of
this Association are:

To develop the spiritual life of the students.

112 Agnes Scott College

To co-operate 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 stu-
dents. While their programs 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 ap-
propriately furnished and admirably adapted to its purpose.

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

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.

General Information 113

The Agonistic. A weekly newspaper published by the
student body. It has as its object the promotion of loyalty
to the College and the dissemination of local news.

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 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 practical 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.

ALUMNAE ASSOCIATION

During the Commencement of 1895 the Agnes Scott
Alumnae Association was organized. The object of the Asso-

114 Agnes Scott College

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
lier college course. From that date all unpaid loans or part^
of loans will begin to draw interest at six per cent until paid.

Applications for loans should be made to the President of
