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-
tian 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 vdth 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.

Only graduates of four-year preparatory schools of recog-
nized standing, or applicants who can offer equivalent prepa-
ration, will be received into the College. (For the admission
of special students, see page 20.)

liToTE Beginning with the fall semester of 1921, only those
applicants who can present fifteen complete units, in subjects
accepted by this College, will be recommended for admission.
(See page 23 for changes in admission requirements to go
into effect in 1921).

Applicants for admission should not be under sixteen years
of age. Candidates for advanced standing should be of an
age corresponding to this rule.

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 the
beginning of the 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 21.

For entrance examinations, see pages 21, 22.

Admission op Students 17

II. As Conditioned Freshmen. Prior to the session begin-
ning September, 1921, applicants desiring to enter for the
B.A, degree, who can not offer at entrance the full fifteen
units required for unconditioned admission, may be admitted
as conditioned Freshmen, if they present a minimum of thir-
teen unconditioned units. The remaining units necessary
to complete the required fifteen may be assumed as conditions,
with the following restrictions :

1. 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.

2. Unconditioned work to the following extent must be
offered :

(a) English to the extent of two and one-half units.

(b) Mathematics to the extent of two units.

(c) Latin to the extent of two units, if the minor re-
quirement be chosen ; or,

(d) Latin to the extent of three units, if the major re-
quirement be chosen.

3. Fifteen complete units, including the prescribed units,
must be presented before the beginning of the second year.

Conditions (except in the case of a modern language or
Greek) must be removed at the student's expense and with-
out faculty instruction.

III. As Irregular Students. Applicants 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. Prior to the session beginning Sep-
tember, 1921, such students may present a minimum of thir-

18 Agkes Scott College

teen units upon entrance. Of this number five are prescribed
namely, English 3 and Mathematics 2. The remaining eight
units are elective and may be chosen from the list of sub-
jects accepted for entrance (pages 14, 16). Fifteen complete
units must be presented before the beginning of the second
year.

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.

rV. 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.

b. An oflBcial 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
upon a blank provided by Agnes Scott College for this pur-
pose.

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

Admission of Students 19

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 re-
quirements.

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 of liberal arts which offers
the B.A. degree, but which is not a member of any one of
the associations referred to above, she may possibly, 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 com-
pletion 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, nor will the degree
be conferred upon such an applicant until she has completed
at least thirty year-hours of work in this College.

20 Agnes Scott College

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

6. 'No credit will be allowed for courses taken by corre-
spondence, except upon advanced standing examinations given
by this College.

7. The B.A. degree will not be conferred on any student
who has not done at least fifteen hours of work in residence
for one complete session immediately preceding graduation.

Note: A candidate for advanced standing may expect
some unavoidable loss of credit in transferring from another
college.

V. As Special Students. In accordance with the regu-
lation prescribed by "The Association of Colleges and
Secondary Schools of the Southern States/' candidates of
maturity, who are unable, for any cause, to present the en-
trance requirements, may be admitted to such courses as they
may be prepared to take, provided these courses are not among
those covered by the entrance requirements. This provision
is intended to afford an opportunity to two classes of women :
(1) Those who have completed their entrance requirements
so long since as to render them void; (2) Those whose pre-
paratory work has been interrupted in the past and never
resumed. The following limitations should be observed:

1. Applicants must be not less than twenty years of age
at the time of application.

2. They may not matriculate in any courses covered by
the entrance requirements without first satisfying the require-
ments in those subjects.

Admission" op Students 21

3. They have no class standing. If they desire later to
transfer to the regular degree course, they must first satisfy
the full entrance requirements.

4. If they have completed the entrance requirements in
accredited schools not more than two years previously, they
will be expected to submit the certificates of such schools,
and enter as "regular," or as "irregular" students, and not
as "special" students.

MANNER OF ADMISSION

Admission hy 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 not
more than two years prior to the candidate's application for
admission. 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
should arrive at the College by noon Tuesday, September
14th. The September schedule is as follows :

The requirement in English has two branches, Ehetoric and

uous throughout the four years of the high-school course.

branch of collegiate work that the student be able to express
herself, both orally and in writing, with correctness and clear-
ness.

1. There should he practice in writing, the equivalent of
at least one theme a weeTc during the four years of her pre-

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.

ticular attention should be given to the structure of the
sentence, paragraph, and whole composition.

in a Villa ^Down in the City, The Italian in England, The
Patriot, The Pied Piper, De Gustibus; Arnold, Sohrab and
Eustum and The Forsaken Merman ; selections from American
poetry, with especial attention to Poe, Lowell, Longfellow,
and Whittier.

2. Study and Practice (1920-21). This part of the ex-
amination presupposes the thorough study of the works
named below. The examinations will be upon subject-
matter, form, and structure. This requirement means that

38 Agnes Scott College

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. Shakespere: Julius Caesar, 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 Lincoln's
Speech at Cooper Union. Washington's Farewell Address
and Webster's First Bunker Hill Oration.

D. Essays. Carlyle: Essay on Burns, with a selection
from Burns' 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.

CURRICULUM

ADMINISTRATION OF THE CURRICULUM

REGISTRATION

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

Note If, for any cause, a student fails to register in time
to attend her first scheduled lecture, either at the beginning
of a semester or on returning from a vacation, she is charged
a fee of $5.00 for late registration.

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 thia Committee. On or before April fifteenth, all stu-
dents at that time in residence are required to file with the
Registrar tentative statements of their courses for the next
ensuing year. These programmes are reviewed by the Com-
mittee on Electives and approved or revised. The cards,
with the courses entered upon them in due form, are obtained
from the Registrar in the fall, presented to the professors of
the subjects, and, when they have been properly signed, re-
turned to the Registrar's ofiBce.

Curriculum 41

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 permitted, unless the question
of the student's health be involved. All students must be
definitely classified within two weeks after their arrival at
the College.

ATTENDANCE ON LECTURES

Students are required to attend their lectures regularly and
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.

EXAMINATIONS

1. General examinations are held twice a year, in Jan-
uary and in May. Failure to attend any of these examina-
tions, 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-

42 Agnes Scott College

ing in no case less than five liours in duration. In the case
of failure on an examination for advanced standing, no re-
examination is permitted.

3. Ee-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-
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 Eegistrar'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 whole year
will give a credit of three hours towards the degree.

Curriculum 43

MERIT POINTS

Grades indicating the student's standing in any course
are officially recorded as follows: "A/' excellent attainment;
"B," very good attainment; "C" good attainment; "D,''
passable attainment; "E/' failure, with privilege of re-exam-
ination; "F/' unconditional failure. The grades "A/' "B,"
and "C," are known as "merit" grades, each of these letters
denoting a certain number of "merit points." In order to
attain the Bachelor of Arts degree, a student must be cred-
ited with at least thirty of these merit points, not fewer than
six of which must be made in her senior year. On the re-
maining hours of the course a grade of at least "D" must
be made.

Exact grades are not announced to students, their reports
containing only the information, "Passed with merit,"
"Passed," or "Failed."

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

Any student whose work is notably unsatisfactory at the
end of the first semester is considered to have excluded herself
automatically from the College, unless by vote of the faculty
she 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 automatically from the College for the
next ensuing year.

Note. In addition to the enforcement of the above law,
the College reserves the right to request the withdrawal of

44

Agnes Scott College

students who can not remain in residence without danger
to their own health or to the health of others, or whose pres-
ence is found to lower the moral tone of the College. Stu-
dents of this last class may be asked to withdraw, even though
no specific charges be made against them.

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, to-
gether 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

IjITEBATXJEE

Philosophy

Mathematics

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

Curriculum 45

physical education. Of the remaining sixty hours thirty and
one-half are prescribed and twenty-nine and one-half elec-
tive. All courses are planned and electives chosen with the
advice of the Committee on Admission or the Committee on
Electives. Since the design of the curriculum is to reserve
elective courses for the more mature years of the student,
the Committees will allow postponement of the work pre-
scribed for the Freshman and Sophomore years only in such
cases as may for special reasons demand this procedure. (See
Section (10) page 47.)

*1. The prescribed hours are as follows :

English 6 hours

A Modern Language, or Greek 6 hours

Mathematics 3 hours

Two of the three sciences, Biology, Chem-
istry, or Physics 6 hours

History 3 hours

Bible SV2 hours

Philosophy 3 hours

30% hours

2. The elective hours are to be distributed 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,

*One hour semester courses in Hygiene and Spoken English are
required of all Freshmen and Sophomores respectively.

The Spoken English is not counted towards the degree. For
Hygiene, see page 97.

46 Agnes Scott College

Physics, Mathematics, Philosophy, Sociology, and English
Bible.

Note. The following may not be elected to satisfy group
requirements as to the major or the allied hours :

(1) Elementary courses (with the exception of the first
year course in a third science).

(2) Courses in Music, Art History, and Spoken English.

(b) The remaining hours necessary to complete the re-
quired sixty-two hours may be chosen at will, subject to
the following restrictions :

(1) Not more than six hours may be taken in any one
department in any given semester.

(2) Students offering for entrance two languages in ad-
dition to Latin must continue one of these two languages in
the Freshman year. Those offering for entrance Latin and
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 Freshman
year.

(3) Students offering for entrance four units of Latin
and no additional foreign language must take in the Fresh-
man year the elementary course in French, German, Spanish,
or Greek. This elementary course will be counted toward the
degree only on condition that it be followed in Greek by
Course 1 or Course 4, in the other languages by Course 1.

(4) Students offering four units in Latin for entrance,
even from accredited schools, who do not wish to continue
Latin in College, are required to pass an examination cover-

Curriculum 47

ing both the Latin read in the last preparatory year and the
entrance requirement in Latin prose composition,

(5) Students oilering for entrance one unit in a third lan-
guage must continue this third language in College, or take
an examination on the work offered.

(6) One year of a foreign language may be counted in
making up the requirements for the degree only when that
language is the fourth foreign language that the student has
taken.

(7) If a third language is taken in College for entrance
credit, it must be continued through Course 1.

(8) Students who do not offer at least one of the
three sciences, biology, chemistry, or physics, for entrance,
must take one of these subjects in the Freshman year and
another of the three later. Those offering one or more of
these sciences for entrance, may elect history instead of
science in the Freshman year, taking one of the sciences in
her Sophomore year and the other in the Junior or Senior
year.

(9) Students electing Group D (see pages 49, 50), but
who do not major in science or mathematics, are required to
take, in addition to the science and mathematics prescribed
for all students, an advanced course of three hours in the
third of the three sciences, biology, chemistry, physics, or
three additional hours in mathematics.

(10) Subjects prescribed for the Freshman or the Soph-
omore year may not be postponed later than the Junior year,
and then only upon the advice of the Committee on Admis-
sion, in the case of first year students, or the Committee on
Electives, in the case of advanced students.

48 Agnes Scott College

3. In order to receive the two hours of credit required
in physical education, the student must have completed
three years of work in this department. Special arrange-
ments will be made for those entering with advanced stand-
ing.

4. For the requirements as to "merit points" and resi-
dence see page 43.

MUSIC

Professob Dieckmann Mb. Johnson

Miss Sutphen Miss Phillips

Miss Babtholomew Mr. Flick

The Music Department offers through its various courses
in the theoretical and practical study of music, in connection
with studies in the College, adequate facilities to fit students
for a professional life, and also to provide for the study of
music as a part of general culture or 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 department 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 credit for it, and special students of
music may avail themselves of the training offered in the
literary courses of the College.

DEscRiPTioisr or Courses 99

Degree Credit

Credit toward the degree will be allowed for courses in
music under the following conditions :

1. The student must pass a satisfactory examination in
Course 1, (see page 100), and demonstrate a sufficient techni-
cal ability to play correctly with regard to position of hands,
fingering, phrasing, rhythm, tempo, and d3niamic effects
works of the grade of the simpler two-part inventions of
Bach; C major and G- major sonatas of Mozart; and some
of the simpler Songs Without "Words, of Mendelssohn.

Note. This requirement, when offered at entrance into
College, will be accepted, upon examination only, as one unit
in the elective group.

2. Students who have met the above requirement may
receive credit for practical music to the extent of two hours
a year for three years upon the satisfactory completion of
the following work:

a. Two lessons weekly of half an hour each in piano or
organ.

b. One hour and a half of practice daily for six days each
week.

c. Theoretical work amounting to at least one credit hour
in addition to the two hours of practical credit.

3. The total possible credit in practical music shall not
exceed six hours, and the total possible credit for practical
and theoretical music shall not exceed nine hours.

Note 1. If credit courses in Spoken English be likewise
elected, not more than nine hours of music and Spoken Eng-
lish combined will be allowed to count towards the degree.

BUILDINGS AND EQUIPMENT

The buildings of the College, twenty 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. Eeaders 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 Hails

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 Building, the gift of Mr. Andrew
Carnegie, is a two-story structure containing a lofty and spa-

108 Agnes Scott College

cious reading-room, librarian's offices, special department
study rooms, and stack space for twenty thousand volumes.
The most approved card index system of cataloguing and the
services of a trained librarian render all books easily available
to students. The reading-room is supplied with the leading
literary, scientific and educational magazines, and with jour-
nals of music and art. In addition to the general library,
mention should be made of the scientific library in Lowry
Hall. The library is open every day, except Sundays and holi-
days, from 8 a. m. to 1 p. m., from 2 to 6 p. m., and from
7 to 9 p. m.

The Lowrt Hall affords excellent accommodation for
the departments of biology, chemistry, and physics. It is

lecture-rooms of the departments of philosophy, education,
and English.

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, in addition to three cottages,
giving dormitory space for three hundred and seventeen.
All these buildings are comfortably equipped, lighted by
electricity and heated by steam, and all contain both double
and single rooms. 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 equipment, including a clothes press or wardrobe
for each occupant. Abundant fire escapes, together with hose.

110 Agxes Scott College

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 super-
vision of a watchman who is on duty all of every night.

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

The Eebekah 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 debating 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 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.

The White House affords 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
building is occupied by the dining-room, kitchen, pantries,
etc.

Three Cottages, situated on the campus, offer accommo-
dation for about thirty students. These cottages are com-
fortably furnished and supplied with all modern conveniences. .

General Information 111

Assignments of space in them will be made only upon special
request.

Auxiliary Buiidings

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 alumnae. The building has
been arranged so that it is admirably adapted to its pur-
pose.

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.

mencement at which it is awarded.

The Alumna Scholarships. The alumnae have caught
the spirit of helpfulness which characterizes their Alma Mater,
and have established two scholarship funds for the benefit
of worthy applicants who are in need of such assistance.
They have given to the College the sum of $1,000, the in-
come from which is known as "The Alumnae Scholarship."
The amount of this aid is $60.00 annually. In addition to

NOTES

All who have engaged rooms prior to the opening of the
session will be charged from the beginning of the session.

When a patron finds it necessary to defer payment of
bills when due, special arrangements must be made with the
President or Treasurer. In all such cases, the Board of Trus-

118 Agnes Scott College

tees has directed that notes be taken bearing six per cent,
interest.

The Laboratory fee must be paid on entering classes in
Chemistry, Biology, or Physics for the entire session, and
will not be refunded. In addition a deposit of two dollars
is required of Chemistry students. This will be refunded at
the end of the session except so much as is necessary to pay
for breakage of returnable apparatus.

The maintenance fee is payable in advance and will not be
refunded.

The Treasurer's receipt for both fees is required before
admission to classes.

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 charge for medical fee
included in the general charge, page 116, is $10.00 for session
and will not be refunded.

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
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 of the student,
the amount paid for board and laundry in advance of date of
leaving will be refunded, hut not amount paid for tuition.

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

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

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.

The College will not advance money to students.

In cases of protracted sichness or contagious diseases,
parents must provide a nurse at their own expense.

Patrons must pay for medicines and for consultations.

General Information 121

ceived for less than a quarter of the session, and then only

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.

Furniture

The College supplies each room with bedstead, bureau, ward-
robe, washstand, chairs, mattress, pillows, and crockery.
Each student should bring with her sheets, blankets,
counterpanes, pillow-cases (35 x 22), towels, napkins, napkin-
ring, teaspoon, and any articles, as rugs, curtains, etc., of use
or ornament desired for her room. The bed clothing "should
be the size used for single or three-quarter beds.

All articles, including trunks, must be plainly and durably
marked with the name of the owner. Eailure to comply
with this requirement causes great inconvenience and some-
times loss.

Arrivals at Night

Students arriving in Atlanta in time for the opening of
College in September and after the Christmas holidays are
met by representatives of the College without charge.

At other times a chaperon's fee of $2.50 will be charged
for meeting trains before 9 P. M. and $5.00 for meeting trains
after that hour.

Guests

The College regrets that it has been found necessary to
limit the free hospitality it has heretofore extended. Since
every space in the dormitories is occupied by faculty and

122 Agnes Scott College

students, guests can not be entertained without serious in-
convenience except from Saturday to Monday. At such
times, after consultation with the Dean, vacancies caused by
the temporary absence of students may be utilized for guests
at a charge of one dollar a day. Whether guests are being
entertained for the week-end or for a single meal, permission
must be obtained from the Dean and meal tickets procured
at the business office.

The above regulations do not apply to the alumnae. When
they desire to visit the College they are asked to communicate
with the Dean stating the date and the length of the pro-
posed visit.

All guests are expected to conform to the dormitory regula-
tions.

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
student body, a general co-operative plan has been devised
by the students, which was 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 is given to all students to contribute $7.50
towards the general support of College community en-
terprises for the fall semester. At the beginning of the
spring semester, a similar opportunity is given for a similar
contribution for the remainder of the session. Thus, by the

General Information 123

paying of fifteen dollars ($15.00) in the course of the year,
the student is relieved of the frequent assessments which will
otherwise be necessary. This contribution is, of course, en-
tirely voluntary, but it would be well for those who are
interested in the general, activities described below to under-
stand approximately what financial demand will be made upon
them, and to come prepared to meet it.

Note. The organizations here named are those involving
the entire student body. The various other organizations,
literary, dramatic, honorary, and social, are, of course, limited
in membership and so are not covered by the $15.00 of the
budget system.

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.

To co-operate with other student associations in the general
work of the Young Women's Christian Association.

To do all possible to advance the Kingdom of God.

The various departments of Association work are well
organized and render eflBcient service. The Association has

124 Agxes Scott College

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.

Debating Societies. Two debating societies contribute
much to the social life and literary attainments of the stu-
dents. The Mnemosynean Society was organized in 1891
and the Propylean Society in 1897. Each society has an at-
tractive hall appropriately 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 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 op-
portunities for outdoor basket-ball, tennis, and field hockey.

Publications

The students issue the following publications:

The Aurora. A quarterly magazine devoted to the devel-
opment of literary effort among the students. I

The Silhouette. 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 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.

General Information 125

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 regular Sunday evening service and the mission study
classes, conducted by the Young Women's Christian Associa-
tion, are largely attended, as is also the tri-weeldy vesper
service held in the chapel under the leadership of members
of the faculty.

APPOINTMENT COMIVIITTEE

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 Alum-
nae Association was organized. The purpose of the Associa-
tion is to promote the welfare of the College and its alumnae
by increasing the interest of its members in the College and
in each other.

The work of the general Association is conducted largely
through the Alumnae Council and the standing committees,
the annual meeting being held in Atlanta during Commence-
ment week. Two alumnae represent the Association on the
Board of Trustees.

126 Agnes Scott College

The Association has established the Agnes Scott Aid
League, which will lend money to students who need to bor-
row 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, 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 and 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 as follows :

President Mary Wallace Kirk, '11, 209 South Cave St.,
Tuscumbia, Ala.

Vice-President Mrs. Harold B. Wey, '12, 287 Myrtle St.,
Atlanta, Ga.

Secretary Catherine Parker, '16, 12 Avery Drive, Atlanta,
Ga.

Treasurer Florence N. Smith, '13, 516 West Peachtree
Street, Atlanta, Ga.

BEQUESTS

Gifts to the College may take the form of funds for the
establishment of scholarships or professorships; of additions
to the material equipment; or of contributions to the general
endowment fund. Special conditions may, of course, be at-
tached to any gift.

Form of Bequest

I give and bequeath to The Trustees of Agnes Scott
College, a Corporation established by law in the Common-

General Information 127

wealth of Georgia, the sum of $ .to be
