AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE

The purpose which has prevailed at Agnes Scott since its
foundation has been to offer the very best educational advan-
tages under positive Christian influences the training and
furnishing of the mind in a modern, well-equipped college, and
at the same time the formation and development of Christian
character and ideals. Along with these ends, it is constantly
sought to cultivate true womanliness, a womanliness which
combines strength with gentleness and refinement. It is thus the
aim of the College to send out educated Christian women to
be a power in blessing the world and glorifying God.

The College was founded by Presbyterians, and hence its
moral standards and religious life conform as nearly as possi-
ble to those which obtain in that church. Special care, however,
is taken not to interfere in any way with the religious views or
church preferences of students.

The college offers only the B.A. degree. There are, how-
ever, optional courses leading to this degree, thus giving the
opportunity for each student to elect a course most in accord
with her special talent and plans.

ADMISSION OF STUDENTS

There are four main considerations for the acceptance of a
student: (1) the excellence of her preparation, as evidenced by
a certificate or an examination; (2) her character and ability,
shown by testimonials, and a psychological test; (3) a satis-
factory health report; (4) the date of her application for ad-
mission.

Only graduates of four-year preparatory schools of recogniz-
ed standing, or applicants who can offer equivalent preparation,
representing four years of work in a recognized institution,
will be received into the College. For the admission of special
students, see page 23.

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

A deposit of $25.00 is required of all students before room
space is reserved. This should be sent to the Registrar, either
in New York exchange or Postal Money Order, made payable
to Agnes Scott College. If by local check, the usual clearing
house collection charges should be added.

The above deposit is credited on the September payment. If
for any reason the student finds it impracticable to attend
Agnes Scott and asks for the return of her fee, the request will
be granted provided it Teaches the College on or before June
30th, prior to the opening of College. After that date it will

18 Agnes Scott College

not be returned unless the preparation of the applicant is
insufficient or unless the College finds it impossible to take
her on account of lack of space.

For entrance requirements, and for description of entrance
subjects, see below.

For admission by certificate, see page 25.

For entrance examinations, see page 25.

Admission of Students 19

A unit represents a year's study of one of the above subjects
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 entrance requirement work in French, German and
Spanish may be done in College after entrance, but will not
count towards the degree.

Not more than four units may be offered in History and
Civics, and not more than four in Science.

STANDING TO WHICH STUDENTS ARE ADMITTED

The College admits students:

(I) As unconditioned Freshmen;

(II) As conditioned Freshmen;

(III) As irregular students;

(IV) To advanced standing;

(V) As special students.

While these five classifications are recognized, the College
gives preference to those in the first group; and under the
competitive plan of admission very few in other groups are
taken.

*The valuation of units in Algebra is made on the basis of time de-
voted to the subject. In all cases the subject matter covered must be the
same as described in our entrance requirements on pages 38 and 39.

fSee page 30 and page 53, paragraph (3).

fSee page 42.

Admission of Students 21

With the consent of the Committee on Admission one elec-
tive unit of a non-technical character not listed in the catalogue
may be accepted provided the unit is not in excess of the
number of elective units allov/ed.

The college reserves the right to admit a few students of
high rank with some slight variation in the prescribed units.

II. As Conditioned Freshmen, upon the presentation of six-
teen complete units chosen from the list of accepted subjects
on page 18, but lacking a maximum of two units of those
prescribed for unconditioned admission. These conditions in
prescribed subjects must be removed before the beginning of
the second year.

The following restrictions upon such conditions must be
observed :

1. The deficiency in any subject (except in the case of a
modem language or Greek) shall not amount to more than a
year of preparatory work.

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

(a) English to the extent of four units.

(b) Mathematics to the extent of two units.

(c) Latin to the extent of two units.

III. As Irregular Students, without class standing, upon the
presentation of sixteen complete units chosen from the list of
accepted subjects detailed on page 18, including four units in
English and two in Mathematics.

22 Agnes Scott College

These students are required to take a minimum of fourteen
hours of recitation a week, which may include Music and Art,
but at least nine hours must be in academic work.

Should they later desire to arrange their courses for the de-
gree, 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 presenting credits
from another institution may be admitted to any of the higher
classes on the following conditions:

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.

Note. If the above certificates are not entirely satisfactory
a detailed statement of individual professors will be required.

2. She must satisfy the entrance requirements of this Col-
lege. If necessary, credits presented for advanced standing
may be used to satisfy any deficit in entrance credits.

3. Credit will be given for work done at an institution which
has been recognized by the faculty of Agnes Scott College as
having equivalent requirements and standards for the B.A. de-

Admission of Students 23

gree. In all other cases the amount of credit to be granted and
the method by which it is to be obtained will be determined by
the college authorities.

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

5. The B.A. degree will not be conferred on any student
who has not completed at least thirty semester hours of work
in residence during the session immediately preceding gradua-
tion.

6. Applicants for advanced standing must have received a
merit grade on at least one-half of the hours presented for ad-
vanced credit.

Note. See pages 45-46, for additional details as to ad-
vanced standing credits.

V. As Special Students. In accordance with the regulation
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 entrance 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 preparatory work has been inter-
rupted in the past and never resumed. The following limi-
tations should be observed:

24 Agnes Scott College

1. Applicants must not be 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 requirements
in those subjects.

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 "spe-
cial" students.

Admission of Students 25

MANNER OF ADMISSION

Admission by Certific/ate. In lieu of entrance examinations,
the College will accept certificates from any high school, fitting
school, or seminary on the accredited list of the Association of
Colleges and Secondary Schools of the Southern States, or
from any school accredited by other college associations 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. Cer-
tificates should be on forms provided by the College. These
forms will be furnished on application. The certificate priv-
ilege is granted to schools only and not to private instructors.

Beginning with September, 1924, students applying for ad-
mission on the cerificate plan have been given a psychological
test as an additional aid toward judging their qualifications.
The tests may be given at any place where suitable arrange-
ments for holding them can be made.

Admission by Examination. Candidates who are unable to
present satisfactory certificates may be admitted by examina-
tion, provided they have taken the required units under capable
instruction.

Examinations for admission are usually given in the spring.
They may be taken at the College or by special arrangement
at local schools. Applications for the giving of examinations
away from the College should be filed with the Registrar by
May 1st of each year.

Spaces in dormitories will not be held by students whose
entrance depends on fall examinations.

26 Agnes Scott College

Any candidate applying for entrance examinations at dates
other than those appointed may be allowed to take them on
the approval of the Registrar, but a fee of $2.00 will be charged
for each examination.

For the year 1935, the dates for the spring examinations are
May 13-18. The fall examinations are held only at the College,
and the schedule is as follows:

Thursday, September 19

Botany 10 :00 A.M. to 11 :00 A.M.

DESCRIPTION OF ENTRANCE SUBJECTS

ENGLISH

English, four units. The College entrance requirements of
the New England, Middle and Southern Associations of Col-
leges and Secondary Schools constitute the entrance work in
English.

The requirement has two branches, Rhetoric and English
Literature. The study of English should be continuous through-
out the four years of the high-school course.

I. Rhetoric and Composition, two units. 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 college work
that the student be able to express herself, both orally and in
writing, with correctness and clearness.

To meet this requirement in composition:

1. There should he practice in writing, the equivalent of at
least one theme a week during the four years of her preparatory
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 knowl-
edge of English grammar.

2. There should be a systematic study of rhetoric. Particu-
lar attention should be given to the structure of the sentence,
paragraph, and whole composition.

28 Agnes Scott College

LATIN

All students entering the degree course must present the
minimum requirement in Latin and are advised to offer three
or four units.

A student offering not more than two units in Latin must 'i
satisfy the Group Requirement stated in paragraph 3, page 53.
One offering three units is exempt from this requirement.

The requirements in Latin (two, three, or four units) are in
accordance with a report presented to College Entrance Exam- !
ination Board in November, 1925, by a commission appointed^
to frame recommendations on the basis of the Classical Investi-
gation. The College Entrance Board has adopted these recom-
mendations and bases its examinations on them. The examina-
tions include English passages for translation into Latin and
passages of Latin for translation and "comprehension." In con-
nection with the passages of Latin, questions are asked on
forms, syntax, and the idioms of the language, as well as such ^
questions on the subject matter, historical and literary, as may j
fairly be asked. The College Entrance Examination Board and
the foremost Latin teachers are stressing the importance of abil-
ity to translate Latin at sight.

Minimum Requirement, two units (admitting to Latin 9-10).

Candidates ofiFering the minimum requirement in Latin

Description of Entrance Subjects 31

I. Reading. There are no prescribed readings in Latin, but
the following recommendations are made:

(1) In the second year the early reading should be easy
Latin which may be "made" or adapted Latin; not less than
one-half of the year should be devoted to the reading of selec-
tions from Caesar. The reading for the year may also include
easy selections from such authors as Aulus Gellius, Eutropius,
Nepos, Phaedrus, Quintus Curtius Rufus, and Valerius Maxi-
mus, or books of selections containing some of these together
with other authors of prose works.

(2) In the third year, either prose writers or poets may be
read, but it is recommended that prose rather than verse be the
subject of study. If the reading be in prose, not less than one-
half of the year should be devoted to the reading of selections
from Cicero; the reading for the year may also include selec-
tions from such authors as Pliny, Sallust, and Livy, or books
of selections containing these and other authors of prose works.
If poetry is chosen, not less than one semester should be de-
voted to the reading of Virgil.

(3) In the fourth year, if the reading be in poetry, not less
than one-half of the year should be devoted to the reading of
selections from Virgil ; and the reading for the year may also

[include selections from such works as the Metamorphoses,
Tristia, Heroides, and Fasti of Ovid, or books of selections con-
taining poems or extracts from Ovid or from other poets.

II. Prose Composition. ^Work in prose composition should
be carried on through at least three years of the preparatory
J course; if possible, though four; and should be such as to

ensure thorough knowledge of all regular inflections, all com-

mon irregular forms, and the ordinary syntax and vocabulary
of the prose authors read in school, with ability to use this
knowledge in writing simple Latin prose.

LATIN ENTRANCE UNITS

The statements in the paragraphs under Minimum Require-
ment and under Major Requirement are made on the supposi-
tion that the work included in the Minimum Requirement has
been done in two years. Many schools are spending one and
a half years in preparing students to do the work outlined in
paragraph (1) under I under Major Requirement (page 31
of the catalogue).

Two units of credit are given for the work outlined in para-
graph (1) under I and the ability to write sentences based on
the ordinary syntax and vocabulary of Caesar, whether two or
more years are spent on this work.

Three units of credit are given for the work outlined in par-
agraphs (1) and (2) under I and the ability to write sentences
based on the ordinary syntax and vocabulary of the prose
authors read.

Four units of credit are given for all the work outlined in 1 1
and II under Major Requirement.

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

examination only. This examination covers theory and instru-
mental proficiency. The preparation for it may not be done
in College for College admission. For details of the require-
ments, see page 109. The examination may be taken only at
the College. Students are not advised to try for this unit unless
they have had unusual musical training.

Description of Entrance Subjects 43

BIBLE

In order to encourage the study of the Bible in preparatory
schools, the College will accept, in the elective group, one unit
under the following conditions:

(1) The applicant must come from a school giving a
thorough course in either the Old Testament or the New Tes-
tament, or the Old and New Testaments combined, covering a
full academic year and occupying approximately one-fourth of
the student's time for the year.

(2) The outline of the course, methods of instruction, and
a report of the student's work must be submitted to the Col-
lege Department of Bible for approval before credit is granted.

CURRICULUM
Administration of the Curriculum

REGISTRATION

Students report first to the Treasurer's office, where all finan-
cial affairs are arranged; a card to this effect is furnished them
for presentation to the Registrar's office, where they are regis-
tered and given their matriculation cards. They then meet with
the appropriate committees for classification.

Students are required to report to the Registrar's office after
the Christmas holidays before attending classes.

Note. If, for any cause, a student fails to register in time
to attend her first scheduled lecture at the beginning of a
semester, she is charged a fee of S5.00 for late registration.
This rule, which is automatic as outlined above, is also applied
to students reluming late from vacations, unless their excuses
are approved by the Dean.

CLASSIFICATION

Students are expected to make themselves thoroughly famil-
iar 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. On or before April 15th, all students at that
time in residence are required to file with the Registrar tenta-
tive statements of their courses for the next ensuing year. These
programs are reviewed by the Committee on Electives and

Curriculum 45

approved or revised. The cards, with the courses entered upon
them in due form, are obtained from the Committee in the fall,
presented to the professors of the subjects, and, when they have
been properly signed, returned to the Registrar's oflSce.

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 definite-
ly 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. Profes-
sors are authorized to require students to make up work by
taking written tests covering the periods lost through absence,
whether the absence be excused or unexcused.

EXAMINATIONS

1. General examinations are held twice a year, in January
and in May. Failure to attend any of these examinations, for
any cause other than sickness, results in the dropping 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 by the professors whose departments
are concerned, provided that such examinations may not be

46 Agnes Scott College

given later than two weeks before the regular examinations of
either semester. These examinations for advanced standing
shall be more extended than ordinary examinations. In case
of a subject of three hours' value, the examination shall be of
at least five hours duration. In case of subjects of less values,
examinations shall be of corresponding proportion. In case of
failure on an examination for advanced standing, no re-exam-
ination is permitted. These examinations are given only at
the College.

3. Any student desiring advanced standing credit by exam-
ination must pass such examination before being admitted to
any advanced course in the given subject. The latest date at
which any advanced standing examination may be given is in
September of the year following the admission of the student.

4. Re-examinations are allowed in the case of conditional
failure. 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 semester
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 allowed in
the same subject.

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

5. If a student finds it necessary to apply for an examina-
tion at any other time than that announced in the regular
schedule, or arranged for by the professor involved, written

Curriculum 47

application explaining fully the reasons for the request must
first be made to the Dean. If permission is granted for a
change in the schedule of the examination the applicant must
present the Registrar's receipt for five dollars ($5.00) for such
examination desired before the professor is authorized to give
the same. Such examinations are known as "Special" exam-
inations.

This regulation applies to re-examination as well as to gen-
eral and advanced examinations.

SEMESTER AND YEAR CREDITS

A semester credit is the value in hours of any course pursued
through one semester. Thus, if a course scheduled for three
hours a week for one semester be taken, the resulting credit
towards the one hundred twenty-seven semester hours required
for the degree is three semester hours. A year credit is the
value in semester 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 six semester hours towards the
degree.

SUMMER WORK

Students wishing to make advanced standing credits during
the summer must communicate their plans to the College Com-
mittee on Advanced Standing and secure permission to do the
summer work before entering upon it.

No credit will be given for work of an undergraduate nature
unless a "merit" grade is received. A student may not receive
credit by examination for a summer course in which she has
received a grade lower than "merit."

48 Agnes Scott College

The credit for each course taken at a Summer Session is de-
termined by the Advanced Standing Committee, but the maxi-
mum credit which may be obtained in a six weeks' summer ses-
sion is six semester hours.

LIMITATION OF HOURS

In order to prevent over-crowding of work, the following
regulation of the student's hours has been put into operation:

1. The maximum number of lecture or recitation hours a
week for Freshmen shall be sixteen, and the minimum fourteen.
At the discretion of the Committee on Admission the privilege
of taking only twelve hours is offered some students.

2. The maximum number of lecture or recitation hours a
week for advanced students shall be seventeen, and the min-
imum fourteen. Second and third year students may not take
the maximum number of hours a week unless they shall have
received merit grades in at least two-fifths of their work for
the preceding session. Fourth year students may not take the
maximum number of hours a week unless they shall have re-
ceived merit grades in at least one-half of their work for the
preceding session.

MERIT HOURS

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 at-
tainment; "E," failure, with privilege of re-examination; "F,"
failure, without privilege of re-examination. The grades "A,"
"B," and "C," are known as "merit" grades. At least sixty of

Curriculum 49

the one hundred twenty academic semester hours offered for
the degree of Bachelor of Arts must be of the merit grade^ th^
remaining hours of the course being made with a grade of at
least "D."

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

Note. For a detailed explanation of the "Merit" require-
ments for admission to recognition in each of the three classes,
Sophomore, Junior, Senior, see notes preceding the official
Register of Students, page 169.

REQUIRED RESIDENCE

The degree will not be conferred upon any student who has
not done at least one full year's work in this College immedi-
ately preceding graduation.

AUTOMATIC EXCLUSION

Any student v/hose work is notably unsatisfactory at the end
of the first semester is considered to have excluded herself auto-
matically 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 fifteen semester hours in courses counting towards
a degree, she shall be considered to have excluded herself auto-
matically from the College for the next ensuing year.

A student who fails for two successive years to meet the
requirements for advancement to the next higher class, auto-

ill

Jt<

. 50 Agnes Scott College

matically excludes herself from the College, unless by vote of
tht faculty she be allowed to remain on probation.

Note. In addition to the enforcement of the above laws, the
College reserves the right to request the withdrawal of students
who cannot remain in residence without danger to their own
health or to the health of others, or whose presence is thought
to lower the moral tone of the College. Students of this last
class may be asked to withdraw, even though no specific
charges be made against them.

THE BACHELOR OF ARTS DEGREE

REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE

Candidates for the B.A. degree must present one hundred
twenty-seven semester hours of work of which seven semester
hours must be made in physical education. Certain courses are
required, as listed below, and others are elective. The program
of work for each student must be approved by 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 Committee will allow post-
ponement of prescribed work only in such cases as may for
special reasons demand this procedure.

I. Courses Required:

A. Specific requirements:

ENGLISH 101-102 6 semester hours

lish Bible.

Note. The following may not be elected to satisfy require-
ments for the major or minor:

(1) Elementary courses in languages:

An elementary course in foreign language may be accepted
as a basic course for a major or minor provided it is the third
foreign language offered for the degree.

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

B. The remaining hours required to complete the one
hundred twenty hours in academic work may be chosen at will,
subject to the following restrictions:

Curriculum 53

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

(2) Not more than sixteen hours may be taken in one sub-
ject in any one session, and not more than forty hours in one
subject may be presented for the degree.

(3) A student offering not more than two units in Latin is
required to choose one of the following:

lege German. If German has been pre-
sented for entrance and continued a year
in college, six semester hours of an-
other modern foreign language based on
two entrance units or a year course in
college.

2. Biology or Chemistry or Physics 8 semester hours

This course must be in one of these
sciences which is not elected to satisfy
the Group Requirement. These courses in
two different sciences satisfy both Group
I and Group VII.

54 Agnes Scott College

ART

Miss Lewis
The purpose for which this department is conducted is to
maintain a high standard of eflficiency in the pictorial and deco-
rative arts, and to give the student an intelligent appreciation
of the works of the masters.

Around this principle are grouped the various branches of
art education, giving in addition to technical training a knowl-
edge of the historical development of art, theory of design and
color, and practical work in the criticism and composition of
pictures.

The studio practice is divided into four parts:

1. Drawing from cast and still life.

2. Drawing and painting from still life.

Description of Courses 57

3. Drawing from life; painting from still life; outdoor
painting.

4. Portrait painting, landscape painting.

A sketch class with costume model is open to all art students.

One hour a week.

A course in commercial art is given for students wishing to
specialize in that branch.

All students will be advanced according to ability.

Opportunity in the way of excellent examples and instruc-
tion is offered those desiring to study the various lines of deco-
rative art.

Studio practice may be given credit of one hour a semester
for students who have completed or are taking Art History 101
and 102. Six hours will be the maximum credit allowed.

Note. If credit courses in spoken English and music are
elected, not more than eighteen hours of music, spoken Eng-
lish and practical art combined will be allowed to count to-
ward the degree.

GENERAL INFORMATION

SITUATION

The College is located in Decatur, a city of about 15,000
people, and one of the principal residential suburbs of Atlanta.
The metropolitan area has a population of more than 350,000. |
The whole community is noted for its educational interests and f
advantages. It would be hard to find a city with a richer i'
musical, artistic, social and religious life. In this metropolitan i
area are located thirty-four institutions of learning, besides i
public schools, bringing thousands of students from all over r
the world, in addition to the local patronage.

The Agnes Scott campus is on the divide between the Atlantic :

seaboard and the Gulf coast and has an elevation of 1,050 feet. I

The water is freestone, and the climate is free from extremes
of heat and cold.

BUILDINGS AND EQUIPMENT

The buildings of the College, thirty-six in number, including
several cottages occupied by members of the faculty, are sit-
uated upon a well-shaded and spacious campus of rare natural
beauty. With the exception of the White House and the
Infirmary, all the principal buildings are substantially con-
structed of brick, with trimmings of granite, limestone, or
marble. Readers of this Bulletin wdll be especially interested
in such of these buildings as form the working plant of the
institution, and so the following brief description is given. Ap- ,
plication may be made to the Registrar for any special infor- j
mation that may be desired concerning the halls of residence, j

General Information 133

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 possi-
ble. This building is the headquarters for social activities on
the campus. It contains an office of the Dean, parlors, recep-
tion rooms, the Y. W. C. A. cabinet room, and Day Student
i quarters. The building also contains music and art studios and
1 practice rooms. It is centrally located and accessible from all
parts of the campus. (See also Residence Halls below.)

I BuTTRiCK Hall, completed in September, 1930, is the latest
' addition to the College plant. It has been made possible by
! the generous support of the General Education Board of New
I York and is named in honor of Dr. Wallace Buttrick, former
president of that Board and a sincere friend of Agnes Scott
College. The building is four stories in height and is con-
, structed of steel, reinforced concrete, brick and limestone, with
I a roof of antique tile.

J The lobby, spacious enough to accommodate the whole
} college community at one time, is finished in natural oak wood,
craftex, with crab orchard stone floors. The corridors are
unusually wide and well lighted. Although the whole building
is as near fire-proof as possible, three stairways with fire-proof
stair wells and fire doors are provided. Automatic elevator
I service has also been installed.

I The building contains forty-eight offices for administrative
ofiScers and faculty, thirty-two classrooms, three rest rooms, the

I post office, the book store, the college bank, the psychological
laboratory, four vaults, and ample storage space.

134 Agnes Scott College

The Carnegie Library Building, the gift of Mr. Andrew
Carnegie, is a two-story structure containing a lofty and spa-
cious reading-room, librarian's office, special department study
rooms, and stack space for twenty thousand volumes. The
most approved card-index system of cataloguing and the service
of a trained librarian render all books easily available to stu-
dents. The reading-room is supplied with the leading literary,
scientific and educational magazines, and with journals 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 holidays, from
8 a. m. to 6 p. m. and from 7 to 9:30 p. m.

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 teach-
ing of these subjects including electricity, gas, and hot and
cold water, both in the lecture-rooms and the various laborato-
ries. 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 Mark-
ham Lowry, Anno Domini, 1910."

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

General Information 135

The department of chemistry is well supplied with chemi-
cals and chemical apparatus and the laboratories have every
modem convenience that could be desired. Besides a large
basement, there are five commodious laboratories, a lecture-
room, a research laboratory, a professor's ofiBce, 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.

The department of physics 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.

BucHER Scott Gymnasium-Auditorium. This excellent

i building affords accommodations for some of the most useful

I College activities. It is one hundred seventy-five feet long and

one hundred six feet wide. The main gymnasium room is

, ninety feet by seventy, and there are two auxiliary gymnasium

I rooms. The stage is eighty by forty feet and equipped with

I the modern four-color lights. The auditorium has a capacity

of nearly two thousand people. The swimming pool room is

eighty-two by forty-two feet, and the pool itself is sixty by

twenty-five feet, the room and pool being tile lined. There are

five offices for physicians and physical directors, four rest

rooms, special quarters for day students, and five rooms for

general student activities.

Residence Halls

There are four residence halls, in addition to five cottages,
giving dormitory space for three hundred and fifty. All these

136 Agnes Scott College

buildings are comfortably equipped, lighted and heated, and
all contain both double and single rooms.

The Agnes Scott Hall contains, besides the social quar-
ters, studios, etc., mentioned above, dormitory space for about
seventy-five students.

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 debating societies, a large dining-room, a commodious i
lobby, and various reception rooms. A colonnade connects this i
building with the Agnes Scott Hall and thus renders avail-
able 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 Chair-
man of the Board of Trustees), as a memorial to his deceased
wife, has three floors devoted entirely to bedrooms. 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 contains a large dining-room, kitchen,
pantries, etc.

Five Cottages situated on the campus offer accommodations- 3
for about fifty students. These cottages are comfortably fur-
nished and supplied with all modern conveniences.

Auxiliary Buildings

The Anna Young Alumnae House was erected through
the joint efforts of the Trustees and the Alumnae in memory
of Miss Young, who was for twenty-one years a beloved teacher

General Information 137

in the College. It is a beautiful brick cottage, well equipped
with a tea room for the use of the College community and with
facilities for taking care of guests. It is especially a home for
returning Alumnae and is under the general management of
the Alumnae Association.

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 purpose.

Steam Plant. Steam heat is supplied to all the College
buildings from a modern and well equipped plant situated on
the south border of the campus. This plant was completed
during the summer of 1929 and has all the latest devices for
efficient service.

Laundry. This is a very attractive building, adjoining the
steam plant, and it also has just been erected. It is well
equipped and is operated for the benefit of the College com-
munity.

SPECIAL ENDOWMENT FUNDS
The George W. Scott Foundation
In November, 1909, citizens of Decatur, in order to express
their affectionate admiration of one of the town's most useful
and public-spirited men, and at the same time to assist in per-
petuating 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 Foundation," for the en-
dowment of some department of the College, the exact dispo-
sition of the fund being left to the direction of the Board of
Trustees. The income from this fund is for the present applied

cation.

The Lowry Foundation

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

146 Agnes Scott College

The Alumnae Scholarship Aid. The Alumnae have
caught the spirit of helpfulness which characterizes their Alma
Mater and have co-operated heartily to help others secure the
education which they have enjoyed. They have given more
than $1,000 to establish the Sheppard Scholarship mentioned
above; and, in addition, they have recently begun a fund to be
known as "The Alumnae Loan Fund," the interest from which
is to be used for those who find it necessary to borrow money
for the completion of their college work.

The Young Women's Christian Association Scholar-
ship. ^The Young Women's Christian Association of the Col-
lege offers a loan amounting to SlOO.OO annually, to be applied

cioT* subjecp, and his receipt presented to the professor.

General Information 149

Note. ^The maintenance and medical fees are the same for
one semester as for the entire session, and are non-refundable
for any cause.

The charges are made for the college year as a unit, and are
not intended to be divided between the semesters. The pay-
ment permitted on January 1st is to cover the balance due for
the session, and it is not the second semester charge and there-
fore due later. If the College is notified by January 1st that a
student wishes to complete the work of the first semester and to
withdraw before the beginning of the second term, the Presi-
dent has discretion to allow this without the January payment.
In the case of all students wishing to have places reserved for
the remainder of the session, it is necessary that payment be
made or satisfactory terms arranged with the Treasurer as
above provided. Students who do not meet this payment
promptly, or arrange for it, are regarded as withdrawing for
the second term and a later settlement will be on the basis of a
new entry and at a higher rate than for a continuous student.

will be $10.00 more for the session than half of the regular
fee would be.

All correspondence relating to financial affairs should be
directed to the Treasurer.

All remittances should be made payable to Agnes Scott
College. Due to the clearing house rules, our banks charge
exchange on local checks. In view of this fact we request that
patrons kindly make remittances in either New York or Atlanta
exchange, or Postal Money Order. However, if a local check
is preferable please add ^4 of 1 per cent, for exchange.

The acceptance by the College of either personal or bank
check is done with the full understanding that final credit is ,
not given until actual payment has been received by us. Checks |
will be handled promptly in the regular banking manner and
on the basis that prevails under the Atlanta Clearing House
rules.

Notes

No student who does not live in Atlanta or Decatur will be
permitted to make living arrangements outside of the college
with any one except a close relative unless she has previously
secured the written consent of the Dean.

General Information 151

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

When a patron finds it necessary to request deferred pay-
ment of bills when due, special arrangements must be made
in advance of arrival of the student with the Treasurer, since
no student will be allowed to enter college where the financial
arrangements have not been perfected. In all such cases, the
Board of Trustees has directed that notes be taken bearing six
per cent interest from date payment was due.

This clause is not meant to indicate that the College makes a
practice of granting deferred payments, and the same are not
granted except for good reasons, which are satisfactory to the
Finance Committee, arranged through the Treasurer, at least
ten days prior to the date payment is due. Deferred payments
will not be granted unless arranged in this manner, and further,
where such terms are arranged it is obligatory that such notes
will be met promptly on due date.

Where a note is accepted it is done with the full under-
standing that the account is not considered as settled unless
notes are paid on due date.

No student will be allowed to attend classes at the beginning
of any semester where her account is unpaid.

The Laboratory fee must be paid before entering classes in
chemistry, biology, physics, play production or psychology for
the entire session, and will not be refunded for any cause. In
addition a deposit of Five ($5.00) Dollars is required of
chemistry students. This will be refunded in May, except so
much as is necessary to pay for breakage of returnable ap-

152 Agnes Scott College

paratus. This refund, if not claimed by the student, at the
Treasurer's ofiEce, prior to Commencement Day is automatically
forfeited.

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 $10.00 medical fee as-
sists in covering the above expenses.

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 cor-
responding 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,
but not amount paid for tuition.

Refunds are computed on the session charges during the first
semester and on the January payment for the second semester.

No DEDUCTION FOR ANY CAUSE WILL BE ALLOWED STUDENTS

AFTER March 15th.

No claim for a refund for any cause will be considered
unless it is filed with the Treasurer on or before the 1st day of
May in the year such refund is asked.

Students who register for any "Special" must continue it for
the semester. The only exceptions to this rule will be the
discontinuance upon the recommendation of the College
Physician or the faculty committee, and then the only grounds
for nonpayment of the account or a refund, if paid, will be the

General Information 153

health of the student or such a heavy schedule of required work
that the "Special" cannot be continued without injury to the
student.

When permission has been secured from either of the above
sources it is obligatory upon the student to notify the Treasurer
within three days after permission has been granted. The fail-
ure to do this forfeits any claim for a refund. In the event a
"Special" has been continued for as long a period as six weeks
there will be no refund for any cause.

Correspondence concerning the general management of the
College, or concerning the welfare or interest of students
should be addressed to the President.

Correspondence concerning the life in the dormitories, or
health, or discipline of students should be addressed to the
Dean.

It is recommended that each student be provided with $20.00
upon entrance to college in order that she may be able to pur-
chase the necessary books and stationery. These are sold by
the College at city prices for cash only.

It is hoped that parents will make only moderate allowance
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 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 B.A. diploma and $2.00 for
music or art certificate.

154 Agnes Scott College

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

The College reserves the right to request the withdrawal of
a student at any time where the financial affairs have not been
satisfactorily arranged. In the event of such withdrawal there
will be no refund for any money previously paid.

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 College
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.

Discounts

When two or more sisters enter as boarding students a dis-
count of S20.75 is allowed from the September payment, and
$12.50 from the January payment, for each sister.

This discount is granted only upon full cash payment on
due dates.

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

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

A discount of $100.00 on tuition will be made to ministers
regularly engaged in their calling who send their daughters as
boarding students. This is credited $50.00 on each semester.
All other charges will be at regular rates.

To ministers regularly engaged in their calling, who send
their daughters as day students, a discount of $28.50 will be

General Information 155

allowed on tuition. This is credited $16.00 in September and
$12.50 in January. All other charges at regular rates.

No DISCOUNT WILL BE ALLOWED BOARDING STUDENTS FOR
ABSENCE FOR ANY CAUSE EXCEPT SICKNESS OF THE STUDENT,
AND THAT ONLY WHEN THE ABSENCE IS FOR AS LONG AS SIX
WEEKS.

This refers to a student who leaves on recommendation of
the Resident Physician.

No DISCOUNT TO DAY STUDENTS.

No reduction will be made for holidays.

No refund will be made where a student fails to return after
the Christmas holidays.

The boarding department will be closed during the Christ-
mas holidays. For the accommodation of those who remain,
one dormitory will be kept open, but no provision is made by
the College for meals.

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 (35x22), towels, napkins, napkin-ring, teaspoon,
any article, as rugs, curtains, etc., of use or ornament de-
sired for her room. The bedclothes should be the size used
for single or three-quarter beds.

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

156 Agnes Scott College

Arrivals at Night

Students arriving in Atlanta in time for the official opening
of College in September are met, on request, by a representa-
tive of the College, without charge.

At other times a chaperon's fee will be charged for meeting
trains. If two or more students are met the charge is to be
divided equally among them.

Students, when met under the above rule, are expected to
pay to the Dean the fee on the day following their arrival, since
no account will be opened on the Treasurer's books for this
fee.

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 students,
guests cannot be entertained without serious inconvenience
except from Saturday to Monday. At such times, after consul-
tation with the Dean, vacancies caused by the temporary ab-
sence of students may be utilized for guests at a charge of one
dollar and fifty cents a day. Whether guests are being enter-
tained 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 proposed
visit.

All guests are expected to conform to the dormitory regu-
lations.

General Information 157

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 train-
ing 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 cooperative plan has been devised by the students.

For the support of student activities such as the Student
Government Association, the Debating Council, the Athletic
Association, May Day Committee, and the various student
publications, each student pays fifteen dollars ($15.00) which
is payable in two installments ten dollars at the beginning of
the first semester and five dollars at the beginning of the second
semester. This system relieves the student of the annoyance
of frequent assessments.

It is expected that the first payment will be made at the time
of entrance. The College does not handle the student budget
so please make check payable to the Student Treasurer, Agnes
Scott College.

Note. The organizations here named are those involving
the entire student body. The various other organizations, liter-
ary, 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 organiza-
tion, based upon a charter granted by the faculty, has for its

158 Agnes Scott College

purpose the ordering and control of the dormitory life and of
most other matters not strictly academic. Its membership
includes all the students. The most gratifying results have
continually followed the increase of opportunity and of respon-
sibility thus given to the students, especially in the development
of self-restraint, consideration for the majority, and the true
cooperative spirit.

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

To develop the spiritual life of the students.

To cooperate with other student associations in the general iij
work of the Young Women's Christian Association.

To do all possible to advance the Kingdom of God.

The various departments of the 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 i
the organization wields a large influence for good.

Athletic Association. The Athletic Association cooper-;
ates with the Department of Physical Education in the*
management of sports. There are three seasons. During theif
Fall season hockey, swimming, archery, tennis, golf, are of-
fered; during the Winter season basketball, water polo; during
the Spring swimming, archery, tennis, riding and golf. Inter-
class games are played in hockey, basketball and water polo
and tournaments are arranged in tennis, archery and golf.
Swimming meets are held during the swimming season and

General Information 159

usually a water pageant is given. A tennis club affords much
enjoyment to the more skilled players. Membership in the
outing club is open to those skilled in hiking, camp craft,
and outdoor cooking. The Athletic Association also manages
a camp at Stone Mountain, where groups may go for week-
ends.

An athletic field affords excellent opportunity for hockey,
while six tennis courts are in almost constant use the whole
year.

Public Lecture Association. An organization of students
and faculty has been formed for the purpose of inviting noted
speakers, from time to time, to address the College community.
These lectures are likewise open to the public upon the pay-
ment of a small fee.

Publications

The students issue the following publications:

The Aurora. A quarterly magazine devoted to the develop-
ment of literary effort among the students.

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 stu-
dent body. It has as its object the promotion of loyalty to
the College and the dissemination of local news.

!The Student Handbook. A manual of information issued
annually by the Student Associations.

160 Agnes Scott College

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
expected.

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

APPOINTMENT COMMITTEE

The faculty has appointed a Committee with a view to
assisting Agnes Scott students in securing positions. All grad-
uates and other students of the College who desire to teach
or do other work are invited to apply for registration blanks,
fill them out and file them with this committee. Address the
Registrar.

ALUMNAE ASSOCIATION

The Alumnae Association of Agnes Scott College was
organized during the Commencement of 1895. The purpose, as
originally outlined, that of promoting the welfare of the College
and its alumnae by increasing the interest of its members in the
College and in each other, has been consistently maintained.

The work of the association is conducted largely through the
Executive Board, composed of six officers and nine chairmen
of standing committees Publicity, Preparatory Schools, Cur-

General Information 161

riculum, House and Tea Room, Local Clubs, Grounds, Enter-
tainment, Student Loan, Constitution and By-Laws. Fifteen
state presidents and four councillors-at-large serve in an ad-
visory capacity. A representation from the administration,
student body, alumnae trustees, classes graduated, and local
clubs is secured through semi-annual meetings of the Alumnae
Council. The annual meeting for the general association is held
during Commencement.
