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 reaches 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
insuflScient 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 oflfered 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.

I. As Unconditioned Freshmen, upon the presentation of
sixteen complete units, including the prescribed units detailed
on next page.

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 allowed.

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
modern 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 ofl&cial 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 forty-five quarter 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 43-44, 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 ren-
der them void; (2) Those whose preparatory work has been
interrupted in the past and never resumed. The following
limitations 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 Certificate. 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 certificate 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 1938, the dates for the spring examinations are
May 9-14. The fall examinations are held only at the College,
and the schedule is as follows:

Thursday, September 22

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

DESCRIPTION OF ENTRANCE SUBJECTS

ENGLISH

The requirement in English is designed to develop the
ability (a) to understand and enjoy good literature of various
types and periods, and (b) to think clearly and express oneself
effectively in writing.

Literature. ^The student will be expected to have a com-
prehension and appreciation of the content and form of some
of the masterpieces in drama, poetry and the principal types
of prose (narrative, essay and biography). She will be ex-
pected to discuss these works with sufficient maturity of grasp,
with a proper use of the simpler critical distinctions involved,
and with a general knowledge of the relevant background, per-
sonal, historical and literary. A list of books recommended for
reading and study may be obtained by writing to the address
mentioned in the "Definition of Requirements."

Composition. Writing is "a thinking out into language."
The student must show a reasonable maturity of thought and
the ability to organize and present her ideas clearly in terms
of sentence, paragraph and whole composition. Consistent cor-
rectness in the fundamentals of writing (including grammar)
is assumed. Competence in composition can be achieved only
by long, regular and frequent practice in theme writing and
revision under expert criticism. It is more often in composi-
tion than literature that the prospective college student is de-
ficient.

28 Agnes Scott College

LATIN

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

A student oflFering not more than two units in Latin must
satisfy the Group Requirement stated in paragraph 3, page 50.
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
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).

Candidates offering the minimum requirement in Latin
should follow in the first and second years the same course of
study as those offering three or four units.

Major Requirement: (1) three units (admitting to Latin 11
if prose has been read in the third year, admitting to Latin 15
if poetry has been read in the third year) or (2) four units
(admitting to Latin 105) .

Description of Entrance Subjects 29

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.

The derivation of English words from Latin should be
stressed and the student should gain considerable knowledge
of Roman life and history. In this and the following years,
knowledge of forms, syntax and the structure of the sentence
should be made the key to accurate translation. The trans-
lation should be in clear and natural English.

(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,

30 Agnes Scott College

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
course; if possible, through 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 29
of the catalogue).

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

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

tion Board, New York City, and asking for the pamphlet:
Definition of Requirements.

CURRICULUM

Administration of the Curriculum

REGISTRATION

Students report first to" the Treasurer's office, where all finan-
cial afifairs 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
quarter, she is charged a fee of $5.00 for late registration.
This rule, which is automatic as outlined above, is also applied
to students returning 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 43

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 office.

After a course has been agreed upon by the student, with the
advice of the Committee on Admission or the Committee on
Electives, no change will be 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 in accordance with regulations announced at the be-
ginning of the session. Absence from courses without due ex-
cuse results inevitably in the lowering of the student's stand-
ing. Professors 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 at the end of each quar-
ter. 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

44 Agnes Scott College

given later than two weeks before the regular examinations of
either quarter. Examinations for advanced standing shall be
more extended than ordinary examinations and no re-examina-
tions are permitted in case of failure. These examinations are
given only at the college.

3. Any student desiring advanced standing credit by ex-
amination must pass such examination before being admitted
to any advanced course in the 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 are given in the first week of the
fall quarter and in the second week of the winter and spring
quarters. Those failing in a re-examination are 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
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-
inatidtis.

Curriculum 45

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

QUARTER AND YEAR CREDITS

A quarter credit is the value in hours of any course pursued
through one quarter. Thus, if a course scheduled for three
hours a week for one quarter be taken, the resulting credit
towards the one hundred eighty-nine quarter hours required
for the degree is three quarter hours. A year credit is the value
in quarter 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 nine quarter hours towards the de-
gree.

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."

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 nine quarter 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:

46 Agnes Scott College

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 ninety of
the one hundred eighty academic quarter hours offered for
the degree of Bachelor of Arts must be of the merit grade, the
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."

Curriculum 47

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.

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

A student whose work is notably unsatisfactory at the end of
any quarter is considered to have excluded herself automati-
cally 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 twenty-two quarter hours in courses counting towards
the degree she shall be considered to have excluded herself
automatically 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-
matically excludes herself from the College, unless by vote of
the 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
eighty-nine quarter hours of work of which nine quarter hours
must be made in physical education. Certain courses are re-
quired, 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 Committees will allow post-
ponement of prescribed work only in such cases as may for
special reasons demand this procedure.

ART

Miss Lewis
The purpose of this department is to maintain a high stand-
ard of efficiency in the pictorial and decorative 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-

54 Agnes Scott College

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.

3. Drawing and painting 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 quarter

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
advantages. It would be hard to find a city with a richer
musical, artistic, social and religious life. In this metropolitan
area are located thirty-four institutions of learning, besides
public schools, bringing thousands of students from all over
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.
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 will 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-
mation that may be desired concerning the halls of residence.

General Information 127

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
quarters. The building also contains music and art studios and
practice rooms. It is centrally located and accessible from all
parts of the campus. (See also Residence Halls below.)

BuTTRiCK Hall, completed in September, 1930, is a late
addition to the College plant. It has been made possible by
the generous support of the General Education Board of New
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
a roof of antique tile.

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
service has also been installed.

The building contains forty-eight offices for administrative
officers and faculty, thirty-two classrooms, three rest rooms, the
post office, the book store, the college bank, the psychological
laboratory, four vaults, and ample storage space.

128 Agnes Scott College

The Carnegie Library Building is the most recent addition
to the College plant. It is named in honor of Andrew Carnegie
who provided personally the funds for the first Agnes Scott
library building. Constructed of brick and Indiana limestone
with graded tile roof, it belongs in style of architecture to the
modern Gothic and conforms in type to the adjacent buildings.

The Library is constructed in the shape of an ell, one wing
of which is two stories in height and consists of a large read-
ing room on each floor. The other wing rises to four stories,
with a large lecture room and storage space on the ground
floor, with lobby and administrative quarters on the first floor,
with seminar rooms, a staff lounge, projection and typing
rooms on the second floor, and with a museum on the top floor.
The tower bookstacks are located in the internal angle of the
building.

The first floor reading room is large and lofty, finished with
light woodwork and furnished with easy chairs and davenports
in bright blue and red upliolstery. The informality of the
room is emphasized in the use of floor lamps, individual study
desks, alcoves and a great stone fireplace. The reading room
on the ground floor is also large and spacious, equipped with
open reserve shelves and with a special type of Windsor chair
designed for the comfort of a student working at a table.

A special feature which takes into account the mild, open
winters of the Atlanta area is the outdoor reading terrace. This
terrace, located so as to benefit from the sunny southern ex-
posure, is provided with weather proof chairs and tables and
gaily colored umbrellas and affords a delightful place for
reading or study.

General Information 129

The technical details are quite modern, the fire-proofing,
damp-proofing, air-conditioning, and sound insulation having
had successful attention.

The Lowrt 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
and research commands the aid of suitable apparatus, such as
microscopes, microtomes, ovens, baths, charts and illustrative
collections.

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

In addition to these laboratories a geological museum is
being equipped, and already a considerable number of fossils
and mineralogical specimens are on hand.

130 Agnes Scott College

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
building affords accommodations for some of the most useful
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
rooms. The stage is eighty by forty feet and equipped with
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.

The Murphey Candler Student Building, named in honor
of Hon. C. M. Candler, who was a trustee of the College 46
years, from its beginning until his death in 1935, was formerly
used as a library building. In 1936 it was remodeled and is
now one of the most popular halls on the campus. It provides
headquarters for many of the student activities. Its lofty and
spacious reception room, with two fireplaces, and with com-
fortable furnishings, is in constant use for parties or informal
dancing or other forms of recreation. It has ten other rooms
for meetings or groups or publications or committees. Both
this building and the main reading room of the Library are
open on Sundays.

General Information 131

Residence Halls

There are four residence halls, in addition to five cottages,
giving dormitory space for three hundred and fifty. All these
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
lobby, and various reception rooms. A colonnade connects this
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
for about fifty students. These cottages are comfortably fur-
nished ind supplied with all modern conveniences.

132 Agnes Scott College

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
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
efi&cient 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.

Note. While the Student Activities Fee mentioned on Page
149 is not absolutely required, the College feels that it is im-
portant and strongly recommends its payment.

Terms

No student will be received for less than a full quarter.

No refunds of any nature are made on account of the with-
drawal of a student.

146 Agnes Scott College

No student will be granted a diploma or a certificate or a
transcript of her record sent to another school unless all of her
financial obligations to the College have been paid.

No student will be allowed to attend classes where her finan-
cial affairs have not been fully satisfied.

Where a patron finds it necessary to request deferred pay-
ment of his account, when due, special arrangements must be
made in advancfs of the due date with the Treasurer. In all
such cases notes must be signed, in advance. They bear interest
at six percentum from date payment was due. Where a note
is accepted it is done with the full understanding that the
account is not considered as settled unless the notes are met
promptly on due date.

It is distinctly understood that upon the entrance of a student
her parent, or guardian, accepts the terms and regulations as
outlined in the catalogue as final and binding upon them.

Notes

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.

It is hoped that parents will make only moderate allowance
to their daughters for spending money. When money is de-
posited with the Treasurer for students, it is paid out on their
checks, and no other account is kept except the cancelled
checks.

In cases of protracted sickness or contagious diseases, par-
ents must provide a nurse at their expense. Also they must
pay for medicines and for consultations.

General Information 147

The College exercises every precaution to protect property
of students, but will not be responsible for any losses that
may occur.

Discounts

When two or more sisters enter as boarding students a dis-
count of $20.75 is allowed from the September payment, and
$12.50 from the January payment, for each student.

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

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 one-half in September and
the remainder in January.

To ministers regularly engaged in their calling, who send
their daughters as day students, a discount of $28.50 will be
allowed on tuition. This is credited $16.00 in September and
$12.50 in January.

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.

Communications concerning courses of study, inquiries con-
cerning health and conduct of students, and general adminis-
trative details, should be addressed to the President; concern-
ing absences and social and domestic matters to the Dean; and
concerning all business transactions, to the Treasurer.

Furniture
The College supplies each room with bedstead, bureau, ward-

148 Agnes Scott College

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.

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-

General Information 149

tained for the week-end or for a single meal, permission must
be obtained from the Dean and meal tickets procured at the
business ofl&ce.

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.

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 quarter and five dollars at the beginning of the second
quarter. 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

150 Agnes Scott College

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 otlier 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
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.

Agnes Scott Christian Association. The objects of this
Association are:

To develop the spiritual life of the students.

To cooperate with other student associations in general
Christian work.

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

I

General Information 151

among the students are also the leaders in this work, and thus
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 the
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
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.

152 Agnes Scott College

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.

RELIGIOUS LIFE

Every eflfort 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 Christian Association, are largely at-
tended, 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.

General Information 153

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-
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.

The Alumnae Association owns and operates the Anna Young
Alumnae House on the campus. In this are housed the Tea
Room, under the supervision of the association, guest rooms
for visitors, and the office of the Executive Secretary employed
by the association.

The officers for the sessions 1936-1937 and 1937-1938 are:
President Miss Daisy Frances Smith, '24,
485 Whitefoord Avenue, Atlanta, Ga.

First Vice-President Miss Janice Stewart Brown, '24,
