AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE

The purpose which has prevailed at Agnes Scott since its
foundation has been to offer the best possible educational ad-
vantages 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 pos-
sible 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 the B.A. degree. Optional courses leading
to this degree give each student the opportunity to elect a
course most in accord with her special talent and plans.

ADMISSION OF STUDENTS

The College seeks candidates of ability. Realizing that abil-
ity may be developed by a program diflferent from the one
outlined below, the Board of Admission is glad to consider
candidates who do not entirely meet these requirements but
who, after investigation, are found to be capable of doing
college work of high quality. Such candidates are invited to
write to the Board of Admission for detailed instructions.

As evidence of excellence of preparation, general ability,
character and personality, the College is guided in its choice
of students by: (1) certificate or examination, (2) scholastic
aptitude tests, (3) recommendation from secondary school,
(4) satisfactory health record.

STANDING TO WHICH STUDENTS ARE ADMITTED

I. Freshmen. Candidates are admitted as freshmen upon the
presentation of sixteen acceptable units. The following are
regularly prescribed: English 4, Algebra 2, Plane Geometry
1, either Latin 3, or Latin 2 plus modem language 2.

Elective units may be presented in Latin, Greek, French,
German, Spanish; history, including civics and social science;
mathematics; biology, botany, zoology, chemistry, physics,
general science, geography; music; Bible. One vocational unit
may be offered, or two in exceptional cases. Not fewer than
two units will be accepted in a language, and not more than
four units may be offered in any one department.

Although only two units in Latin are prescribed, three or
four units in this subject will give better preparation for col-
lege work.

IL Special Students. A limited number of mature students

18 Agnes Scott College

who do not present acceptable entrance units and who are not
candidates for the degree may be admitted to classes for which
they are prepared.

III. Advanced Standing. A few students are admitted each
year from other institutions to courses above the freshman
grade. Each applicant must present a transcript of her college
work, a copy of the college catalogue, and a letter of honorable
dismissal. A careful study of this material is made and the
amount of credit and the method by which it may be secured
determined. Applicants for advanced standing must have re-
ceived a merit grade on at least one-half of the hours presented
for advanced credit.

Except in very unusual cases, candidates for the degree must
complete the work of the junior and senior years in this college.

APPLICATION FOR ADMISSION

I. Formal Application. Admission forms will be furnished
upon request. Boarding student application must be accom-
panied by a registration fee of $25, preferably in New York
exchange or Postal Money Order. If by local check the usual
clearing house collection charges should be added. Room reser-
vation will not be made until this fee is paid.

The above fee is credited on the September payment. If for
any reason the student finds it impossible 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 the session. After that date it will not
be returned unless the preparation of the applicant is insuflfi-
cient or unless the College finds it impossible to admit her.

Admission of Students 19

II. Preliminary Certificates. Applicants are urged to send
in their certificates as early as the junior year in preparatory
school if possible. This will enable the College to evaluate
credits and offer helpful advice on subsequent preparation.

METHODS OF ADMISSION

I. By Certificate. The College will accept certificates from
preparatory schools on the accredited list of the Southern Asso-
ciation of Colleges and Secondary Schools, 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. The certificate privilege
is granted to schools only and not to private instructors.

II. By Examination. Candidates who are unable to present
satisfactory certificates may be admitted by examination, pro-
vided they have taken the required units under capable in-
struction.

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 examinations away from the
College should be filed with the Registrar by May 1st of each
year. The fall examinations are held only at the College.
Spaces in the dormitories will not be held for students whose
entrance depends on fall examinations.

DESCRIPTION OF ENTRANCE SUBJECTS

ENGLISH

The requirement in Elnglish 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.

1. 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,
personal, historical and literary.

2. Composition. Writing is "a thinking out into lan-
guage." The student must show a reasonable maturity of
thought and the ability to organize and present her ideas clear-
ly in terms of sentence, paragraph and whole composition.
Consistent correctness in the fundamentals of writing (includ-
ing grammar) is assumed. Competence in composition can be
achieved only by long, regular and frequent practice in theme
writing and revision imder expert criticism. It is more often
in composition than literature that the prospective college
student is deficient.

Description of Entrance Subjects 21

FOREIGN LANGUAGES

Ancient Languages
(Latin, Greek)
Students offering either Latin or Greek should have a thor-
ough knowledge of all regular inflections and of the common
irregular forms; familiarity with the ordinary syntax, vocabu-
lary and idiom of the authors read and ability to use this
knowledge in writing the language and in translation at sight.
The subject matter of the authors read, literary and historical
allusions and background material in general should receive
careful attention. The texts to be read are not definitely
specified.

1. Latin (two, three, or four units) . It is advised that at
least one semester be devoted (1) in the second year to selec-
tions from Caesar, (2) in the third year, if prose is read, to at
least three orations of Cicero, (3) in the fourth year, if poetry
is read, to at least three books of Virgil's Aeneid. The amount
of prepared reading in poetry should be the equivalent of six
books of the Aeneid. This study should be accompanied by
training in prosody; the student should be familiar with hex-
ameter and have practice in reading verse rhythmically. The
Aeneid should be studied as literature.

2. Greek (two or three units). Any systematic course
which develops the ability to translate at sight passages of
simple Attic prose and of Homer, and to write simple Greek.
To meet the two-unit requirement the student should read the
first four books of Xenophon's Anabasis or its equivalent; to
meet the three-unit requirement, the first three books of Homer's
Iliad (omitting II, 494 to end) or the equivalent. Mastery of

22 Agnes Scott College

Homeric constructions, forms and prosody and practice in
reading Homeric verse rhythmically are essential. A study of
the Iliad as literature and of Homeric life should accompany
the language study.

Modern Languages
(French, German, Spanish)
Since the foreign idiom is largely the language of the college
classroom it is essential that training in accurate writing and
translation be accompanied by oral and aural practice and that
the texts studied contribute to a knowledge of the geography,
history, institutions, and customs of the country.

1. First and Second Years (two units) . At the end of the
second year the student should be able to pronounce intelligi-
bly, to read at sight easy prose, to use the language orally with-
in the limits of her classroom experience, and to write the
language within the limits of her active vocabulary.

2. Third Year (one unit). Further development of speed
and range of ability to read, understand, speak and write the
language with better control of vocabulary and idiomatic usage.

3. Fourth Year (one unit). At the end of the fourth year
the student should be able to read and comprehend the foreign
text without translation into English, to write a theme in the
foreign language on subjects suggested by the texts studied, to
carry on a simple conversation in the foreign language. In-
creased emphasis should be put on the cultural background by
collateral reading and reports.

Suggested ways of realizing these objectives:

1. Intensive study of brief passages in order to understand

Description of Entrance Subjects 2S

each word, to organize grammatical knowledge, to build an
active vocabulary.

2. Silent reading for comprehension without translation.

3. Reading the foreign text aloud.

4. Writing from dictation.

5. Reproduction orally and in writing of portions of the
text read.

6. Memorizing songs and simple poems.

7. Listening to phonographic records recorded by a native.

MATHEMATICS

1. Algebra, two units. The requirement includes the four
fundamental operations for rational algebraic expressions;
factoring; fractions; ratio and proportion; linear equations,
containing one or more unknowns, with either numerical or
literal coefficients; exponents, including fractional and nega-
tive; quadratic equations, including the theory; systems in-
volving quadratic and higher equations; binomial theorem for
positive integral exponents; arithmetical and geometrical pro-
gressions; and variations. The use of graphical methods and
illustrations, particularly in connection with the solution of
equations, is required.

- 2. Plane Geometry, one unit. The usual theorems and con-
structions of good textbooks including the general properties
of plane rectilinear figures, the circles and the measurement of

24 Agnes Scott College

angles, similar polygons, areas, loci problems, and applica-
tions to the mensuration of lines and plane surfaces.

In addition, the student may present one-half unit in solid
geometry and one-half unit in trigonometry.

It is recommended that a review of both algebra and plane
geometry be taken during the year before entrance to college.

fflSTORY

The following subjects may be counted for entrance in
history:

1. Greek history to the death of Alexander, and Roman
history to 800 A. D., or ancient and, medieval history.

2. Medieval and modern European history, or modem
European history.

3. World history.

4. English history.

5. American history.

6. Civics, one unit, or one-half unit if preceded by a history
course.

7. Social science, as much as one unit.

The total entrance credit in history, civics, and social science
may not exceed four units.

Description of Entrance Subjects 25

SCIENCE

The student may offer one, two, three, or four units in the
following. Each represents a year's study and should include
a large amount of laboratory work. This should be directed
by a competent instructor and records made in a notebook,
while in the field or laboratory. Experiments must be checked
or certified to by the instructor. In doubtful cases the notebook
will be called for.

1. Physics, one unit.

2. Chemistry, one unit.

3. Botany, one unit.

4. Zoology, one unit.

5. Biology, one unit. Not accepted in addition to botany
or zoology.

6. Geography, one unit.

7. General science, one unit.

8. Home economics, one unit.

MUSIC

One unit in the elective group may be offered in Music by
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 requirements,
see department of Music. 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.

26 Agnes Scott College

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 thor-
ough course in either the Old Testament or the New Testament,
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 College
Department of Bible for approval before credit is granted.

Note: A more detailed description of entrance subjects may
be secured by writing to the College Entrance Examination
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 ofi&ce, where all finan-
cial affairs are arranged ; a card to this effect is furnished them
for presentation to the Registrar's oJBfice, 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 ofl&ce 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 stu-
dents 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 Registreir tentative
statements of their courses for the next ensuing year. These
programs are reviewed by the Committee on Electives and

28 Agnes Scott College

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 definitely
classified within two weeks after their arrival at the College.

CLASS ATTENDANCE

Students are required to attend classes regularly and
promptly in accordance with regulations of the cut system
announced at the beginning of the session. Absence without
due excuse results inevitably in the lowering of the student's
standing. 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. Re-examinations are allowed in the case of conditional
failure. These examinations are given in the first week of each
quarter. Those failing in a re-examination are required to

Curriculum 29

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.

3. 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" examina-
tions.

This regulation applies to re-examinations as well as to
general 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

SUMMER WORK

Students may attend accredited summer schools. Courses
and credits must be approved by the Dean of the Faculty before
the close of the regular session of the College.

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 eighteen, and the minimum
fourteen. Second and third-year students may not take the
maximum number of hours a week unless they shall have re-
ceived merit grades in at least two-fifths of their work for the
preceding session. Fourth-year students may not take the maxi-
mum number of hours a week unless they shall have received
merit grades in at least one-half of their work for the preceding

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
attainment; "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

Curriculum 31

ninety of the one hundred eighty academic quarter hours of-
fered 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."

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 reg-
ister of students.

HONORS

The faculty awards honors at graduation upon students who
have done outstanding work throughout the college course. The
term "With Honor" is conferred automatically on those who
attain minimum grade requirements for the award. Gradua-
tion "With High Honor" is possible only for those who have
read for honors during the senior year, who are recommended
by their major departments, and who are formally approved
by the faculty both for academic achievement and for personal
promise.

Early in each session, at a formal academic occasion, honors
are announced for those in the first, second, or third years who
have done distinguished work in the preceding college year.

REQUIRED RESIDENCE

Except in very unusual cases, candidates for the degree must
complete the work of the junior and senior years in this college.

32 Agnes Scott College

AUTOMATIC EXCI.USION

A student whose work is notably unsatisfactory at the end of
any quarter is considered to have excluded herself automati-
cally from the coUege 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 spe-
cific 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 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 Ad-
mission or the Committee on Electives.

I. Courses required:

A. Specific requirements:

English 101 9 quarter hours

Bible 101, 201 or 301 9 quarter hours

B. Requirements with option:

1. Literature, Language (Latin, Greek, French, German, Spanish).
Two courses (18 quarter hours) in two departments.

One course (9 quarter hours) must be in a foreign language.
Elementary courses in the languages will not be accepted in ful-
filling this requirement. The student is urged to continue a lan-
guage begun in secondary school. If she elects a language in
which she has not had preparatory work she must continue it
for two years.

The literature option may be fulfilled by a literature course
in English or foreign language.

2. Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics.

Two courses (a minimum of 21 quarter hours) in two depart-
ments. During the emergency students may meet this group re-
quirement by taking one laboratory science. This is permitted in
order to provide laboratory facilities for the large number of stu-
dents preparing for scientific work in connection with the war
eflFort.

3. History, Qassical Civilization, Psychology, and either Economics
or Sociology.

Two courses (18 quarter hours) in two departments.

34 Agnes Scott College

The specific and group requirements for the degree must be
completed by the end of the sophomore year with such excep-
tions as the Committee on Electives shall permit. No student
shall be classified as a regular freshman unless she is taking
or has taken English 101 and one course from each of groups
1 and 2.

II. The elective hours are to be distributed as follows:

A. Each student is required to complete a major of thirty-
six hours (including the basic course) and a minor of twenty^
seven hours (including the basic course). The major anc
minor must be elected before the close of the third quarter of
the sophomore year, and the courses must be approved by the
professors concerned. Work in the major subject must be
continued throughout the junior and senior years, with such
exceptions as the head of the major department and the Com-
mittee on Electives shall permit.

Majors are offered in the following subjects: English, French,
German, Spanish, Latin, Greek, History, History and Political
Science, Economics and Sociology, Business Economics, Jour-
nalism, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, Psychology,
and Bible.

Inter-departmental majors are offered in Science, Social
Science, and the Classics.

B. The remaining hours required to complete the one bun-"
dred eighty hours in academic work may be chosen at will
subject to the following restrictions:

(1) Not more than two courses may be taken under any
one professor in any given quarter.

Bachelor of Arts Degree 35

(2) Not more than twenty-four hours may be taken in one
subject in any one session, and not more than sixty hours in
one subject may be presented for the degree.

(3) The elementary course in a foreign language may be
counted in making up the requirement for the degree only
when it is followed by another year of the same language or
when it is the fourth foreign language that the student has
taken.

An exception to this regulation is made for students who are
doing major work in Latin. With the recommendation of the
department and the approval of the Committee on Electives,
these students will be allowed to count elementary Greek
toward the degree.

Any student in any department of the College giving evi-
dence of inability to write correctly may be required to take
additional work in English composition, even though English
101 may have been passed.

In order to receive the nine quarter hours of credit required
in physical education, the student must have completed three
years of work in this department. Special arrangements will
be made for those entering with advanced standing.

WORK AT EMORY UNIVERSITY

Through a cooperative agreement it has been possible for
Agnes Scott students to elect senior college courses oflfered on
the Emory University campus. Present conditions make the
operation of this plan difficult for those taking a regular course
of study at Agnes Scott. Students who are interested should
consult the Dean in advance of registration. As soon as the
war is over the cooperative program of the two institutions will
be fully resumed.

ART

Professor Thomas
With Guest Lecturers

Looking to the future, the educational policy of Agnes Scott
College has been adapted to a new program in the visual arts.
The entire third floor north wing of Buttrick Hall has been
remodeled into new studios equipped for laboratory work
which will supiplement the art history program and carry reg-
ular academic credit.

Exhibits of paintings, prints, crafts, and other art products
are shown in the College Art Gallery in periods of two to three
weeks' duration so that visitors may study well-chosen original
works and become articulate in their language.

An annual exhibition of students' art work is held and from
this exhibition work is selected to be kept in the department as
long as it is useful.

There are two broad objectives of the new art program:

1. To provide a rich background in visual arts experiences.

Credit toward the degree will be allowed for courses in
speech amounting to eighteen quarter hours, but these courses
may not be included in the English major nor counted toward

the minor in English and Speech are outlined above.

If credit courses in music and practical art are elected, not
more than thirty-six hours in music, speech and practical art
combined will be counted toward the degree.

At time of entrance a test will be given all freshmen. Students
who have speech difficulties such as careless articulation, un-
pleasant voice quality, nasality, difficulty in reading aloud or
speaking with ease and force are urged to avail themselves of
the opportunity of remedying such defects as early as possible
by electing a course in speech.

No extra tuition is charged for class work in any course in
speech. One additional hour credit may be obtained each
quarter in speech courses by taking private lessons in addition
to class work. (There is an additional charge for private les-

by the phonetic method. Exercises for training the body to
respond to thinking are studied and practiced. Principles are

Music 107 during their first year of vocal study. Those who
are not sujQBciently advanced for degree credit in their first
year of practical work may count the credit received for Music
107 in their first year as the theoretical requirement for degree

102 Agnes Scott College

credit in practical work in their second year of work in voice.
In this case the second year of work in voice must immediately
follow the first year's work.

The total possible credit in practical music shall not exceed
eighteen hours, and the total possible credit for practical and
theoretical music shall not exceed thirty-six hours.

BUILDINGS AND EQUIPMENT

There are forty-one buildings, including several faculty
houses, situated on the campus. The principal buildings are
of brick and stone construction. A brief description of those
which form the working plant of the institution is given below.

The Agnes Scott Hall was the gift of the late Colonel
George W. Scott, who founded the College. This building is
the headquarters for social activities on the campus. It con-
tains an ofl&ce of the Dean of Sudents, parlors, reception rooms,
and day student quarters. It is centrally located and acces-
sible from all parts of the campus. (See also Residence Halls
below. )

BuTTRiCK Hall was 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. The building is four stories in height and is con-
structed of steel, reinforced concrete, brick and limestone,
with a roof of antique tile. It contains forty-eight offices for
administrative officers and faculty, thirty-two classrooms, the
post office, bookstore, college bank, art and psychology labora-
tories, four vaults, and ample storage space.

The Carnegie Library Building is named in honor of
Andrew Carnegie, who provided the funds for the first Agnes
Scott library. Constructed of brick and Indiana limestone with
graded tile roof, it is modern Gothic in style and conforms
in type to the adjacent buildings.

The building is L-shaped, one wing being two stories in
height with a large reading room on each floor. The other wing

is four stories in height and has a lecture room and storage
space on the ground floor; lobby and administrative quarters on
the first floor; seminar rooms, a staff lounge, projection and
typing rooms on the second floor; and an art gallery on the
top floor. Located in the internal angle of the building are
the tower bookstacks. An outdoor reading terrace is an addi-
tional feature.

Presser Hall, the most recent addition to the college plant,
was completed in 1940 and is named in honor of the late
Theodore Presser, a prominent music publisher. The Presser
Foundation, -which he established, contributed a substantial
part of the money for its erection.

The building is similar in style to Buttrick Hall and the
library and contains facilities for the teaching of music,
including soundproof studios and practice rooms, lecture halls,
ofl&ces, and storage quarters. It is featured by Gaines Chapel, a
beautiful Gothic church which may be transformed into an
auditorium for general assemblies, concerts, or plays. On the
second floor is Maclean Auditorium, seating three hundred
persons and suitable for informal recitals, vesper services, and
other group gatherings.

Lowry, houses the departments of biology, chemistry, and
physics. It is equipped with modem apparatus for the teach-

is used for dancing classes, rehearsals, and informal presenta-
tions.

The Murphey Candler Student Building is named in
honor of Hon. C. M. Candler, a trustee of the College from its
beginning until his death in 1935. Formerly used as a library,
the building was remodeled in 1936 to provide headquarters
for many of the student activities. Its reception room and
game room are used for parties, informal dancing, and other
forms of recreation. Ten other rooms furnish offices for pub-
lications and meeting places for the various organizations.

Residence Halls

Three large residence halls and four cottages provide dormi-
tory space for three hundred. All of these buildings are
comfortably equipped, lighted and heated, and all contain both
double and single rooms. Each room is furnished with single

student lamp, bookcase, and waste basket.

The Agnes Scott Hall contains, in addition to the features
already described, dormitory space for about seventy-five

No transcript of record will be sent to another institution

No student will be allowed to attend classes, or be permitted

If a patron finds it necessary to request deferred payment
of his account, when due, special arrangements must be made
in advance of the due date with the Treasurer. In all such
cases notes must be signed in advance. They bear interest
at six per centum from date payment was due. When 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.

the terms and regulations outlined in the catalogue.

Discounts
When two or more sisters enter as boarding students a dis-

General Information 141

count of $25.00 is allowed from the September payment, and
$13.00 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 $29.50 will be
allowed on tuition. This is credited $17.00 in September and
$12.50 in January.

Cooperative Work

As is true of many leading institutions, the College expects
its boarding students to share in the housekeeping arrange-
ments during the emergency. Each girl may be asked to give
an average of one hour per day to community activities, clean-
ing her own room, helping with telephones, hostess duty,
waiting on tables, or the like. Such work not only releases
labor for war service and reduces the cost of education, but
also develops individual and group responsibility.

Miscellaneons

It is recommended that each student be provided with
$20.00 upon entrance to college in order that she may have
funds to purchase the necessary books and supplies. These are
sold by the college bookstore for cash only.

It is hoped that parents will make only moderate allow-

142 Agnes Scott College

ances to their daughters for spending money. When money
is deposited in the college bank for the account of a student,
it is paid on her checks, and no other acoouBt is kept except
the cancelled checks.

Please do not include any funds for hooks or for a student's
personal account in checks covering college fees, nor should
laboratory fees be included, as students must obtain personal
permission of the committees to take these subjects.

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.

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

The dining hall and all dormitories are closed during the
Christmas holidays. Students must vacate their rooms on the
official closing date for the holidays.

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
students. If two or more 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.

General Information 143

Guests

The College regrets that it has been found necessary to limit
the 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 reasonable
charge. Whether guests are being entertained for the week-
end or for a single meal, permission must be obtained from
the Dean and meal tickets procured at the business office.

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

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

STUDENT ACTIVITIES

The student organizations and publications occupy an im-
portant place in the community life of the College. In order
to reduce the expenses of these enterprises to a minimum, the
students have devised a cooperative plan whereby the College
collects a fee of S18.00 from each student for distribution
among the organizations. This amount is included under the
general college fees.

The following receive a part of their support from the
student budget: Student Government Association, Agnes Scott
Christian Association, Athletic Association, "Aurora", "Silhou-
ette", "Agnes Scott News", Handbook, Mortar Board, Pi Alpha

Phi, Lecture Association, Blackfriars, May Day Committee,
International Relations Club, and Glee Club.

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 develop-
ment 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.

Athletic Association. The Athletic Association cooper
ates with the department of physical education in the manage
ment of sports. There are three seasons. During the fal
season hockey, swimming, archery, tennis, and golf are offered
during the winter season basketball, badminton and swim

ming; during the spring swimming, archery, tennis, and golf.
Interclass games are played in hockey and basketball and
tournaments are arranged in tennis, archery and golf. Swim-
ming meets are held during the fall and a water pageant is given
during the winter season. A tennis club affords much enjoy-
ment to the more skilled players. Membership in the outing
club is open to those skilled in hiking, camp craft, and outdoor
cooking.

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 to address the college community. These lectures
are open to the public upon the payment of a small fee.

Publications

The students issue the following publications:

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

The Silhouette. ^The annual, published by the student
body. It is a record of the student life for the current year.

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

The Student Handbook. A manual of information issued
annually by the student associations.

146 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 Christian Association are largely
attended, as is also the tri-weekly vesper service in the chapel
under the leadership of members of the faculty.

STUDENT HEALTH SERVICE

The student health service is under the direction of a woman
physician who lives near the college and is on call at all times
in case of emergency. She is assisted by two trained nurses who
live in the infirmary and are constantly on call.

Each new student is required to submit at the time of appli-
cation a certificate of examination by her private physician, a
certificate of successful vaccination within six years, and a
medical history blank. Forms are supplied by the College.

All new students are given a thorough physical examination
in the fall and spring of their first year, and each student has
a spring examination during her stay in college. The physical
education requirements, and in many instances the acadamic
work for the individual, are regulated in accordance with the
findings on physical examinations.

General Information 147

Each student has a 35 mm X-ray of chest made at the be-
ginning of the year. If anything abnormal is noted on the
small film, a regular size X-ray is made. The making of the
X-rays and the expense involved are taken care of by the
state. The reports on the X-rays are sent to the student's
physician for his record and the family is advised of any
abnormality.

Free typhoid inoculations are given if desired, and other
personal needs are met as far as possible by the medical de-
partment.

Boarding students who are ill must report to the physician
so that they may be cared for in the infirmary. Boarders are
not excused from classes for illness unless they are in the in-
firmary. Hospitalization is used as a means of preventing ill-
ness as well as of restoring health to those who are ill.

The medical fee of SlO.OO per year covers ordinary infirm-
ary and office care imless special medication or nursing is
needed, in which case the expense is met by the individual.
Boarding students should consult the college physician before
seeking medical or dental care in Atlanta. This policy saves
embarrassment for all concerned. Consultants are called in
at any time upon request.

ALUMNAE ASSOCIATION

ized in 1895. Its purpose of increasing the interest of its mem-
bers in the College and in each other has been consistently
maintained.

the Executive Board, composed of six officers and ten chair-
men of standing committees. The annual meeting for the
general association is held during Commencement.
