AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE

The purpose which has prevailed at Agnes Scott since its
founding has been to oifer 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.

i

ADMISSION OF STUDENTS

The College seeks candidates of ability. Realizing that abil-
ity may be developed by a program different 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, Latin 3, or Latin 2 plus modern 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.

I!

Admission of Students 19

II. Special Students. A limited number of mature students
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 Students. A few students are ad-
mitted 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 with the
courses taken indicated, 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. Appli-
cants for advanced standing must have received 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.

If the application is accepted the above fee is credited on the
September payment. If for any reason the student finds it im-
possible 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 insufficient or unless the College finds it im-
possible to admit her.

20 Agnes Scott College

II. Preliminary Certificates. Applicants are urged to send .
in their records 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 i
preparatory schools on the accredited list of the Southern Asso-
ciation of Colleges and Secondary Schools, or from any school li
accredited by other college associations of equal standing, in i
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 t
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 t
local schools. Applications for examinations away from the '
college should be filed with the Registrar by May 1st of each i
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 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.

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 under expert criticism. It is more often
in composition than literature that the prospective college
student is deficient.

22 Agnes Scott College

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 i
irregular forms; familiarity with the ordinary syntax, vocabu-
lary and idiom of the authors read and ability to use this s
knowledge in writing the language and in translation at sight. ,
The subject matter of the authors read, literary and historical 1
allusions and background material in general should receive e
careful attention. The texts to be read are not definitely (^
specified.

1. Latin (two, three, or four units). It is advised that at t
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 t
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 t
of prepared reading in poetry should be the equivalent of sixC
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 3
which develops the ability to translate at sight passages off
simple Attic prose and of Homer, and to write simple Greek, .i
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 I

Description of Entrance Subjects 23

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

CURRICULUM

Administration of the Curriculum

REGISTRATION

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

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

Note. If for any reason 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 S5.00 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
to conform with its demands.

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 15|th, all students at that time
in residence are required to file with the Registrar tentative
statements of their courses for the next year. These programs
are reviewed by the Committee on Electives and approved or
revised. The cards, with the courses entered upon them, are

28 Agnes Scott College

obtained from the Committee in the fall, presented to the pro-
fessors of the subjects, and, when properly signed, returned to
the Registrar's oflSce,

After a course has been agreed upon by the student, with the
advice of the Committee on Admission or the Committee on
Electives, no change will be permitted unless the question of the
student's health is 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 prompt-
ly 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 ab-
sence, whether the absence is 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 student from
the student body. A student absent from examination because
of sickness 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 permitted 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.

II

i 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 time other than that announced in the regular
schedule, or arranged for by the professor involved, written
application giving the reasons for the request must first be
made to the Dean of Students. If permission is granted for a
change in the examination schedule the applicant must present
the Registrar's receipt for $5.00 for such examination before
the professor is authorized to give it. These examinations are
known as "special" examinations.

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. If a course scheduled for three hours a

jweek for one quarter is taken, the resulting credit toward the
one hundred eighty quarter hours of academic work required
for the degree is three quarter hours. A year credit is the value
in quarter hours of a course pursued throughout the year. A
course scheduled for three hours a week for the whole year will

jgive a credit of nine quarter hours toward the degree.

30 Agnes Scott 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 is 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 aj
week for advanced students is eighteen and the minimum four-
teen. Second and third-year students will not be permitted toe.
take the maximum number of hours a week unless they received C|
merit grades in at least two-fifths of their work for the preced- i
ing session. Fourth-year students will not be permitted to take;
the maximum number of hours a week unless they received
merit grades in at least one-half of their work for the preceding !
session.

GRADING SYSTEM

Grades indicating the student's standing in any course aree
ofiScially 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.

Exact grades are not announced to students. Reports contain i
only the information: "Passed with Merit," "Passed," or
"Failed."

Note. For a statement of the "merit" requirements for
classification see notes preceding the oflGicial register of students.

Curriculum

HONORS

The faculty awards honors at graduation to 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. Graduation
"With High Honor" is possible only for those who have read
for honors during the senior year, who are recommended by
their maj or departments, and who are formally approved by the
faculty both for academic achievement and for personal
promise.

At a formal academic occasion early in each session, honors
are announced for those students who have done distinguished
work in the preceding college year.

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 college session.

The number of hours a student may take in one summer
session will depend upon the quality of her work at Agnes
Scott, upon the length of the summer session, and upon the
nature of the courses chosen.

Summer work will not be credited toward the degree unless
the student makes the equivalent of a merit grade in at least
one-half of the hours taken.

Only one-half of the hours merited in summer school may be
used to meet the merit requirement for classification.

I

32 Agnes Scott College

A student who attends summer sessions in order to acceleraf
her academic program may present for the degree no more tha^
the equivalent of a year's work done in residence.

REQUIRED RESIDENCE

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

AUTOMATIC EXCLUSION

A student whose work is notably unsatisfactory at the end d
of any quarter may be asked to withdraw from the college, or i
by vote of the faculty may be put on probation for the remain-
der of the year. If by the end of the session she fails to make i
at least twenty-two quarter hours of degree credit in academic '
work she is subject to automatic exclusion for the next year.

A student who fails for two successive years to meet the
requirements for advancement to the next higher class is sub-
ject to automatic exclusion.

Note: The College reserves the right to ask for the with-
drawal of any student whose continuance in residence may j
involve danger to her own health or to that of others, or who :
in the judgment of the administrative oflBcers is not in sympathy '1
with the ideals and standards of the college, or who is not t
mature enough for its program. In such cases it is not neces-
sary that any specific charges be made against the student.

THE BACHELOR OF ARTS DEGREE

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 who gives evi-
dence of inability to write correctly may be required to take
additional work in English composition, even though English

WORK AT EMORY UNIVERSITY

Through a cooperative agreement it has been possible for
Agnes Scott students to elect senior college courses offered 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 of the Faculty in advance of registration. As
soon as the war is over the cooperative program of the two in-
stitutions will be fully resumed.

ART

Professor Thomas

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 studios equipped for laboratory work which
supplements the art history program and carries regular aca-
demic 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. Regularly
scheduled guest lecturers are a feature of the program.

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.

Degree Credit

Credit toward the degree is given for courses in piano, organ,
voice and violin. This credit in practical music is limited to
eighteen hours.

The conditions under which credit will be allowed for courses
in piano, organ and violin are as follows:

1. At the beginning of the session students in piano must
pass a satisfactory examination in theory, given by the pro-
fessor of music, and demonstrate suflScient technical ability to
play correctly with regard to fingering, phrasing, rhythm,
tempo, and dynamic effects works of the grade of difficulty
of the simpler sonatas of Mozart and the simpler Songs With-
out Words of Mendelssohn. They will also be expected to offer
several of the two-part Inventions of Bach. This last item will
be considered important, as representing the student's experi-
ence with the polyphonic style of music.

Students applying for degree credit in violin must, in addition
to passing a satisfactory examination in theory, give evidence
of having done satisfactory work in study material of the
grade of difficulty of the Kayser Studies, Op. 20, Bks. I and II;
Mazas "Thirty Special Studies," Op. 36, Bk. I; Schradieck
"School of Violin Technics," Vol. I; and the concertos of
Accolay and Sitt.

Note: This requirement when offered at entrance into col-
lege will be accepted, upon examination only, as one unit in
the elective group. Only those who have had unusually good
training are advised to try this examination.

2. Students who have met the above requirement may re-
ceive a credit for practical music to the extent of six hours a

Description of Courses 99

year for three years upon the satisfactory completion of the
following work:

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

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

c. Theoretical work amounting to at least six credit hours
in addition to the six hours of practical credit.

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

1. The student will be admitted to degree credit work in
voice only after passing satisfactorily a test given by the
instructor.

2. Three hours' credit will then be given upon the comple-
tion of the following work:

a. Two lessons weekly half an hour each in vocal music.

b. Five hours of practice each week.

c. Theoretical work amounting to at least six credit hours
in addition to the three hours of practical credit.

Note: It is highly desirable that all students of voice take
Music 107 during their first year of vocal study. Those who
are not sufl&ciently 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
credit in practical work in their second year of work in voice.

I

100 Agnes Scott College

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

GENERAL INFORMATION

LOCATION AND HISTORY

Agnes Scott College is located in Decatur, Georgia, about
six miles from Atlanta, and forms with several neighboring
colleges and universities an educational center for the South-
east.

The College was organized in 1889 under the leadership of
Dr. Frank H. Gaines, pastor of the Presbyterian church in De-
catur. As Decatur Female Seminary, the school was intended
primarily to serve the local community. In 1890 Colonel George
W. Scott was impressed with its possibilities and agreed to
erect a building for the school, which was then chartered as
Agnes Scott Institute in honor of his mother. The curriculum
of the original school extended only through the grammar
grades, but the academic work was steadily developed; and by
1906 the institution was ready to confer degrees and was char-
tered as Agnes Scott College. At the same time, Agnes Scott
Academy was organized to handle the preparatory work, but
this was discontinued in 1913.

The College has had many friends who have helped in its
development. Its resources now amount to approximately
$5,000,000, divided almost evenly between endowment funds
and permanent assets, including buildings, grounds and equip-
ment.

EDUCATIONAL AFFILIATIONS

In 1907 the College was admitted to membership in the
Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. In
1920 it was placed on the approved list of the Association of
American Universities. It was a charter member of the Amer-

116 Agnes Scott College

ican Association of University Women and of the Southern
University Conference.

Phi Beta Kappa

Agnes Scott College was granted a charter by the United
Chapters of Phi Beta Kappa in 1926. It is designated as the
Beta Chapter of Georgia. Members are elected from the senior
class each year by this chapter, which makes its own rules of
eligibility under the general regulations of the national society.

Mortar Board

In 1932 the College was granted a chapter of Mortar Board,
which emphasizes service and leadership. Each year the local
chapter chooses members from the junior class who carry on
the work of the chapter during the following session.

BUILDINGS AND EQUIPMENT

There are forty-one buildings, including several faculty
houses, 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 office of the Dean of Students, parlors, reception rooms,
and day student quarters. It is centrally located and accessible
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 the Board.
The building is four stories in height and is constructed of

General Information 117

steel, reinforced concrete, brick and limestone, with a roof of
antique tile. It contains forty-eight oflSces for administrative
officers and faculty, thirty-two classrooms, the post office, book-
store, college bank, art and psychology laboratories, four vaults,
and 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, 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, includ-
ing soundproof studios and practice rooms, lecture halls, offices,
and storage quarters. It is featured by Gaines Chapel, a beauti-
ful Gothic church which may be transformed into an audito-

118 Agnes Scott College

rium 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.

The Lowry Hall, named in memory of William Markham
Lowry, houses the departments of biology, chemistry, and
physics. It is equipped with modern apparatus for the teaching
of these subjects and contains eleven laboratories, three lecture
rooms, and offices for the professors. In addition, there are a
vivarium, photographic room, greenhouse, and museum for the
biology department; and a library, research laboratory, two
balance rooms, and a dark room for the departments of chem-
istry and physics.

Bucher Scott Gymnasium-Auditorium. This building is
the center of athletic activities and is fully equipped for all
types of indoor sports. Basketball and badminton courts, a
large tile-lined swimming pool, showers, dressing rooms, and
offices for the physician and physical directors are located here.
An auditorium with seating capacity of nearly two thousand is
used for dancing classes, rehearsals, and informal presentations.

The Murphey Candler Student Building is named in
honor of Honorable C. M. Candler, a trustee of the college
from its beginning until his death in 1935. Formerly used as a
library, the building has been remodeled to provide headquar-
ters 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 publi-
cations and meeting places for the various organizations.

General Information 119

Residence Halls

Three large residence halls and four cottages provide dormi-
tory space for 325 students. All of these buildings are comfor-
tably equipped, lighted and heated, and all contain both double

mattresses and pillows, dressers, chairs, study table, student
lamp, bookcase, and waste basket.

The Agnes Scott Hall contains, in addition to the features
already described, dormitory space for about ninety students.

The Rebekah Scott Hall is a memorial to the late Mrs.
Rebekah Scott, wife of Colonel George W. Scott. It has two
dormitory floors, a chapel, a large dining room, lobby, and
reception rooms. A colonnade connects this building with the
Agnes Scott Hall.

late Samuel Martin Inman, former chairman of the Board of
Trustees, as a memorial to his deceased wife. It has three floors
devoted entirely to bedrooms.

Four Cottages on the campus offer accommodations for

joint efforts of trustees and alumnae and is in memory of Miss
Young, for twenty-one years a member of the faculty. It is a

rooms, and the office of the executive secretary of the Alumnae
Association.

The College does not provide room and board for resident
students during the Christmas vacation. The dining hall and
dormitories are closed at this time.

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

It is understood that upon the entrance of a student her

General Information 137

When two or more sisters enter as boarding students a dis-
count is allowed each student of $25.00 from the September
payment and $13.00 from the January payment.

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

the remainder in January.

A discount of $29.50 on tuition will be made to ministers
regularly engaged in their calling who send their daughters as
day students. This is credited $17.00 in September and $12.50
in January.

Personal Accounts and Fees

Parents are advised to make only moderate allowances to
their daughters. A comparatively small sum is needed during
the opening weeks for books and supplies, which may be pur-
chased for cash in the bookstore. The College suggests that
$25.00 or $30.00 be brought for this purpose.

Money may be deposited in the college bank to the account
of a student and is payable on her checks. No account other
than the cancelled checks is kept.

Funds for books or for a student's personal account are not
to be included in checks covering college fees, nor should labo-
ratory fees be included, as students must obtain permission of
the committees to take these subjects.

138 Agnes Scott College

No fee is charged students who arrive in Atlanta in time for
the official opening of college in September and who are met,
on request, by a representative of the College. At other times
a chaperon's fee will be charged; if two' or more students are
met the charge is to be divided equally among them. This fee
must be paid to the Dean of Students on the day following
arrival.

In cases of protracted illness or contagious diseases, parents
must provide a nurse at their expense and must pay for medi-
cines and for consultations.

Guests

The College regrets that it must limit the hospitality it has
heretofore extended. Since every space in the dormitories is
occupied by faculty and students, guests can be entertained
conveniently only from Saturday to Monday. At such times,
after consultation with the Dean of Students, vacancies caused
by the temporary absence 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 ob-
tained 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.

General Information 139

Cooperative Work

Agnes Scott, like many other institutions, has released labor
for war service by assigning to its boarding students a share
in the housekeeping program during the emergency. Each girl
may be asked to give an average of one hour per day to such
community activities as cleaning her own room, answering tel-
ephones, hostess duty, or helping in the dining hall. This co-
operative plan enables the College to operate without raising its
fees as much as would otherwise have been necessary and de-
velops individual and group responsibility.

STUDENT ACTIVITIES

The student organizations and publications occupy an im-
portant place in the community life of the college. 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," "Silhouette,"
"Agnes Scott News," Handbook, Mortar Board, Pi Alpha Phi,
Lecture Association, Blackfriars, May Day Committee, Interna-
tional Relations Club, and Glee Club.

Organizations

The Student Government Association. ^This organiza-
tion is based upon a charter granted by the faculty and has for
its purpose the ordering and control of the dormitory life and
of most other matters not strictly academic. Its membership

140 Agnes Scott College

includes all students. Consideration for the majority and the
development of the true cooperative spirit are two significant
results of the increased responsibility given to the students.

Agnes Scott Christun 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, and to do all possible to advance the Kingdom of God.
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. During the fall season hockey, swimming,
archery, tennis and golf are offered; during the winter season
basketball, badminton and swimming; during the spring swim-
ming, archery, tennis, and golf. Interclass games are played in
hockey and basketball and tournaments are arranged in tennis,
archery and golf. Swimming meets are held during the fall and
a water pageant is given during the winter season. A tennis
club aflfords enjoyment to the more skilled players. Membership
in the outing club is open to those skilled in hiking, camp craft,
and outdoor cooking.

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.

General Information 141

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, which is a record of student
life for the current year.

The Agnes Scott News. ^A weekly containing campus news
and opinions.

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

Clubs

A variety of clubs directed by students or by students and
faculty together provides opportunity for development of special
interests and talents. Membership in most of these is open by
try-out. They include language and Bible clubs, International
Relations Club, the debating soicety, Blackfriars dramatic club,
glee club, art students' league, cotillion club, and several literary
groups. The classics and science organizations. Eta Sigma Phi
and Chi Beta Phi, are national honorary societies.

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 and are expected
to attend this church on Sunday morning.

Devotional exercises are held in chapel every morning except
Monday. Although attendance is not compulsory, all students
are urged to be present regularly.

142 Agnes Scott College

The 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 at the college and is on call at all times in
case of emergency. She is assisted by two registered 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
an annual examination. The physical education requirements,
and in many instances the academic work of the individual,
are regulated in accordance with the findings on physical ex-
aminations.

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.

General Information 143,

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 $10.00 per year covers ordinary infirm-
ary and office care unless 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.

The College reserves the right, if the parents or guardians
cannot be reached, to make decisions concerning emergency
health problems.
