AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE

The purpose which has prevailed at Agnes Scott since its
founding has been to offer the best possible educational ad-
vantages under positive Christian influences the training of
the mind in a modern, well-equipped college and at the same
time the formation and development of Christian character
and ideals. It is the aim of the College to prepare Christian
women to be a power in blessing the world and glorifying
God.

The College was founded by Presbyterians and its moral
standards and religious life conform as nearly as possible to
those of that church. It is not controlled or supported by the
church, however, and special care is taken not to interfere in
any way with the religious views or church preferences of stu-
dents.

The College offers the B.A. degree. Optional courses lead-
ing to this degree give each student the opportunity to elect
a course most in accord with her special talents and plans.

ADMISSION OF STUDENTS

Agnes Scott is a liberal arts college for women with a resi-
dent student capacity of approximately 330. Total enrollment
averages 500. Because enrollment is limited, admission is
competitive and is based on the applicant's excellence of prepa-
ration, general ability and interests, character, personality,
and health.

Candidates whose homes are not in the local community
must apply for admission as resident students. Exception may
be made if they can live with close relatives. Candidates whose
homes are in the local community may apply for admission as
non-resident students.

Absolute promise of acceptance cannot be given until com-
plete records are filed in the Registrar's office. This is usually
the middle or latter part of June. Tentative acceptance can be
given after mid-year grades are received.

Correspondence regarding admission should be directed to
the Registrar.

ADMISSION TO THE FRESHMAN CLASS

Criteria for judging admission qualifications include the sec-
ondary school record, scholastic aptitude test score, principal's
recommendation, health report, and additional personal data
which the College secures.

Requirements

1. Subjects. Candidates are admitted as freshmen upon
the presentation of sixteen acceptable units. One unit repre-
sents a year's study in a subject. The following are regularly

22 Agnes Scott College

prescribed: English 4, algebra 2, plane geometry 1, Latin 3,.
or Latin 2 plus modern language 2.

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

Although only two units in Latin are prescribed, three orr
four units in this subject are recommended.

The College feels that the subjects listed above provide the ),
best preparation for the liberal arts program. However, a few '
exceptions may be made for students of unusual promise who,
because of their secondary school curricula, cannot entirely
meet these requirements. Such students may write to the Regis-
trar for further information. Under no circumstances will ad-
mission be granted when less than sixteen units are offered.

2. Preparation. Applicants who complete preparatory
work in schools accredited by their regional association will be
admitted by certificate. Their certificates must indicate satis-
factory completion of entrance requirements not more than
two years prior to the application for admission.

Procedure

1. Formal Application. The admission form will be fur-
nished on request. The resident student application should be
filed in the fall preceding the session in which the student is
interested. It must be accompanied by a registration fee of
.00, preferably in New York exchange or postal money

Admission of Students 23

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. It will be refunded on request on or
before June 30 of the year of entrance. After that date it will
not be refunded unless the preparation of the applicant is in-
sufficient or unless the College finds it impossible to admit her.

Non-resident students are advised to apply during the spring
preceding entrance in September. No registration fee is re-
quired.

2. Secondary School Certificate. Applicants are urged
to have sent in at the end of the junior year a preliminary
statement of courses taken and grades made. This will enable
the College to evaluate credits and offer advice on subsequent
preparation.

Prior to, or at the time of filing the application for admis-
sion, the student should request the secondary school to submit,
on the blank provided by the College, a transcript of record
to date. The College will secure the statement of final grades
at the end of the term.

3. Scholastic Aptitude Test. This test requires no prep-
aration. Instructions will be sent during the spring to resident
student applicants. Non-resident student applicants will take
the test at the college during the early part of the summer.

4. Medical Report. Blanks will be forwarded during the
July preceding entrance. The report must be returned to the
college physician by September 1.

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 ef-
fectively in writing.

1. Literature. The student will be expected to have a comprehen-
sion and appreciation of the content and form of some of the master-
pieces in drama, poetry and the principal types of prose (narrative, essay
and biography) . She wiU be expected to discuss these works with suf-
ficient maturity of grasp, with a proper use of the simpler critical dis-
tinctions involved, and with a general knowledge of the relevant back-
ground, personal, historical and literary.

2. 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 correctness 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 com-
position than literature that the prospective college student is deficient.

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, and the literary and his-
torical 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

Admission of Students 25

semester be devoted (1) in the second year to selections 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 ac-
companied by training in prosody; the student should be familiar with
hexameter and have practice in reading verse rhythmically. The Aeneid
should be studied as literature.

2. Greek (two or three units). Any systematic course which de-
velops the ability to translate at sight passages of simple Attic prose
and of Homer, and to write simple Greek. To meet the two-unit re-
quirement 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 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.

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 intelligibly, to read at
sight easy prose, to use the language orally within 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 stu-
dent should be able to read and comprehend the foreign text without

26 Agnes Scott College

translation into English, to write a theme in the foreign language on i
subjects suggested by the texts studied, to carry on a simple conversation
in the foreign language. Increased emphasis should be put on the
cultural background by collateral reading and reports.

Mathematics

Two units in algebra and one unit in plane geometry are
prescribed. In addition, one-half unit in solid geometry and
one-half unit in trigonometry may be presented.

1. Algebra. The requirement includes the four fundamental opera-
tions for rational algebraic expressions; factoring; fractions; ratio and
proportion; linear equations; exponents; quadratic equations; binomial
theorem for positive integral exponents; arithmetical and geometrical
progressions; and variations. The use of graphical methods and illus-
trations, particularly in connection with the solution of equations, is
required.

2. Plane Geometry. The usual theorems and constructions of good
textbooks, including the general properties of plane rectilinear figures,
the circles and the measurement of angles, similar polygons, areas, loci
problems, and applications to the mensuration of lines and plane sur-
faces.

History

Total entrance credit in history, civics, and social science
may not exceed four units. Courses may be elected from the
following list: Greek history to the death of Alexander and
Roman history to 800 A.D., or ancient and medieval history;
medieval and modern European history, or modern European
history; world history; English history; American history;
civics (one unit, or one-half unit if preceded by a history
course) ; social science (as much as one unit).

Admission of Students 27

Science

Total entrance credit may not exceed four units. Each of the
following electives represents a year's study and should include
a large amount of laboratory work: physics, chemistry, botany,
zoology, biology (not accepted in addition to botany or zoolo-
gy), geography, general science, home economics.

Music

One unit in the elective group may be offered in music by
examination only. This examination covers theory and instru-
mental proficiency and must be taken at the college. Prepara-
tion may not be done in college for college admission. For
details of the requirements, see Department of Music. Students
are not advised to try for this unit unless they have had unusual
musical training.

Bible

The College will accept one unit in the Old or New Testa-
ment, or in the Old and New Testaments combined.

ADMISSION TO ADVANCED STANDING

A limited number of students from other institutions may be
admitted each year with advanced standing credit. Each ap-
plicant must fulfill the requirements for admission to the
freshman class. She must present a transcript of her college
record, a copy of the college catalogue with the courses taken
indicated, and a letter of honorable dismissal. Because admis-
sion on this basis is limited, the College advises only those

28 Agnes Scott College

students to apply who have made strong records and who have
followed a course corresponding to the Agnes Scott program.

Students considering transfer from another college should
consult the Registrar as early as possible.

Candidates for the degree must complete the work of the
junior and senior years in this college. Exception is made only
in unusual cases.

ADMISSION OF 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.
They will not be admitted as resident students.

ADMINISTRATION OF THE
CURRICULUM

REGISTRATION

Students reporting for admission in September go first to
the Registrar's oflSce, where they are registered and given
matriculation cards. They then meet with the appropriate
committees for classification. Students who have not paid
fees in advance report to the Treasurer before going to the
Registrar's ofl&ce.

A student who fails to register in time to attend her first
scheduled lecture at the beginning of the fall quarter is charged
a late registration fee of $5.00. A student returning late from
Christmas vacation is also subject to this penalty unless her
excuse is approved by the Dean of Students.

SELECTION OF COURSES

Students are expected to make themselves thoroughly famil-
iar with the plan of the curriculum and to arrange their courses
to conform with its requirements.

During the summer, students entering as freshmen indicate
tentative course selection on forms provided by the College.
These forms are returned to the Registrar's office and are ap-
proved or revised by the Committee on Admission. At time of
entrance in September, freshmen meet with the Committee for
definite course selection.

On or before April 15th, all students in residence file with
the Registrar cards indicating tentative course selection for the
next session. These course cards are approved or revised by
the Committee on Electives. At the time of classification in

30 Agnes Scott College

September, they are obtained from the Committee and pre-
sented to instructors for signature at the first meeting of each
class. They are then returned to the Registrar's ofl&ce.

A course of study which has been approved cannot be
changed without the permission of the Committee on Admis-
sion or Electives.

All students must be definitely classified within two weeks
after their arrival at college.

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.

Instructors are authorized to require students to make up
work by taking written tests covering periods lost through ab-
sence, whether absence is excused or unexcused.

i

EXAMINATIONS '

General examinations are held at the end of each quarter.
Attendance is required. A student absent from examination
because of illness may take the examination in question at the
regular time scheduled for re-examinations (see below). A
student absent without excuse from the Dean of Students or the
physician is automatically excluded from college.

Re-examinations are permitted in the case of conditional
failure. These examinations are given in the first week of the
quarter following failure. Those failing in a re-examination
are required to repeat the course or forfeit the credit.

A "special" examination is given only with the permission
of the Dean of Students in response to a written request from
the student. This request must state why it is necessary to take

Curriculum 31

the examination at a time other than that announced. If per-
mission is granted, the student must present the Dean of Stu-
dents' receipt for $5.00 before the instructor is authorized to
give the examination.

CREDIT HOURS

Three quarters make up the college year. Credit for courses
taken is given in terms of quarter hours. A course scheduled
for three hours a week for one quarter will give a credit of
three quarter hours toward the one hundred eighty quarter
hours of academic work required for the degree. A course
scheduled for three hours a week for the entire college year
will give a credit of nine quarter hours toward the degree.

LIMITATION OF HOURS

The maximum number of lecture or recitation hours a week
for freshmen is sixteen and the minimum fourteen. With the
permission of the Committee on Admission some students may
carry only twelve hours.

The maximum number of lecture or recitation hours a week
for advanced students is eighteen and the minimum fourteen.
Second and third-year students will not be permitted to carry
the maximum number unless they earned merit grades in at
least two-fifths of their work for the preceding session. Fourth-
year students will not be permitted to carry the maximum num-
ber unless they earned 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 are
officially recorded as follows: A, excellent attainment; B, very

32 Agnes Scott College

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 con-
tain only the information: "Passed with Merit," "Passed," or
"Failed."

Note : For a statement of the "merit" requirements for class
standing, see section on Classification of Students.

HONORS PROGRAM

Seniors who are qualified on the basis of their general col-
lege records may be admitted to an honors reading program.
This program involves somewhat concentrated study in a par-
ticular field and culminates in a paper or report and in oral
and written examinations. It carries three hours credit for
each quarter of the senior year. Through such a program the
College believes that intellectual values not possible in the rou-
tine plan of courses may be achieved.

Students who complete the program successfully and whose
general academic records are outstanding may, on the recom-
mendation of their major departments, be approved by the
faculty for graduation With Honor. Students who complete
the program with distinction may be approved for graduation
With High Honor.

Students who do not elect the honors program but whose
general academic records are exceptional may be recommended
for graduation With Honor.

Curriculum 33

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.

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

REQUIRED RESIDENCE

Candidates for the degree must complete the work of the
junior and senior years in this college. Exception is made only
in unusual cases.

AUTOMATIC EXCLUSION

A student whose work is notably unsatisfactory at the end
of any quarter may be asked to withdraw from the college or
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 has failed to
earn at least twenty-two quarter hours of degree credit in

34 Agnes Scott College

academic work she is subject to automatic exclusion for the
next year.

A student who fails for two successive years to meet the re-
quirements for advancement to the next higher class is subject
to automatic exclusion.

A student whose continuance in college may involve danger
to her own health or to that of others may be asked to withdraw.

A student who is not in sympathy with the ideals and stand-
ards of the College or who is not mature enough for its pro-
gram may be asked to withdraw. In such cases the judgment
of the administrative ofl&cers is sufficient, and it is not neces-
sary that specific charges be made.

THE BACHELOR OF ARTS
DEGREE

REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE

Candidates for the B.A. degree must present a minimum of
one hundred eighty quarter hours of academic work of which
half must be of merit grade (C or above). A minimum total
of forty-eight quarter hours of merit grade must be earned in
the junior and senior years, with not less than twenty-one
merit hours earned in either of these years. In addition to the
academic hours, nine quarter hours in physical education must
be presented.

Certain courses are required, as listed below, and others are
elective. The program of work for each student must be ap-
proved by the Committee on Admission or the Committee on
Electives.

Required Courses

A. Specific requirements:

English 101 9 quarter hours

Bible 101, 201 or 301 9 quarter hours

B. Requirements with option:

1. Literature, Language (Classical Languages, 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

36 Agnes Scott College

in English or in foreign language.

2. Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics.

Two courses (a minimum of 21 quarter hours) in two depart-
ments. Because of crowded laboratory conditions pending the
erection of a new science hall, students entering in 1946 may
meet this group requirement by taking one laboratory science.

3. History or Political Science, Classical Civilization, Psychology,
Economics or Sociology.

Two courses (18 quarter hours) in two departments.

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 permits. 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.

Major and Related Hours

Major work must be planned by each student in the spring
quarter of the sophomore year and approved by the depart-
ments concerned. Requirements for the major may be met by
either of the following methods:

1. The completion of a major of not less than thirty-six
hours (including the basic course) and twenty-seven hours in
related fields. At least eighteen of these related hours must be
in one subject.

2. The completion of two majors in subjects which may be
unrelated. If this plan is elected, one major must be designated
as primary.

Work in the major subject (or in the primary major if two
majors are chosen) must continue throughout the junior and
senior years, with such exceptions as may be permitted by

Degree Requirements 37

major professors and the Committee on Electives.

At least eighteen hours of the major subject must be of
merit grade.

Major work is offered in the following subjects: Art, Bible,
Biology, Chemistry, Economics and Sociology, English, French,
German, Greek, History, History and Political Science, Latin,
Mathematics, Music, Physics, Psychology, and Spanish.
Through an agreement with Emory University, major work is
offered in Business Economics and Journalism.

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

Elective Courses

The remaining hours required to complete the one hundred
eighty hours of academic work may be chosen subject to the
following restrictions :

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

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 Elec-
tives, these students will be allowed to count elementary Greek
toward the degree.

Any student in any department of the college who gives evi-

38 Agnes Scott College

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 complete three years
of work in this department. Special arrangements will be made
for those entering with advanced standing credit.

FRESHMAN PROGRAM

Freshmen will make a tentative selection of courses during
the summer preceding admission. Blanks will be provided by
the College.

The following courses must be elected, with the options in-
dicated:

1. English 101.

2. A foreign language. A language begun in high school
may be taken for a minimum of one year, or a new language
may be elected, to be taken for a minimum of two years.

3. A science. Choice of biology, chemistry, or physics. If
physics is taken, mathematics should also be elected.

In addition to the above requirements, freshmen will take
one or two courses with the advice of the Committee on Ad-
mission. Since two courses in social science are required for
the degree, it is generally advisable to take one in the fresh-
man year and another in the sophomore year. In this field
History 101 and Classical Civilization 150 are open to first-
year students. Elective courses in art, Bible, foreign languages,
mathematics, music and speech are available.

foreign language or its equivalent (two high school
years count as one college year) .

Greek or Latin literature requirement: As a necessary back-
ground to English and American literature every major
must take either (a) one college year of Greek or Latin
literature in the original, or (b) at least one of the fol-
lowing courses in translation: Classics 250a, 310b, 314c.

quirement of related hours must be approved by the de-

dents intending to do graduate work should have at least two
years of French and German. Other subjects closely related to

Attention is particularly called to the importance for Eng-

82 Agnes Scott College

lish majors of work in Speech. When an English major elects
courses in Speech to meet the requirement of related hours,
she will be expected to compensate for this unusual concentra-
tion in the field of English by selecting, under the direction of
the department, courses in other departments which will give
the breadth of studies required of all Agnes Scott students.

unpleasant voice quality, nasality, difficulty in reading aloud
or speaking with ease and force are urged to remedy such de-
fects as early as possible by electing a course in speech.

No extra tuition is charged for class work in any course in
speech. Two private lessons a week taken along with a course

quarter. In such cases these courses will be designated 105- A,
217-A, 309aA, etc.

105. Fundamentals of Speech. The purpose of this course
is to develop a good speaking voice and good diction, and

for training the body to respond to thinking are studied
and practiced. Principles are applied through the inter-
pretation before audiences of the short story, lyric and

PHYSICAL EDUCATION

Professor Burns Associate Professor Wilburn

Assistant Professor Lapp Miss Dozier

Miss Ames

Once a year every student is given a careful physical exami-
nation by the resident physician and the directors of physical
education. When it seems advisable, special individual gym-
nastic work is scheduled instead of the regular class work.

Physical education is required of all students during the first
three years in college. The courses are numbered 101, 201 and
301. The completion of these courses gives the nine hours credit
required for the degree.

The department of physical education is following the pro-
gram for physical fitness outlined by the United States Office of
Education.

1. Fundamentals of Body Control: Required of all fresh-
men. This course concentrates directly on the acquisition
of endurance, strength, flexibility, relaxation, and body
control. Achievement tests are given at the end of the
course. Students who are not able to meet the standards
of the course are enrolled in individual gymnastic classes
for the winter quarter.

2. Team Sport: All students are required to take part in
one team sport such as field hockey, basketball, or volley
ball before graduation.

3. Individual Activities: Choice of one. Swimming, tennis,

Physics 119

archery, badminton, riding, and golf are offered so that
each student will have the opportunity of the training
provided by such sports. A small fee is charged for riding.

4. Dance: One quarter required.

5. Swimming Test: This must be passed by the end of the
sophomore year or the student will be assigned to an
elementary swimming class.

A physical education fee of $10.00 is charged all new stu-
dents. This fee covers cost of gymnasium outfit, bathing suit,
towels, laundry and upkeep of equipment for the four years.
All equipment is bought by the college.

At the end of any session a student who has failed four
quarters of physical education will not be allowed to return to
college unless the work is made up during the summer vacation.

GENERAL INFORMATION

LOCATION AND HISTORY

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

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 agreed to provide 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. The academic work was
steadily developed, however, and by 1906 the institution was
ready to confer degrees and was chartered as Agnes Scott Col-
lege. At the same time, Agnes Scott Academy was organized
and offered preparatory work until 1913, when it was discon-
tinued.

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-

Buildings and Equipment 133

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

Phi Beta Kappa

The 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

Forty-one buildings, including several faculty houses, are
located on the campus. The main buildings are brick and stone.
Those of more recent construction are modern Gothic in design.

BuTTRiCK Hall, the classroom-administration building, was
erected through the support of the General Education Board of
New York and is named in honor of Dr. Wallace Buttrick, for-
mer president of the Board. It contains ofl&ces for administra-
tive officers and faculty, thirty-two classrooms, the art and psy-
chology laboratories, and the college post office, bookstore, and
bank.

The Carnegie Library, erected in 1936, is named in honor
of Andrew Carnegie, who provided funds for the first Agnes

134 Agnes Scott College

Scott library. Two large reading rooms, lecture and seminar
rooms, an art gallery, open stacks, and an outdoor reading
terrace are special features.

Presser Hall, the music building, was completed in 1940
and bears the name of Theodore Presser, Philadelphia music
publisher whose Foundation contributed substantially toward
its erection. The building contains facilities for the teaching of
music, including soundproof studios and practice rooms, and
is featured by Gaines Chapel and Maclean Auditorium, where
general assemblies, concerts, plays, and religious services are
held.

The Lowry Hall, named in memory of William Markham
Lowry, houses the departments of biology, chemistry, and phys-
ics. It contains eleven laboratories, three lecture rooms, a li-
brary, greenhouse, and museum.

The Agnes Scott Hall, the gift of the late Colonel George
W. Scott, provides headquarters for campus social activities.
It contains an office of the Dean of Students, reception rooms,
day student quarters, and three floors devoted to dormitory
space.

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

The Jennie D. Inman Hall is a gift of the late Samuel Mar-
tin Inman, former chairman of the Board of Trustees. The en-
tire three-story building is a residence hall.

Four Cottages on the campus provide dormitory space for
fifty students.

Rooms 135

BucHER Scott Gymnasium-Auditorium is the center of
athletic activities. Basketball and badminton courts, an audito-
rium, swimming pool, and offices of the physician and physical
education directors are located here.

The Murphey Candler Student Building is named in
honor of the late C. M. Candler, a trustee of the college. For-
merly used as a library, the building has been remodeled to
provide headquarters for student organizations and activities.

Auxiliary Buildings

The Anna Young Alumnae House was erected by trustees
and alumnae in memory of Miss Anna Young, former member
of the faculty. A tea room, guest rooms, and the ofl&ces of the
Alumnae Association are housed here.

The Alumnae Infirmary, located south of Lowry Hall, was
erected through the efforts of the alumnae.

The Steam Plant on the south border of the campus sup-
plies heat to all the college buildings.

The Laundry adjoins the steam plant and is operated for
the benefit of the college community.

Fifteen Houses on the campus are available for faculty.

Harrison Hut and its grounds in the woods south of the
campus provide facilities for camping.

ROOMS

Rooms and roommates for new students are assigned by the
Dean of Students. Special requests should be filed early for
consideration. Applicants admitted with an early registration

136 Agnes Scott College

have a better choice of rooms than those who register late.

Information regarding assignment of rooms and roommates
is not available until the student arrives at college.

All rooms are at the same rate, whether double or single.
Each room is furnished with single beds, mattresses and pil-
lows, dressers, chairs, study table, student lamp, bookcase, and
waste basket. Students will supply their own bed linen, blan-
kets, curtains, rugs, and towels. Radios are permitted.

STUDENT LIFE
Cooperative Work

Agnes Scott, like many other institutions, assigns to all resi-
dent students a share in the housekeeping program. Each girl
may be asked to give an average of one hour a day to such
community activities as cleaning her own room, answering tel-
ephones in the dormitories, hostess duty, or helping in the
dining hall. The College believes that individual and group
responsibility are developed through such a cooperative plan.

Extra-Curricular Activities

The student organizations and publications occupy an im-
portant place in the community life of the college. To reduce
their expenses to a minimum, the students have requested the
College to collect a fee of S18.00 from each student for distri-
bution among the organizations. This amount is included un-
der the general college fees. It provides a part of the support
for the following: Student Government Association, Christian
Association, Athletic Association, the Handbook, Mortar Board,
Pi Alpha Phi, Lecture Association, Blackfriars, May Day Com-

Student Life 137

mittee, International Relations Club, Glee Club, the literary
magazine, the annual, and the weekly newspaper.

The Student Government Association is based upon a
charter granted by the faculty and has for its purpose the or-
dering and control of the dormitory life and of most other
matters not strictly academic. Its membership includes all
students.

Agnes Scott Christian Association develops the spiritual
life of the students and cooperates with other student associa-
tions in general Christian work. It has the sympathetic interest
and support of the faculty. Most of the student body are mem-
bers.

Athletic Association cooperates with the department of
physical education in the management of sports and sponsors
inter-class games, tournaments, swimming meets, horse shows,
and general recreational activities. Individual interests and
skills are developed through various sports clubs.

Public Lecture Association, an organization of students
and faculty, brings well-known lecturers to the college commu-
nity.

Publications include the "Aurora," a quarterly literary
magazine; the "Silhouette," the student annual; the "Agnes
Scott News," the campus weekly; and "The Student Hand-
book," a manual of information issued annually by the student
associations.

Clubs directed by students or by students and faculty to-
gether provide opportunity for development of special interests
and talents. Membership in most of these is open by tryout.
They include language and Bible clubs. International Relations

138 Agnes Scott College

Club, Pi Alpha Phi debating society, Blackfriars dramatic club,
glee club, art students' league, cotillion club, and several liter-
ary groups. The classics and science organizations, Eta Signia
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. Other religious services in-
clude Sunday evening vespers and mission study classes con-
ducted by Christian Association, and the tri-weekly vesper serv-
ices led by members of the faculty.

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.

Each new student is required to submit a certificate of exami-
nation by her private physician, a certificate of successful vac-
cination within six years, and a medical history report. Blanks
for this information will be forwarded during the summer and
should be returned to the college physician as soon as possible.
They must be returned by September 1.

Each new student is urged to have ophthalmological and
dental examinations during the summer preceding admission.

Once a year all students are given a thorough physical exami-

Counseling 139

nation. The physical education requirements, and in many in-
stances the academic work of the individual, are regulated in
accordance with the findings on these examinations.

Each student has a 35 mm X-ray of chest made at the begin-
ning 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 re-
ports on the X-rays are sent to the student's physician, 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.

Resident students who are ill must report to the physician
for infirmary care. They are not excused from classes for ill-
ness unless they are in the infirmary. Hospitalization is used as
a means of preventing illness 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
