AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE

Location and History

Agnes Scott is a liberal arts college for women with an enrollment
averaging 500. It is located in Decatur, Georgia, about six miles
from the center of Atlanta, and forms with several neighboring col-
leges and universities an educational center for the Southeast.

The College was organized in 1889 as Decatur Female Seminary,
with Dr. Frank H. Gaines chairman of the board and later the first
president. In 1890 it was chartered as Agnes Scott Institute in honor
of the mother of Colonel George W. Scott, a benefactor of the insti-
tution. By 1906 it was ready to confer degrees and was chartered as
Agnes Scott College. At the same time, Agnes Scott Academy was
organized and offered preparatory work until its discontinuance m
1913.

Purpose

The purpose which has prevailed at Agnes Scott since its founding
has been to offer the best possible educational advantages under posi-
tive Christian influences. It is the aim of the College to prepare
Christian women to be a power in blessing the world and glorifymg
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 students.

The College offers the Bachelor of Arts degree. Optional courses
leading to this degree give each student the opportunity to elect a^
course most in accord with her special talents and plans.

Educational Affiliations 17

Financial Resources

The College has had many friends who have helped in its develop-
ment. Its resources now amount to more than $5,000,000, divided
almost evenly between endowment funds and permanent assets, in-
cluding buildings, grounds and equipment.

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 Univer-
sities. It was a charter member of the American Association of Uni-
versity 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.

ADMISSION OF STUDENTS

Agnes Scott has a resident student capacity of approximately 350.
Total enrollment averages 500. Because enrollment is limited, ad-
mission is competitive and is based on the applicant's excellence of
preparation, 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 complete
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 secondary
school record, scholastic aptitude test score, principal's recommenda-
tion, health report, and additional personal data Avhich the College
secures.

Requirements

1. Subjects. Candidates are admitted as freshmen upon the
presentation of sixteen acceptable units. One unit represents a year's
study in a subject. The following are regularly prescribed: English
4, algebra 2, plane geometry 1, Latin 3 if modern language is not
offered, or Latin 2 plus modern language 2.

Elective units may be presented in Bible, biology, botany, chem-
istry, French, general science, geography, German, Greek, history
(including civics and social science), Latin, mathematics, music,
physics, Spanish, zoolog)^ One vocational unit may be offered, or
two in exceptional cases. Not fewer than two units will be accepted

18

Admission of Students 19

in a language, and not more than four units will be accepted in any
one department.

Although only two units in Latin are prescribed, three or 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 Registrar for further information.
Under no circumstances will admission 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 satisfactory completion of
entrance requirements not more than two years prior to the application
for admission.

Procedure

1. Formal Application, The admission form will be furnished
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 $25.00, 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 Sep-
tember 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 insufficient or unless the College
finds it impossible to admit her.

Non-resident students are advised to apply during the spring pre-
ceding entrance in September. No registration fee is required.

2. Secondary School Certificate. Applicants are urged to
have sent during 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 admission, the

20 Agnes Scott College

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 prepara-
tion. 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 to
understand and enjoy good literature of various types and periods, and
to think clearly and express oneself effectively 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 masterpieces
in drama, poetry and the principal types of prose (narrative, essay and
biography).

2. Composition. 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.

Latin, Greek

Students offering either Latin or Greek should have a thorough
knowledge of all regular inflections and of the common irregular
forms; familiarity with the ordinary syntax, vocabulary and idiom of
the authors read; and ability to use this knowledge in writing the
language and in translation at sight.

1. Latin (two, three, or four units). It is advised that at least one
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.

Admission of Students 21

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.

French, German, Spanish

Credit will be given for two, three, or four units. The student
should be able to pronounce intelligibly, to read with understanding,
and to use the language with increasing facility with each additional
credit point offered. The goal should be reading and comprehending
without translation into English, and free handling of the language
in conversation and in theme work.

The fourth unit should give the cultural background and the liter-
ary appreciation necessary for admission to a course in literature.

Mathematics

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

History

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

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 zoology), geography,

Agnes Scott College

college admission. For details of the requirements, see the section on
degree credit under Department of Music. Students applying for
entrance credit must meet the same conditions as those applying for
admission to degree credit courses. They 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 Testament,
or in the Old and New Testaments combined.

Admission to Advanced Standing

A limited number of students from other institutions may be ad-
mitted each year with advanced standing credit. Each applicant must
fulfill the requirements for admission to the freshman class. She must
present a transcript of her college record, a copy of the college cat-
alogue with the courses taken indicated, and a letter of honorable dis-
missal. Because admission on this basis is limited, the College advises
only those 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 ac-
ceptable 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 office, where they are registered and given matriculation
cards. They then meet with the appropriate committees for classifi-
cation. Students who have not paid fees in advance report to the
Treasurer before going to the Registrar's office.

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 registra-
tion 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 familiar
with the plan of the curriculum and to arrange their courses to con-
form with its requirements.

During the summer, students entering as freshmen indicate tenta-
tive course selection on forms provided by the College. These forms
are returned to the Registrar's office and are approved 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 15, all students in residence file with the
Registrar cards indicating tentative course selection for the next ses-
sion. These course cards are approved or revised by the Committee
on Electives. At the time of classification in September, they are
obtained from the Committee and presented to instructors for signa-
ture at the first meeting of each class. They are then returned to the
Registrar's office.

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

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

23

24 Agnes Scott College

Attendance

Students are required to attend classes regularly and promptly in
accordance with regulations of the cut system announced at the begin-
ning of the session.

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

Examinations

General examinations are held at the end of each quarter. At-
tendance is required. A student absent from examination because of
illness may take the examination in question at the regular time sched-
uled for re-examlnations (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 the examination at
a time other than that announced. If permission is granted, the
student must present the Dean of Students' 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.

Administration of the Curriculum 25

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 number 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 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 only
the mformation: "Passed with Merit," "Passed," or "Failed."

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 college
records may be admitted to an honors reading program. This pro-
gram involves somewhat concentrated study in a particular 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 routine plan of courses may be achieved.

Students who complete the program successfully and whose gen-
eral academic records are outstanding may, on the recommendation

26 Agnes Scott College

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.

Summer Courses

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 remainder of the year. U by
the end of the session she has failed to earn at least twenty-two quarter

Administration of the Curriculum 27

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 require-
ments 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 standards
of the College or who is not mature enough for its program may be
asked to withdraw. In such cases the judgment of the administrative
officers is sufficient, and it is not necessary that specific charges be
made.

THE BACHELOR OF ARTS

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 elec-
tive. The program of work for each student must be approved by
the Committee on Admission or the Committee on Electives.

two years.

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

2. Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics.

Two courses (a minimum of 21 quarter hours) in two depart-

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 quar-
ter of the sophomore year and approved by the departments con-
cerned. Requirements for the major may be met by either of the
following methods:

(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 un-
related. If this plan is elected, one major must be designated as
primary.

majors are chosen) must continue throughout the junior and senior
years, with such exceptions as may be permitted by 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, Ger-
man, Greek, History, History and Political Science, Latin, Mathe-
matics, Music, Physics, Psychology, and Spanish. Through an

and the Classics.

30 Agnes Scott College

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 pro-
fessor in any given quarter.

2. Not more than twenty-five 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 who gives evidence
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 enter-
ing 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 indicated:

1. English 101.

2. A foreign language. A language begun in secondary 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.

Classification of Students 31

3. A laboratory science. Choice of general biology, botany, chem-
istry, 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 Admission. Since
two courses in social science are required for the degree, it is generally
advisable to take one in the freshman year and another in the sopho-
more 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.

Classification of Students

Candidates for the degree are classified according to the require-
ments outlined below:

Freshmen:

Upon presentation of required entrance units, provided the regular
freshman program of studies is taken. In this classification are listed
second-year students who have not been admitted to sophomore
standing.

Sophomores :

1. A passing grade in 45 quarter hours of academic work, or suffi-
cient hours merited plus the number of hours passed to give a total
of 45. In meeting this latter requirement, a minimum of 30 quarter
hours of academic work must be passed.

2. Sufficient hours scheduled during the current session to give a total
of 78 quarter hours for junior standing.

Juniors:

1. Completion of 78 quarter hours of academic work.

given for a course until the entire course is completed.

Emory University Courses

Through a cooperative agreement, major work in business eco-
nomics and journalism is offered on the Emory University campus.
Other courses not offered at this college may be taken at Emory.
Permission for such work is given by the Committee on Electives and

(b) One of the following: 327, 328, 360

Elective courses to complete the major and to meet the requirement of

Students expecting to teach English are advised to take American
literature. The department urges English majors to study Greek

do graduate work should have at least two years of French and Ger-
man. Other subjects closely related to English are history and
philosophy.

Attention is particularly called to the importance for English ma-
jors 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 concentration in the field of English by

English 63

selecting, under the direction of the department, courses in other
departments which will give the breadth of studies required of all
Agnes Scott students.

English Speech

Degree credit of eighteen quarter hours will be allowed for courses

voice quality, nasality, difficulty in reading aloud or speaking with
ease and force are urged to remedy 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.
Two private lessons a week taken along with a course in speech will

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 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 pillows, dressers,
chairs, study table, student lamp, bookcase, and waste basket. Stu-
dents will supply their own bed linen, blankets, curtains, rugs, and
towels. Radios are permitted.

COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES

Extra-Curricular Program

The student organizations and publications occupy an important
place in the life of the college community. To reduce their expenses
to a minimum, the students have requested the College to collect a
fee of $18.00 from each student for distribution among the organiza-
tions. This amount is included under the general college fees. It
provides a part of the support for the following: Student Government
Association, Christian Association, Athletic Association, the Hand-
book, Mortar Board, Pi Alpha Phi, Lecture Association, Blackfriars,
May Day Committee, International Relations Club, Glee Club, the
literary magazine, the annual, and the weekly newspaper.

The Student Government Association is based upon a char-
ter 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 includes all students.

Agnes Scott Christian Association develops the spiritual life
of the students and cooperates with other student associations in gen-
eral Christian work. Most of the student body are members.

Athletic Association cooperates with the department of physi-
cal 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 lecturers to the college community.

Publications include the "Aurora," a quarterly literary maga-
zine; the "Silhouette," the student annual ; the "Agnes Scott News,"
the campus weekly; and "The Student Handbook," a manual of in-
formation issued annually by the student associations and mailed to
new students during the summer preceding admission.

102

Community Activities 103

Clubs directed by students or by students and faculty together
provide opportunity for development of special interests and talents.
Membership in most of these is open by tryout. They include lan-
guage and Bible clubs, International Relations Club, Pi Alpha Phi
debating society, 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. Other religious services include Sun-
day evening vespers and discussion groups conducted by Christian
Association, and the tri-weekly vesper services 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 examination
by her private physician, a certificate of successful vaccination 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.

104 Agnes Scott College

Once a year all students are given a thorough physical examina-
tion. The physical education requirements, and in many instances
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 beginning
of the year. If anything abnormal is noted on the small film, a reg-
ular 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, 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 department.

Resident students who are ill must report to the physician for
infirmary care. They are not excused from classes for illness unless
they are in the infirmary. Hospitalization is used as a means of pre-
venting illness as well as of restoring health to those who are ill.

The medical fee of $10.00 per year covers ordinary infirmary and
office care unless special medication or nursing is needed, in which
case the expense is met by the individual. Resident students should
consult the college physician before seeking medical or dental care in
Atlanta. 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.

Counseling ^^

While each student is encouraged to be increasingly self-reliant
in college and community life, the College realizes the value of ad-
visory assistance in developing individual interests and ability. Gen-
eral academic counseling and guidance of advanced students are under
the supervision of the Dean of the Faculty, who is assisted by the
Recorder. Counseling of freshmen is done by the Committee on
Admission, an Assistant Dean of Students, and designated members
of the faculty.

General counseling of students, particularly in relation to non-

Community Activities 105

academic problems and social and extra-curricular activities, is cen-
tered in the office of the Dean of Students.

Placement Service

The College operates a placement service through the office of the
Dean of the Faculty. Confidential reference files are maintained
for all graduates and are sent to prospective employers on request.
There is no charge for the service.

The College does not provide room and board for resident students
during the Christmas vacation. The dining halls 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 parent or
guardian accepts as final and binding the terms and regulations out-
lined in the catalogue.

Personal Accounts

Parents are advised to make only moderate allowances to their
daughters. A comparatively small sum is needed during the openmg
weeks for books and supplies; these may be purchased 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
