AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE
Location and History
Agnes Scott is a liberal arts, non-sectarian college for
women with an enrollment averaging five hundred. It is
located in Decatur, Georgia, a residential area adjacent to
the city of Atlanta.
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 institution. It was
chartered as Agnes Scott College in 1906. At the same time,
Agnes Scott Academy was organized and offered prepara-
tory work until its discontinuance in 1913,
Purpose
The purpose which has prevailed at Agnes Scott since
its founding has been to offer the best possible educational
advantages under positive Christian influences. 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 students.
The College offers the Bachelor of Arts degree. Optional
courses leading to this degree give each student the oppor-
tunity to elect a course most in accord with her special talents
and plans.

Educational Affiliations 17
Financial Resources
The assets of the College amount to more than
$6,500,000, of which $2,766,000 is endowment.
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
American Association of University Women and of the
Southern University Conference.
Honor Societies
The College was granted a charter by the United Chap-
ters of Phi Beta Kappa in 1926. Elections are based pri-
marily on academic standing. In 1932 the College was
granted a chapter of Mortar Board, which emphasizes
service and leadership.
University Center
While Agnes Scott is a privately controlled liberal arts
college, it is also a part of a larger group of institutions
which form the University Center in Georgia. In the group
are Emory University, Georgia Institute of Technology,
the University of Georgia at Athens, Columbia Theological
Seminary, Atlanta Art Association, and Agnes Scott Col-
lege. Chief features of this cooperative program are reci-
procity in library services, exchange of instructors, admin-
istration of grants for research, and the avoidance of dupli-
cation and overlapping in certain areas of instruction.
ADMISSION OF STUDENTS
Agnes Scott has a resident student capacity of approxi-
mately three hundred and thirty. Total enrollment, includ-
ing resident and non-resident students, is approximately
five hundred. Because enrollment is limited, admission is
competitive and is based on the applicant's excellence of
preparation, general ability and interests, character, person-
ality, and health.
Applicants whose homes are not in the local community
must apply for admission as resident (boarding) students.
Exception may be made if they can live with close relatives.
Applicants whose homes are in the local community may
apply for admission as non-resident (day) 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. If applications
are filed in the fall, it is possible to give rather definite infor-
mation after the first semester grades are available. The
College sends for these grades.
If a student has tentative acceptance at the end of the
first semester and maintains a satisfactory standard of work
throughout the remainder of the year, there should be no
question regarding admission. This of course assumes satis-
factory aptitude tests and medical report.

Requirements
Agnes Scott believes that the preparatory school and the
college share in the responsibility for educating the indi-
vidual student and that an Important part of this responsi-
bility is the planning of a course which will facilitate the
transition from school to college and provide continuity in
the total program of study. The College does not attempt
to prescribe the secondary school curriculum; It does believe
that the subjects listed below provide the most adequate
preparation for the liberal arts program, and preference
will be given to applicants who present evidence of this prep-
aration.
1. Subjects. Candidates are admitted as freshmen upon
the presentation of sixteen acceptable units. One unit rep-
resents a year's study In a subject. The following are
strongly recommended :
English: four units
Algebra: two units (unless the requirement is met
in a shorter period)
Plane Geometry: one unit
Language: three units of Latin if a modern foreign language is not
offered, or two units of Latin plus two units of a modern
foreign language, or four units of modern foreign language.
Students who do not meet the recommended foreign language
requirement will be required to take an extra amount in college.
The extra language taken will count toward the degree.
Elective units may be presented in Bible, biology, botany,
chemistry, French, general science, geography, German,
Greek, history (Including civics and social science), Latin,
mathematics, music (theory and literature), physics, Span-
ish, zoology. See section on Entrance Subjects for more
complete descriptions.
20 Agnes Scott College
Credit will not be given for less than two units in any one
foreign language; and not more than four units will be
accepted in any one subject. One vocational or semi-voca-
tional unit may be offered, or two in exceptional cases.
2. Admission by Certificate. Applicants who complete
preparatory work in schools accredited by their regional as-
sociation will be admitted by certificate from these schools.
Their certificates must indicate satisfactory completion of
entrance requirements not more than two years prior to the
filing of the application for admission.
Procedure
1. Formal Application. The admission form will be fur-
nished on request. It is recommended that the resident
student application 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 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 insufficient or unless the College finds it impos-
sible to admit her.
Non-resident students are advised to apply not later than
the spring preceding entrance in September. No registration
fee is required.
2. Secondary School Certificate. Prospective applicants
are urged to have sent during the junior year a preliminary
statement of courses taken and grades made. Certificate
form provided by the College should be used. This will
enable the College to evaluate credits and offer advice on
subsequent preparation. It does not obligate the student
to apply for admission.
Prior to, or at the time of filing the application for
admission, the student should request the preparatory school
i
Admission of Students 21
to submit a transcript of courses and grades to date. Cer-
tificate blank provided by the College Is to be used. No
Information regarding admission can be given until this
record has been sent to the Registrar.
The College will secure from the preparatory school
a statement of first semester and final grades.
3. Scholastic Aptitude Tests. Either the College Entrance
Examination Board scholastic aptitude test or the Agnes
Scott tests (scholastic aptitude and English) must be taken.
Instructions regarding the Agnes Scott tests will be sent to
applicants during the early part of the year. Information
about the College Entrance Examination Board test may be
secured by writing to the Board at Box 592, Princeton, New
Jersey.
4. Medical Report. Blanks will be forwarded during
the summer preceding entrance. The report should be re-
turned promptly to the college physician. It will not be
acknowledged by the physician unless some problem Is pre-
sented.
5. Assignment of Room. Rooms are assigned by the
Dean of Students. Applicants admitted with an early reg-
istration have a better choice of rooms than those who regis-
ter late. Special requests regarding rooms or roommates
should be filed very early.
Description of Entrance Subjects

should consult the Registrar as early as possible.
24 Agnes Scott College
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.
Applicants who have not been in school for a period of
two years or more will be classified as special students until
credits are established by the quality of their work at Agnes
Scott.
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 classification. 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 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.
A student who fails to register before attending classes
after the Christmas vacation Is subject to the penalty of an
unexcused absence in each class attended.
Selection of Courses
Students are expected to make themselves thoroughly
familiar with the plan of the curriculum and to arrange
their courses to conform with its requirements.
During the summer, students entering as freshmen indi-
cate tentative 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 Courses
for Freshmen. At time of entrance In September, fresh-
men 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 session. These course cards are approved or revised
by the Committee on Courses for Upper Classmen. At the
time of classification in September, the cards are obtained
from the Committee and presented to instructors for slgna-
25
26 Agnes Scott College
ture at the first meeting of each class. They are then re-
turned to the Registrar's office.
A course of study which has been approved cannot be
changed without the permission of the proper committee.
Freshmen will consult the Committee on Courses for Fresh-
men. Sophomores, juniors, and seniors will consult the
Committee on Courses for Upper Classmen.
All students must be definitely classified within two weeks
after their arrival at college.
Class Attendance
Attendance at all academic appointments is required of
freshmen during the first and second quarters, and of
students on the ineligible list, and of students who for any
reason are on probation. It is expected that other students
will keep all academic appointments and will not be absent
without just cause. The responsibility for any work missed
because of absence rests entirely upon the student.
Attendance at tests announced a week in advance is man-
datory. Attendance is required the day before and the day
after a holiday.
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-examina-
tion 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
Administration of the Curriculum 27
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.
The quarter hour is mathematically equivalent to two-
thirds of a semester hour.
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 Courses for
Freshmen 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 permit-
ted to carry the maximum number unless they earned grades
of C or above in at least two-fifths of their work for the
preceding session. Fourth-year students will not be per-
mitted to carry the maximum number unless they earned
grades of C or above in at least one-half of their work for
the preceding session.
Grading System
Grades indicating the student's standing in any course are
28 Agnes Scott College
officially recorded as follows: A, excellent attainment; B,
good attainment; C, average attainment; D, passable at-
tainment; E, failure with privilege of re-examination; F,
failure without privilege of re-examination.
For a statement of the grade requirements for class
standing and for graduation, see section on Classification of
Students and Requirements for the Degree.
Honors Program
Seniors who are qualified on the basis of their general
college records may be admitted to an honors program.
This program involves concentrated study in the major field
and culminates in a thesis and in oral and written examina-
tions. 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 general academic records are outstanding may, on the
recommendation 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 very exceptional may be rec-
ommended 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.
Administration of the Curriculum 29
Summer work will not be credited toward the degree
unless the student makes a grade of C or above.
A student who attends summer sessions in order to accel-
erate 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 col-
lege or by vote of the faculty may be put on probation for
j the remainder of the year. If by the end of the session she
I has failed to earn at least twenty-two quarter hours of
degree credit in academic work she is automatically excluded
I for the next year.
i A student who fails for two successive years to meet the
i requirements for advancement to the next higher class is
automatically excluded.
i A student whose continuance in college may involve dan-
ger to her own health or to that of others may be asked to
I withdraw.
A student who is not in sympathy with the ideals and
standards of the College or who is not mature enough for
I 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 Student Organizations and publications occupy an
important place in the life of the college community. They
are supported in part by a fee of $20.00 which, at the re-
quest of the students, Is included under the general college
expenses. This amount Is distributed for use by the follow-
ing: Student Government Association, Christian Associa-
tion, Athletic Association, the Student Handbook, 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
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 includes all
students.
Agnes Scott Christian Association develops the spiritual ;
life of the students and cooperates with other student asso- i
ciations in general Christian work. Most of the student ]
body are members. \
Athletic Association cooperates with the department of
physical education in the management of sports and spon-
sors inter-class games, tournaments, swimming meets,
and general recreational activities. Individual interests
and skills are developed through various sports clubs.

100
Community Activities 101
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 and mailed to new students during the
summer preceding admission.
j Clubs directed by students or by students and faculty
I together provide opportunity for development of special
I interests and talents. Membership in most of these is open
j by try-out. They include language and Bible clubs, Inter-
i national Relations Club, Pi Alpha Phi debating society,
I Blackfriars dramatic club, glee club, art students' league,
I cotillion club, and several literary groups. The classics and
I science organizations, Eta Sigma Phi and Chi Beta Phi, are
I national honorary societies.

I Every effort is made to promote earnest and pronounced
'{religious life in the college. Students are asked 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 re-
jligious services include Sunday evening vespers conducted
|by Christian Association and the tri-weekly vesper services
jled by members of the faculty.
I Health Service
i The student health service is under the direction of a
jphysician who is on call at all times in case of emergency.
iHe IS assisted by two registered nurses who live in the
nfirmary.
102 Agnes Scott College
Each new student is required to submit a certificate of
examination by her private physician, a certificate of success-
ful vaccination within six years, and a medical history report.
Blanks for this information are forwarded during the
summer and must be returned to the college physician by
September 1.
Each new student is urged to have ophthalmological and
dental examinations during the summer preceding admis-
sion.
Each student has a 35 mm X-ray of chest made durmg
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, 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. 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 paid by resident
students 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 an)
time upon request.
The College reserves the right, if the parents or guard
ians cannot be reached, to make decisions concerning emer
gency health problems.
Community Activities 103
Counseling
While each student is encouraged to be increasingly self-
reliant in college and community life, the College realizes
the value of advisory assistance in developing individual
interests and ability. Academic counseling is done by the
Dean of the Faculty, the major professors, and designated
members of the faculty.
General counseling of students, particularly in relation
to non-academic matters and social and extra-curricular
activities, is centered in the office of the Dean of Students.
All of the counseling services described above are avail-
able for boarding and day students alike. In addition, for
non-resident students there is a special adviser 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 pros-
pective employers on request. There is no charge for the
service.
Seniors are urged to consult the Dean of the Faculty
for vocational information.
