AGNES SCOTT COLI^EGE

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 program of study most In accord with her
special talents and plans.

16

Educational Affiliations 17

Financial Resources

The assets of the College amount to more than
$7,000,000, of which $2,838,000 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, Oglethorpe University,
and Agnes Scott College. Chief features of this cooperative
program are reciprocity in library services, exchange of in-
structors, administration of grants for research, and the
avoidance of duplication 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 Office of Admissions. 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.

Correspondence regarding admission should be ad-
dressed to the Director of Admissions.

Admission to the Freshman Class

Criteria for judging admission qualifications include the
secondary school record with statement of graduation,
scholastic aptitude test score, English test score, principal's
recommendation, health report, and additional personal
data and recommendations which the College secures.

18

Admission of Students 19

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 art history, Bible,
biology, botany, chemistry, French, general science, geog-
raphy, German, Greek, history (including civics and social
science), Latin, mathematics (advanced algebra, trigonom-
etry, solid geometry), music (theory and literature), phys-
ics, Spanish, zoology. Applicants desiring entrance credit
in art, Bible, or music should submit an outline of such
courses to the Office of Admissions.

Credit will not be given for less than two units in any one

20 Agnes Scott College

foreign language; and not more than four units will be
accepted in any one subject. One vocational or semi-voca-
tional unit (e.g., Home Economics) 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. The student Is under no obligation
to apply for admission.

Admission of Students 21

Prior to, or at the time of filing the application for
admission, the student should request the preparatory school
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 Office of Admissions.

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.

Application forms and information about the College
Entrance Examination Board test may be secured by writing
to the Board at Box 592, Princeton, New Jersey. (Candi-
dates who live in western states will write to the Board
at Box 9896, Los Feliz Station, Los Angeles 27, Cali-
fornia.) The Board has set the following examination dates
for the 1951-52 series: December 1, 1951; January 12,
March 15, May 17, August 13, 1952. Dates for the 1952-
SZ series are December 6, 1952; January 10, March 14,
May 16, August 12, 1953. At time of requesting applica-
tion forms, candidates should state when they plan to take
the test. They are urged to file the application at least
five weeks before the test date.

An applicant who wishes to take the Agnes Scott tests
should so notify the Office of Admissions. Instructions re-
garding the tests will be sent during the early part of the
year.

1 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
1 acknowledged by the physician unless some problem is pre-
! sented.

i 5. Assignment of Room. Rooms are assigned by the
'Dean of Students. Applicants admitted with an early reg-

22 Agnes Scott College

istration have a better choice of rooms than those who regis-
ter late. Special requests regarding rooms or roommates
should be filed very early.

Admission to Advanced Standing

A limited number of students from other institutions may
be admitted each year to the sophomore and junior classes.
Each applicant must fulfill the requirements for admission to
the freshman class, using her transferred credits if necessary.
She must present transcripts of her preparatory school and
college records, a copy of the college catalogue with the
courses taken indicated, and a letter of honorable dismissal.
Because admission on this basis is limited, the College
advises only those students to apply who have made good
records and who have followed a course corresponding to
the Agnes Scott program.

Students considering a transfer from another college
should consult the Director of Admissions as early as pos-
sible.

Candidates for the degree must complete the work of the
junior and senior years in this college.

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.

Applicants who are admitted with credits from foreign
institutions will be classified as special students until their
credits are established by satisfactory work in this college.

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 thernselves 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

23

24 Agnes Scott College

time of classification in September, the cards are obtained
from the Committee and presented to instructors for signa-
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

Administration of the Curriculum 25

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
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-

26 Agnes Scott College

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
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 invited to participate in an honors
program. This program involves concentrated study in the
major field and culminates in a thesis and in oral and written
examinations. Through such a program the College believes
that intellectual values not possible in the routine plan of
courses may be achieved.

In each department the course number for the honors
program is 499, with credit of three hours for each quarter
of the senior year.

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.

Administration of the Curriculum 27

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 a grade higher than the passing
grade (for example, C when the passing grade is D).

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 (forty-five quar-
ter hours) done in residence.

Required Residence

Candidates for the degree must complete the work of the
junior and senior years in this college.

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
the remainder 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 academic work she is automatically excluded
for the next year.

A student who fails for two successive years to meet the
requirements for advancement to the next higher class is
automatically excluded.

A student whose continuance in college may involve dan-

28 Agnes Scott College

ger 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.

301 and 303 in the junior year and the 400 courses in the senior year.
Through a cooperative program with Emory University it is possible to
meet the certification requirements of the various states, provided that
careful planning is done early enough in the students' programs.
The director of teacher education in the two institutions will advise
students in regard to these requirements and assist in planning for
necessary courses. The head of the department also may be consulted
at any time.

the College seeks to do through its program of instruction
and through general contributions to the cultural life of
the comniunlty. Exhibitions of paintings, prints, crafts, and
other objects of art are held periodically in the College
Art Gallery; and throughout the year concerts are pre-
sented by the faculty of the music department and by artists
from the Atlanta area. All of these events are open to
the public without charge.

Religious Life

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. The Wednesday service is a College Con-
vocation which all students are expected to attend. Al-

102 Agnes Scott College

though attendance at other chapel services Is voluntary,
students are urged to be present regularly. Other religious
programs Include Sunday evening vespers conducted by
Christian Association and the tri-weekly vesper services led
by members of the faculty.

Health Service *

examination by her private physician, a certificate of success-
ful vaccination within six years, and a medical history report.

summer and must be returned to the college physician by
September 1.

Each new student Is urged to have ophthalmologlcal and
dental examinations during the summer preceding admis-
sion.

Each student has a 35 mm X-ray of chest made during |
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.

Typhoid Inoculations are given If desired, and other
personal needs are met as far as possible by the medical
department.

dental care in Atlanta. Consultants are called in at any
time upon request.

ians cannot be reached, to make decisions concerning emer-
gency health problems.

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.
