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. THE BACHELOR OF ARTS DEGREE Requirements for the Degree Candidates for the B.A. degree must present one hundred eighty quarter hours of academic work of which half must be of grade C or above. This grade (C or above) must be made in not less than forty-eight quarter hours in the junior and senior years, and in not less than twenty-one hours in either of these years. In addition to the academic hours, six quarter hours In physical education must be presented, representing two years of work. Special arrangements will be made for stu- dents entering with advanced standing credit. Certain courses are required, as listed below, and others are elective. The program of work for each student must be approved by the Committee on Courses for Freshmen or the Committee on Courses for Upper Classmen and may not be changed without the permission of the Committee. Required Courses A. Specific requirements: English 101 9 quarter hours Bible 101 or 201 9 quarter hours B. Group requirements, with options: Group 1. a.

' The specific and group requirements for the degree must be completed by the end of the sophomore year with such exceptions as the Committee on Courses for Upper Class- men permits. No student shall be classified as a regular freshman unless she is taking English 101 and one course from each of groups 1 and 2. Additional work in English composition may be required of any student who gives evidence of inability to write cor- rectly, even though English 101 may have been passed. Major and Related Hours The major and related hours must be planned by each student in the spring quarter of the sophomore year and approved by the department concerned. Work in the major subject must be continued throughout the junior and senior years, with such exceptions as may be permitted by the major professor and the Committee on Courses for Upper Classmen. The major shall consist of from thirty-six to forty-eight quarter hours in one subject, including the basic course,! and of a minimum of nine quarter hours in closely re-| lated fields. An exception may be made in the depart- ments of Art, Music, History and Political Science, and Economics and Sociology, where the major may consist ofj I Degree Requirements 31 fifty-seven hours without related work in another depart- ment. Exception may also be made in the department of Chemistry for students who wish to meet the requirements of the American Chemical Society. Total hours controlled by the major department must not exceed fifty-seven. At least twenty-seven hours in the major subject must be taken in the junior and senior years, and at least eighteen of the twenty-seven hours must be completed with a grade of C or above. While credit in the major subject is limited to forty-eight quarter hours, courses which are not counted in the major (Music 101, Physics 120, for example) may bring the total number of hours in the major department to a maximum of sixty-three hours. The nine hours' credit of the honors program is not sub- ject to the above limitation. 1 Major work is offered in the following subjects: Art, Bible, Biology, Chemistry, Economics and Sociology, Eng- lish, French, German, Greek, History, History and Political Science, Latin, Mathematics, Music, Philosophy, Physics, Psychology, and Spanish. Through an agreement with Em- ory University, major work is offered in Business Economics and Journalism. Interdepartmental majors are offered in Classics and Science. The interdepartmental major in Science consists of the following courses: Biology 101, 207, 401; Chemistry 101, 205; Physics 101; and nine additional hours. Chemistry 201 and 203 are recommended for these additional hours. This major is primarily for pre-medical students and for students planning to teach science in secondary schools. Any variation from this major must be approved by the department of primary interest. 32 Agnes Scott College Limitation of Courses Not more than two courses, or a total of ten quarter hours, may be taken under any one instructor in any given quarter. Not more than twenty-five hours may be taken in one subject in any one session, and not more than sixty-three hours in one department may be presented for the degree. If more than sixty-three hours are elected in one depart- ment, they must be in excess of the one hundred eighty re- quired for the degree. 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. 3. Astronomy, mathematics, and/or a laboratory science (choice of general biology, chemistry, physics). If physics is taken, mathematics must also be elected; if chemistry is taken, mathematics is strongly advised. In addition to the above requirements, freshmen will take one or two courses with the advice of the Committee on Courses for Freshmen. 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 sophomore year. In this field History 101 and Classical Civilization 150 are open to first-year students. Elective courses in art, Bible, foreign languages, music, and speech are also available.
