AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE History and Purpose Agnes Scott is an independent undergraduate college for women located at Decatur, Georgia, In the metropolitan Atlanta area. It offers a four-year program of study lead- ing to the Bachelor of Arts degree. The College was founded In 1889 as Decatur Female Seminary, renamed Agnes Scott Institute In 1890 In honor of the mother of the founder, Colonel George W. Scott, and chartered as Agnes Scott College In 1906. Its three presidents have been Frank Henry Gaines (1889-1923); James Ross McCain (1923-1951) ; and Wallace McPher- son Alston (1951- ). Agnes Scott was founded by Presbyterians, and its moral standards and religious life conform as nearly as possible to those of that church. The College 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. A commitment to the liberal arts program. Insistence upon quality In education, and emphasis on the develop- ment of Christian character are foundation principles of the college. Strengthening these purposes are small classes, close faculty-student relationships, continuity of leadership, and a varied program of student activities. Participation In the University Center, a group of seven Institutions of higher learning In the Atlanta area, provides social and educational resources beyond the limits of the college campus. 16 Educational Affiliations 17 Financial Resources The assets of the College amount to more than $7,000,000, of which $2,878,000 is endowment. Educational Affiliations In 1907 Agnes Scott was admitted to membership in the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. In 1920 the College 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. p 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 sixty-five. Total enrollment, in- cluding resident and non-resident students, averages be- tween four hundred and seventy-five and ^ve hundred. Be- cause enrollment is limited, admission is competitive and is based on the applicant's excellence of preparation, general ability and interests, character, personality, 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 results, principal's recommendation, health report, and additional personal data and recommen- dations which the College secures. 18 I Admission of Students 19 Requirements Agnes Scott believes that the secondary 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 p Algebra: two units (unless the requirement is met in a shorter period) Plane Geometry : one unit Language: three units in one foreign language (preferably Latin), or two units in each of two foreign languages. A student who does 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. Under no cir- cumstances is a student admitted without a minimum of two units in one foreign language. 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. 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 (e.g., home economics) may be offered, or two in exceptional cases. 2. Admission by Certificate. Applicants who complete college preparatory work in schools accredited by their re- gional association will be admitted by certificate from these schools. Their certificates must indicate satisfactory com- pletion 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 (see page 107), preferably in New York exchange or postal money order. If the application is accepted, the registration 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 prepara- tion of the applicant is insufficient or unless the College finds it impossible 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 secondary 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 secondary school a statement of first semester and final grades. 3. Scholastic Aptitude Tests. All applicants must take a scholastic aptitude test during the senior year of prepara- tory work. They are advised to take the Scholastic Apti- tude Test of the College Entrance Examination Board; the Agnes Scott tests (scholastic aptitude and English) may be taken as an alternative. In some cases, Achieve- ment Tests of the College Entrance Examination Board are also prescribed. 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 academic year 1952-1953: December 6, 1952; Jan- uary 10, March 14, May 16, August 12, 1953. Dates for the 1953-1954 series are December 5, 1953; January 9, March 13, May 22, August 11, 1954. At time of re- questing application forms, candidates should state when they plan to take the test. They are urged to file the appli- cation forms at least five weeks before the test date. The December, January, or March series of the CEEB test is preferred; the Agnes Scott tests may be taken in February and at stated intervals thereafter. 4. Medical Report, Blanks will be forwarded during the summer preceding entrance. The report should be re- 22 Agnes Scott College 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. 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 secondary 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 Admission of Students 23 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. I 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 confirmation of 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 24 Administration of the Curriculum 25 ty 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 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 course committee. No new course may be elected after the first ten days of a quarter. No course may be dropped after November IS for the fall quarter, February 15 for the winter quarter, or April 15 for the spring quarter. Exception may be made only with the permission of the appropriate course com- mittee and the Dean of the Faculty. No course may be audited without the permission of the instructor and the course committee. 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 26 Agnes Scott College 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 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 first-year 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- Administration of the Curriculum 27 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 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. 28 Agnes Scott College 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. 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 Administration of the Curriculum 29 requirements for advancement to the next higher class is automatically excluded. A student whose continuance in college may involve dan- 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. Summer session work may not be used to fulfill this requirement. 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 appropriate Committee.

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 department shall control a minimum of fifty- four quarter hours and a maximum of fifty-seven. The hours shall be distributed as follows : thirty-six to forty- eight quarter hours in one subject, including the basic course, and nine to twenty-one quarter hours in closely related fields, with a minimum of nine in one department. An exception 32 Agnes Scott College may be made In the departments of Art, Music, History and Political Science, and Economics and Sociology, where the major may consist of fifty-four to fifty-seven hours with- out related work In another department. Exception may also be made In the department of Chemistry for students who wish to meet the requirements of the American Chem- ical Society. 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. Major work Is offered In the following subjects: Art, Bible, Biology, Chemistry, Economics, Economics and Sociology, English, French, German, Greek, History, His- tory and Political Science, Latin, Mathematics, Music, Philosophy, Physics, Psychology, Sociology, and Spanish.

Chemis- try 201 and 203 are recommended for these additional hours. This major Is primarily for premedical 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. Degree Requirements 33 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.

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 Group 3 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. 34 Agnes Scott College Classification of Students All candidates for the degree must be classified within the first two weeks of the opening of the session, in ac- cordance with the requirements outlined below.

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 Is organized to develop the spiritual life of the students and to cooperate with other student associations In general Christian work. Most of the student body are members.

Eta Sigma Phi and Chi Beta Phi, are national honorary societies. Art and Music One of Agnes Scott's major responsibilities In the Uni- versity Center Is the development of the Fine Arts. This the College seeks to do through Its program of instruction and through general contributions to the cultural life of the community. 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 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. The Wednesday service is a College Con- vocation which all students are expected to attend. Al- Community Activities 105 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 The student health service is under the direction of a physician who is on call at all times in case of emergency. She is assisted by two resident nurses who live in the infirmary. 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 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. 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. There is no special fee for ordinary infirmary and oflUce 106 Agnes Scott College treatment. If there is need for repeated or special medica- tion, 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 guard- ians cannot be reached, to make decisions concerning emer- gency health problems. 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. 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.
