AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE
History and Purpose
Agnes Scott is a privately endowed college for women
located at Decatur, Georgia, in the metropolitan Atlanta
area. It has a student body averaging five hundred and
fifty and a four-year program of study leading 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 has al-
ways had a close relationship to that church. The Col-
lege 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.

Financial Resources
The College has a campus of sixty acres and forty-eight
buildings. Its assets amount to more than $12,000,000, of
which $7,500,000 is in endowment.
Educational Recognition
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 and in 1926 it
was granted a charter by the United Chapters of Phi Beta
Kappa. It was a charter member of the American Associa-
tion of University Women and of the Southern Univer-
sity Conference.
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 four hundred and eighty. Total enrollment, includ-
ing resident and non-resident students, averages five hundred
and fifty. 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 com-
munity may apply for admission as non-resident (day)
students.
Correspondence regarding admission should be addressed
to the Director of Admissions.
Admission to the Freshman Class
In determining admission, the College considers the can-
didate's academic preparation, general ability and interests,
character, personality, and health. Criteria for judging
admission qualifications include the secondary school record
with statement of graduation and rank in class, scholastic
aptitude test results, principal's recommendation, health re-
port, and additional personal data and recommendations
which the College secures.
1. Academic Preparation. Agnes Scott believes that
courses taken in secondary school should be relevant to
courses offered in college in order to provide continuity
in the total program of study. Skill in English composition,
ability to read with comprehension, some competence in at
least one foreign language, and some understanding of
scientific principles and methods are important in prepara-
tion for the program here; preference will be given to
applicants who present evidence of this preparation.
Candidates must present sixteen units for admission and
18
Admission of Students 19
are expected to take a minimum of four academic subjects
each year in high school. The following subjects are
strongly recommended or required:
English: four units (required)
Algebra: two units (including intermediate algebra, if possible;
this requirement is sometimes completed in less than two units.)
Plane Geometry: one unit (required)
Foreign Language: three units in one language (preferably Latin),
or two units in each of two languages. No credit for a single
unit in one language. Under no circumstances is a student ad-
mitted without a minimum of two units in one foreign language ;
if admitted with this minimum, she will take in college a
minimum of two years (18 quarter hours) in one foreign
language.
Elective units may be presented in art history and appre-
ciation, Bible, biology, botany, chemistry, French, general
science, geography, German, Greek, history (including civics
and other social studies), Latin, mathematics (advanced
algebra, trigonometry, solid geometry), music (theory, his-
tory, appreciation), physics, Spanish, zoology. Applicants
desiring entrance credit in art, Bible, or music should sub-
mit an outline of such courses to the Office of Admissions.
Credit will not be given for more than four units in any
one subject. One vocational or semi-vocational unit (e.g.,
home economics) may be offered, or two in exceptional
cases. No credit is given for physical education, glee club,
band, and other extra-curricular activities.
2. Filing of Application. Early application is advised.
The application for admission form will be furnished on
request and may be filed on or after October 15 of the year
preceding admission. The resident student application must
be accompanied by a registration fee of $50.00 and the
non-resident application by a fee of $10.00. If the appli-
cation is accepted, the fee is credited on the September pay-
ment. The fee 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 in-
20 Agnes Scott College
sufficient or unless the College finds it impossible to admit
her.
3. Secondary School Transcript of Record. Prior to, or
at the time of filing the application for admission, the stu-
dent should request the high school to submit a transcript
of courses and grades to date. Certificate 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.
If the candidate's transcript of record is filed prior to the
end of the first semester, the College will send her a form
on which she may enter her first semester grades ; the high
school is not asked to furnish this information. At the end
of the school year the College will secure from the high
school an official report of senior grades and statement of
graduation.
It is advisable that prospective applicants send during
the junior year, or earlier, an informal statement of courses
taken and grades made. A form for the purpose may be
obtained from the Admissions Office. The sending of this
information will enable the Office to evaluate credits and
offer advice on subsequent preparation. The student is
under no obligation to apply for admission.
4. Scholastic Aptitude Test. All applicants must take
the Scholastic Aptitude Test (morning program verbal
and mathematical section) of the College Entrance Exam-
ination Board. No special preparation is required for the
test; and scores made are only one of several items con-
sidered in measuring the candidate's ability and academic
preparation. Applicants must take the Scholastic Aptitude
Test during the senior year in secondary school, preferably
the December or January series. The March series is ac-
ceptable; and the May series is permissible for non-resident
applicants.
High school juniors who are interested in this college
Admission of Students 21
are urged to take the preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test
In May and to have the results forwarded to Agnes Scott.
Application form and bulletin of information (Including
descriptions of tests, dates for filing applications, and lists
of examination centers) are to be secured from the appli-
cant's high school or from the College Entrance Examina-
tion Board, Box 592, Princeton, New Jersey (candidates
who live in western states will write to the Board at Box
9896, Los Fellz Station, Los Angeles 27, California).
When ordering the application form, the student must In-
dicate the month In which she plans to take the test.
The Board has set the following examination dates for
the remainder of the academic year 1955-1956: March 17,
May 19, August 8. Dates for the 1956-1957 series are
December 1, 1956; January 12, March 16, May 18,
August 14, 1957. Application forms for the December tests
will be available In the early fall; those for the January
tests about November 1 ; and those for the March series
about January 9 ; forms for the May and August series
will be available immediately after the preceding series
has been held.
The completed application form should reach the Board
several weeks prior to the testing date; exact dates are
given in the bulletin of information. A fee of $6.00 Is
charged for the Scholastic Aptitude Test and must accom-
pany the application.
The College Entrance Examination Board has established
testing centers In principal cities of each state and will estab-
lish special centers for the convenience of candidates who
would otherwise have to travel more than seventy-five
miles. Request for a special center should be filed at least
five weeks before the testing date.
5. Achievement and Advanced Placement Tests. The
Achievement Tests of the College Entrance Examination
Board are recommended primarily for placement purposes.
22 Agnes Scott College
The tests should be taken in March of the senior year and
should include English Composition, foreign language, and
one of the following: social studies, science, mathematics
(intermediate or advanced).
Candidates who wish to be admitted to more advanced
courses than those offered in the regular freshman program
may write to the College Entrance Examination Board for
information about Advanced Placement Tests. Registra-
tion for the tests begins February 15, 1956, and closes
April 2. Tests will be given during the week of May 7.
6. Acceptance of Application. Absolute promise of ac-
ceptance cannot be given until complete records are filed
in the Office of Admissions. This is usually the middle or
latter part of June. If the candidate's transcript of record,
application form, and preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test
results are filed during the fall of the senior year, the
Admissions Office may be able to give rather promptly
some assurance of acceptance. This assurance is based on
grades earned through the junior year, scores made on the
Scholastic Aptitude Test taken in the junior year, courses
in progress, and letters of recommendation. More defi-
nite information regarding admission can be given after
first semester grades and senior year Scholastic Aptitude
Test results are available. If an applicant who has been
given tentative acceptance maintains a satisfactory standard
of work throughout the remainder of the term and presents
a satisfactory medical report, there should be no problem
regarding final acceptance.
7. 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.
8. Assignment of Rooms and Roommates. Rooms and
roommates are assigned by the Dean of Students and her
staff in late August and early September. Information
Admission of Students 23
about assignments Is not available until the student arrives
in September. However, special requests regarding rooms
or roommates may be filed with the Admissions Office for
referral to the Dean of Students. Such requests will be
honored if possible. In general, assignments are made ac-
cording to the date that dormitory space is reserved. Every
effort is made to place together students who will be con-
genial.
9. Visits to the College. Personal interviews are desir-
able. Appointment should be made in advance in order that
the candidate may talk with a member of the admissions
staff and have the opportunity of seeing the campus with
a guide. If a visit cannot be made to the College, it is
possible that an interview can be arranged in or near the
applicant's home or school.
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, a statement of honorable
dismissal, and the results of the Scholastic Aptitude Test
of the College Entrance Examination Board. 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. All credits are tentative and dependent on
satisfactory work at Agnes Scott.
Candidates for the degree must complete the work of the
junior and senior years in this college.
ADMINISTRATION OF THE
CURRICULUM
Registration
Students are required to register at the beginning of the
fall and winter quarters.
Students reporting for admission in the fall 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 first to the Treasurer. A student
who fails to complete her registration during the announced
registration period is charged a fee of $5.00.
Each student is required to register before attending
her first class in the winter quarter. A student who returns
from Christmas vacation in time to attend her first class,
but who fails to register before doing so, is subject to the
penalty of an unexcused absence in each class attended
before registration.
A student returning late from Christmas vacation is
subject to the penalty of a $5.00 late registration fee unless
her absence is excused by the Committee on Absences. If
the absence is not excused, the student loses the privilege of
voluntary class attendance for the winter quarter or, if she
is already ineligible for the privilege of voluntary class
attendance, is subject to the unexcused absence penalty
imposed on students who are on the excuse system.
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.
24
Administration of the Curriculum 25
In April of each year, 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 signa-
ture at the first meeting of each class. They are then re-
turned to the Registrar's office.
During the summer, students entering as freshmen indi-
cate tentative course selection on forms provided by the
College. These forms are returned to the Admissions 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.
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.
r
Limitation of Hours and Courses
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 thirteen
hours.
26 Agnes Scott College
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.
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.
(See statement under Major and Related Hours.)
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.
Students will not be permitted to audit courses unless
they have written permission from the Dean of the Faculty.
Such permission is given in a limited number of cases; the
student's previous academic record, the number of credit
hours being carried, and the recommendation of the major
department are factors considered.
Course Changes
A course of study which has been approved cannot be
changed without the permission of the appropriate course
committee. No new course may be elected after the first
ten days of a quarter. No course may be dropped after
November 15 for the fall quarter, February 15 for the
winter quarter, or April 15 for the spring quarter. Excep-
tion may be made only with the permission of the appro-
priate course committee and the Dean of the Faculty.
Administration of the Curriculum 27
Class Attendance
Attendance at all academic appointments is required of
freshmen during the first and second quarters, of stu-
dents 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
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.
28 Agnes Scott College
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.
Automatic Exclusion
A student whose work is very 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-
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
Agnes Scott College confers the degree of Bachelor of
Arts. A plan of distribution and concentration is followed,
with major work selected at the end of the sophomore
year. Candidates for the 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 by third and fourth year students to fulfill this grade
requirement.
Candidates for the degree must complete the work of the
junior and senior years in this college.
Required Courses
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.
A. Specific requirements :
English 101 9 quarter hours
Bible 101 or 201 9 quarter hours
Physical Education, 3 periods a week during the first 6 quarters
of residence
B. Group requirements, with options :
Group 1. a. Foreign Language 9 or 18 quarter hours
Latin, Greek, French, German, Spanish. A language
based on two or more high school units may be continued
29
30 Agnes Scott College
for a minimum of one year (9 hours), or a new language
may be taken for a minimum of two years (18 hours).
Students admitted with only two units in one foreign lan-
guage are required to take a minimum of two years (18
hours) in one language in college (see section on
Admission).
b. Literature 9 quarter hours
Choice of a literature course in English (English 211)
or a literature course in a foreign language. If a literature
course in foreign language is used to satisfy this require-
ment, it must be a course beyond the intermediate level
and it cannot be in the language used to satisfy requirement
a in this group.
Group 2. Science and Mathematics 21 quarter hours
Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Astronomy, Mathematics.
The equivalent of a year course must be completed in each
of two departments. One course (12 hours) must be in a
laboratory science.
Group 3. a. Choice of History 101 or 215, Classics 150, Philos-
ophy 201 9 quarter hours
b. Choice of Economics 201, Political Science 201 (unless
History is offered under a), Psychology 201, Sociology
203-205 9 quarter hours
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.
Freshman Program
Freshmen will make a tentative selection of courses
during the summer preceding admission. Full instructions
will be sent from the Admissions Office.
Degree Requirements 31
The freshman course of study usually includes five aca-
demic subjects and physical education. The following
courses must be elected, with the options indicated above :
English 101; a foreign language; a science and/or mathe-
matics. Since two courses in Group 3 are required for the
degree, it is generally advisable to take one in the fresh-
man year; in this field, History 101 and Classics 150 are
open to first-year students. Courses in art, Bible, music,
and speech are also available.
Placement tests will be given freshmen who plan to take
mathematics and/or continue their secondary school lan-
guage in college. See also information about College En-
trance Examination Board Achievement Tests and Ad-
vanced Placement Tests.
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.
The major department shall control a minimum of fifty-
one quarter hours and a maximum of sixty. The hours
shall be distributed as follows: thirty-six to fifty-one
quarter hours in one subject, including the basic course,
and nine to twenty-four quarter hours in closely related
fields, with a minimum of nine in one department. An ex-
ception may be made in the departments of Art, Music,
History and Political Science, and Economics and Sociology,
where the major may consist of fifty-one to sixty 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.
The limitation upon the number of hours in the major
subject does not apply in the case of courses which may not
be counted in the major (Music 101, elementary modern
32 Agnes Scott College
language, for example). However, no more than sixty-three
hours may be taken in the major department unless the
excess hours represent work beyond the one hundred eighty
hours required for the degree.
The independent study program is not included in any
of the above limitations.
Unless specifically excused by the major department and
the Committee on Courses for Upper Classmen, the stu-
dent must continue her major subject throughout the junior
and senior years and must take at least twenty-seven hours
in the major subject during these years. A minimum of
eighteen of the twenty-seven hours must be completed with
a grade of C or above.
Major work is offered in the following subjects: Art,
Bible, Biology, Chemistry, Classics, Economics, Economics
and Sociology, English, French, German, Greek, History,
History and Political Science, Latin, Mathematics, Music,
Philosophy, Physics, Psychology, Sociology, and Spanish.
Through an agreement with Emory University, major work
is offered in Business Economics.
An interdepartmental major is offered in Science. This
major is primarily for premedical students and for students
planning to teach science in secondary school. The major
for students interested in medicine or medical technology
should consist of: Biology 101, 304, 305, 306; Chemistry
101, 201, 203, 205, 207; Physics 101. For those who plan
to teach science the major shall consist of approximately the
same total number of hours, but courses may be varied
with the approval of the department of primary interest.
Program of Independent Study
Seniors who are qualified on the basis of their general
college records may be invited to participate in a program
of independent study involving concentrated work in the
Degree Requirements 33
major field. Through such a program the College believes
that intellectual values not possible in the routine plan of
courses may be achieved.
The program may be offered for one, two, or three
quarters and for credit of three or five quarter hours, with
a maximum total credit of ten quarter hours. The course
number in each department is 490.
Summer Courses
Students may attend accredited senior college 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 nature of the courses chosen, and upon the
length of the summer session. Under no circumstances will
more than fifteen quarter hours be approved.
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) completed In residence.
COURSES OF INSTRUCTION
1956-1957
Courses numbered 101 to 199 are open primarily to fresh-
men and sophomores; Courses 201 to 299 to sophomores
and juniors; Courses 301 to 399 to juniors and seniors; and
Courses 401 to 499 to seniors only. Courses open to lower
classes are also open to upper classes unless stated to the
contrary.
Fall quarter courses are designated by a, winter quarter
courses by b, spring quarter courses by c. Numbers with
hyphenated letters indicate courses extending through two
quarters. Numbers without letters indicate courses extend-
ing throughout the year. No credit is given for a course
until the entire course is completed.
Program of Independent Study
In each department offering a program of independent
study, the course number 490 is used. The program may
be offered for three or five hours per quarter, with a maxi-
mum total credit of 10 quarter hours. Seniors may elect
this program on invitation.
Emory University Courses
Under a cooperative agreement, upperclassmen may take
courses at Emory University. Permission for such courses
must be secured from the Chairman of the Course Com-
mittee and is generally limited to courses not offered at
Agnes Scott.

The Department of Education does not offer a major. Teacher edu-
cation at Agnes Scott is a college-wide enterprise, and the Department
of Education exists only as one of many departments that contribute to
the future teacher's curriculum. In order to provide the strongest faculty
possible and to enrich course offerings, Agnes Scott College and Emory
University cooperate in sponsoring the Agnes Scott-Emory Teacher Edu-
cation Program. Programs in the various teaching fields are planned
by the Committee on Teacher Education representing both institutions.
Copies of planned programs are available from the Director of Teacher
Education, who is responsible for coordinating resources on both cam-
puses.

2. Completion of Education 301, 303, 304, 401E, 402, and 404;
3. Completion of thirty quarter hours in work designated as "special
fields for elementary-school teachers." A minimum of fifteen of these
hours must be selected from art (some studio work recommended),
music (340a recommended), and physical education (recreational lead-
ership required). The remaining hours are to be selected from the fol-
lowing: Biology 101 (five of these hours count towards the required

Psychology 201 in the sophomore year. Upon successful completion of
a planned program at graduation, students fill out an application blank
and are approved automatically for certification to teach in Georgia.
Out-of-state students should present certification requirements for their
respective states at the time of projecting programs in order that proper
guidance may be given.

COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES
Extra-Curricular Program
The Student Organizations and publications occupy an
important place in the life of the college community. They
are supported in part by a comprehensive fee charged each
student. This appropriation is distributed among the fol-
lowing : Student Government Association, Athletic Associa-
tion, the Student Handbook, Mortar Board, Pi Alpha
Phi, Lecture Association, Blackfriars, May Day Committee
and Dance Group, Social Committee, National Student As-
sociation, 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 campus life. Its membership in-
cludes 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.
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.
Lecture Association, an organization of students and
faculty, brings lecturers to the college community.
Publications include the "Aurora," a quarterly literary
magazine; the "Silhouette," the student yearbook; the
"Agnes Scott News," the campus weekly; and "The Stu-
106
Community Activities 107
dent Handbook," a manual of information issued annually
by the student associations and mailed to new students
during the summer preceding admission.
Clubs directed by students or by students and faculty
together provide opportunity for development of special
interests and talents. Membership in most of these is open
by try-out. They include language and Bible clubs, Pi Alpha
Phi debating society, Blackfriars dramatic club, the Dance
Group, Glee Club, Guild Student Group (chartered by the
American Guild of Organists and sponsored by the Georgia
chapter). International Relations Club, Music Club (affil-
iated with the Georgia Federated Music clubs), Art Stu-
dents' League, Cotillion Club, and several creative writing
groups. National honor societies include Mortar Board
(service and leadership) ; Eta Sigma Phi (classics) ; and
Chi Beta Phi (science).
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 the students' religious
life. They are asked to select the church they desire to make
their church home and are encouraged to attend this church
regularly.
Devotional exercises are held in chapel every morning
except Monday. The Wednesday service is a College Con-
108 Agnes Scott College
vocation which all students are expected to attend. Al-
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 the
college physician and her staff.
Each new student is required to submit a certificate of
complete examination by her family physician, a certificate
of successful vaccination within six years, a report on a chest
X-ray made within sixty days of entrance to college, and a
complete medical history report. Blanks for this informa-
tion are forwarded during the summer and must be re-
turned to the college physician by September 1.
Each new student is urged to have ophthalmological and
dental examinations during the summer preceding admis-
sion.
The students' health needs are met as far as possible by
the medical department. The comprehensive fee charged
all students includes ordinary infirmary and office treat-
ment for resident students, and emergency treatment for
non-resident students. If there is need for such special
medication as antibiotics, hypodermic injections, vitamins,
prescriptions, X-rays, special diet, etc., 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.
Community Activities 109
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.

ALUMNAE ASSOCIATION

Eloise Hardeman Ketchin Hostess
Organized in 1895, the Alumnae Association of Agnes
Scott College has as its purpose the promotion of its mem-
bers' interest in the College and in liberal education. Its
work is done under the authority of an Executive Board
composed of officers, committee chairmen, and the presi-
dents of the four nearest alumnae clubs. Branches of the
Association, in the form of Agnes Scott alumnae clubs, are
active in thirty-five cities.
The Alumnae Association owns and operates the Anna
Young Alumnae House, which comprises the Association
offices, reception rooms, and guest rooms for alumnae
and other visitors. The Alumnae Office publishes The
Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly, conducts the Alumnae
Fund, and maintains files of information on more than
9,000 individual alumnae. Volunteer committees, under
the governance of the Executive Board, carry on services
including house and grounds improvement, planning of
special events and entertainments, presentation of an annual
career conference for students, correspondence with class
and club officers, and a continuing program to make alum-
nae an active force in American education.
Officers for 1955 are Mrs. Joseph C. Read, president;
Dr. Florence Brinkley, Mrs. G. Scott Candler, Jr., and Mrs.
C. Dixon Fowler, vice-presidents; Mrs. Stuart W. Bolen,
secretary; and Mrs. D. A. Lackey, treasurer.
