Associate Resident Nurse 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. 16 University Center 17 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. 34 Art 35 Art Professor Warren Assistant Professor Huper The objective of the Department of Art is to give train- ing in appreciation, to help students form standards of taste, and to promote culture in the entire community.

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.

There is no charge for the first transcript, but a charge of $1.00 is made for each additional copy unless the record is being sent to a state department of education. The College does not provide room and board for resi- dent students during the Christmas vacation. The dining hall and dormitories are closed at this time. The College exercises every precaution to protect prop- erty of students, but will not be responsible for any losses that may occur. It is understood that upon the entrance of a student her parent or guardian accepts as final and binding the terms and regulations outlined in the catalogue. Personal Accounts Money may be deposited in the college bank to the account of a student and is payable on her checks. No account other than the cancelled checks is kept. Books and supplies may be purchased for cash in the bookstore. The College suggests that about $60.00 or $70.00 be brought for this purpose. In cases of prolonged illness or contagious diseases, stu- dents must provide a nurse at their expense and must pay for medicines and for consultations. SCHOLARSHIP AND SPECIAL ENDOWMENT FUNDS Scholarship and Loan Program 1. Honor Scholarships. The College awards the fol- lowing scholarships to high school seniors: two of $1,200 each, divided over a four-year period; three of $600, for one year; several ranging from $100 to $300, for one year. Students from all sections of the United States may apply for these awards. In addition, a maximum of five one-year scholarships of $300 each are available for high school seniors from the local area (the cities of Atlanta and Decatur and the counties of Fulton and DeKalb). All of the above scholarships are awarded on a competi- tive basis. Apphcations and instructions may be secured after November 1 from the Director of Admissions and must be completed by March 10. Announcements are made in late April or early May.

Such scholarships are not applied for by the students themselves. 2. Student Work Program. Certain endowed funds pro- duce income which is used to assist students of ability and need. These funds are listed in the catalogue as special memorials or under the name of a donor. Applications for such aid may be secured in the spring from the Dean of Students' office or, in the case of new students, from the Director of Admissions. All recipients of aid on this basis are expected to render some service in return. The amount of time required varies from three to ten hours per week, depending upon the amount of aid received.

Director of Alumnae Affairs Mary Chapman^ B.A Office Manager 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.
