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
seventy-five to six hundred 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- 1
ment of Christian character are foundation principles of I
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 approximately $13,000,000,
of which $7,800,000 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 five hundred and twenty-five. Total enrollment, in-
cluding resident and non-resident students, averages five
hundred and seventy-five to six hundred. Applicants whose
homes are not in the local community must apply for admis-
sion 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.
Correspondence regarding admission should be addressed
to the Director of Admissions.
Admission to the Freshman Class
In determining admission, the Committee on Admissions
considers the candidate'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. College Entrance Examination Board test
results, principal's recommendation, health report, and ad-
ditional personal data and recommendations which the Col-
lege 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.
18
Admission of Students 19
Candidates for admission are expected to take a minimum
of four academic subjects each of the four years In second-
ary school. The following subjects are strongly recom-
mended or required:
English composition, grammar, and literature; four years required.
Mathematics: elementary and intermediate algebra, plane geome-
try; required.
Foreign language : three or four years in one foreign language
(preferably Latin), or two years in each of two foreign lan-
guages recommended. A minimum of two years in one foreign
language required. No entrance credit given for a single year
in a language.
Science: one or more laboratory sciences (biology, chemistry, or
physics) recommended.
History: one or more years (preferably European and United
States history) recommended.
Elective credits may be chosen from the foregoing sub-
jects. Credits may also be presented In art history and ap-
preciation; Bible; and music theory, history, and appreci-
ation.
No entrance credit Is given for physical education, glee
club, band, and other extra-curricular activities. While typ-
ing Is considered a helpful skill. It should not be offered as
one of the sixteen entrance credits.
2. Filing of Application. The application for admission
form will be furnished on request and may be filed on or
after October 15 of the candidate's senior year In secondary
school. The resident student application is to be accom-
panied by a registration fee of $50.00 and the non-resident
application by a fee of $10.00. If the application Is ac-
cepted, the fee Is credited on the September payment.
The fee will be refunded on request on or before May 30
of the year of entrance; after that date it will not be re-
funded unless the preparation of the applicant is insufficient
or unless the College finds It impossible to admit her.
Early application Is advised. The resident student appli-
cation should be filed before February 15 and the non-resi-
20 Agnes Scott College
dent before August 1. The Admissions Committee reserves
the right to decline to consider applications filed after these
dates.
A statement regarding admission procedure is mailed
with each application form and should be studied carefully
by the student.
3. Secondary School Transcript of Record. Prior to, or
at the time of filing the application for admission, the stu-
dent should request the secondary school to submit a tran-
script of courses and grades to date. Certificate blank pro-
vided by the College is to be used. No information regard-
ing admission can be given until this record has been sent
to the Office of Admissions.
If the candidate's transcript of record and application
are filed prior to the end of the first semester, the College
will send her a form on which she may enter her first semes-
ter grades; the high school is not asked to furnish this in-
formation. 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 and Achievement Tests. All ap-
plicants must take, during the senior year, the Scholastic
Aptitude Test and three Achievement Tests of the College
Entrance Examination Board. No special preparation is re-
quired; scores made are only one of several items consid-
ered in measuring the candidate's ability and academic prep-
aration. The January date is preferable for the Scholastic
Aptitude Test; the Achievement Tests are to be taken in
Admission of Students 21
March. Three Achievement Tests are required: the English
test and two other tests chosen from two different fields
(foreign language, social studies, science, and mathematics).
The candidate should write to the College Entrance Ex-
amination Board for a Bulletin of Information, which con-
tains an application blank, rules regarding applications, lists
of examination centers, and information about tests. The
address of the Board is Box 592, Princeton, New Jersey,
or (for candidates who live in w^estern states) Box 27896,
Los Angeles 27, California. The application should be com-
pleted and mailed to the Board, with the appropriate fee,
several weeks in advance of the testing date.
The Board has set the following examination dates for
the remainder of the academic year 1956-1957: March 16,
May 18 (primarily for secondary school juniors). Dates
for the 1957-1958 series are December 7, January 11, Feb-
ruary 8, March 15, May 17 (primarily for juniors).
Secondary school juniors who are interested in this col-
lege are urged to take the preliminary Scholastic Aptitude
Test in May and to have the results forwarded to Agnes
Scott.
5. Advanced Placement Tests. Candidates who wish to
be admitted to more advanced courses than those offered
in the regular freshman program may write to the College
Board Advanced Placement Examinations, Box 592, Prince-
ton, New Jersey, or Box 27896, Los Angeles 27, California.
Students should register for the examinations during Febru-
ary and March; the examinations will be given in May.
Candidates who have not had special preparation beyond
regular secondary school level work are advised not to reg-
ister for these examinations.
6. Acceptance of Application. Candidates are mailed ac-
ceptance letters in the spring. These letters assume the sat-
isfactory completion of courses in progress and a satisfac-
tory medical report.
22 Agnes Scott College
7. Medical Report. Forms for the medical report are
forwarded immediately after May 30 to accepted candi-
dates. The report has two parts one to be filled out by
the student and one by her physician. Both parts are to be
filled out in their entirety and returned by September 1 at
the latest.
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
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. Appointments at the College. Personal interviews are
desirable. Appointment should be made in advance in order
that the candidate may talk with a member of the admis-
sions staff and have the opportunity of seeing the campus
with a guide. If an appointment cannot be made at 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
Admission of Students 23
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
During the spring quarter 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 Up-
per Classmen. At the time of classification in September,
the cards are obtained from the Committee and presented
to instructors for signature at the first meeting of each
class. They are then returned 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 credit hours a week for fresh-
men is sixteen and the minimum fourteen. With the per-
mission of the Committee on Courses for Freshmen some
first-year students may carry only thirteen quarter hours.
26 Agnes Scott College
The maximum number of credit hours a week for sopho-
mores, juniors, and seniors is eighteen and the minimum
fourteen. Permission to carry eighteen hours is restricted
to students who have made a B average for the preceding
quarter; such permission is granted by the Committee on
Courses for Upper Classmen.
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 bet
changed without the permission of the appropriate course
committee. No new course may be elected after the firstj
ten days of a quarter. No course may be dropped afterj
November 15 for the fall quarter, February 15 for the!
winter quarter, or May 1 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
all freshmen during the first quarter and of those fresh-
men during the second quarter whose grade in any academic
subject is below C, of students on the ineligible list, and of
students who for any reason are on probation. It is expected
that other students will keep all academic appointments and
will not be absent without just cause. The responsibility
for any work missed because of absence rests entirely upon
the student.
Attendance at tests announced a week in advance Is man-
datory. Attendance is required the day before and the day
after a holiday.
Examinations
General examinations are held at the end of each quarter.
Attendance is required. A student absent from examination
because of illness may take the examination in question at
the regular time scheduled for re-examinations (see below).
A student absent without excuse from the Dean of Students
or the physician is automatically excluded from college.
Re-examinations are permitted in the case of conditional
failure. These examinations are given In the first week of
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.
Grades are evaluated by a quality point system : A = 3
quality points per quarter hour, B = 2, C = 1,D = 0.
For a statement of the grade and quality point requirements
for class standing and for graduation, see sections on Class-
ification 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 thirty 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

in 1957, one hundred eighty quality points must be earned.)
A grade of 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.

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.
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

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
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.
32 Agnes Scott College
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
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
Degree Requirements 33
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.
A student who attends summer sessions In order to accel-
erate her academic program must have her entire plan of
acceleration approved by the Dean of the Faculty.
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 for a single
summer session. Total summer session credits counted
toward the degree may not exceed thirty quarter hours.
In order to receive credit, the student must make a grade
higher than the passing grade (for example, C when the
passing grade Is D).

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.
Students planning to teach at the secondary level major in a teaching
field that is, one of the subjects normally taught at the high school
level such as English, history, mathematics. They include Education 301,
303, 401 S, 402, and 404 in their programs.
Students planning to teach at the elementary-school level must meet the
following requirements:
1. Completion of any major offered by the College;
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
thirty), Sociology 317, Speech (105, 201, or 308), Library Science 315
(Books and Related Materials for Children and Young People, offered
at Emory for three or five quarter hours of credit, spring quarter). His-
tory 215 (five of these hours count towards the required thirty) or
Political Scienc** 201 or Political Science 308.

Students who plan to teach should begin to plan programs early in
no case later than the end of the sophomore year. They must take
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.
Mr. Henderson and Miss Howell will advise students in regard to
requirements and assist in planning for necessary courses.
Note: Students planning to do graduate work in Speech Correction
at Emory University are urged to major in psychology (including Psy-
chology 214, Physiological Psychology, available at Emory University),
and to meet requirements for elementary-school teaching. Tuition grants
are available to qualified students seeking to enter this graduate field.

was erected in 1930 through the support of the General
Education Board of New York and is named in honor of
Dr. Wallace Buttrick, former president of the Board. It
contains administrative and faculty offices, classrooms, the
art studios and gallery, day student lounge, and the college
post office, bookstore, and bank.

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, International Relations Club, Glee Club, the lit-
erary 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-
108
Community Activities 109
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 Atlanta
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-
110 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 certificate of
prophylactic immunization against tetanus within one year
of entrance to college, a report on a chest X-ray made with-
in sixty days of entrance, and a complete medical history
report. Blanks for this information are forwarded during
the summer.
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-
Community Activities 111
gency health problems. The parent Is expected to sign the
necessary forms to give the College this right.
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
Ann Worthy Johnson^ B.A., M.A. . . Director of Alumnae Affairs
Dorothy Weakley^ B.A Secretary
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 1956 are Mrs. C. Dixon Fowler, president;
Mrs. H. Clay Lewis, Mrs. G. Scott Candler, Jr., and Mrs.
Salvador Andretta, vice-presidents; Mrs. E. C. Colwell,
secretary; and Mrs. D. A. Lackey, treasurer.
