AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE
History and Purpose
Agnes Scott is a privately controlled college of liberal
arts for women offering courses leading to the Bachelor
of Arts degree. The College is located on a sixty-five acre
campus at Decatur, Georgia, in the metropolitan Atlanta
area. Its student body averages six hundred and forty and
comes from more than half of the states and several foreign
countries. Permanent assets amount to more than $14,500,-
000, of which $8,800,000 is in endowment.
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 maintained a close relationship to that church. The
College is not controlled or supported by the church, how-
ever, 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. On completion
of the Bachelor of Arts degree, students interested in
careers enter immediately or after further study a
variety of fields which include teaching, religious education,
business, medicine, research, government, and social service.
Fifteen to twenty per cent of each class take advanced
work on the graduate or professional level.

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 University
Conference.
University Center
Participation in the University Center, a group of eight
institutions of higher learning in the Atlanta area, provides
social and educational resources beyond the limits of the
college campus. In the group are Emory University, Geor-
gia Institute of Technology, Georgia State College, 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
instructors, provision for visiting scholars, 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 seventy-five. Total enrollment,
Including resident and non-resident students, averages six
hundred and forty. 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.
Correspondence regarding admission should be ad-
dressed to the Director of Admissions.
Admission to the Freshman Class
There are two plans of admission: (1) the Regular
Plan, open to the majority of applicants, and (2) the Early
Decision Plan, an optional plan open to a small group
of applicants who are ready by October of the senior year
in high school to certify that Agnes Scott is their single
choice of college and who have followed instructions out-
lined in Item 4 of this section.
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
high 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 which the College secures.
1. Academic Preparation. Courses taken in high 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 im-
portant in preparation for the program here; preference
19
20 Agnes Scott College
will be given to applicants who present evidence of this
preparation.
Candidates for admission are expected to take a mini-
mum of four academic subjects during each of the four
years in high school. The following subjects are strongly
recommended or required:
English composition, grammar, and literature ; four years required.
College preparatory mathematics, including plane geometry; three
years recommended.
Foreign language : three or four years of one language (preferably
Latin), or two years in each of two difFerent languages recom-
mended. A minimum of two years of one language required.
No entrance credit given for one year of a language.
Science: one or more laboratory sciences (biology, chemistry, or
physics) recommended.
History: two 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 appre-
ciation. No entrance credit is given for physical education,
glee club, band, and other extra-curricular activities. While
typing is considered a helpful skill, it should not be offered
as one of the sixteen entrance credits.
Prospective applicants are advised to 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.
2. Filing of Application (Regular Plan). The appli-
cation for admission form may be secured on or after
September 1 of the candidate's senior year in high school
and may be filed on or after October 15. It should be filed
before February 1. A statement regarding admission and
scholarship procedure is mailed with each application form
and should be studied carefully by the applicant.
On receipt of the application for admission, the College
will forward to the candidate a certificate form for the
Admission of Students 21
high school record; this transcript is to be sent directly
by the high school to the Admissions Office. If the applica-
tion and transcript are filed prior to the end of the first
semester, the College will then send to the candidate in
late January a form on which her first semester grades
may be recorded. At the end of the school year, the College
will forward directly to the high school a form on which
the official record for the entire senior year, including
statement of graduation, may be recorded.
3. Scholastic Aptitude and Achievement Tests. All ap-
plicants (except those admitted on the Early Decision
Plan) must take, during the senior year, the Scholastic
Aptitude Test and three Achievement Tests of the College
Entrance Examination Board. No special preparation is
required; scores made are only one of several items con-
sidered in measuring the candidate's ability and academic
preparation. The Scholastic Aptitude Test is to be taken
in December or January (preferably December). The
Achievement Tests are to be taken in January or March
(preferably January) and should be in continuing subjects
such as English, foreign language, and mathematics.
High school juniors are advised to take the College
Board Scholastic Aptitude Test in March or May and
Achievement Tests in May in English and also in one-year
or terminal subjects which will not be continued in the senior
year. They should request the College Entrance Examina-
tion Board to forward the results to Agnes Scott. Those
interested in Early Decision should read instructions in
Item 4 of this section.
The candidate should write to the College Entrance
Examination Board for a Bulletin of Information, which
contains 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 western states) Box
27896, Los Angeles 27, California. The application should
22 Agnes Scott College
be completed 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 1960-1961 : February 4,
March 18, and May 20 (primarily for juniors). Dates for
the 1961-1962 series are December 2, January 13, March 3,
and May 19 (primarily for juniors).
4. Filing of Application (Early Decision Plan). Candi-
dates who have decided that Agnes Scott is their single
choice of college and who will certify that they are not
applying to any other college until informed of the action of
the Agnes Scott Admissions Committee may apply for ad-
mission on the Early Decision Plan. They must have taken
the Scholastic Aptitude and three Achievement Tests of the
College Entrance Examination Board in May of the junior
year (or the Scholastic Aptitude Test in March and the
Achievement Tests in May) . Achievement Tests are to be
taken in English and in two other subjects being studied
during the eleventh grade. They should not be taken in first
year foreign language.
The special application for Early Decision is to be secured
from the Admissions Office on or after September 1 of the
senior year; application is to be filed by October 15 (or
October 1, if scholarship assistance is requested). Candi-
dates will be notified by early December of the action of the
Committee.
Candidates accepted on the Early Decision Plan agree,
if they wish a place held in the freshman class, to make a
non-refundable payment; this payment represents a portion
of the total expenses for the freshman year and, in the
case of boarding students, takes the place of the room-
retaining fee due on June 15.
The Early Decision Plan is designed to assure unusually
well-qualified applicants of admission to their first-choice
college. Only those with excellent school records and good
junior year College Board test results should apply; they
Admission of Students 23
should first secure advice from their school principal or
counselor. Those who do not qualify on this Plan, or who do
not have a single choice college by October 15, are under
no handicap when their applications are considered later in
the year, on the Regular Plan.
5. Acceptance of Application. Candidates for admission
on the Regular Plan are mailed acceptance letters in the
spring. Acceptance of an application (Regular or Early
Decision Plan) assumes the satisfactory completion of
courses in progress and a satisfactory medical report.
6. Medical Report. Each new student is required to
submit a certificate of complete examination by her family
physician; a certificate of successful vaccination against
smallpox within six years; certificates of immunization
against typhoid, polio, and tetanus; a report on a recent
chest X-ray; and a complete medical history report. In-
structions and forms for this report are mailed in May;
the report must be completed and returned to the College
Physician by August 1.
7. Advanced Placement Tests. Students who have taken
college level courses in high school and who wish to be ad-
mitted to more advanced courses than those offered in the
regular freshman program are advised to take the Ad-
vanced Placement Examinations of the College Entrance
Examination Board in May. Information may be secured
from their schools or through College Board Advanced
Placement Examinations, c/o Educational Testing Service,
Box 592, Princeton, New Jersey.
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. Date of application is one of the con-
siderations in assigning rooms.
24 Agnes Scott College
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 high school
and college records, a copy of the college catalogue with
the courses taken indicated, a statement of honorable dis-
missal, and the results of the Scholastic Aptitude Test of
the College Entrance Examination Board. Because admis-
sion on this basis is limited, the College advises only those
students to apply who have made good records and who
have followed a course of study 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.
Appointments at the College
Visitors are welcome. The admissions office is open
(except during holiday periods) on Monday through Friday
from nine to twelve and two to four and on Saturdays
until noon. An appointment should be made in advance in
order that the student may confer with a member of the
admissions 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.
THE CURRICULUM
Agnes Scott College offers a program of study leading
to the Bachelor of Arts degree. A plan of distribution and
concentration is followed, permitting the exploration of
several areas in the first two years and specialization in a
major field in the last two years.
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; a course scheduled for three
hours a week for the entire college year will give a credit
of nine quarter hours.
Candidates for the degree must present one hundred
eighty quarter hours of academic credit. They must earn
at Agnes Scott a number of quality points equal to the
number of credit hours taken in residence and presented
for the degree. 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. The work of the junior and senior years
must be completed in this college.
Required Courses
Certain courses are required, as listed below, and others
are elective. The program of work for each student is
approved by the appropriate Committee on Courses and
may not be changed without the permission of the Com-
mittee.
A. Specific requirements:
English 101 9 quarter hours
Bible 101 or 201 9 quarter hours

hours). Students admitted with only two credits in one
foreign language are required to take a minimum of
two years (18 hours) in one language in college,
b. Literature 9 quarter hours
Choice of a literature course in English (English 211)
or a literature course in a foreign language. If a litera-
ture course in foreign language is used to satisfy this
requirement, 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, Mathe-
matics. The equivalent of a year course must be com-

Committee on Courses for Freshmen and usually includes
five academic subjects and physical education. The following
courses must be elected, with the options indicated above:
English 101; a foreign language (continuation and/or a
new language) ; a science and/or mathematics. Since two
courses in Group 3 are required for the degree, it is usually
advisable to take one in the freshman 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.
The specific and group requirements for the degree must
be completed by the end of the sophomore year with such

men permits.
The Curriculum 27
Major and Related Hours
The major and related hours are 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 quar-
ter 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 exception
may be made in the departments of Art, Classics, Music,
History and PoHtical 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 Chemi-
cal 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 (elementary modern foreign
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, with a minimum of
eighteen hours in 300 and 400 level courses. 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
28 Agnes Scott College
and Sociology, English, French, German, Greek, History,
Latin, Mathematics, Music, Philosophy, Physics, Political
Science and History, 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 or 310, 306;
Chemistry 102 or 101-201, 203, 301, 304; 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.
The Junior Year Abroad
Qualified students may substitute for the work of the
junior year at Agnes Scott a year of study abroad under the
direction of a group approved by the College, To be eligible
for the junior year abroad, a student must have high
standing in the work of the first two years and must be
recommended by her major department and by the language
department involved. Any student who may wish to apply
for the year abroad should file written request in the office
of the Dean of the Faculty before February 1 of her
sophomore year.
Program of Independent Study
Through a program of independent study, superior
students are given the opportunity to explore for them-
selves some field of intellectual or artistic interest in their
major field and to produce independently some piece of work
connected with it. The program is open to seniors who
qualify on the basis of a B average by the end of the
winter or spring quarter of the junior year. Students who
The Curriculum 29
are eligible for the program are so notified by the Dean of
the Faculty.
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).
Summer session work may not be used to fulfill quality
point requirements for classification or for the degree.
ADMINISTRATION OF THE
CURRICULUM
Students are expected to make themselves thoroughly
familiar with the plan of the curriculum and to arrange
their courses to conform with its requirements. During the
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 Upper Classmen.
Freshmen make a tentative selection of courses during the
summer preceding enrollment.
Limitation of Hours and Courses
The maximum number of credit hours a week for fresh-
men is sixteen and the minimum fourteen.
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. Students admitted to the
teacher education program may carry twenty hours during
the quarter of apprentice teaching.
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 department, they
must be in excess of the one hundred eighty required for
the degree.
Not more than thirty-six hours in the junior and senior
30
Administration of the Curriculum 31
years may be in courses below the 300 level; hours in excess
of thirty-six in 100 and 200 level courses must be in excess
of ninety total hours earned in the junior and senior years.
Not more than nine hours in the senior year may be in
100 level courses except by permission of the major pro-
fessor, the Dean of the Faculty, and the Committee on
Courses.
Students may audit courses only with 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 con-
sidered.
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
the second Tuesday in November for the fall quarter, the
second Tuesday in February for the winter quarter, or the
first Tuesday in May for the spring quarter; exception
may be made only with the permission of the appropriate
course committee and the Dean of the Faculty.
Class Attendance
Attendance at all academic appointments is required of
all freshmen during the first quarter, of those freshmen
during the second quarter whose grade in any academic
subject is below C, of students on the ineligible list, and of
students who are on academic 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.
32 Agnes Scott College
Attendance at tests announced a week in advance is
mandatory.
Attendance at classes is required the day before and
the day after a holiday.
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 an
automatic penalty of a $5.00 late registration fee. A stu-
dent 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.
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-exami-
nation are required to repeat the course or forfeit the
credit.
A "special" examination is given only with the per-
mission of the Dean of Students in response to a written
request from the student. 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.
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
Administration of the Curriculum 33
attainment; 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 Clas-
sification of Students and Requirements for the Degree.
Discipline and Exclusion
The work of each student is reviewed at the end of
every quarter. Those students whose work is not satis-
factory are placed on an inehgible list. They lose the
privilege of voluntary class attendance, and their activities
and social engagements are subject to review by the Dean
of Students.
A student whose work is very unsatisfactory at the
end of any quarter may be asked to withdraw from the col-
lege or may be placed on academic probation for the
remainder of the year. If by the end of the session a stu-
dent has failed to earn at least thirty quarter hours of
degree credit in academic work she is automatically excluded.
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
danger to her own health or to that of others may be asked
to withdraw.
Each student upon entrance formally adopts the Honor
System by signing a pledge to uphold the standards and
regulations of the College. These standards and regula-
tions are printed in The Student Handbook. A student
whose conduct indicates that she 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.

Program of Independent Study
The course number 490 is used in each department for
the program of independent study. The program may
be undertaken for three, four, or five hours per quarter,
with a maximum total credit of ten quarter hours, and must
be continued throughout more than one quarter except in
unusual cases and with the permission of the Dean of the
Faculty. Students who are eligible for the program are so
notified by the Dean of the Faculty.
Emory University Courses
Under a cooperative agreement, upperclassmen may
take courses at Emory University. Permission for such

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 have been
planned by a Committee on Teacher Education representing both
institutions.
Students who plan to teach should begin to plan programs early in
no case later than the end of the sophomore year. It is recommended
that they take Psychology 201 in the sophomore year. Mrs. Stack
will advise students in regard to requirements and assist in plan-
English 63
ning for necessary courses. Certain grade requirements must be
met by students applying for admission to the teacher education program;
these requirements are posted.
Students planning to teach at the secondary level may be certified in
one of the following five fields: English, foreign language, mathematics,
science, social studies. Their course of study vv^ill include an approved
major program in an appropriate subject field and the follovv^ing courses
in Education: 301, 303, 401S, 402, and 404. (Psychology 309, Adolescent
Psychology, is strongly recommended.)
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, 401 E, 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 (229 strongly recommended), music (340
recommended), and physical education (recreational leadership required).
The remaining hours are to be selected from the following: Biology 101
(five of these hours count toward the required thirty); Sociology 317;
Speech (101, 102, 103, or 308); Librarianship 315 (Books and Related
Materials for Children and Young People, offered at Emory for three
or five quarter hours of credit, spring quarter) ; History 215 (five of
these hours count toward the required thirty) or Political Science 201
(five of these hours count toward the required thirty) or Political Science
308.
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 project-
ing programs in order that proper guidance may be given.

BUILDINGS, GROUNDS, AND
EQUIPMENT
The College has a campus of sixty-five acres. The main
buildings are brick and stone and those of more recent
construction are modern Gothic in design. Dormitories are
completely equipped with sprinkler systems and fire escapes.
BuTTRiCK Hall, the classroom-administration building,
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.
The McCain Library, erected in 1936, was named in
honor of President Emeritus James Ross McCain by action
of the Board of Trustees June 1, 1951.
The Agnes Scott collection numbers about 78,000 vol-
umes, and 339 periodicals are received currently. The two
main reading rooms seat 250 students, and an additional
250 can be accommodated in the carrels, the seminar and
lecture rooms, and the outdoor reading terrace. There are
six floors of open stacks.
Supplementing the bibliographical resources of the
Agnes Scott library are Union Catalogues at Emory Uni-
versity and the University of Georgia of the holdings of
thirty libraries in the Atlanta-Athens area. About one mil-
lion and a half volumes are represented. Reciprocity in the
libraries of this area, particularly between Agnes Scott and
Emory, is a feature of the University Center program.
Presser Hall, completed in 1940, bears the name of
Theodore Presser, Philadelphia music publisher whose
Foundation contributed toward its erection. The building
contains Gaines Chapel, Maclean Auditorium, and facilities
105

practice rooms.
The Frances Winship Walters Infirmary, com-
pleted in 1949, has capacity for thirty patients. The building
is named in honor of the donor, an alumna and trustee of
the College.
The Letitia Pate Evans Dining Hall, completed in
1950, is named in honor of its principal donor, Mrs. Letitia
Pate Evans of Hot Springs, Virginia. The building has
four separate dining rooms, with the main hall large enough
to accommodate the entire student body.
The John Bulow Campbell Science Hall, com-
pleted in 1951, is named in honor of a former trustee of the
College. The building contains a total of seventy-seven
rooms, including twenty laboratories, five lecture rooms, a
large assembly room, a library, a museum, and depart-
mental offices.
The Bradley Observatory, erected in 1949, houses
the 30-inch Beck Telescope, a planetarium, lecture room,
photographic dark room, optical shop for making tele-
scopes, laboratory space, and a library.
All Dormitories are located on the campus. Agnes
Scott Hall, Rebekah Scott, Inman, Hopkins, and Walters
Hall are the main dormitories. Additional units are Sturgis,
Ansley, Gaines, Alexander, Harn-Omwake, East Lawn, and
Hardeman houses, also located on campus.
BucHER Scott Gymnasium-Auditorium is the center
of athletic activities. Basketball and badminton courts, an
auditorium, swimming pool, and offices of the physical
education directors are located here. Adjacent to the gym-
nasium are a playing field for hockey, archery, and soft-
ball; four all-weather Laykold tennis courts; and an amphi-
theatre.
Other buildings on the campus include the President's
Buildings and Grounds 107
Home, the Murphey Candler Student Activities Building,
the Rogers Cabin, and the Anna Young Alumnae House.
Rooms
All rooms are at the same rate, whether double or single.
Each room is furnished with single beds, mattresses and
pillows, dressers, chairs, study table, student lamp, book-
case, and waste basket. Students will supply their own bed
linen, blankets, curtains, rugs, and towels. Radios are per-
mitted.
COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES
Extra-C urricular 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 Committee, May Day Committee and Dance
Group, Social Council, National Student Association, Inter-
national Relations 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.
Social Council coordinates the social activities of the
campus, including in its program a formal reception for
new students, dances, movies, and varied Saturday night
entertainment during the session.
Lecture Committee, 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 Student Hand-
108
Community Activities 109
book, a manual of information issued annually by the
student associations.
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 clubs, Pi Alpha Phi de-
bating society, Blackfriars dramatic club, the Dance Group,
Dolphin Club, Glee Club, Guild Student Group (chartered
by the American Guild of Organists and sponsored by the
Atlanta chapter). International Relations Club, Psy-
chology Club, and several creative writing groups. National
honor societies include Mortar Board (service and leader-
ship) ; Eta Sigma Phi (classics) ; Sigma Alpha Iota (music) ;
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. 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-
vocation which all members of the college community are
expected to attend. Although attendance at other chapel
110 Agnes Scott College
services is voluntary, students are urged to be present
regularly.
Health Service
The student health service is under the direction of the
college physician and her staff.
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.
The College recommends a twelve-month Student Acci-
dent and Sickness Insurance Plan in order to help meet
possible medical expenses not provided by the college
Health Service. Information about the plan is sent to par-
ents prior to the opening of each session.
The College reserves the right, if the parents or guard-
ians cannot be reached, to make decisions concerning emer-
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.
Community Activities 111
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.
A vocational information service is conducted by an
Assistant Dean of Students.

or who withdraw after being notified of acceptance, will
112
Fees 113
forfeit $15.00 of the fee if the withdrawal takes place on
or before May 1 (or February 1 in the case of Early
Decision candidates). Returning students will forfeit $15.00
of the fee if the withdrawal takes place on or before May
30. After these dates, none of the fee will be refundable.
The entire registration fee will be refunded to freshman
and transfer applicants whom the College finds it impossible
to admit.
Registration in September will be facihtated if payment
is sent prior to the student's arrival. The Treasurer re-
quests that the check for payment not include funds for the
student's personal account.
The above schedule of payments due before September
does not apply to candidates accepted on the Early Decision
Plan.
A patron who finds it necessary to request deferred pay-
ment of his account is asked to make special arrangements
with the Treasurer in advance of the due date. In all such
cases notes are to be signed in advance. They bear interest
at six per cent from date payment was due.
Notes cannot be accepted for the payment for resident
students due June 15.
Discounts
A discount on tuition of $100.00 is made to resident
students whose fathers are ministers; a discount of $50.00
is made to non-resident students whose fathers are ministers.
Half of all discounts will be credited on the September
payment and half on the January payment. Students who
receive discounts must be registered for the entire session.
Music and Speech Fees
Fees for private lessons in Music and Speech are to be
paid after permission for the lessons has been secured from
the course committee. Treasurer's receipt for payment must
be presented to the instructor before admission to class can
be granted.
114 Agnes Scott College

The above fees are payable in full in September, or half
in September and half on January 1. If one lesson weekly
is permitted in applied music or in speech, the charge will
be half of the regular fee.
Terms
No student will be admitted for less than a full quarter.
No refunds of any nature are made because of the with-
drawal of a student. No adjustment in fees can be made
when a student changes from boarding to day student status,
or when she attends only one or two quarters of the session,
unless arrangements are made with the President prior
to the close of the preceding session. These provisions are
necessary because all financial arrangements for instruction
and maintenance must be made well in advance of the begin-
ning of each college year. With a limited student body, the
College suffers a financial loss whenever a student with-
draws, no matter how valid the reason.
A student may not attend classes or take examinations
until accounts have been satisfactorily adjusted with the
Treasurer.
All financial obligations to the college must be met
before a student can be awarded a diploma, or before a
transcript of record can be issued to another institution.
There is no charge for the first transcript, but a charge of
$1.00 is made for each additional copy.
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.
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.
Fees 115
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 $75.00 be brought
for this purpose.
SCHOLARSHIP AND SPECIAL
FUNDS
Financial Aid Program
The Income from a limited number of endowed funds is
available for students who need financial assistance in order
to attend Agnes Scott. All of the awards except special ones
made at Commencement are subject to renewal each year,
in whole or in part, provided the need continues to exist
and the student's academic progress is satisfactory. Stu-
dents already in residence receive instructions during the
session regarding procedure for filing application. Enter-
ing students will receive instructions from the Office of
Admissions and are urged to obtain these instructions be-
fore January IS (scholarship applicants on the Early De-
cision Plan must secure instructions before October 1 ) .
Agnes Scott participates in the College Scholarship Ser-
vice of the College Entrance Examination Board. This
Service is a cooperative undertaking among colleges to
foster the distribution of financial aid on the basis of actual
need; a uniform scholarship application form (the Parents'
Confidential Statement) is required, and uniform methods
of computing need are employed. In line with the policy of
colleges subscribing to the Service, the amount of each
stipend is determined in relation to financial need, and
within the limits of available funds. Any recipient of an
Agnes Scott scholarship who has received financial assistance
from another source is expected to notify the College. The
Agnes Scott scholarship may then be subject to review
and some adjustment made. It is also subject to adjustment
if the recipient is awarded an honor scholarship at Com-
mencement (see section on Commencement Awards).
Entering students who need assistance are eligible for
two types of aid: awards which require no duties during
the first year, and service grants which require three and one
116
Endowment Funds 117
half to four hours of work per week in return. All scholar-
ship renewals are in the form of service scholarships or, in
unusual circumstances, a combination of service scholarship
and grant-in-aid. In no case does a service scholarship for
an upperclassman require work in excess of ten hours per
week. Duties are assigned through the Supervisor of Service
Scholarships (a member of the Dean of Students' staff) and
may involve acting as hostesses, operating the switchboard,
or helping in the library, offices, physical education depart-
ment, or laboratories.
If an applicant's need exceeds the resources available
at Agnes Scott, the College is often able to assist her in
securing aid from one of several educational loan founda-
tions established for the purpose.

AT.TTMNFAF ASSOC TATTON
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-six cities.
The Alumnae Association operates the Anna Young
Alumnae House, publishes The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quar-
terly, conducts the Alumnae Fund, and maintains files of
information on more than 9,500 individual alumnae. Volun-
teer committees, under the governance of the Executive
Board, carry on services including house and grounds im-
provement, 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 alumnae an active force in American
education.
