General Information

General Information

History

Agnes Scott had its beginnings in the faith and vision of a small group of
Presbyterians in Decatur, Georgia. The organizing of a Christian school was
undertaken in July of 1889, and, under the influence of the Reverend Frank Henry
Gaines, minister of the Decatur Presbyterian Church, it was decided that the
school would be primarily for girls and young women. Founded in that year as the
Decatur Female Seminary, the school occupied a rented house and had slightly
over $5,000 of subscribed capital. There were four teachers and sixty-three
students, and the work offered was of grammar-school level. In the spring of 1890,
Colonel George Washington Scott, a leading Decatur businessman, gave $40,000
to provide "a home" for the school . Colonel Scott had earlier provided 40% of the
initial capital, and his gifts to the new school constituted the largest sum given to
education in Georgia up to that time. In recognition of his interest and support, the
Board of Trustees changed the school's name to Agnes Scott Institute in honor of
Colonel Scott's mother.

Within ten years the Institute was accredited as a secondary school. In 1906 it
was chartered as Agnes Scott College, and the first degrees were awarded. The
College was accredited in 1907 by the Southern Association of Colleges and
Schools and thus became the first college or university in Georgia to receive
regional accreditation. In 1920 the College was placed on the approved list of the
Association of American Universities and in 1926 was granted a charter by the
United Chapters of Phi Beta Kappa. Agnes Scott is also a charter member of the
American Association of University Women and of the Southern University
Conference.

Throughout its history, Agnes Scott has sought to maintain the ideals first
voiced by its founders: ". . .the formation and development of Christian charac-
ter" and "a high standard of scholarship." The College is proud of its Presbyte-
rian heritage and continues an informal affiliation with the Presbyterian Church in
the United States; but it has been since its founding an independent institution
governed by a self-perpetuating Board of Trustees. Its academic program has been
based on a firm adherence to the traditional liberal arts disciplines supplemented
by academic and extracurricular opportunities designed to meet the changing
needs of women in our society.

From modest beginnings, the permanent assets of the College have grown to
almost $60,000,000 of which some$40,000,000 is in endowment. From a single
house on a small lot Agnes Scott has expanded into twenty buildings on some one
hundred acres. In it ninety-one year history it has been served by four presidents:
Frank Henry Gaines (1889-1923), James Ross McCain (1923-1951), Wallace
McPherson Alston (1951-1973), and Marvin Banks Perry, Jr. (1973- ).

Agnes Scott College

Purpose

Agnes Scott was founded for the purpose of "establishing, perpetuating, and
conducting a liberal arts college for the higher education of young women under
auspices distinctly favorable to the maintenance of the faith and practice of the
Christian religion."

In a rapidly changing world of increasing mechanization and complexity, the
College continues to put its faith in the life of the mind and the spirit and in the
liberating power of knowledge.

As a liberal arts college for undergraduate women, the purpose of the College is
as follows:

1 . to help the student gain a basic acquaintance with each of three broad areas of
knowledge the humanities, natural sciences and mathematics, and social
sciences and competence in some particular phase of one area;

2. to develop through such study those qualities of mind analytical, critical,
and imaginative which will enable the student to use the treasure of the
past as well as contemporary contributions to knowledge, not only to enrich
her own life but also to seek solutions to age-old and new problems;

3. to develop an appreciation for excellence and for man's creative achieve-
ments in all fields;

4. to encourage the student to find for herself a spiritual commitment and a set
of values which will give vitality, meaning, and direction to her life;

5. to foster a concern for human worth and needs, physical as well as intellec-
tual and spiritual;

6. to cultivate in the student a sense of responsibility to the society in which she
lives, both within the college community and beyond.

Policies

Nondiscrimination

Agnes Scott College does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed,
national or ethnic origin, or handicap in the recruitment and admission of students
or the recruitment and employment of faculty and staff. This nondiscriminatory
policy also applies to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally
accorded or made available to students at the College; and to the administration of
educational policies, scholarship and loan programs, student employment, and
other college-administered programs.

Confldentiality of Student Records

The Family Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (commonly called the Buckley
Amendment) is designed to protect the privacy of education records, to establish
the rights of students to inspect and review their records, and to provide a means of
correcting inaccurate and misleading data. Agnes Scott College makes every effort
to comply fully with the terms of this legislation.

Certain information is considered public and is released by the college at its
discretion. Unless a student files written notification to withhold disclosure, the

General Information

College will release announcements of graduation, honors, and awards and will
verify dates of attendance and conferring of degrees. Names, addresses, and other
directory information will be released for use within the college community and in
the college directory.

Transcripts of academic records and statements of academic status are released
to third parties only with the written authorization of the student. The parents of a
dependent student have the right of access to the education record.

A student or her parent has the right to challenge any content of the student's
education record which is considered to be inaccurate, misleading, or in violation
of the student's privacy or other rights. Such a challenge may be directed to the
Registrar of the College and, finally, to the United States Department of Health,
Education and Welfare.

Suspension, Dismissal, and Withdrawal

A student may be suspended or dismissed from the College if she fails to meet
the academic standards prescribed by the Faculty. Each student upon entrance
agrees to undertake to live by the Honor System and to uphold the standards and
regulations of the College outlined in the Student Handbook. A student who fails
to do so may be suspended or dismissed. In either case, final action is taken by the
Administrative Committee acting upon the recommendation of the appropriate
student or faculty body.

A student whose continuance in college may involve danger to her own health or
to that of others may be asked by the Administration to withdraw.

A student who withdraws during the session for reasons other than suspension or
dismissal must obtain a withdrawal card from the Dean of Students or the Dean of
the College. The student is not officially withdrawn until the card is on file in the
Registrar's office.

Student Life

Orientation

Orientation for new students is planned by a student orgainzation. Orientation
Council. All components of the college community help to provide a wide
spectrum of activities, both academic and social, on the campus and in metropoli-
tan Atlanta.

Residence Halls

The life of the College is influenced by the fact that students live and work in a
small residential community. A dorm president and a dorm council are elected for
each dormitory , and a senior resident, who is a member of the staff of the Dean of
Students, is available for conferences when needed. All regulations governing the
college community are clearly set forth in a Student Handbook which is given to
each student when she arrives on the campus.

All rooms are at the same rate. Each room is furnished with single beds,
mattresses and pillows, dressers, chairs, study tables, student lamps, and book-
cases.

parents, close relatives, or spouse. Exception is made in the case of students in the
Return to College Program. Students who wish to change from resident to non-
resident status or non-resident to resident status must obtain permission from the
Dean of Students.

Advising and Counseling

A chief function of the Dean of the College and her staff, assisted by major
professors and other designated members of the faculty, is academic counseling.

General counseling of students, especially in relation to non-academic matters
and social and extracurricular activities, is centered in the office of the Dean of
Students. A consulting psychologist is available for additional counseling through
the Dean of Students.

Health Services

The student health services of the College are supervised by the Dean of
Students and are available in the Health Center of the Frances Winship Walters
Infirmary. The college medical staff includes consultants in internal medicine,
gynecology, and psychology. Nurses are on duty in the Health Center from 8:00
a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. A gynecological clinic is held every
Tuesday evening from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

The residence fee charged all boarding students includes ordinary infirmary and
office treatment for resident students. The expense is met by the student if
consultations, laboratory work, or prescription medications are required. Resident
students are urged to consult with on-campus nurses before seeking off-campus
medical treatment. Cases of serious illness or accident may be referred to local
hospitals.

Non-resident students may be treated for emergencies at the Health Center.

The College reserves the right, if parents or guardian cannot be reached, to make
decisions concerning emergency health problems for any student. The parent is
expected to sign the forms necessary for this right. Students are financially
responsible for any care received at local hospitals or emergency rooms. Students
should have insurance identification cards when consulting with outside health
agencies.

Student Government

To learn to live honorably and unselfishly in a community and to share the
responsibility of self-government is the stated purpose of the Student Government
Association. Such experiences are a part of the broader education offered at Agnes
Scott. Students have an active role in shaping the policies and regulations of the
College. Thepresident of Student Government, the chairman of Honor Court, and
the chairman of Interdormitory Council are full voting members of the Administra-
tive Committee of the College in all student-oriented matters.

The activities of the students are directed through elected members of Represen-
tative Council, Honor Court, Interdormitory Council, and Dormitory Councils.

8

General Information

Functioning closely with Student Government is the Board of Student Activities,
which coordinates the programs of all student organizations including Arts Coun-
cil, Athletic Association, Christian Association, and Social Council. These groups
are responsible for correlating campus activities with the needs of the college
community.

The Honor System

The Honor System is the cornerstone of life at Agnes Scott. The freedom to
grow responsibly in social and academic life is the basis on which the Honor
System is built. Each member of the college community is committed to develop
and uphold high standards of honesty and behavior. Self-scheduled exams, un-
proctored quizzes, and open rooms are among the benefits enjoyed by students. On
entering the College, each student voluntarily pledges her support to this way of
life.

Academic Honors

The Beta of Georgia Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa was established at Agnes Scott
in 1926. The Chapter conducts annual elections in accordance with criteria and
procedures prescribed by the United Chapters.

Superior academic work is recognized by the College in several ways. At the
Honors Convocation held each fall the Class Honor Roll is read, and Stukes
Scholars three students who rank first academically in the rising sophomore,
junior, and senior classes are announced.

Greek and Latin students, was organized at Agnes Scott in 1928. The society
encourages classical scholarship and appreciation of ancient learning both in the
Agnes Scott student body and in the local high school. The basis of election to
membership is scholarship.

number of special interest clubs (creative writing, dance, drama, foreign lan-
guage, music, politics, and sports) are open to students. Through the faculty-
student Lecture Committee, the College brings to the campus both lecturers and
visiting scholars in various fields and distinguished personalities from the per-

opportunity for students to participate in various areas of religious life, including
chapel programs.

Students are encouraged to affiliate with the church of their choice in the
Decatur or Atlanta area. Transportation is usually arranged by churches that are
not easily accessible.

Each year a number of religious leaders are brought to the campus for formal
presentations and informal meetings with students and faculty.

Career Planning

The Career Planning Office offers undergraduates and alumnae a comprehen-
sive program, the primary goals of which are an expanded awareness of career and
lifestyle options, the ability to make informed career decisions, and the develop-
ment of successful job-search strategies.

To help attain these goals, the Office provides individual counseling, confer-
ences, and workshops on such topics as specific career fields, skills assessment,
decision-making, job hunting, resume' writing, and interviewing techniques.

A major component of the career planning program is experiential learning,
with several options for off-campus experiences offered each year. Through the
Shadow Program, students spend an afternoon or longer during the academic year
talking with Atlanta-area sponsors who work in career fields of interest to the
student. By participating in the Extern Program, students themselves have a
greater opportunity to perform some aspect of the job as they spend a concentrated
five-day period during a school vacation with sponsors and their colleagues.
Continually expanding internships and cooperative education opportunities are an
integral part of the program.

Each student who seeks counseling has access both to self-assessment aids and
vocational testing, as well as to an alumnae advisory network that provides career
advisers and role models. A number of prospective employers and graduate
schools send recruiters to the campus each year. Full-time, summer, and part-time
job referrals are provided upon request. A permanent credentials service is pro-
vided for alumnae.

A Career Resource Room contains books and pamphlets about traditional and
non-traditional careers, lifestyles, the status of women in the work world, occupa-

tional outlook, and opportunities with specific employers. Graduate and profes-
sional school catalogs and directories are available.

academic work and extracurricular activities by participating in career-related
activities both on and off the campus. Counseling, information, and job placement
services are available to alumnae as well as to current students.

include English composition and two other subjects chosen from two differ-
ent fields. A student who wishes to be tested in a subject that will not be
continued beyond the eleventh grade should take the test in the late spring of

where the Admissions Committee needs additional test scores and for
placement in advanced level courses.

seniors to begin college work before graduation from high school and assures
simultaneous receipt of a high school diploma and of college credit. Under this
program a high school senior, male or female, may take some courses at the high
school and some at Agnes Scott. These students are unclassified and are approved
for admission to specific courses by the Dean of the College. The candidates must
submit a high school transcript, a record of SAT, or ACT scores, and a letter from
the high school counselor stating school approval for specific courses as well as the
general recommendation of the school.

Early Admission Plan

Students judged to be ready for college in terms of academic preparation and
overall maturity, after the eleventh grade, may be admitted without the completion

15

admission on this basis. Early Admission students are classified as freshmen and
use the normal application procedure. Some high schools may grant a high school
diploma after completion of freshmen courses at Agnes Scott College. A student
considering the Early Admission Plan should consult with her high school about its
policy.

Advanced Placement, Exemption, Advanced Credit

Financial Information

Students already in residence pay a $100 room-retaining deposit by April 1.
This non-refundable deposit entitles the student to select a residence hall room for
the next year. All returning students, both resident and commuting, make a non-
refundable enrollment-retaining deposit of $300 by July 1.

Students receiving financial assistance from the College are expected to pay the
full amounts of the room-retaining fee by April 1 and the enrollment-retaining fee
by July 1 . Grants and loans are then applied equally against the three quarterly
payments. Any refunds that result from over-payment are made upon request at the
beginning of each quarter.

Special Rates

Quarterly Rates Permission to attend classes for less than the full academic
year, i.e., by the quarter, must be obtained from the office of the Dean of the
College. The quarterly rate will be applied to the charges for the entire academic
year.

Quarterly rates are $1 ,950 for a resident student and $1 ,400 for a commuting
student. The quarterly rate applies if a student attends less than three quarters or
changes her classification from resident to non-resident student or vice versa.

The $75 student activity fee is not included in these charges and is due at the
beginning of the first quarter of enrollment. The advance deposits are due at the
scheduled time and are then credited against the total amount charged for the
quarter.

Quarter Hour Rates Unclassified and Return to College students who take
less than a full academic load (12 hours) in a quarter pay tuition at the rate of $1 10
per quarter hour. These students are not charged a student activities fee.

Special Fees

Senior Fee A senior fee of $25 to cover rental of cap , go wn , and hood and the
purchase of the diploma is required of all students who expect to graduate in June.
This payment is due August 1 .

Music Fees The fee for private lessons in applied music (including practice) is
$300. This fee applies to all students except senior music majors, and it covers two
thirty-minute lessons per week for the academic year. Payments of the music fee
may be made in full in September or at the beginning of each quarter. The charge
for one thirty-minute lesson weekly is half the regular fee.

In 1 980-8 1 group instruction in harpsichord and voice will be offered for a fee of
$25 per quarter.

Terms

A student may not attend classes or take examinations until accounts have been
satisfactorily adjusted with the Accounting Office. 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.

The College does not make refunds for tuition or room fees if a student leaves
the College before the end of the academic year. A per diem board refund will be

19

Agnes Scott College

made if a boarding student withdraws during the first five weeks of a quarter. Per
diem refunds are calculated from the date that the official withdrawal card is
received by the Registrar.

The College does not provide room and board for resident students during the
Thanksgiving, Christmas, or spring vacation. The dining hall and residence halls
are closed during these periods.

The College exercises every precaution to protect property of students but
cannot be responsible for any losses that may occur. Students responsible for any
damages involving repairs, loss, or replacement of college property are subject to
special charges.

It is understood that upon the entrance of a student her parents (or guardian)
accept as final and binding the terms and regulations outlined in the catalog and on
the application for admission or re-registration.

Deferred Payments

Many families elect to meet college expenses from current income through a
tuition payment plan. The College endorses a low cost, deferred payment program
which includes insurance protection. Information may be obtained from Insured
Tuition Payment Plan, 53 Beacon Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02108. Deferred
payments are not authorized for the advance fees due in the spring.

Health Insurance

There is no charge for routine treatment in the student Health Center. To help
meet possible medical expenses not provided by the college health services, a
twelve-month Student Accident and Sickness Insurance Plan is recommended.
Information concerning this plan is sent to parents prior to the opening of the
session. This coverage is required of foreign students.

Financial Aid and Scholarships

Agnes Scott makes every effort to provide financial assistance for students
whose resources are insufficient to meet expenses at this college. In 1979 approxi-
mately 45% of the student body received aid from the College in amounts ranging
from $250 to full room, board, and tuition.

An Agnes Scott financial aid award is usually a combination of grant, low-
interest Agnes Scott loan, and the opportunity for campus employment. Students
may choose not to accept the loan or the employment portions of their package.
Grants and loans are applied toward students' accounts. The loans bear no interest
while students are in attendance and are repayable within five years after with-
drawal or graduation. Loan payments may be deferred during full-time attendance
at a graduate or professional school. Campus employment is for approximately
five hours a week for freshmen and sophomores and eight hours a week for juniors
and seniors. Students are paid by payroll check on a bi-weekly basis.

Financial aid awards are made for one year, but are renewable on evidence of
continued financial need. The amounts of subsequent awards are based on current

20

Financial Information

financial statements filed each year. Students are expected to be members in good
standing of the college community.

Financial aid information is confidential and is not a factor in admissions
decisions.

Agnes Scott Awards

Application Procedure Freshmen applicants seeking financial assistance file
a Financial Aid Form (FAF) with the College Scholarship Service (CSS), P.O.
Box 2700, Princeton, New Jersey 08540. The College will accept also the Family
Financial Statement (FFS) which is to be submitted to the American College
Testing Program (ACT), P.O. Box 1000, Iowa City, Iowa 52240, but the FAF is
preferred. These forms may be obtained from the high school guidance office and
should be filed by February 15 for priority consideration. Prospective students
should indicate their interest in financial assistance on the Agnes Scott application
for admission. There is no institutional application form for financial aid.

Presently enrolled students seeking aid for the next session should obtain a copy
of the FAF from the Financial Aid Office. Instructions for applying are posted on
the official bulletin board at the beginning of the winter quarter. Transfer appli-
cants may obtain a copy of the FAF from the Agnes Scott admissions office. They
should arrange also to have a financial aid transcript sent to the Agnes Scott
Director of Financial Aid from all institutions they have previously attended.

Determination of Awards The amount of financial aid granted to a student is
based on need, which is defined as the difference between the cost of attending
Agnes Scott and the family's financial resources. The Agnes Scott Financial Aid
Committee determines from the CSS Financial Aid Form or the ACT Family
Financial Statement the family resources which should be available to the student
for college expenses. Among the factors used in the analysis are the following:
family and student income and assets (including the student's summer earnings),
taxes, medical expenses, extraordinary debts and expenses, current living ex-
penses and retirement allowances, number of dependents, and number of children
in college. Copies of the parental federal income tax return for the year prior to
entrance are required for verification. These should be submitted to the Financial
Aid Office by June 1 . Students are expected also to inform the Financial Aid Office
of any significant changes in the financial situation of their family which might
necessitate an increase or decrease in aid.

Confidentiality of Awards Since the amount of an award reflects a family's
financial circumstances, the award will be considered a private matter among the
student, her parents, and the Financial Aid Committee. In accordance with the
legislation titled "The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974,"
Agnes Scott College will not release this information to others (except specific
scholarship donors) without the student's written consent.

Notification of Awards New students are notified shortly after receiving
notice of acceptance, provided their aid applications are complete. Returning
students are usually notified by April 1 .

Special Scholarships In addition to need-based grants, loans, and campus
jobs, Agnes Scott offers a number of scholarships based on merit. Up to ten Agnes
Scott Honor Scholars are chosen each year through a national selection process.
Each Honor Scholar receives $2,500 per year for her four-year college career, if

21

Agnes Scott College

she continues to meet the qualifications of the scholarship. To be eligible for these
scholarships, students must have outstanding high school records, meet specific
SAT requirements, and show evidence of leadership. All application materials
must be submitted to Agnes Scott by a specified deadline, usually early to mid-
January, and interest in competing for the Agnes Scott Honor Scholarships must be
indicated on the Agnes Scott Application for Admission. Further information
about the Agnes Scott Honor Scholars Program may be obtained from the Office of
Admissions, Agnes Scott College, Decatur, Georgia 30030.

Agnes Scott offers several four-year scholarships annually through the National
Merit Scholarship Corporation. Recipients are selected from finalists who have
designated Agnes Scott as their college choice and the minimum award is $500 per
year. As participants in the Charles A. Dana Scholarship Program, the College
will award scholarships totaling $40,000 to rising sophomores, juniors, and
seniors for the 1980-81 session. Factors in the selection of the Merit and Dana
Scholars are leadership potential and academic promise and achievement. Finan-
cial need is the basis for determining the amount of each scholarship.

The Nannette Hopkins Scholarships in music are awarded annually on the basis
of musical talent and promise. These renewable scholarships range from $300 to
$1,000 and additional financial aid may be awarded if needed. Applications are
obtained from the admissions office. Applicants are expected to audition in person
or on tape for the music department before April 1 .

The Marie L. Rose Scholarship of $1 ,000 is awarded annually by the Huguenot
Society of America to a rising sophomore, junior, or senior who presents proof of
eligibility as a Huguenot descendant. Applications for this award must be submit-
ted to the Agnes Scott Financial Aid Committee by June 1 of each year. The
Committee makes its recommendations to the Society on the basis of academic
performance and personal qualifications.

Return to College Students Both part-time and full-time students may apply
for financial assistance from the College. A Financial Aid Form (FAF), which can
be obtained from the Financial Aid Office, should be submitted well in advance of
the quarter in which matriculation is intended. Financial aid decisions on Return to
College students are made by the Return to College Committee where special
consideration is given each case. Awards are typically in the form of grants. In
special hardship cases of full-time degree candidates, loans and employment on
campus may be offered also. Return to College students are encouraged to apply
for federal and state aid for which they may be eligible.

Foreign Students. A limited amount of financial aid based on need is availa-
ble for foreign students. Interested foreign students may obtain both the CSS
Declaration and Certification of Finances and the Financial Aid Application for
Students in Foreign Countries from the Agnes Scott admissions office. Foreign
students must be able to provide at the least their own transportation, vacation and
summer expenses, and health insurance. February 1 is the deadline for receipt of
all admissions and financial aid documents from foreign students interested in aid.
An admissions decision will be made by March 1 , and a financial aid decision by
April 1 so that foreign students may notify the College of their decisions by May 1 .

Other Sources of Funds

Students interested in financial assistance at Agnes Scott are required to apply
for all federal and state grants which may be available to them. Students are

22

Financial Information

encouraged to investigate the possibility of aid through community agencies, local
foundations, corporations, unions, and religious and civic groups. High school
counselors and local libraries or the Agnes Scott Director of Financial Aid should
be consulted for further information.

Federal Programs The Basic Educational Opportunity Grant Program
(BEOG) is a federal student aid program which provides grants that range from
$50 to $1 ,800 (in 1979-80) to those with substantial financial need. In order to be
considered for this grant, students should follow all appropriate instructions on the
FAF or FFS. No other application is necessary.

The Guaranteed Student Loan Program (GSLP) enables students to borrow
directly from banks, credit unions, savings and loan associations, and other
participating lenders. These loans are guaranteed by a state or private nonprofit
agency or insured by the federal government. No interest is charged the student
while the student is in school. Nine months after the student leaves school, interest
begins to accrue at seven per cent. Students should inquire about these loans at
their local lenders or through the United Student Aid Funds, Inc., 200 East 42nd
Street, New York, N.Y. 10017.

State Grants Georgia residents who are classified as degree candidates, who
were legal residents of Georgia for the twelve months immediately preceding
enrollment, and who are enrolled for at least twelve quarter hours are eligible for
tuition grants through the Georgia Grant Program for Private Colleges. These
grants, which were $600 per student for the 1979-80 session, are not based on
financial need.

Georgia residents who are full-time students, and who demonstrate substantial
financial need, are eligible for Georgia Incentive Scholarships, which range from
$150 to $450 per year.

There is a common application form for the Georgia programs which must be
filed yearly and is available in the Financial Aid Office. Students applying for the
Georgia Incentive Scholarship must file by May 15 in the Financial Aid Office.
Those who wish to apply only for the Georgia Tuition Grant must file by the tenth
day of the first quarter of the term for which they register.

Other states including Connecticut, Delaware, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island, and Vermont have grant programs which may be used in out-of-
state colleges. Inquiries about these programs should be made to the Office of
Education of the state in which the student resides.

Student Responsibilities in Receiving Federal and State Assistance Stu-
dents are responsible for knowing and complying with all instructions and regula-
tions of the various governmental student assistance programs. To receive funds
from these sources, students must be in "good standing" and be "making
satisfactory progress" in their course of study. For the purposes of receiving this
aid, these terms are defined as the ' 'eligibility of a student to continue in her studies
at Agnes Scott."

Further Information All types of financial assistance, including others not
listed here, are fully described in the handbook Financing Your Agnes Scott
Education. This booklet may be obtained by writing to the Director of Financial
Aid, Agnes Scott College, Decatur, Georgia 30030.

The Academic Program

The Curriculum

Agnes Scott College confers the degree of Bachelor of Arts. The academic
program is planned to allow the student the maximum possible freedom within the
scope of a liberal arts education. The curriculum is designed to help her gain a
basic acquaintance with the major areas of knowledge and competence in one or

The College operates on a three quarter academic calendar, and the unit of credit
is the quarter hour. A course scheduled for three fifty-minute class periods a week
for one quarter carries credit of three quarter hours, and a course scheduled for
three class periods a week for the academic year carries credit of nine quarter
hours. A three-hour laboratory is equivalent to one class period. Some courses
carry four or five quarter hours of credit, indicating four or five class periods or the
equivalent each week.

division level, may take the senior year at another institution. A request for this
exception to the residence requirement must be filed with the Dean of the College
by the beginning of the spring quarter of the preceding session. Permission may
then be granted by the Committee on Academic Standards on recommendation of
the chairman of the major department and the Dean of the College.

Some students, because of superior high school preparation and special oppor-
tunities, may have had the equivalent of college-level work before beginning the
freshman year. An effort is made to see that no student finds college work a
repetition of previous experience. The following instruments are recognized as
appropriate testing devices: Advanced Placement Examination of the College
Entrance Examination Board, Achievement Test of the College Entrance Exami-
nation Board, exemption examinations prepared by certain departments at the
College, and CLEP Subject Examinations. On the basis of scores on these tests, a
student may be awarded college credit, placed in an advanced level course, or
given exemption from a course or distribution requirement.

A student who wishes to receive credit for college-level courses taken in high
school must take the College Board Advanced Placement Examination in May of
her senior year in high school . College credit will be awarded for a grade of 4 or 5
on the following examinations: American History, Biology, Chemistry, English,
European History. French. German. Mathematics (Calculus AB and Calculus
BC). Physics C, Spanish. College credit may be recommended by the appropriate
department for those students who have made a grade of 4 or 5 on the following
examinations: Art, Latin, Music, Physics B. The awarding of credit in these areas
is dependent upon action of the faculty. No credit is awarded for a grade of 3 on
Advanced Placement Examinations except that credit may be recommended for
Calculus BC with a grade of 3. Nine quarter hours of credit will be awarded except
in the case of a laboratory science where the credit will be twelve quarter hours.

Credit may be awarded on the basis of exceptionally high scores on the Subject
Examinations of the College- Level Examination Program (CLEP).

Certain students, upon the recommendation of the department concerned, may
be placed in advanced-level courses. Scores on the Achievement Tests of the
College Board and on tests administered at the College are used in conjunction
with other test scores.

A student may, with the approval of the department concerned, be exempted
from certain distribution requirements for the degree. Exceptionally high scores on
the Achievement Tests of the College Entrance Examination Board or on exemp-
tion tests prepared by the College form the basis for the exemption. Every
freshman, during the summer prior to her entrance in college, is given the
opportunity to request exemption examinations to be administered after her arrival
at the College. Achievement Test scores submitted as part of admissions creden-
tials may also be used.

OTHER CURRICULAR OPPORTUNITIES

Independent Study

Students with proven abihty in a major field may have the opportunity to explore
for themselves some area of intellectual or artistic interest in the major and to
produce independently a piece of work connected with it. Students may begin a
program of Independent Study as early as the spring quarter of the junior year. A
student who wishes to participate in the program makes application to her major
department. Admission to the program is granted by the Committee on Indepen-
dent Study, upon the recommendation of the academic department.

Independent Study carries the course number 490 and may be taken for three,
four, or five hours per quarter with a minimum total of six hours and a maximum of
ten. A minimum of six quarter hours of Independent Study is required for
graduation with high honor.

Special Study

Special Study, offered by most academic departments, is designed for senior
majors who wish to pursue work in some area not included in the department's
existing course offerings. Though it is intended primarily for senior majors within
the department, a few non-majors who present sufficient evidence of preparation
in the discipline may be admitted. Special Study, numbered 410, may be taken for
three or five hours of credit. Applications for admission to the program are
submitted to the Curriculum Committee. Ordinarily a student may take no more
than six hours of4 10 in a single discipline and no more than ten hours of 410 during
her college program. In unusual circumstances, a junior may be admitted to the
program.

Freshman and Sophomore Seminars

Certain academic departments offer special seminars, designated as 190. for
freshmen and sophomores. The courses are limited in enrollment, and a student
may not elect more than one such course in any quarter. Topics vary from year to
year and are announced each spring prior to Course Selection Week.

These seminars carry one hour of academic credit each quarter. Credit earned in
190 courses may not be applied toward satisfying distribution requirements for the
degree .

Agnes Scott Summer Programs

Agnes Scott offers several summer study programs, both abroad and in the
United States. These programs are usually on a rotating basis. Detailed course
descriptions of each program are to be found in the section on Courses of
Instruction. Dates, costs, and other details of the programs are supplied during the
academic year prior to the program. These courses are on the same credit and
quality-point system as those taught in the regular college session and are not
included in the thirty-hour limitation for summer school work elsewhere.

27

Agnes Scott College

There are two summer study programs in biology. Desert Biology (1980) is
taught in the western United States. Marine Biology (1981) is to be taught in
coastal areas of the Southeast.

A number of programs exist outside the United States. They are as follows:
Summer Study in Rome in classics and art history; Summer Study in Germany for
students of German (1980); Summer Study in England and Scotland in British
history (1980); Summer Study in Mexico: Anthropology.

Junior Year Abroad

A qualified student may substitute for the work of the junior year at Agnes Scott
a year of study abroad in an approved program. To be eligible for the junior year
abroad a student must have high standing in the work of the first two years at Agnes
Scott and must be recommended by her major department and the language
department concerned. A number of programs abroad offered by American col-
leges and universities place special emphasis on the study of the language and
culture of another country. Other students, especially in the areas of English and
history, have the opportunity to spend the junior year in a British university.

Students interested in applying for junior year abroad programs should consult
their major departments early in the sophomore year. Written requests to take the
junior year abroad must be filed with the Dean of the College before February 1 of
the sophomore year and must be approved by the Committee on Academic
Standards. Credit for junior year abroad programs is awarded on the basis of a
transcript from an American college or university. In the case of a student pursuing
an independent program at a British university, credit is awarded by the Curricu-
lum Committee upon the recommendation of the departments concerned.

The Washington Semester

Agnes Scott participates in American University's Washington Semester Pro-
gram. Juniors and seniors admitted to the program spend the fall quarter at
American University in Washington. Students of political science have the oppor-
tunity to study and observe the federal government in operation. Policy making as
it relates to international and domestic economic policy is studied by majors in
economics. Science students have the opportunity to learn about national problem
areas such as energy, pollution, and health. Several other programs may be
arranged for students in other disciplines. Agnes Scott students are nominated for
the program by their major departments and apply through the Agnes Scott
coordinator.

Exchange Programs

Agnes Scott College and Mills College, in the San Francisco Bay area, Oak-
land, California, have an agreement whereby students enrolled at either college
may spend a quarter, semester, or year at the other college. Participants in the
program remain enrolled in their home college and pay all fees to the home
college. Students interested in the possibility of attending Mills for a period should
consult the Dean of the College. Permission to take part in this program or in other
programs which may be arranged is given by the Committee on Academic
Standards.

Field Experiences (Internships)

Learning through field experience can be a valuable adjunct to classroom
learning. The College will endeavor to make worthwhile experiences possible for
students whose academic programs would benefit from such opportunities. Aca-
demic credit will be awarded for such established programs as the internship with
the Georgia Legislature and the internship with the Washington Semester Pro-
gram. Credit may be authorized by the Curriculum Committee upon the recom-
mendation of the appropriate department for other field experiences such as the
Governor's Intern Program. A student interested in a field experience for academic
credit should contact the chairman of her major department. Internships carry the
course number 450.

Students are urged to take advantage of other beneficial experiences even
though the awarding of academic credit may seem inappropriate.

PROFESSIONAL PROGRAMS

Teacliing

Agnes Scott has a state-approved program for teaching at the elementary level
and in several secondary fields. A new program for certification in elementary/
general music and/or choral music is offered in 1 980-8 1 . A student who completes
any of these programs satisfactorily is eligible for the Georgia T-4 certificate,
generally accepted throughout the United States. In the case of a few states, certain
specific courses are required; aiTangements can be made to meet these special
requirements as a part of the Agnes Scott degree program.

A student in the professional teacher education program has an opportunity to
observe and to work in a wide variety of school settings. Tutoring opportunities in
schools are open to students at all levels, including freshmen.

Students interested in teaching should consult the Chairman of the Department
of Education and the Chairman of the Department of Music, in the case of students
interested in music certification, as early as the beginning of the freshman year and
no later than the spring quarter of the sophomore year.

Dual Degree Programs vvitli the Georgia Institute of Technology

A student may combine three years of liberal arts studies at Agnes Scott with
two years of specialized work at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Upon
completion of this five-year liberal arts/professional program, the student will be
awarded the Bachelor of Arts degree from Agnes Scott and a bachelor's degree
from Georgia Institute of Technology. The Georgia Tech degree may be in a
variety of engineering fields: in information and computer science, in industrial
management, or in management science. A highly qualified student may be
awarded the second degree at the master's level.

Students interested in the 3-2 program should consult the Agnes Scott dual
degree coordinator as early as possible in the freshman year. Requirements include
certain courses in science, mathematics, and economics. In addition, the student
must select a major and plan a program which will satisfy all distribution require-
ments for the Agnes Scott degree by the end of the junior year and, if the student
should elect to remain at Agnes Scott for the senior year, all requirements for an
Agnes Scott departmental major.

29

Agnes Scott College

Admission to the program at the Georgia Institute of Technology is based on
completion of the requirements stated above and on the recommendation of the
dual degree coordinator at Agnes Scott, currently the chairman of the mathematics
department.

Preparatory Program for Business

For students interested in business careers, the College has selected from its
curriculum a group of courses designed to familiarize them with the skills and
knowledge to facilitate their entrance into business.

The program does not alter requirements for graduation; nor does it constitute a
major. Rather, it is designed to serve as an academic bridge from an undergraduate
liberal arts curriculum into business careers.

Students who choose to follow the program will complete nine of the courses
listed below, including work from at least three disciplines and including Eco-
nomics 204. 205, and 311. In addition, they will complete Mathematics 101 or
Mathematics 120. Their official transcripts will carry the notation that they have
completed the Preparatory Program for Business.

Courses included in the Program:

Economics 204. 205, 303, 309, 310, 311, 312, 313, 317

English 210

Mathematics 101, 115, 120, 121, 150 or 220, 328

Psychology 316

Philosophy 103

Political Science 321

Theatre 107 (or 108 for students entering college prior to 1980)

Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC)

Through a special cross-town arrangement, Agnes Scott students may partici-
pate in the Air Force Reserve Officers Training Corps and in the Naval Reserve
Officers Training Corps at the Georgia Institute of Technology. A student who
completes one of these programs will qualify as a commissioned officer and will be
ordered to active duty in the United States Air Force, the United States Navy, or
the United States Marine Corps.

A student may apply to either program at the beginning of her freshman year or
may choose to apply at the end of the sophomore year. While a student is enrolled
in one of these programs, she will attend certain courses at Georgia Institute of
Technology.

Agnes Scott students are eligible to apply for scholarships under both the Air
Force and the Navy programs. Scholarships cover all educational expenses at
Agnes Scott.

Additional information about either program is available from the respective
ROTC units at the Georgia Institute of Technology or from the Office of the Dean
of the College at Agnes Scott.

The Academic Program

PREPARATION FOR GRADUATE AND PROFESSIONAL STUDY

More than twenty-five percent of each class enters graduate or professional
school immediately after college. A liberal arts program with sound education in
basic disciplines is considered the best preparation for most graduate or profes-
sional work. During her four years at Agnes Scott, a student may satisfy require-
ments for the B.A. degree and at the same time prepare for graduate study or for
entrance into such professional schools as architecture, law. medicine, dentistry,
business, journalism, social service, and education.

A student planning to earn an advanced degree should confer with her major
professor and the Dean of the College as early as possible in order to be aware of
any specific courses needed. Information regarding graduate and professional
schools, fellowships, and standard examinations may be obtained in the office of
the Dean of the College. Law schools, medical schools, and some graduate
schools require special admission tests. Arrangements for taking these tests are the
responsibility of the student.

Medicine

The premedical program at Agnes Scott College allows a student to meet the
requirements for admission to medical school while majoring in any academic
discipline of her choice. Almost all medical schools recognize the importance of a
four-year liberal arts education. Minimum requirements for admission to medical
school can generally be satisfied with two years of chemistry and one year each of
biology, physics, and English. Many institutions require mathematics through
calculus and some advise courses in the behavioral sciences. A student planning a
premedical program should consult the Dean of the College who serves as
premedical adviser. The annual bulletin of the Association of American Medical
Colleges is helpful in listing medical school admission requirements. Arrange-
ments may be made to take the Medical College Admission Test at local centers.

Law

The normal preparation for law school is a four-year course of study in the
liberal arts. No specific courses are prescribed for a prelaw program. In order to
qualify for admission to law school, a student must present a strong undergraduate
record in any major of her choice. The Law School Admission Test is required.
Students interested in studying law should consult the Dean of the College and
their major professors. Copies of the Prelaw Handbook are on file in the office of
the Dean.

Business and Management

A major in almost any academic discipline is suitable preparation for graduate
programs in business and management. Graduate schools are generally interested
in students who have strong liberal arts programs. Students should have mathe-
matics through calculus and at least introductory work in economics and account-
ing.

31

Agnes Scott College

Return To College Program

The Return to College Program provides the opportunity to work toward the
Agnes Scott degree for women whose education has been interrupted. It is
designed for qualified persons who have not had college work and for those who
have already acquired credits toward the B.A. degree. The program is available
also to those who prefer to pursue a course of study as unclassified (non-degree)
students; these students are permitted to earn a maximum of 36 quarter hours of
credit at Agnes Scott.

Admission is possible in the fall, winter, and spring quarters. Requirements
include (1) an application, filed preferably at least a month in advance of the
opening of the quarter; (2) an interview at the college; and (3) a transcript of
record from each school or college previously attended. Inquiries regarding
admission should be directed to the admissions office.

All students enroll in regular college courses, and classified students meet the
same course requirements for the degree as other undergraduates. Students in this
program are not subject, however, to the usual minimum course load requirements
nor are they expected to complete work for the degree in the usual four years. Time
limits for completion for the degree are: (a) four years, if initially classified as a
junior; (b) six years, if initially classified as a sophomore, and (c) eight years, if
initially classified as a freshman.

Students who have obtained a college degree may be admitted to the Return to
College Program as unclassified students. Before registering for a second quarter
of work, they must present for approval astatement of a proposed program of study
to the Assistant Dean of the College, who is special adviser to students in the
Return to College Program.

Requests for exception to any of the above requirements may be directed to the
Committee on Academic Standards and must be approved by the Faculty.

Financial aid is available to Return to College students, whether part-time or
full-time. Information may be obtained from the Assistant Dean of the College and
the Director of Financial Aid.

Academic Regulations

Classification of Students

A classified student is one who has been admitted as a candidate for the Agnes
Scott degree. Students are classified as follows:

Freshmen: students who have earned less than 36 quarter hours of credit.
Sophomores: students who have earned at least 36 quarter hours of credit and a

cumulative quality point ratio of at least 0.50.
Juniors: students who have earned at least 84 quarter hours of credit and a

cumulative quality point ratio of at least 0.75.
Seniors: students who have earned at least 132 quarter hours of credit and a

cumulative quality point ratio of at least 0.91 .

Students who present advanced standing credits will be classified during their
initial quarter at Agnes Scott on the basis of credit hours alone.

32

The Academic Program

An unclassified student is one who is not a candidate for the Agnes Scott degree.
Such students are primarily of three kinds: (a) adults not working toward a degree,
(b) transient students working toward a degree at another institution, and (c) high
school students on a joint enrollment program. Unclassified students are permitted
to earn a maximum of 36 quarter hours of credit at Agnes Scott. Requests for
exception must be directed to the Committee on Academic Standards. Unclassi-
fied students who wish to become candidates for the degree must submit a petition
to the Office of Admissions before completing 36 quarter hours of credit. Once a
student has been given classified status, she may not return to unclassified status.

Registration

All students must register for classes on the dates announced in the College
Calendar. A $10 fee is charged for late registration. No student is allowed to
register after the tenth day of the quarter.

Students already in residence pre-register for the next session during Course
Selection Week in the spring quarter. Entering freshmen receive instructions from
the office of the Dean of the College in the early summer and file a preliminary
selection of courses in July . They consult special advisers for final course selection
after they arrive in September. Entrance into any course is prohibited after the
tenth day of the quarter.

A course of study which has been approved may be changed only in accordance
with posted instructions. No new course may be elected after the first ten days of a
quarter, and no shift from letter-grade basis to pass-fail or pass-fail to letter-grade
may be made after the first ten days of a quarter.

No course may be dropped after the first month of each quarter. Dates are posted
in September.

Withdrawal

A student who withdraws during the session for reasons other than suspension or
dismissal must obtain a withdrawal card from the Dean of Students or the Dean of
the College. The student is not officially withdrawn until the card is on file in the
Registrar's office.

Course Loads

The normal academic load is from fourteen to eighteen hours per quarter.
Students may take a minimum load of twelve hours for a total of three out of the six
quarters comprising the freshman and sophomore years. Juniors and seniors are
permitted to elect one quarter of thirteen hours each year, provided the total
number of hours elected for the year is at least forty-two. Students may petition the
Committee on Academic Standards for other exceptions to the normal course load.
Students in the Return to College Program are not subject to the limitations for
minimum course loads.

33

Agnes Scott College

Auditing

Classified students may audit courses with written permission from the Dean of
the College. The student's previous academic record and the number of credit
hours being carried are factors considered. Permission for auditing is given during
the first two class days of each quarter.

Class Attendance

Attendance at academic sessions is not mandatory, with the exceptions noted
below, but the responsibility for work missed is entirely that of the individual
student.

Attendance at all academic appointments is required of students on academic
probation and of all freshmen during the fall quarter. These students are permitted
one cut in each class during the quarter.

Attendance at tests announced at least a week in advance is mandatory.

Examinations

Examinations are self-scheduled and are held at the end of each quarter. With
the exception of a few examinations scheduled in advance because of the nature of
the course or the size of the class, a student may take any examination that she
chooses at any of the times set for examinations.

A student who because of illness is unable to complete examinations during the
regular period may take the examinations in question at the time scheduled for re-
examinations. Re-examinations are permitted in the case of conditional failure and
are given in the first week of the next quarter.

Grades

Grades indicating the student's standing in any course are officially recorded as
follows: A, excellent; B, good; C, average; D, passing; E, conditional failure with
the privilege of re-examination; F, failure. Grades for courses taken on a pass-fail
basis are recorded as P or F.

A student may elect a total of ten quarter hours of regular course work on a pass-
fail basis during the junior and senior years. Courses taken to meet the distribution
and specific requirements for the degree, regular courses in the student's major
subject, and certain courses in the teacher education program may not be elected
on a pass-fail basis.

All grades on field placements (internships) will be recorded as either pass or
fail. This option is in addition to the ten quarter hours of pass-fail work in regular
courses. It also constitutes an exception to the general rule that no work in the
major department may be taken on a pass-fail basis. A student's intention to elect
pass-fail courses must be signified to the Registrar by the tenth day of the quarter.

Grades (except for courses taken on pass-fail basis) 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 the
degree, see sections on the classification of students and requirements for the
degree.

34

The Academic Program

Quarter grades in year or two-quarter courses are progress reports only. Credit
and quality points are based on the final official grade and are given only on
completion of the entire course.

Grade reports are issued to students at the end of each quarter. They are sent to
parents who have filed a written request and whose daughters are dependents
according to Internal Revenue Code of 1954, Section 152.

Graduation Honors

A student is eligible to graduate With Honor if she attains a cumulative grade
point ratio of 2 .40 and has maintained this minimum level of work while classified
as a Junior and Senior (figured on a cumulative basis for all work completed while
so classified). It is understood that in figuring the cumulative basis for the work
while classified as a Junior and Senior, year grades will be used in the case of year-
long courses rather than progress grades as reported by the quarter. In the case of
students on leaves of absence this will be figured on the basis of the last six quarters
in residence. A student must also receive the recommendation of her major
department.

A student is eligible to graduate With High Honor if she attains a cumulative
grade point ratio of 2.70 and has maintained this minimum level of work while
classified as a Junior and Senior (figured on a cumulative basis for all work
completed while so classified). It is understood that in figuring the cumulative
basis for the work while classified as a Junior and Senior, year grades will be used
in the case of year- long courses rather than progress grades as reported by the
quarter. In the case of students on leaves of absence this will be figured on the basis
of the last six quarters in residence. A student must also have completed a
minimum of 6 credit hours of independent study distributed over two quarters and
receive the recommendation of her major department.

Honor Roll is based on quality point ratios earned in a given academic session.
Requirements are posted.

Academic Review and Discipline

The work of each student is reviewed at the end of every quarter. A student
whose work is unsatisfactory will be placed on academic probation. Academic
probation serves as a warning to the student that her work must improve. A student
whose work continues to be unsatisfactory may be subject to academic dismissal.

A full-time student will be subject to academic dismissal is she fails to earn a
minimum of thirty quarter hours of degree credit in any academic session. She will
be subject to academic dismissal if she fails to make appropriate class standing for
two successive years or if she has been on academic probation for two consecutive
quarters.

An unclassified student's eligibility to continue her work at Agnes Scott will be
determined by the Dean of the College, subject to confirmation by the Committee
on Academic Standards.

35

Agnes Scott College

Acceleration

A student may receive permission from the Dean of the College and her major
department to complete degree requirements in nine, ten, or eleven quarters. This
acceleration may be accomplished in any of the following ways: (1) entering with
Advanced Placement credits based on College Entrance Examination Board Ad-
vanced Placement Examinations; (2) carrying excess course loads during regular
sessions; (3) attending either summer sessions at other institutions or an Agnes
Scott summer program.

Summer School

Students may attend summer sessions in accredited colleges and universities.
Their courses must be approved in advance by the Dean of the College.

A maximum of eighteen quarter hours will be approved for a single summer
session, and a maximum total of thirty quarter hours of summer work may be
counted toward the Agnes Scott degree. A grade of C or above must be made in
each course.

Academic Counseling

Academic counseling is coordinated in the Office of the Dean of the College.
Each new student, prior to her arrival on the campus, is assigned to a faculty
adviser. Where possible, this adviser teaches in the student's area of special
interest and works with the student until she declares a major at the end of the
sophomore year. The Class Dean for Freshmen and Sophomores coordinates this
program.

The chairman of her major department becomes a student's academic adviser
for the junior and senior years. Supplementary counseling of upperclassmen is the
responsibility of the Assistant Dean.

The Dean and her assistants, members of the Faculty , and the Director of Career
Planning share in advising students and alumnae about plans for graduate and
professional programs.

Current economic theory is taught with reference to past thought and theory so as
to emphasize the evolutionary character of the development of economics as a

The curriculum of the Department of English is constructed to give the student a
breadth of knowledge and depth of understanding of English and American
literature and to provide her the opportunity to learn to read literature with
perception and delight and to write about it critically and imaginatively.

A student majoring in English is required to take work in medieval literature,
sixteenth-century English literature, seventeenth- or eighteenth-century English
literature, nineteenth-century English literature, and American literature. She has
a choice of courses within each required area and a choice of electives in these or
other fields, especially in modern British and American literature, to complete her
major hours. In addition to the basic English major the department offers a major in
English and Creative Writing and interdepartmental majors in Art History-English
Literature and History-English Literature. With the approval of the department a
student may also design a program of concentrated study in which she emphasizes
her major interests in literature and chooses complementary courses from other
disciplines. For example, she may plan a program in medieval studies. Renais-
sance studies, or American studies. The department provides the opportunity for
its majors to study at British universities in the junior year and to participate in
internships in the senior year.

All advanced literature courses in the department have as a prerequisite English
2 1 1 (9 hours) or one of its equivalents: a combination of English 211(6 hours) and

The history curriculum offers courses in five major areas: Early United States;
Modem United States; Early Europe, including Great Britain; Modem Europe;
and Africa and Asia. Students who major in history may concentrate in any of
these areas but must also fulfill the distribution requirement which ensures that at
least some work will be done in several different fields of historical study. A
student's probable area of major interest should be considered in her selection of
introductory courses.

Periodically the department offers a program of summer study in Great Britain.

The curriculum in the Department of Mathematics is designed to help students
to think clearly and logically, to analyze problems, to understand and be able to use
the language, theory, and techniques of mathematics, and to develop skills and
acquire mathematical tools needed in the application of mathematics.

The courses offered give mathematics majors a solid background for graduate
study, teaching at the secondary school level, and employment in government and
industry .

The chairman of the department makes a recommendation about the appropriate
placement in a mathematics course for each entering student. Students who wish to
be considered for exemption from Mathematics 120 must take the departmental
exemption examination prior to the beginning of classes. Students who are
planning to major in mathematics should take Mathematics 120-121 in the fresh-
man year.

The Department of Music provides a curriculum designed to prepare its majors
for graduate study and the professional music world . It also seeks to meet the needs
of non-majors through a variety of courses in music appreciation and applied
music. The guiding philosophy in all instruction is that music is a humanistic, not a
mechanistic discipline, and is a central part of a true liberal arts education.

A student interested in teaching music on the elementary or secondary level in
the public schools is invited to consider the Teacher Certification Program in
Music. This program, offered in conjunction with the Department of Education,
prepares a student to teach elementary /general music and/or choral music and
leads to a T-4 certificate to teach in the public schools of Georgia.

A student interested in music, art, and theatre is invited to consider the interde-
partmental major in Fine Arts.

Philosophy

Associate Professor: Richard D. Parry (Chairman)
Assistant Professor: David P. Behan'

The department offers two approaches to philosophy on the beginning level: the
systematic and the historical. Although the two approaches are not strictly sepa-
rate, they each have different emphases. The systematic approach deals with
issues in philosophy, e.g. ethics, without necessarily concentrating on the histori-
cal development of the issue. The historical approach traces the development of
issues through a portion of the history of philosophy. The systematic beginning
courses are: 102, 103, 104, 106, 230, 232. The historical beginning courses are
206, 209; the latter courses are best taken in historical sequence.

The requirements for a major program in philosophy embody two goals. First,
the student will learn, through close work with original sources, the ideas of the
major figures in philosophy, ancient through contemporary. Second, the student
will learn and practice techniques of careful analysis and constructive reasoning
which are the heart of philosophy as a living discipline.

It is the purpose of the Department of Physical Education to assist students in
their physical, mental, and social development through a program of regular
physical activity. Physical education is required of all students three hours a week
during the first two years. Students entering with advanced standing credits, but
with additional credit to earn in physical education, are required to take physical
education in their first quarter or quarters of residence.

Students who must be limited in physical activity should have a physician's
statement filed with the Dean of the College.

During the fall quarter, freshmen must elect one of the following activities: field
hockey, dance, or swimming.

86

Physical Education

Students may not receive physical education credit for more than two quarters of
the same activity at the same level.

The physical education program includes a wide variety of activities which
accommodate varying levels of skills and abilities. In order to complete a diverse
program, students select courses from at least three of the five areas listed below:

Aquatics: Intermediate swimming, synchronized swimming, advanced lifesav-
ing. Red Cross instructor's course in water safety.

Dance: Beginning and intermediate contemporary dance, ballet, jazz, tap, folk,
square, and social dance.

Physics and Astronomy

Assistant Professors: Arthur L. Bowling, Jr. (Chairman)
Robert S. Hyde

The training acquired through concentration in Physics or Physics-Astronomy
provides a solid, technical foundation for later graduate study and professional
work in physics, astronomy, and the applied fields of engineering and geo-
physics. Students who wish to major in physics are encouraged, but not required,
to take Physics 210 during their freshman year.

Students considering the Astronomy-Physics major should elect the introduc-
tory astronomy sequence (Astronomy 121, 122, 123) and Math 120-121 during
their freshman year. Physics 210 is normally taken during the sophomore year, but
the well-prepared student is encouraged to enroll in this course during her fresh-
man year.

Introductory astronomy courses are open to both science and non-science
majors and incorporate the use of the Bradley Observatory's 30-inch Beck tele-
scope. Most astronomy courses require some observational activities in the Brad-
ley Observatory.

Assistant Professors: Augustus B. Cochran, III (Chairman)
Steven A. Haworth

The political science curriculum offers courses in four subfields: American
politics, international relations, comparative politics, and political theory. A
major may concentrate in any of these areas. Introductory courses correspond to
these subfields, allowing a prospective major to choose her initial courses accord-
ing to her primary interests. The department does require, however, that majors
take courses in at least three subfields. Majors are required also to undertake an
individual research project to ensure experience in political science research
methods. This requirement may be fulfilled either through the seminar in research
methodology or a program of independent study. An optional senior seminar
permits an intensive exploration of topics selected annually to reflect the interests

Theatre

Professor: Jack T. Brooking (Chairman)
Assistant Professor: John W. Toth

Instructor: Dudley W. Sanders

The goal of the Department of Theatre is to establish high standards of creativity
and appreciation in order to enhance the theatre experience as a facet of the liberal
arts tradition. This is accomplished through a program which interrelates theory,
history, and practice. With the Winter Theatre as the laboratory, all aspects of the
theatre arts may be studied in close association with the creative process of the
produced play.

Students who are planning to major in theatre should consult with the chairman
of the theatre department early in their college careers. It would be advantageous
for prospective majors to complete Theatre 100. 104, 106, and 108 as soon as
possible since they form a working basis for the more advanced courses. The
theatre major must fulfill a core of basic courses which stresses the interrelation-
ship of three key areas: introduction and history, creative exploration and experi-

Agnes Scott College

Alumnae Association 1979-1980

Organized in 1895, the Alumnae Association of Agnes Scott College has as its
purpose the furtherance of the intellectual, spiritual, and financial aims of the
College. All former students who earned any academic credit while in college are
members of the Association. Its work is done under the authority of an Executive
Board elected by the membership and composed of officers; committee chairmen;
and, ex officio, the director of alumnae affairs, the coordinator for clubs, and the
assistant to the director.

The Anna Young Alumnae House is operated as the international headquarters
of the Alumnae Association and as the guest house for the College. The Associa-
tion publishes The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly, conducts the alumnae division
of the Agnes Scott Fund, maintains files of information on more than 9,000
alumnae, and keeps alumnae aware of the nature of the College today.
j Volunteer committees work with alumnae clubs and individuals throughout the
I United States and various other countries, corresponding with class officers,
offering programs of continuing education for alumnae, arranging special interest
tours, planning class reunions, suggesting fund-raising projects, acting as alumnae
admissions representatives for the College, and presenting career conferences for
students and special events for the College or alumnae groups. The Alumnae
Association seeks to make alumnae opinions available to the College and to make
Agnes Scott alumnae an active force in education.
