THE BETA OF GEORGIA CHAPTER OF
PHI BETA KAPPA

By Cleo Hearon

The opening of Agnes Scott was made especially notable this year by
the announcement that a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa had been granted to the
college by the council of the United Chapters assembled in New York. The
announcement was received with enthusiasm as a formal recognition of the
high academic standards of Agnes Scott by the honor society of scholars in
America.

A chapter of Phi Beta Kappa is coveted by colleges and universities
because of the honorable history of the society and the high place it holds
in the academic world today.

The society, at first an undergraduate secret society differing little
from other early college societies, was organized at William and Mary
College, December 5, 1776. In its origin it is contemporary with our
independence and many of its early members played an active part in the
Revolution. But the ideals of friendship and scholarship formulated by
the little band of students in a small college in the youth of the country were
worthy of perpetuation not only in William and Mary, but in other higher
institutions of learning throughout America. In 1778 a charter was granted
for a chapter at Harvard and in 1780 for one at Yale. At the end of the
first hundred years there were twenty-five chapters; secrecy had been abol-
ished, and the fraternity had become the national academic honor society.
In 1881 the chapters were formed into a national organization known as the
United Chapters of Phi Beta Kappa. Women were first admitted in 1875,
in a co-educational institution, the University of Vermont; and Vassar in
1898, was the first woman's college, not a co-educational college, to which
a chapter was granted. In 1924 there were ninety-nine chapters, and eight
charters were granted for new chapters in September, 1925.

From the time that Agnes Scott was recognized as a college, the
Phi Beta Kappa members of the faculty, under the leadership of Professor
Armistead, were interested in obtaining a chapter of the honor society for
the college, but conforming to the well established policy of Agnes Scott
they resolved not to petition for a charter until they were fully assured that
the college measured up to every requirement for recognition. In the mean-
time, they organized Gamma Tau Alpha on the principles of Phi Beta
Kappa to honor the members of the senior class who attained the standards
of the national society.

Just as the Phi Beta Kappa group in the faculty were ready to
petition the United Chapters for a charter for a chapter at Agnes Scott, the
method of granting charters was changed, and they were informed that hence-
forth a college must wait for an invitation to petition for a charter. Under
the regulations that went into effect in 1922, two-thirds of the chapters of
the South Atlantic section in the fall of 1924 recommended Agnes Scott to
the Senate as worthy of a chapter, and the Phi Beta Kappa members of the

faculty were invited by Dr. Voorhees, Secretary of the United Chapters, to
apply for a charter:

After personal investigation by Dr. Voorhees. and the president. Dr.
Thwing, and the careful examination of reports and questionnaires by the
Senate, the conferring of a charter was recommended by that body, and
granted September 9th. by the Council of delegates from the chapters
assembled in New York.

The proceedings in the session of the National Council in which the
charter was granted are gratifying to every graduate of the college. When
Agnes Scott was taken up for consideration, delegates from five chapters rose
for recognition. The chair recognized only two. Washington and Lee
University urged the granting of a charter to Agnes Scott not only in recog-
nition of the high standards of the college but also in recognition of the
services that it had rendered to the cause of academic standards in its section.
Miss Wooley, of Mount Holyoke, was permitted to say a word. She
declared that three years ago she had visited Agnes Scott and was convinced
then that the college was worthy of a chapter. No delegate wishing to
speak in the negative, the vote was taken and Agnes Scott was granted
a charter by the highest vote received by any of the colleges before the
council for consideration.

On September 24, the Phi Beta Kappa members of the faculty were
formally notified by Dr. Voorhees that a charter had been granted on
their petition and requested to arrange for the installation of the Beta of
Georgia chapter in Agnes Scott College.

The charter members of the Beta of Georgia chapter are as follows:

Professor Lillian S. Smith, Ph.D. Syracuse, 1904.

Professor Samuel Guerry Stukes. A.B., A.M.. B.D. Davidson. 1923.

Professor Cleo Hearon. Ph.D., Chicago, 1914.

Professor Robert B. Holt. B.A., M.S. Wisconsin, 1901.

Associate Professor Muriel Harn. Ph.D. Gouchcr. 1915.

Miss Coma Cole. A.M. Duke. 1922.

In a meeting of the charter members, September 30. Dr. McCain was
elected a Foundation member of the chapter and will take part in the work
of organization. The members counted themselves fortunate in being able
under the rules of the society to elect Dr. McCain to membership before
the installation of the chapter, for much of the success of the movement
for a charter for Agnes Scott is due to him. From the beginning he was
keenly interested, and he helped in the forming of plans and was untiring
in answering questionnaires and preparing statements concerning the
academic standards and financial affairs of the college.

The installation of the chapter will probably take place in February.
Both President Thwing and Dr. Voorhees have accepted invitations to be
present. The alumnae members will be chosen in the meantime and all
new members will be presented for initiation at the installation.

A LOYAL RESPONSE

If you were one of the two hundred odd Agnes Scott alumnae who
gathered at East Lake Country Club two years ago in May for the annual
luncheon of the General Association, you cannot have forgotten the occasion,
for it was unique in the long succession of alumnae luncheons. Our leader
of thirty years service was gone, and we paused to give expression to our sor-
row. Our new leader was with us. and we paused again to pledge him the
loyal support of the Agnes Scott Alumnae as he took up the work. You
remember as well as I the thrill of that pledge as Essie Roberts DePre, with
charming naivete and sincerity, in true ex-service style pledged our loyalty
"to a man." I believe that the alumnae have been taking up that pledge
during these two years of President McCain's leadership, and I am writing
this today because it seems to me we have a fresh evidence of loyalty which
is certain to interest all readers of the Quarterly.

Just about a year ago, Miss McKinney's great desire to increase the
effectiveness and enrich the appeal of the English collection in our college
library inspired in her resourceful brain the bright idea of sending out a per-
sonal appeal to a number of our privileged alumnae who were in a position
to answer the call. Of the number of personal letters written by Miss Mc-
Kinney, only two failed to elicit a response. All the replies were full of
enthusiasm and expressions of interest; a very large per cent contained con-
tributions to the book fund. In the space of a few months the fund has
reached $650.00. The names of these loyal alumnae will be of general
interest and it is only their due that public mention be made of their gen-
erosity. A cursory glance at the list will assure us that their interest in
Agnes Scott has stood the test of time and distance. The contributors are:

Lena (Orr) McCarthey, ex '97, Chicago.

Margaret (Cannon) Howell, ex '98. Atlanta.

Jean (Ramspeck) Harper, '00, Philadelphia.

Susan (Young) Eagan, ex '99, Atlanta.

Lucy (Candler) Heinz, ex '03, Atlanta.

Ada (Hooper) Keith, ex '95. Selma. Ala.

Olive (Carothers) Burke, ex '06, Lakeland, Fla.

Laura (Caldwell) Edmonds, '02. Portland, Oregon.

Bell (Jones) Horton, ex '95, Tuscaloosa, Ala.

Annie Graham King, '06, Selma, Ala.

Mabel McKowen, '05, Lindsay, La.

To these contributions another was added by the Executive Committee
of the General Association, the committee expressing in this form its ap-
preciation of Miss McKinney's unselfish services in organizing last year for
the Association three branches in widely separate cities.

The largest single contribution to the fund came from an old time
friend of Miss McKinney's a friend who is not an alumna, but who has
earned the lasting gratitude of us all. This gift came from Mr. Walter Rob-

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly 5

ertson of Norfolk, Va., who started the fund with a two hundred dollar
check, and such an inspiring letter that faintheartedness would have been
cowardice. And best of all, he assured us that his interest will continue to
follow our efforts. We take this occasion of making acknowledgment to
Mr. Robertson (believing that he will be interested enough to read our
Quarterly), and of presenting him to the Agnes Scott Alumnae as a friend
indeed.

Miss McKinney has shared with the other members of the English
faculty the joy of selecting the books and with their thoughtful co-opera-
tion several well-considered book-lists have been made. Already one hun-
dred and twenty volumes have been purchased, among them the nineteen
volumes of Variorum Shakespere, many good books on Shakespere, on 19th
century English poetry, on American Literature, a number of notable biog-
raphies, and some books of general interest, such as a book on costumes.

One half of the money in hand has already been spent and another list
is now ready to be sent to the publishers. These books are to be cataloged
at once and placed on the shelves where they will be accessible to the entire
college community.

We believe that Miss McKinney has "started something"; that this
is the auspicious beginning of larger things: that she has pointed out to the
alumnae who are eager to bring intelligent aid. a definite way to meet one
of the needs (perhaps a more intangible need that may not appeal to the pub-
lic at large) of our rapidly growing college.

RIVER THOUGHT

Elizabeth Cheatham. '2 5

I came into this lovely place to sing,
All for my own delight, the beaten gold
Of this wide river, and the manifold
Bright crimson beauty that the maples fling.
Whispers of waving grasses I would bring
For my small song, and sunlight, and the bold
Rush of the river's sound. I would have sold
High heaven's beauty and that bird's blue wing!

Then, then, I heard the deep voice of the river

Rising up in tones most vast and clear

In song of untold beauty, thrilling high.

Bowed I inarticulate, aquiver

With glad humility that I might hear,

Amazed that I had thought of singing I!

BOOK REVIEWS

PORGY

DuBose HEYWARD
"Porgy, Maria, and Bess.
Robbins, and Peter, and Crown;
Life was a three-stringed harp
Brought from the woods to town.

Marvelous tunes you rang
From Passion, and death, and birth.
You who have laughed and wept.
On the warm, brown lap of the earth.

Now in your untried hands
An instrument, terrible, new,
Is thrust by a master who frowns
Demanding strange songs of you.

God of the white and black,
Grant us great hearts on the way
That wc may understand
Until you have learned to play."

With this poem of dedication begins "Porgy", a negro novel by Du-
Bose Heyward. It is an adventure into new territory new for the poet-
author, as this is his first novel, new for the readers, as he has here captured
the little-known lives and the strange mercurial moods of an uncivilized race
in the heart of a civilized community. It could have been written only by
a southerner, one who has lived among negroes, who has known them
their shiftlessness, their deep, religious emotions, their sufferings, and their
loyalties and knowing, has understood and loved them.

Porgy, a lame beggar about whom the story centers, was something of
a dreamer. lie was happy to move along in his goatcart on the busy streets
where many bright coins would fall, jingling, into his cup, but he found a
deeper contentment when he could settle himself and his goat on a quiet
doorstep where he could sit for hours, uninterrupted, lost in wistful medi-
tation. Life, for him, was tense only in times of religious emotion when
he could sway his body back and forth, singing out "O my Jedus" and "Yes,
my Lord" in answer to prayers: or in the great moments of crap games
when he crooned fond medleys to his beloved dice, witching them, as the
other negroes complained, with soft words like, "O. little stars, roll me some
light! Roll me a sun an' moon." From one of these games sprang the
tragedy which wound its meshes around the life of Porgy, bringing love and
suffering, success and loneliness.

Laughter and life, tears and death, move human hearts whether the
participants in the enacting drama are black or white of skin. The fact that
they are black in this story of "Porgy" and that they are drawn with ex-
quisiteness of detail and understanding makes this novel one of the most
significant of negro novels since Rene Maran's "Batouala." It has all the

8 The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

wildness of the moods of the savages in "Batouala," with the added eccen-
tricities of a religion which has not overcome superstition and a civilization
that has not civilized. The great parade of "The Sons and Daughters of
Repent Ye Saith the Lord" is in its clashing discords of music and its garish
colors, not unlike the wild celebrations of Batouala and his people in African
woods. After reading it. one has much the same impression of the negro
as aTter reading Vachel Lindsay's "Congo" in both there is the wild,
exotic rhythm, superstitions, and beliefs.

GOD'S STEPCHILDREN

Sarah Gertrude Millin. Boni and Liveright

Another novel dealing with people of black skin is "God's Stepchild-
ren." In contrast to the setting of "Porgy", we have here a milieu in the
south of Africa. It is more of a problem novel than "Porgy", dealing with
the sad question of those who are cursed with white blood, but having
even so much as a drop of negro blood, are considered negroes. In the
fashion of many authors of today, the story is carried through three genera-
tions and we see men and women striving against the curse of their birth,
having some of the refined instincts of their-white ancestry and some of the
physical characteristics of their black forefathers. The story could only
be one of pathos. A young Hottentot, listening to a missionary explain
that all human beings are God's children, replied, "Then we must be God's
stepchildren". In spite of the pathos, the ending of the story is satisfying,
though the problems are not all solved, for the development of fineness of
character and unselfish, sacrificial devotion cannot be all tragedy.

IRONY

(Note: This poem won the prize offered by the Poetry Society of South Carolina.
It was published in the Society's Year Book.)

The fairy quite forgotten entered late.
Uninvited to his christening and birth.
She came to bring him gifts in angry mirth.
Announced officiously that she was Fate.
And laughed aloud and fawned to hide her hate.
She gave to him an ugly body first,
And then, because she wished him doubly cursed.
She gave a love of beauty far too great.
And now a careless, mocking word or jeer
Can stab him quick and cleanly like a blade.
And leave him trembling with a wound more deep
Than friends can know, who only see his queer
Dull face and awkward form, and not the shade
Of beauty's holiness his heart can keep.

THE REUNION CLASSES CELEBRATE

THE CLASSES OF '95, 00, '05, '10, '15,
'20, '22, '24 ATTEND REUNION

THE NAUGHTY-NAUGHT'S
REUNION

It is really thrilling to be a quarter of
a centry Agnes Scott alumna. This was
the feeling of all those who gathered at com-
mencement time for the class reunion of
1900. There were five class members pres-
ent out of eight, and we came perilously near
winning the silver cup for the largest per
centage of class attendance. If the class
of 1910 had not filed out at midnight the
night before reunion day and brought in .
neighboring member, we would have won.

Three of our members were unable to
attend. Mrs. George Howe, of Yonkers, N.
Y., was present after an absence of twenty-
five years from the campus. She brought
us greetings on Class Reunion Day, and is
going to further prove her love and loyalty
to Agnes Scott by sending her daughters to
us in the near future.

The reunion luncheon was held at the
home of Mrs. Lewis Gaines in Atlanta,
where we spent a pleasant hour or two to-
gether talking of old days at Agnes Scott.

Since our reunion a distinct honor has
come to a member of the class. Miss Mary
Barker, of Atlanta, was elected president of
the American Federation of Teachers at the
annual meeting in Chicago. Miss Barker
has made her mark in educational work in
Atlanta and we are glad of this recent re-
cognition of her ability.

But all things have an end, even twen-
ty-fifth reunions. We only hope that all
the young alumnae will be as happy in
their Alma Mater as the class of 1900.

E. A. G.

WE WON THAT CUP!

The class of 1910 has been earnestly be-
sought to send in an account of their re-
union to this quarterly, but their heads are
so high in the air over winning the silver
loving-cup offered for the largest per cent
attendance, that they cannot be prevailed
upon to do so. Another reason they have
no reunion write-up is that they say it is
utterly impossible for mere words pounded

out on a mere typewriter (or written with
pen and ink which is even mere-er) to
express the glorious good time they had at
commencement. Suffice it to say that their
radio class stunt was quite the cleverest im-
aginable, and the abundance of pep they dis-
played (led by Annie Smith, the author of
"the Purple and the White") proved con-
clusively that although 1910 has been out
of college fifteen long years, "there's life
in the old girl yet! "

'20 REUNES WITH SMALL NUMBERS
BUT MUCH ENTHUSIASM

When the class of '20 returned last com-
mencement for its first five-year reunion, it
was prouder of Alma Mater and of the prog-
ress in the Alumnae Association than ever
before. The Trustees showed us their ap-
preciation of what we have done by their
lovely luncheon, having as guests the faculty,
Seniors, Reunion Classes, and alumnae in
general. That affair on Saturday of Com-
mencement was a gala occasion for Rebekah
Scott dining-hall. The walls rang with
merriment and echoed the gay chatter of all
of us who had come back. Our hearts were
thrilled to hear about the new gymnasium
and to see where a beginning had been made,
and then to hear Gertrude Manly McFar-
land's sister. (Martha Lin. the president of
the Senior class), tell about the "greatness"
of the graduating class. Just think of eigh-
ty girls going out from Agnes Scott at one
time, and remember how big we thought
we were with our forty-two!

Not all of our forty-two came back for
reunion, of course. More would have made
the effort, if they could have realized what
joys were in store. We who were there
consoled ourselves by believing that we could
do as well as the class of '10. the prize win-
ner, and some other far-back classes, after
our babies had gotten old enough to leave
and the teacher members were experienced
enough to manage to get off for Alumnae
Reunions.

Alice Cooper and Lois (Mclntyre) Beall

Moore, since then Mrs. McAulay. took time
from her trousseau shopping to enjoy the
meetings. "Crip" Slack came for one day
the only day she could get off from her
duties at LaGrange. Doesn't that show the
real Agnes Scott spirit? And all of us had
such a good time that we felt sorry for those
who had to miss it.

At the business meeting of the Alumnae
Association all the officers and committees
gave very encouraging reports that showed
how much we have grown in the last five
years.

Monday afternoon, just after the class re-
union luncheons, we all adjourned to the
lawn behind the Alumnae House for our
class stunts, and they were all so original
and clever that I know it was hard for the
committee to decide which was best. 1910
won. and had the best representation, too.
Will '20 have to wait fifteen years for this
honor? We ought to come back with fly-
ing colors after ten years, so let's all plan
now for our reunion in 1930.

Girls of 1920. ask yourselves these ques-
tions: Have you ever seen our Anna Young
Alumnae House? Have you ever spent a
night there? Or examined the lovely room
our class has furnished? Have you ever
seen the recently completed gymnasium and
auditorium? They say Miss Randolph and
Dr. Sweet fairly beam with pride over their
new workshop, and I know Miss Gooch
and the Blackfriars will when those purple
velvet curtains swing back on their first per-
formance. Changes may make you sad.
but don't they make you happy too when
they are progressive? Come back and see
what else we have to boast of on the cam-
pus. M. M. McA.

THIRTEEN REUNITE WITH "22

(Written by One Suffering with Acute

Arlenitis. )
There was a Reunion. There have been
many reunions; and as long as the middle
class continues to function academically there
will probably be many more reunions. But
to us as we met there, twittering about first
one thing and another, there was only A
Reunion. From the walks of life we had
come, thus and so. possessed with the ideal
idea. The ideal idea, according to present-
day customs, must be concealed by blatant

mirth and raucus enthusiasm: it is so re-
pressed that it is never mentioned by one
Nordic to another Nordic for then it would
become tangible, and everyone knows that
a perfect ideal idea must be intangible.

And while we thought deeply we spoke
lightly of this and of that, and many ears
of our missing contemporaries must have
burned alarmingly. Perhaps they would
like to know who started all those rumors.
It must have been and doubtless was any or
all of the thirteen: Jeannette Archer. Nell
Buchanan, Catherine (Dennington) Jervey,
Mary Floding, Marion Hull. Mary Knight,
Ruth (Laughon) Dyer, Ruth Pirkle. Harriet
(Scott) Bowen. Martha Lee Taliaferro,
Ivelyn Giradeau, Ethel Ware, and Elizabeth
Wilson.

We discussed, we cheered, we sang, we
put our best foot forward, we became ut-
terly and ungracefully entangled in that ex-
hausting thing called "college spirit ". And
the ideal idea fluttered in a vague sort of
way. (You may not entirely comprehend
this, but if you do. it will probably mean
something.)

E. W.

THE THRILLS OF THAT FIRST
REUNION

Since practically all of the members of
'24 who returned to our first hilarious re-
union are hard-handed daughters of toil,
working for hard-hearted bosses, commence-
ment had progressed as far as noon on Sat-
urday before most of '24 showed up. But
we managed to arrive in time for the Trus-
tee's luncheon to the faculty, senior class,
and alumnae in Rebeccah Scott dining-room,
at two o'clock. When, at three minutes after
two the dining-room doors still remained
closed. Mr. Tart was the only person in the
lobby to bewail the fact that we weren't
beginning on time, for all of the old grads.
among whom we proudly count ourselves,
were having a glorious time meeting old
friends and shrieking with joy over each
new arrival.

Some angel from heaven must have taken
a social secretary's course, and then sat up
all night a couple of times to have arranged
the placecards so beautifully, for after wind-
ing around in that labyrinth of tables for
fifteen minutes and reading hundreds of
placecards, while all the time the horrible

sensation that you had been overlooked sank
into your heart, could anything be sweeter
than to find yourself between two members
of your own class, with your sister class just
across the table? The menu began with
grapefruit, and before the first shot could
be fired, '24. to a man. lifted their napkins
from their laps and tucked them securely in
their necks. Should these brand-new dresses
that we had bought with our own first
salary checks be spotted by grapefruit?
Never! We are still wondering what the
older grads and the seniors whose bills are
paid by husbands and poppers (respectively),
thought of us. But at the time we were too
happy over being together again to care.
The luncheon was perfect, from the angle
of the company, the speakers, the menu, and
any other angles which may have escaped us.
Then the roll was called and the different
classes were asked to rise. '24 found that we
had returned twenty-three strong. we
might say twenty-four strong, for the one
of our number who had annexed a husband,
had him in tow.

After luncheon, we streamed into "that
Prophylactic Hall" for the annual alumnae
association meeting, and when that was
over, the afternoon was also. There was
just time to rush over to the Alumnae House
(the sewing-room had been lined with
cots and was our headquarters) and dress
for supper, and the recital afterwards. We
attended the recital en masse, and in the in-
termissions discovered dozens of other old
alumnae that we had not Si'en at lunch.
After the recital, we wandered around the
campus in little groups of threes and fours,
visited all our favorite spots and professors,
and made pop-calls on "students we have
known".

Sunday, we marched in the academic pro-
cession over to the Decatur Presbyterian
Church for the Baccalaureate sermon: is it
only one short year since we sat there in
cap and gown?

Monday is Alumnae Day, as well as Class
Day. Our class luncheon was held in the
Silhouette Tea-room and verily, verily, it
was an occasion when one might truly say,
"a good time was had by all". The class
roll was called and the following girls
answered "present": Amis, Arnold, Bivings,
Brown, Davidson, Dobbs, Ficklen, (Gilli-

land) Stukes. Greene, Howie. King, Mc-
Dow. McMurry. Morton, Ordway. Peck.
Powell. Scandrett, Smith. D. F.. Smith, M.,
Stone.

We may as well admit it: such gossiping
was done at that table as was never heard
before, and probably will not be again until
our next reunion in 1927. Every member
present was made to tell the story of her life
since last we met. mentally, morally, spirit-
ually, physically, financially, and matrimo-
nially. And the things we didn't surmise
about the absent members! Of course we
sang. Our own song, "Hail, Agnes Scott,
we sing to thee." and all the rest, with more
vim than tune, we fear.

And Reader, we would probably still be
sitting around that table singing, if Mrs.
Hazen Smith, chairman of reunions, hadn't
summoned us to the lawn back of the Tea
House, where the class stunts were to be
given. We rushed frantically around put-
ting the finishing touches to our stunt, try-
ing on our blue and white jockey-caps, and
practicing a jaunty gallop on the prancing
steeds (neigh brooms) loaned by the
Alumnae House. Speedy King and Mar-
garet Powell received the news that they
were to be tea-hounds very nicely, and sub-
mitted to being decorated with long flapping
hound ears of blue and white, but when
someone approached from the rear and at-
tempted to pin on long blue crepe paper
tails, they flatly refused to wear them, and
had to be talked to rather sternly before
they consented. We still think our class
stunt was the cleverest, although 1910 per-
sists in having that same view about theirs.

That night the glee club gave their an-
nual public warble: we trouped over and
occupied all the seats we could. Tuesday
morning commencement exercises were held
in the chapel, and our hearts thrilled again
at "Ancient of Days" and the "Alma Mater"
all three verses! Only too soon the sen-
iors were marching out of the chapel
eighty-one of them! to join our ranks as
alumnae: only too soon our first reunion
was a thing of the past, and we were
hurrying back to our husband and jobs.
Yes, "we'll remember ever," Agnes Scott,
and we'll be back for our third reunion in
1927. P. S.

hope to make this date an annual home-
coming for all alumnae.

If you are planning to come to Atlanta.
and of course to Agnes Scott, this fall, make
your visit in time for Wednesday, the day
before Thanksgiving, and come to the
Alumnae House. We are expecting to see a
large number of Alumnae.

Annie (Bryan) Scott.

Chairman of the House and Tea Room
Committee.

CHANGES IN THE ALUMNAE HOUSE
MANAGEMENT

We regret that Miss Martha Bishop and
Miss Nell Buchanan are no longer on the
"staff" of the Alumnae House. While we
miss them indeed, the work is being effi-
ciently carried on by Miss Florinne Brown,
ex '11, manager of the Tea Room, and Miss
Polly Stone. '24, General Alumnae Secre-
tary. Miss Brown is a graduate of the
Lewis Tea Room Training School, and is
proving her capabilities by the success she
has already attained in the two months the
Tea Room has been under her management.
Miss Stone has had two years experience
in the business world, with the Southern
Bell Telephone and Telegraph Company,
and with the Atlanta Y. W C. A., and is
fitted for her duties in connection with the
publication of the Alumnae Quarterly by
journalistic work on the "Agonistic" and
the editorship of the annual the "Sil-
houette" while a student at Agnes Scott.
The three mainstays of the kitchen, Bartow,
Ola, and Laurie, are still with us. All com-
munications regarding reservations in the
Alumnae House should be addressed to Gen-
eral Secretary, Alumnae Association. Agnes
Scott College. Decatur. Ga. Thanksgiving
reservations should be made immediately.

TO THE CLASS OF '25

With this issue of the Quarterly we wel-
come into the Agnes Scott Alumnae family
our newest sister, the class of '25. As their
president. Martha Lin Manly, said in speak-
ing of this class at the Trustee's luncheon
last commencement, "this is the largest and"
(one of) "the best that has been graduated
from Agnes Scott." Since ye editor and
the many gentle readers of the Quarterly
represent various and sundry classes other
than '25, it seems best to qualify somewhat
her sweeping statement that it is the best.
But no one will take issue with the fact
that when eighty-one seniors marched into
the chapel last June to receive their di-
plomas, all other class records were broken.
"Where, oh where are the grave old sen-
iors?"

They are scattered far and wide now over
the face of the earth. Forty-seven of
their number are teaching, three are already
married and settled in homes of their own.
six are continuing their studies in other
institutions, the business world has claimed
seven, the theatre, one. social service work,
three, while fourteen are at home this win-
ter resting from their four years of labor.

If the older sisters may be permitted to
give this youngest little sister one word of
advice it would be keep in touch. For
four years you have had every interest
common; now that college days are over
make it a point not to drift apart. Remem-
ber that even one year out of college is a
long time unless you keep in touch. Do
this through membership in the Alumnae
Association, through your class secretary.
Belle Walker, ( who, by the way, although
the youngest, is the very best secretatry in
the whole association!), through the Alum-
nae Quarterly, and best of all. by coming
back frequently to Agnes Scott.

Class of '2 5. Agnes Scott misses you.
The college halls and campus echo the
words :

"Where oh where are the grave old senios?
Safe now in the wide, wide world."

ARE YOU A GOOD ALUMNA?

No college is stronger than its ability to
hold its alumnae. Do all the alumnae re-
alize the responsibility that rests on them?
The strength of a college is often impaired
because its alumnae confine their interest to
memories of their undergraduate days. There
is no reason why a woman should receive
the benefits of a college for four years and
thereafter take no interest in the advance-
ment of the institution. Are the Agnes Scott
alumnae keeping up with the growth of the
college? Are they interested in the educa-
tional movements on foot in America today?
Here are some ways to be a good alumna:

1. Join the Alumnae Association. Mem-
bership in the association is far from
being a mere form, but carries with it
many privileges, such as the Alumnae
Quarterly with news of the college and
of classmates; the use of the beautiful
Anna Young Alumnae House; the
Alumnae Banquet at commencement
time, etc. If you can show your in-
terest in no more personal way. mem-
bership in the association alone will
help.

2. Join the local Agnes Scott Club, if
there is one in your city.

3. Join the local branch of the American
Association of University Women if
there is one in your city. This will
keep you abreast of all educational
movements of the day.

4. Visit the college as often as you can.
Be SURE to come back to your class
reunions.

5. Keep the college advised of all High
School students in your locality who
are good "Agnes Scott material." More
and more the alumnae are giving sub-
stantial help in the selecting of students.
You know the type girl you would
want to come to Agnes Scott.

HELP WANTED

You are earnestly requested to communi-
cate promptly any change of name or resi-
dence, together with correction of errors
and omissions in the Alumnae Register
to the Alumnae Secretary, Agnes Scott Col-
lege, Decatur. Georgia. Sincere thanks are
due to the many alumnae who have already
sent in corrections: these will be shown in
the new correction list to be published in the
spring.

STUDENT ORGANIZATION PLANS
FOR THE YEAR

1. Student Government

To learn to live honorably and un-
selfishly in a community, and to share in
the responsibility of the government is a
part of the broader education for which we
come to college. With this in view as the
purpose for which our Association was
founded, Student Government has chosen as
its "watchwords" for 1925-26, "Co-opera-
tion" and "Progress."

In addition to Lower House, we have a
Proctor Board, consisting of the proctors
from every dormitory, which shall hold
weekly meetings at a definite time and place.

This year the president of Y. W. C. A.
meets regularly with the Executive Com-
mittee, and we feel in this way. Y. W. C.
A. is actively co-operating with Student
Government. One of the most progressive
steps so far is the requirement of a Day
Student Representative on the Executive
Board.

We are looking forward to the North-
ern Inter-collegiate Conference to be held at
Wellesley this fall as an opportunity to
compare our Student Government Associa-
tion with that of other colleges and to re-
ceive the help necessary to keep our Asso-
ciation progressive that it may ever be ready
to serve the Greater Agnes Scott.

Virginia Browning. President.

2. Dramatic Club

With the incentive of the magnificently
adequate stage and lighting facilities in the
new gymnasium auditorium. the Black-
friars are planning for a year of real achieve-
ment. Any money made by the club this
year will go towards the purchase of scen-
ery, as we are woefully wanting in that
respect.

We have enlarged the scope of our club
this year to include not only those girls who
are good actresses but also those girls who
are interested in any phase of dramatic work
producing, costuming, playwriting. etc.
Miss Nan Stephens' class in the writing of
drama has generously offered to work with
us and we are planning to put on several
programs of the one-act plays and probably
in the Spring, a three-act play written by
this class.

Our first offering for the year was on the
evening or October 24. The three one-act
plays presented that night were:

"Followers" by Brighouse.

"Nevertheless" by Stuart Walker.

"Will o' the Wisp" by Halman.

The Thanksgiving play will be "Daddy
Long Legs."

Ellen Douglas Leyburn. President.

3. Ycung Women's Christian Association

The plans for the work of the Y. W. C.
A. for the coming year were made out at
Pine Lodge Camp in September. The Cabinet
members returned early to do this, and each
committee planned a special project for the
year. A definite theme was chosen to form
a basis for the Sunday vesper services, and
every effort is being made to have full atten-
dance and real interest in these meetings.

The Vocational Information Committee
has many good ideas, and it intends to make
good use of the new Vocational Library
which Mr. Cator Woolford so generously
gave us.

An entirely new project is being spon-
sored this year, primarily by Y. W. C. A.
with the backing of Student Government.
This takes the form of a Circulating Library
of good modern fiction on a two cent a day
basis. All books and financial aid are asked
for and gratefully received by the committee
working on this Library.

In the spring, a special program for in-
teresting students in Blue Ridge will be
given, and we hopa to have a big delegation
at next year's conference.

Virginia Peeler, President.

4. Athletic Asscciation

The new gym has given the Athletic As-
sociation such an impetus that we hope by
the end of the year to have accomplished
great things. With the new pool, more of
the girls are going in for swimming; the
athletic field will be in fine condition by the
time we are ready for field day in the
spring, and the three indoor basket-ball
courts arc being used every day and evening.
We expect to have our annual tennis tourna-
ment again, but regret exceedingly that on
account of the condition of the athletic field,
hockey will have to be foregone this fall.
Pine Lodge, the college camp at Stone Moun-

tain, is signed up for every week-end, as is
also the Venable guest house, which they
have kindly turned over to us again for the
winter. Agnes Scott has indeed traveled
far since the days when the young ladies of
the Decatur Female Seminary obtained their
exercise by walking on the verandas and
around the buildings, or by gently propell-
ing a croquet-ball through a wicket.

Sarah Slaughter. President.

5. LECTURE ASSOCIATION

The Lecture Association at Agnes Scott
endeavors to bring to the college each year
four or five men or women who are out-
standing in some one line of work. In past
years, it has been fortunate enough to secure
such lecturers as Hamilton, Holt. Stephen
Leacock. Justice Florence E. Allen, Mrs. Car-
rie Chapman Catt. DuBose Hcyward. Frank
Swinnerton, Dr. Joseph E. Ames. Vilhjal-
mur Stefansson. and others. This year John
Drinkwater has been scheduled for Novem-
ber 4th and Count Byron de Proroc for
February 1 Oth. Two or three more lec-
tures are to be arranged.

Catherine Graeber.

Student Chairman.

6. PI ALPHA PHI DEBATING CLUB

The purpose of this organization is to
stimulate interest in debating, to train the
individual members along that line, and to
prepare two teams for the yearly tri-angu-
lar debate with Sophie Newcomb and Ran-
dolph Macon. The inter-collegiate de-
baters are chosen by the faculty committee
from the twelve girls who have previously
been selected to do intensive work on de-
bating. Out of the fourteen debates in
which Agnes Scott has taken part, she has
won nine. This year, her hope is for a
double victory.

Catherine Graeber,

President.

NEW GYMNASIUM BUILDING
IN USE

The new gymnasium looms large upon
the campus horizon this year, both figurati-
vely and actually. It is an enormous build-
ing, covering half of the old athletic field,
while a much larger new athletic field has
been graded and extends down by the side
of the new gym from the back of West
Lawn Cottage, past the new amphitheatre
( where May Day exercises were held last
spring) down to Ansley Street, the bound-
ary line of the college property. Classes have
been held in the new gym from the begin-
ning of the session in September, but the
swimming-pool was not open until several
weeks later, due to the lack of water in De-
catur. This pool is sixty by twenty-five
feet, lined with glistening white tiles, and is
a perfect joy after the "enlarged bath-tub"
of the old gym.

On the evening of October 8, the build-
ing was formally opened and a dedicatory
service held. A beautiful bronze tablet in
the entrance hall was unveiled. It bears
the inscription :

In Memory of George Bucher Scott

1855-1920

A Member of the Board of Trustees

For Twenty-four Years

Chairman of the Committee on Buildings

and Grounds

For Seventeen Years

This Building

Has Been Named for Him in Recognition

of His Devotion to

Agnes Scott College

and of His Labors for its Development.

Two nights later, on October 10. the
first performance was given on the stage
the contest of wits between the sophomores

16

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

and freshmen, in which the sophomores
came off victorious. Footlights, and an
elaborate lighting system make possible
varied and very beautiful effects on the
stage which were utterly out of the question
in the days now forever past when the
Blackfriars gave their performances in the
chapel in Rcbeccah Scott Hall. The acous-
tics of the building are splendid; even those
sitting on the back row in the gallery are
able to hear perfectly, and there are no roof-
supporting pillars to obstruct the view of
the stage. Heavy velvet curtains in purple
and silver are the joy of Blackfriar hearts.

The only regret that anyone can find in
connection with the new gym is that the best
tennis-court on the campus the one behind
the library had to be sacrificed, but in view
of all we have gained by the change, we
consider the loss worth while.

Agnes Scott Alumnae, this magnificent
building which belongs to you is just one
more reason why you should pay your col-
lege a visit in the near future. A sight of
it is worth a trip back. The cost of the
completed building is around $175,000.00
it is one of the finest in the south.

THE ALUMNAE ASSOCIATION

REPORT OF ANNUAL MEETING

MAY, 1925
The Alumnae Association held its annual
meeting in the Propylean Hall imme-
diately after the trustees' luncheon, on May
23, 1925. A large number of Alumnae
were in attendance. The following reports
were given :

REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT
The annual meeting of the Agnes Scott
Alumnae Association of May 23, 1925.
brings to a close the first year of service of
this administration, and, without infring-
ing on the reports of the committees which
are to be given, this report will attempt to
touch upon some of the outstanding marks
of development in our association.

Three lines of work were recommended
to us last year at this time as the pressing
needs for this year. and. with these as our
aims, we began in September to lay stress
on the formation of more local clubs, the
greater and more closely knit organization
of classes and the perfecting, if possible, of
our card index files. Just briefly, the re-
port on these lines at the close of the year
is this: the number of clubs has grown from
two to eight: the classes have each a defi-
nitely accepted secretary, reporting regularly
to the office following her letters to her
classmates and the splendid reunion classes
of this year are the real flowerings of this
constant nurture: the work on the files,
under the supervision of Miss Nell Buchan-
an, has been brought well on its way toward
completion, so much so that our first Alum-
nae Register is soon to be published.

Another object of pride and interest to
every alumna has been the Alumnae Quart-
erly, three numbers of which have been is-
sued this year up to this time and each
issue has brought a flood of enthusiastic let-
ters from girls, far and near, to cheer the
hearts of the Publicity Committee and Miss
Buchanan. Surely, to this publication, link-
ing us with memories of our college days
and friends and with happenings on the
campus now. is due in large measure the
increasing number of paid members of the
Alumnae Association and also the genuine
revival of love and interest among our
alumnae, as evidenced by their letters.

A great asset, of course, is our Alumnae
House, whose committee's report will be so
full that I need not go into a detailed re-
port, only mentioning the prompt payment
of the thousand dollars on March 15th.
with a tidy balance on hand and enough
pledges from clubs and individuals to pro-
vide for our final payment next year. It
is with regret that we accept Miss Bishop's
resignation, recognizing her ability and loy-
alty and thanking her for the years of suc-
cessful management, but we are extremely
fortunate in having secured the services of
another alumna and are looking forward to
a very prosperous year.

The Alumnae Council has held two
meetings this year, one in January and one
in May. meetings filled with interesting con-
tacts with joint problems of the college com-
munity and the alumnae.

Our new endeavor, just beginning to feel
its way, yet growing stronger and more
tangible each day. is what is called the
"College after College" plan, sponsored by
Miss Lucile Alexander, who has won the
active support of leading members of the
faculty to the extent of giving their ser-
vices to accomplish this plan. Her report
is so definite that I shall only mention this
and take this opportunity on behalf of the
Alumnae Association to thank Miss Alex-
ander. Miss McKinney, Miss Lewis, Miss
Hearon, Miss Laney, Miss Davis, who have
consented to form the faculty of this move-
ment. Surely, the Alumnae Association has
a very real responsibility and obligation when
it has such generous support given its plans
by the college community.

This report would not be complete with-
out mention of the wonderful work done
in the alumnae office under Miss Buchanan.
We have, indeed, been fortunate in having
had in closest touch with our alumnae a
person of Miss Buchanan's charm and abil-
ity, and the results of her ideas and her
personality have been far reaching in the
welding of the alumnae members into a
united body. A great deal of correspond-
ence, very necessary and very welcome, is
carried on in the office with individual mem-
bers, clubs, secretaries of classes, chairmen of

18

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

committees, etc. ; the quarterly, also, is very
largely compiled in the office, and the send-
ing out of notices and questionnaires on va-
rious lines are necessary; of course, the files
are a continual work, as addresses and
names also change rapidly. Next year the
association will enjoy the services of a full
time secretary, a step long recommended to
us.

Nor would we fail to make grateful
acknowledgement of the support of Dr. Mc-
Cain, of the college and of Miss McKinney's
wonderful service to the association in her
visits to Charlotte. Richmond, and Birming-
ham at the formation of these three clubs
and we feel that the inspiration of her pres-
ence at their initial meetings is the secret of
the successful organization of these active
clubs.

I wish to express my deepest gratitude
to the general officers and the chairmen of
committees for their cooperation, the gen-
erous giving of their time and efforts and
their encouraging support and wish for each
of them even greater results in their work
next year.

The Alumnae Association has become,
through years of earnest endeavor in the
past, an organized body of which we are
justly proud and yet, back of the organiza-
tion, back of the office, of the Quarterly, of
the Alumnae House and of the reports of
chairmen stands each of you, the unit of the
organization, the very fibre of its being, and
every good endeavour, every step forward is
made by each of you working together for
the good of our college and the furtherance
of the cause of education. What a joy to
us to know that in the reports of the year
each of us has had a part and may the
next year bring the association greater
achievements and increased development
through the added sense of responsibility and
joy in service of each alumna.

Respectfully submitted,

Fannil G. (Mayson) Donaldson,

President.

REPORT OF GENERAL SECRETARY

It is through the Alumnae office that the
Association committees have done their
work, and it is gratifying to know that
each of these committees has been active and
working throughout the year. Of course.

in order to do our best service, we must be
able to locate our girls, and to this end we
have spent much of our time this year. We
have sent out letters and follow-up letters
and postal cards to the girls, and if we
have gotten no response, we have written
to their relatives and friends. We are pub-
lishing our first alumnae directory this
year, and while it will not be complete, it
is a start, and we ask your co-operation in
making corrections. Of the 2.625 names on
our college list, the addresses of 1.950 have
been verified, 570 have not been heard from,
and 105 are definitely lost. We have so
far done but little work on the institute and
academy files, and I suppose will concentrate
on them next year.

The office has concentrated its work on
the following committees:

Publicity Committee In helping with the
Alumnae Quarterly.

Local Clubs Committee We have no
dead wood in our local clubs either. Their
officers have been most efficient, and have
kept in close touch with the central office.

Class Organization Committees In help-
ing to work up reunions, and in keeping the
classes together. This commencement we
are definitely organizing the class at large,
for many of our most loyal alumnae are
non-graduates. The work of the class sec-
retaries speaks for itself in the news they
have sent for the Alumnae Quarterly. They
have been almost 100 per cent active.

Curriculum Committee That is. the Col-
lege after College phase of it. You have
heard their report, and lastly

The Vocational Guidance Committee In
sending out the ~ vocational questionnaires.
We hope next year to have a vocational file
in the office.

We have on our mailing list 750 names.
There arc about 200 new members in the
association this year. This number in-
cludes comparatively few of last year's
class, as most of them joined before leaving
last year.

The alumnae are using the alumnae of-
fice more and more. Many write to get
addresses and to ask for information and
small services. The office is always eager to
do anything that will serve to strengthen the
tie between the alumnae and the college.
Many letters have come to the office during

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

19

the year, showing marked increase in the
interest the alumnae are taking in the work
of the association. The alumnae are doing
a great work now, and in a few years, as
our organization becomes more complete. I
am sure we will be in a position to be of
much greater service.

Respectfully submitted,
NELL BUCH\NAN. General Secretary.

REPORT OF THE PUBLICITY
COMMITTEE '

The Alumnae Quarterly, cherished off-
spring of the Publicity Committee, has
thrived and developed until its lusty cries
have aroused the wonder and admiration
not only of the Agnes Scott Alumnae As-
sociation collectively and individually but
also of other associations and men and
women of prominence throughout the
country.

The eminent Dr. Thwing on his recent
visit to Agnes Scott paid it an unusual
tribute in saying it is one of the very few
outstanding publications of its kind in the
United States, and that both in subject mat-
ter and typography it has a finish that is
seldom seen in magazines of this type.

We. of the committee, feel that we can
never express our deep appreciation to Nell
Buchanan who has edited the Quarterly for
the year and to whom all the credit for its
success is due.

While the Quarterly has been the chief
source of publicity for the year we have also
succeeded in getting some local recognition
through the Atlanta press.

Respectfully submitted,

Louise McA. Johnson. Chairman.

REPORT OF PREPARATORY
SCHOOLS COMMITTEE

Following the suggestion of Mrs. Donald-
son, acting in advisory capacity to the com-
mittee, and Dr. McCain, the Preparatory
Schools Committee has endeavored during
the past year to concentrate its efforts in
certain localities which heretofore have not
been especially stressed. A letter was writ-
ten to an alumna in each of these cities
asking that she try to do three things, or.
at least one of three things: first, to send
to Dr. McCain a list of especially recom-

mended students in the Senior and Junior
classes of the high school or other standard
preparatory school in that city; second, to
cooperate with local A. A. U. W. branches
in the celebration of College Day and to
secure representation of Agnes Scott at such
events; third, to have Agnes Scott parties,
along with other alumnae of that city, to
which High School Seniors are invited and
Agnes Scott posters, pictures, etc., shown to
them.

Letters were written to this purpose to
alumnae in the following cities: Memphis,
Tenn.; Nashville, Tenn. ; Little Rock, Ark.;
Jacksonville. Fla.: Pensacola. Fla. : Mobile,
Ala.; Miami, Fla.: Macon. Ga. ; Louisville,
Ky. ; New Orleans. La.: and Charleston,
S. C.

Almost all of those to whom letters were
written agreed to send in the lists of stud-
ents. In many of the places there were no
A. A. U. W. organizations and hence no
college day celebration. In two of the
places Agnes Scott parties were being plan-
ned. Two of the letters were returned for
incorrect address.

Besides these places where we tried to con-
centrate our efforts, the committee arranged
for Agnes Scott to be represented (by Miss
Nell Buchanan. Alumnae Secretary) at Col-
lege day celebrations in Charlotte. N. C
Monroe. N. C. Concord, N. C and Gas-
tonia. N. C.

I feel that the work of this committee
has been handicapped this year by the fact
that its chairman hns had to give much of
her time to other alumnae work the estab-
lishment of the Charlotte Agnes Scott Club,
by reason of the illness of the local repre-
sentative on that committee.

The names of the members of this com-
mittee have not been sent in up to this time
and I am going to consider those to whom
the letters were sent as composing this com-
mittee. These are Margaret Rowe. Mrs.
Harlin Tucker. Mrs. YMm. O. Lyon, Alice
Jones. Annie Chapin McLane, Grace Har-

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

REPORT OF ALUMNAE HOUSE AND
TEA ROOM COMMITTEE

In beginning its report the committee de-
sires to acknowledge with gratitude three
lovely gifts presented to the house this year.
On Miss Anna Young's birthday, Mrs.
Young and Anna Young Eagin beautified
our dining-room by adding to its appoint-
ments a silver coffee pot. silver tea-pot. and
three silver bon bon dishes. Miss Alexan-
der's gift of a complete set of flat silver
makes the dining room further attractive.
The house guests during the year have en-
joyed the gift of the Decatur club the At-
lanta Constitution, a morning paper.

We are deeply grateful to Miss Morton for
her efficient bookkeeping for the Tea Room,
and to Miss Martha Bishop, our charming
hostess and Tea Room manager, for all she
has done in making our home and Tea Room
so attractive. Her absence will be felt next
year. A cordial welcome, however, is given
both to Miss Florine Brown, her successor
as manager of the House and Tea Room and
to Miss Polly Stone, our new general sec-
retary of the Association, who will also act
as hostess for our home.

Purchases for the House and Tea Room:
Tea Room funds equal five per cent per
month of Tea Room profit :

One dozen soup plates.

Two dozen cups and saucers.

Three dozen ice tea glasses.

Three dozen ice tea spoons.

Three dozen sherbet glasses.
Fund from Alumnae Budget:

Mahogany desk.

Kitchen walls cleaned.

Three cots and pads.
Financial statement:

Total receipts . $6,977.3}

Total profits 217.89

75% of profits to Alumnae

Association 16 3.41

20% of profits to Miss Bishop 43.57

5% of profits to Tea Room
fund (including $17.05.
5'/, profits of May. 1924) 27.96

Although not very many purchases have
been made during the year for house furnish-
ings, we are proud of our Alumnae House
as it is. and the numbers of returning alum-
nae arc delighted with their home on the
campus. Distinguished guests, whom it has

been our pleasure to entertain from time to
time, have been charmed with our house.
We were pleased to know that DuBose Hey-
ward. spoke of its lovely appointments. In
addition to that of DuBose Heyward. our
Guest Book contains the names of Mrs. Du-
Bose Heyward. Dr. D. Clay Lilly. Mrs. D.
Clay Lilly. Dr. Ira Lowther Peters, of
Goucher College. Charles A. Thwing and
Mrs. Charles A. Thwing. We believe that
as a result of their visit in our Alumnae
House they* will have a very friendly feel-
ing for Agnes Scott.

The following recommendations, made
by the committee, to the Executive Commit-
tee of the Association at a recent meeting
were accepted.

1 . That as a slight mark of appreciation
of her work, the Tea Room Treasurer be
given two dinners a month in the Tea Room.

2. That Miss Martha Bishop, our re-
tiring hostess and Tea Room manager, be
given the privilege of returning at any time
to the Alumnae House as to her own home.
that is. without the usual charge of fifty
cents a night.

3. That resolutions be drawn up by the
Secretary relative to Miss Bishop and Miss
Buchanan and their work.

Respectfully submitted.

Annie (Bryan) Scott. Chairman.
RESOLUTION

It has been with deep regret that the
Alumnae Association has accepted the re-
signation of two of its most valuable of-
ficers, that of Miss Martha Bishop, manager
of the Tea Room and Hostess of the Alum-
nae House, and that of Miss Nell Buchan-
an. General Alumnae Secretary. We feel
that formal resolutions are quite inadequate
to express our sincere sorrow in losing
them. So we shall only say good-by and
good luck to them always.

REPORT OF LOCAL CLUBS
COMMITTEE

The Local Clubs Committee feels very
fortunate in being able to report that four
new clubs. Charlotte. N. C Richmond.
Va.. New York City, and Birmingham.
Ala.. have been organized, and that two
others Lynchburg. Va.. and Anniston.
Ala., are ready for their first meetings.

It has been the purpose of each club to
keep its members in touch with the work.

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

21

plans, and latest developments of the Col-
lege, to promote closer fellowship between
the alumnae and the students of the col-
lege, to create greater interest in Agnes Scott
among the high school girls, and to give ev-
ery alumna an opportunity to serve her
Alma Mater.

Charlotte and Richmond are still working
under the enthusiasm given them by Miss
McKinney, whom Dr. McCain so kindly sent
to be present at their first meetings in order
that both clubs might have a touch of the
spirit and atmosphere of Agnes Scott.
Charlotte has thirty members, practically all
of whom are active workers. Special em-
phasis has been put on the plans for a
"greater Agnes Scott." Pictures and blue
prints have been used to show where the
new buildings are to be placed and how they
will look on the campus. At present, the
club is in the midst of a campaign to raise
$100.00 which will be given to help raise
the debt on the Alumnae House.

Although small in numbers, the Richmond
Club is strong in spirit. In February the
club gave a tea to some of the high school
girls. Pictures, blue prints, annuals, and
catalogues were shown, and talks were given
so that the girls might have a glimpse of all
sides of life at Agnes Scott. In March, the
club made three posters which the A. A. U.
W. used in the high schools and two large
girls' schools in connection with their col-
lege day program.

In March, the Peg Woffington was the
scene of a very enthusiastic meeting of sev-
enteen Agnes Scott girls who unanimously
voted the organization of a New York chap-
ter of the Alumnae Association. Miss Nan
Stephens, who was honor guest, gave such
a glowing account of a course in playwrit-
ing. which is to be given at the College
next year under the auspices of the Alumnae
Association, that the club immediately
pledged $100.00 toward its support.

The Birmingham Club is only about a
month old, but already it has the distinction
of being the largest Agnes Scott Club in
existence.

The Atlanta and Decatur Clubs have, as
always, accomplished a maximum amount
of work: the Atlanta Club having contrib-

uted $500.00 to the Alumnae Fund, and the
Decatur Club $250.00.

The Committee has had very encouraging
reports from Valdosta. Ga., Montgomery,
Ala., Chattanooga, Tenn., and Marietta, Ga.
Due to local conditions, they have not been
able to form definite organizations, bbut we
feel confident that the Association can count
on their support and co-operation in next
year's work.

Several other cities are eligible for mem-
bership, so we are "hitching our wagon to a
star", and hoping that by the end of next
year the Committee will be able to report
outstanding clubs in all the southern States
as well as in several of the northern ones.

Respectfully submitted.

Aimee D. (Glover) Little,

Chairman.

REPORT OF THE VOCATIONAL
COMMITTEE

The Vocational Committee of the Alum-
nae Association of Agnes Scott College has
worked along the following lines:

1 . Study of vocational counselling being

done in colleges and universities.

2. Vocational census of our own alum-

nae.

3. Compiling of types of service given

by vocational bureaus.

4. Compiling of information regarding

placement work for college women.

Since we are filing full reports of the last
three divisions of work in the Alumnae
Office. I shall not attempt a detailed report.

Through the alumnae questionnaire v, e
have been able to ascertain the vocations of
one hundred and thirty-six (136) Agnes
Scott Alumnae. We also obtained informa-
tion in regard to the need for vocational
counselling. Of the one hundred and
thirty-six (136) questionnaires, seventy
(70) left the question relative to under-
graduate counselling unanswered, seven (7)
thought it unnecessary, and fifty-nine (5 9)
would have found it useful. In answer to
the question concerning counsel now, eighty-
six (86) left the question unanswered, ten
(10) desired none, while thirty-nine (39)
wished it. From these things desired, we
are making certain recommendations to the
committees which handle them.

We have placed on file in the alumnae

22

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

office the addresses of twelve Vocational
Bureaus with the service given by each, the
salary at which a college woman may expect
to begin work, and statements as to the dif-
ficulty or ease of placing college graduates
who have had no professional training or
experience.

There is also on file a list of Employment
Agencies for college women, arranged accord-
ing to vocations where certain lines of work
are especially handled.

The first phase of the work has only been
begun. We find many colleges and uni-
versities experimenting along the line of vo-
cational counsel and personnel work. Most
undergraduates now are planning to go into
some work and many of them desire to enter
professions. We consider the choice of one's
life work most important and are eager that
students choose intelligently with as many
facts as possible before them about vocations
and their own abilities. We would, there-
fore, recommend that the principal work of
the committee for next year consist of a com-
parative study of the vocational counsel and
personnel work for women done in colleges
and universities.

We also suggest that the committee offer
through President McCain their services to
the college in any way he might think ad-
advisable and possible for undergraduates.

We are indebted to the Bureau of Voca-
tional Information of New York City for
most of the information we have collected,
and would express our appreciation for the
cordial help they have given us.

Respectfully submitted,

Ruth Scandrett.

Chairman.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON

BEAUTIFYING GROUNDS

AND BUILDINGS

The Committee has kept in touch with the
college during the past year and has met with
the usual cordial response.

The foundation planting of shrubbery
outlined by Wachendorff Brothers. Florists
of Atlanta, last year, has been made about
Rebecca Scott Hall, and also at their sug-
gestion the fountain has been removed from
the front of Main Building. This change-
has not only improved the entrance to this
building but has given the much needed park-

ing space that has greatly facilitated traffic
in and out of the campus.

The only definite work done by the Com-
mittee was the very pleasant task of choosing
three plants as a gift from the Alumnae As-
sociation to the college at Christmas. These
were two Dracenas for the chapel and one
for the parlor of Main Building, which we
feel so interested in. since we had a share in
refurnishing it last year. These plants were
very much appreciated and we hope are being
enjoyed by the college community.

Respectfully submitted,

Allie (Candler) Guy.
Chairman.

REPORT OF ENTERTAINMENT
COMMITTEE

The work of the Entertainment Commit-
tee of Agnes Scott Alumnae Association for
1924-25 has consisted chiefly in a Valentine
Tea for the Senior class on Thursday. Feb-
ruary 12th, at the Alumnae House. A pro-
gram consisting of brief talks of the history
of the Alumnae Association was given by
Miss Alexander, Mrs. Donaldson and Miss
Nell Buchanan, following which refreshments
were served to about ninety guests.

The Committee has helped to plan with
Miss Hopkins and Mrs. Thatcher the Alum-
nae Luncheon to be given by the Trustees
on May 23rd. It will take charge of the
table decorations, etc.

Respectfully submitted,

Eugenia (Johnston) Griffin.

Chairman.

REPORT OF LOUISE McKINNEY
PLAY CONTEST COMMITTEE

The Committee expended considerable
effort during the year in bringing the Play
Contest to the attention of the Alumnae.
Many personal letters were written urging the
entrance of contestants.

One member of the Committee compiled a
"play dummy", giving full instructions as
to the form, appearance, and general make-
up of the manuscript of a play, together with
a list of helpful books on the subject of
play-writing. This material was sent to all
"prospects", together with the conditions
governing the contest.

In consultation with the donor of the
Louise McKinney Play Prize the conditions
were slightly changed. They are as follows:

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

23

"Each play submitted must be full length
(approximately one hundred typewritten
pages) .

"Plays must be sent by January 1, 1925,
to General Secretary, Alumnae Association,
Agnes Scott College, Decatur, Ga. The plays
will then be numbered and sent to judges.

"The Agnes Scott Alumnae Association
has no option on the rights to the plays
submitted. Contestants are urged to have
manuscripts copyrighted and to hold in their
possession the original manuscript, sending
in the first carbon copy for the contest. Par-
ticipation in the contest does not preclude
marketing of plays by the author before
or after the decision of the judges.

"There will be no award unless at least
one of the three judges considers that there
is some degree of craftsmanship or inherent
sense of the theatre, or real inspiration in
the play submitted.

"Announcement of the award will be
made at Commencement. May. 1925."

One play was received and forwarded to
the judges.

If criticism or suggestions regarding out-
line or draft of play is desired by any con-
testant she is asked to write for further
information to any member of the Play
Contest Committee.

Respectfully submitted,

Mary Wallace Kirk,

Chairman.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON CLASS
REUNIONS

The work of this Committee has con-
sisted chiefly in letter-writing and verbal
propaganda. During the past year letters
have been written to all reunion classes seek-
ing to arouse interest and urging them to
return for commencement. With the help of
our efficient Alumnae Secretary plans have
been formulated for class organizations and
much space given to reunions in the Alumnae
Quarterly, and the present prospects are that
there will be more girls back this year than
ever before.

Respectfully submitted.

Ruth (Slack) Smith.

Chairman.

CURRICULUM COMMITTEE

My Dear Alumnae:

You will all be too proud. I am sure,
when you learn that not nearly all of us have
let our poor feeble brains and mental am-
bitions be entirely stagnated and submerged
in the daily grind of keeping Johnny's ears
clean, or struggling to keep down the gas
bills.

(We know, of course, that those of us
who are pursuing noble careers in the line
of education, medicine, dramatics, music,
business, religious work, etc., etc., are never
letting their mental alertness be dulled in the

24

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

slightest. But it is also interesting and very
gratifying to know that lots of us who have
chosen the humble career of matrimony and
housekeeping are still interested in a few out-
side things. )

For please listen to this: Lots of our
alumnae are planning to take one or more
of our alumnae reading courses this year with
their husbands! Our office has really been
flooded with letters from interested alumnae
from everywhere who want these courses,
some for fireside study this winter, some for
group or club study in different organizations.
Already there have been about two hundred
applications for courses. If you have not
sent for yours they are all ready for you at
the Alumnae Office, and will be sent you on
receipt of one dollar (to cover expenses of
printing, postage, etc. )

You remember that the subjects for the
courses offered this winter are
Modern European History,
Modern Drama,

Contemporary American Poetry,
Art History.
Sociology.
There have been requests from our alum-
nae for courses on anything from the teach-
ing of French, to General Social Psychology.
Some of the topics mentioned for courses
are: the Bible, Mental Tests and Measure-
ments, French Poetry. Modern Science. Gen-
eral Economics, etc. And so we hope by
another year to include some of these dif-
ferent requests in a somewhat more varied
program. In the meanwhile our program
for this year has met with a most enthusi-
astic response. One alumna says, "I am so
glad to see that all of the courses offered
are on contemporary problems and joys,
too, or their immediate background, and
surely hope the plan materializes. It docs
sound promising."

The study outlines look most interesting
and make one very eager to take them all.
They have all been carefully and thought-
fully studied out by the professors, and we
are assuredly deeply grateful to them for the
many hours of work which they have put
into the assembling of such a thorough and
well-organized study of each subject.

In the poetry course Miss Laney has se-
lected works and criticisms of our most noted

contemporary poets. Miss McKinney's mod-
ern drama course you know is interesting,
and will teach us many things we need to
know about modern-day dramatists and
plays. The history course is a painstaking
and exhaustive study of the subject, and will
be a real effort and a real joy to those who
do it well. Miss Hearon has worked it out
in detail so carefully that it will be very
easy to follow, and should give to those who
conscientiously do so. a thorough knowledge
of the subject. The course in Art History
is fascinating, with all its line of painters,
sculptors, and other artists to read about.
Miss Lewis, with her comprehension of the
subject, has been able to make this one par-
ticularly so. Then there is the Sociology
course by Miss Davis. She is thoroughly
interested in the subject and so can give us
an inspirational view of it.

Good luck and best wishes to all of you
in your winter's study, wherever or what-
ever it maybe. Write what you would be
interested to study. We want to know the
things that appeal to the most of our
alumnae.

Very sincerely yours.

Jane (H\rweld Rutland.

Chairman of the Curriculum Committee.

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MINUTES

The Alumnae Council held its spring
meeting on Thursday. May 21, with seven
members present.

Miss Hopkins reported that she had
noticed a marked increase in the interest
shown by alumnae, especially in remarks
made about the Trustees' Luncheon and the
Alumnae Quarterly.

It was reported that an instructor in
drama composition. Miss Nan Stephens, had
been secured for next year.

The Alumnae Council discussed placing

a trellis covered with honey-suckle over the
garbage cans by the Tea Room side door.
Plans for renovating Mr. Dieckman's studio
were also brought forward.

It was reported that dinner will be held
at night next year. Each student is to
turn in six napkins at the beginning of the
year, and the laundering of these is to be
cared for by the college. Smaller tables were
advocated.

Suggestions for cutting down college ex-
penses were advanced, and also suggestions
for helping college girls make money by
such methods as tea room work, etc.

As there was no further business, the
meeting was adjourned.

Respectfully submitted,
M\RGARET BLAND. Secretary.

REPORT OF THE RICHMOND,
VIRGINIA CLUB

The Richmond Club was organized in
December. 1924. The first meeting was
held during Miss McKinney's visit to us.
when she told us about the plans for the en-
largement of Agnes Scott and the new alum-
nae clubs. It was a great pleasure to find
fourteen Agnes Scott girls in Richmond.
They are:

Josephine Logan, Beth McClure, Margaret
McDow, Elizabeth Doggett, Mrs. Motte
Martin, Dr. India Hunt. Mary White Cald-
well, Mrs. W. A. Williams. Mrs. John J.
Wicker. Jr., Mrs. H. J. Williams, Mrs. Rob-
ert A. Towers, Louise Sanders, Louise
Payne, Nannie Campbell.

At the second meeting officers were
elected, the report of the nominating com-
mittee being accepted. Beth McClure was
elected president, Jo Logan secretary, and
Mrs. H. J. Williams, treasurer. One meet-
ing was given to making three beautiful post-
ers which were used in connection with
College Day in the high school and two
girls' private schools.

In February the Club gave a tea to which
some high school girls were invited. Evfry
phase of Agnes Scott life was presented to
them through pictures, pamphlets, annuals,
cross word puzzles, and conversation. (The
last being the most effective) . The thing
that we are very proud of is that we feel
we can claim one of this year's freshmen as
our very own. Her home is in Richmond,

26

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

and she never would have considered going
to Agnes Scott except for our Richmond
Club.

We are young yet, but we hope to serve
our Alma Mater this year and show that

our love for her is stronger than ever. Our
power to serve has been increased by the
splendid new members the Training School
has brought us and we are hoping for a
successful year.

winter. She is living with Elizabeth Wilson at

Mary Anne (Justice) Miracle writes a most
interesting account of her honeymoon at an
engineering camp in Kentucky, twenty-two miles
from a railroad. "'You can well imagine how
far we are from civilization. The roads are
unspeakable rough and narrow with huge mud-
holes like those Christian had to struggle
through to reach the little wicket gate. The
natives are the most pathetic, abandoned crea-
tures I have ever seen, and we rarely see any
"furriners" as they call us. The arrival of
the tri-weekly mail and the occasional visits
of the engineers from the office are the main
events in our round of days. It really is a
wonderful existence though, camping in. the
heart of the Kentucky mountains. This Red
Bird country is lovely with its rugged ridges,
virgin forests and rocky creeks. We fish, ride,
tramp, swim, and enjoy life generally. Civili-
zation with its luxuries and hectic rush seems
very remote, for we have turned the corner,
and are in the midst of the 'great adventure.' "

FEBRUARY 22nd, FOUNDERS' DAY, CELE-
BRATED BY RADIO PROGRAM

A nation-wide Agnes Scott day! A coast to coast celebration of Found-
ers' Day, which is made possible this year for the first time by radio!

On February 22nd the college always celebrates the anniversary of the
founding of Agnes Scott. The students are given a holiday and the forma/
dinner that night over which the seniors preside in colonial costume, is one
of the big events of the year, and a memory long cherished by alumnae.
This year we are planning for a celebration, not only on the campus by the
immediate college community, but an observance of the day wherever there
are Agnes Scott alumnae, and by alumnae we mean those girls who have at
any time since the founding of the college been students there.

On Monday, February 22nd, all the Agnes Scott clubs are to meet for
seven o'clock dinner, and in towns where the alumnae group is too small for
the formation of a club, the girls are to get together on this night for this
first great nation-wide Founders' Day program.

Promptly at eight o'clock, over WSB. the broadcasting station of the
Atlanta Journal, President McCain's voice will greet his "girls", scattered
over the entire United States, but meeting together at this time, and bound
together always by the tie of love for their Alma Mater. An hour's program
has been arranged, consisting for the most part of music. The college glee
club and orchestra will furnish numbers. There will be solos by Frances
(Gilliland) Stukes, '24, and Helen Bates, '26, and you may expect to hear
the peppy swing of "Hottentot" at some time during the evening. The pro-
gram will close with Agnes Scott girls from California to Maine joining the
radio voices of the glee club in singing the "Alma Mater".

Each Agnes Scott club will have as its guest at dinner that night some
representative from the college, and before the radio program begins, local
songs and after-dinner speeches will be in order. In the small towns where
there are only one or two alumnae, these girls are planning to tune in on
their own or someone else's radio, and get the program from the college at
eight o'clock, Atlanta time.

And, Clubs, and Individuals too, from Florida to Washington state,
won't you telegraph us that night when you begin getting the program ?
These telegrams can be relayed over the radio, and will form a most interesting
feature of the evening. Address telegrams to Atlanta Journal Radio Broad-
casting Station, Atlanta Biltmore Hotel.

It will be a day marked forever in red on the calendar of the Greater
Agnes Scott February 22nd, 1926 our first great national Agnes Scott
day!

PLAYWRITING CLASS PRESENTS FIRST
BILL ON FEBRUARY 20th

The need has long been felt at Agnes Scott for a course which should
offer to the student in the field of the drama what English 318 has been
offering in poetry, and English 304 in connection with the short story. The
year 1925-26 has seen the putting on of this course, sponsored by the
Alumnae Association, and taught by Miss Nan Stephens, herself a successful
playwright, and at the same time, an Agnes Scott alumna. Six upper-
classmen and two graduate students have been working through the fall on
the technicalities of playwriting.

From eight one-act plays written in the class during the first semester
and submitted to judges chosen from the English faculty, four have been
selected for immediate production, and are now in rehearsal by the Black-
friars, under the direction of Miss Gooch.

The bill which is to be presented Saturday night, February 20th. in-
cludes "The Charm of the Hawthorne", a delightful fantasy by Elizabeth
McCallie. '27: "Aunt Teenie", an atmospheric play depicting the grim
power of the sea, by Grace Augusta Ogden. '26: "The Darned Dress", a play
of the North Carolina mountains by Margaret Bland, '20, and "Values",
by Polly Stone. '24, which deals with an oft-recurring problem of the
conventional modern family.

The class has made a splendid beginning, and in due time we are
hoping that the Agnes Scott playwriting course will be as famous as the
47 Workshop at Harvard.

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

SELECTION OF STUDENTS AT AGNES SCOTT

We believe that a brief explanation of our method of selecting students
will be of some interest to our Alumnae and perhaps clear up some mis-
understanding of the position taken by the college.

Our plan of selection has been developing gradually through a period
of years. For a long while we have had many more applications than we
could accept. Under our old method applicants were accepted in order of
registration. Thus it happened in many cases that poorly prepared students
who registered early were admitted and superior students who registered late
could not be accommodated. This situation led to the adoption of our
present method of selecting our new students.

Occasionally we hear some criticisms of the principle of selection on
the ground that it is unfair to students who plan their college course early
and register far in advance. We admit that it does bring disappointment to
some applicants but we are convinced that our policy is entirely fair. After
the college authorities make a thorough investigation of the applicant and
reach the conclusion that she is poorly prepared and will in all probability
have trouble with her college work here, or have reason to believe that she
is not the type of student who will adjust herself to our student body or
will not be in sympathy with our ideals, is it not fair to her, to the college,
and to our students to reject her application? We need to remember that
Agnes Scott does a particular type of work leading to the one degree and it is
no reflection upon the applicant if we feel that it would be for her good to
go elsewhere. Furthermore, Agnes Scott spends quite a sum of money on
each student. The cost to the college is much more than the student pays
in tuition and other fees. This is necessarily true if we are to keep up our
high standard of equipment and instruction. We are able to do this because
of he endowment funds which friends and alumnae have contributed. In
fairness to those who have given us this help we feel that the resources of
the college should be used in the education of the most worthy students.
This is our position as to the fairness and justice of a plan of selection.

I wish to state some details of our method. An applicant may register
at any time, even late in the summer, and gain admission. However we
urge registration in the fall or early winter before the opening of the session
when the student expects to enter. After registration we begin to make our
investigation of the applicant and we hope to make this even more far-
reaching and searching than it has been in the past, for we are calling on
our alumnae to help us. We secure all possible information and after we
have the complete preparatory school records which is usually about June
fifteenth we make our selection of new students, reserving fifteen or
twenty dormitory spaces which are gradually filled during the summer. In
this way, as stated above, unusually well prepared and highly recommended
applicants may gain admission even with a late registration. Our actual
selection is based upon the following information: (1) the preparation of

6 The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

the student for college work as indicated by the preparatory school record:
(2) the results of a general intelligence test which is required of all appli-
cants: (3) information regarding the applicant's character and personality;
(4) the time of registration (well prepared acceptable applicants who reg-
ister early will of course be given preference over those who register at a
later date).

The results of this plan of selection have been most gratifying. Our
number of automatic exclusions has been reduced tremendously. We have
more students doing high grade work in the first year than ever before, and
above all we are doing more in realizing the Agnes Scott Ideal which
means so much to every loyal alumna.

The continued success of this plan depends on the co-operation of all
who can help us in learning more about our applicants. We urge our
alumnae to help us by sending us the names of high school seniors whom
they would recommend and urge too that they write us fully and frankly
regarding any of our applicants whom they may know. More than all
others our alumnae understand the type of student we want at Agnes Scott.
Help us to carry on!

THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND
PHYSICAL EDUCATION IN A LIBERAL
ARTS COLLEGE

The modern conception of health might revert for its inspiration to
that period in the past when we are told that "God saw everything that
He had made, and behold, it was good". For that is the basis of the newer
conception of health which presents the body as a gift and a responsibility
on which to build. We do not strive for the perfect body merely to have
it so, but we look upon it as being a necessity because of the fact that it is the
cement by which the mind and soul attain their best, the sine qua non of the
whole. Health makes possible the unhandicapped freedom of mind and
spirit.

The relation of the Department of Physical Education at Agnes Scott
to the other departments is largely based on the inter-relations of mind and
body. To get full value out of the four years of college, a student must
have a background of control, of wholesomeness, keenness, and a sense of
lack of strain.

The problems of student health are, in general, those by which we are
confronted in every department of education. First of all, the difficulty of
getting the emphasis in the right place. Many are the discouraging little
freshmen, and upper-classmen too, who do their daily exercise or go on a
hike merely to put it down on the exercise chart, or receive a better grade at
the end of the semester. They have missed the point entirely, and as in
other phases of education, the grade is apt to become to them the important
thing, rather than that for which the grade stands.

The second problem is the student who builds health merely for
health's sake, and does not see that health is for the sake of something
beyond, and not an objective in itself.

Thirdly comes the task of supplanting the unreal by the real of
making it the thing to play the game rather than to be the spectator, to
have hundreds of participants in a sport rather than to turn out one
Olympic swimmer, or one champion team.

And lastly is that problem which is so very universal in all lines, and
even in the life of the individual. It is the difficulty of making the com-
monplace seem interesting, of attaching importance to the routine of health
building, of putting color into the repetition of health habits, trivial, yet
all-important.

In the facing and solution of all these problems the new Bucher Scott
Gymnasium means a great deal. It furnishes us actual means to attain the
end for some of them. It makes attractive all phases of the work, and from
its impetus has come an enthusiasm in the health work, that has produced
better results in one year than we have formerly attained in five, handicapped
as we have been with poor equipment.

8 The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

Not only within the walls of the gymnasium is the work of the
physical education department carried on. On the athletic field, the tennis
courts, hockey ground, outdoor basketball court, at Pine Lodge camp, in
the May Day dances in the new outdoor theatre, through every phase of
campus life runs the scarlet thread of health. The recreational value of
sports, antidoting the stress and strain of college life, the possibilities for
developing through sports absolute values in honesty, fairness, good sports-
manship and leadership, give them their high place in the college program.

A building is a structure of stone and mortar, but the new Bucher
Scott Gymnasium at Agnes Scott shall never be merely that. Our very keen
hope for it is that it will mean the development in the students of a health
conscience and consciousness a strengthening and using of the splendid
resources that come with a perfect development. But that is not all.
Health to infinity is life, and life is a gift, not to tarnish or ill use, but
with which to build more stately mansions for our souls.

NATIONAL STUDENT CONFERENCE FOR DISCUSSION OF THE WORLD
COURT HELD AT PRINCETON, NEW JERSEY, DECEMBER 14, 15, 1925

My impressions of the conference are of a
decidedly mixed variety. Nevertheless. I re-
alize that the dominant feeling is one of
great relief that undergraduates should at
last come together to discuss matters of na-
tional concern no matter though the dis-
cussion itself be of questionable value. There
were two meetings at which the students en
masse carried on discussion to one of these
they invited the general public.

The first general meeting was supposed-
ly a debate between Senator Lenroot and
Clarence Darrow on "Should the United
States Join the Permanent Court of Inter-
national Justice." I suppose Mr. Lenroot
felt is incumbent upon him to uphold the
legend of senatorial speeches. He did that.
Mr. Darrow was much more interested in
Darrow than he was in the World Court
As a result the points scarcely clashed.

The discussion groups, about fifteen in
number, were one of the fine things of the
conference. I went to the group headed by
General Allen, commander of the Rhine

Army of Occupation, where the discussion
was centered on the Locarno treaty. Most
of the delegates in this group were men.
but I did admire the women's part in the
discussion.

The speeches at the last meeting were
worth the entire conference in inspiring the
students and giving them a view of their
relation to life inside and outside college
experience. Dr. George Vincent, the presi-
dent of the Rockefeller Foundation, really
made a brilliant appeal to the students foi
sympathy and understanding. under the
guise of a talk on Human Nature in Inter-
national Events.

Although the unexpected depths of ignor-
ance which the undergraduates at times show-
ed was rather disturbing, there was some-
thing very fine and promising in the group
that met at Princeton. Students of today
arc finding out things that those of a col-
lege generation ago missed. They are ca-
pable of splendid things and they are dis-
covering the way to accomplishment.

THE SALARIED WOMAN WORKER

The so-called Modernist Movement among the women of this country
in the last few years has produced many changes in the status of women
in society and has given her a range of thought and activity that would
have been thought impossible twenty-five years ago.

Three avenues were open to the girl finishing school in 1900. The
first was marriage; the second was school-teaching: the third was business,
and by business in that period we mean only stenographic work or clerking
of some kind. Of these three careers only the first two were really considered
respectable and desirable by her family and friends. We realize just how
radically this situation has been changed when we think that in 1923 nine
million women in this country were employed in gainful occupations, and
now the number is undoubtedly larger.

This change has been caused to a great extent by the tremendous move-
ment for the higher education of women. After completing a college
education, a girl is no longer satisfied to sit at home and wait patiently for
the right man to come along whom she will marry, or to be forced into
school-teaching when she does not feel particularly fitted for it and it does not
especially appeal to her. Her education has taught her to be independent
enough to go out into the business world and find her proper sphere. An-
other cause was the war. It was necessary during 1917-1918. in order to
carry on the business of the country while the men were in the army, that
the women take their places for the duration of the war. After the armistice,
however, the women who had really been contributing something to the in-
dustrial life of the country were unwilling to go back to a life of inactivity,
and the business men to whom they had proven their worth and efficiency
did not want them to go; so a large percent of them remained.

Now that women are in business to stay, the question is frequently
asked, "What professions and industries are open to women?" The answer
is that there is practically no field that is not open to women.

The professions are adding an increasing number of women to their
ranks every year. Women doctors and lawyers are by no means the
rarity that they used to be. And teaching is still holding its own. For
the woman who is primarily interested in welfare work, there are the
many branches of Social Service Work settlement work, probation work,
work in the juvenile courts, relief work, educational work among the for-
eign elements of our big cities, health education, etc., etc. all interesting
and with an unlimited future. Women who are artistically inclined find
their way into interior decorating, designing, landscape gardening, etc.
For women with scientific minds there is laboratory and research work.

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly 11

while those who have a literary turn find more congenial work in pub-
lishing houses or in working out the intricacies and psychology of modern
advertising. Or they may find their sphere in library work. A woman's
natural orderliness and her accurate and methodical manner of handling de-
tails makes her valuable in office work. For some women the secretarial
type of work provides the best expression for natural inclinations and
talents, while the demand for expert stenographers and bookkeepers is al-
ways in excess of the supply. A number of women have entered sales-
manship, and are selling insurance, real estate, or goods of various kinds
with success. Banking has claimed its quota. The assistant cashier of one
of the largest banks in the South is a woman who worked up to that posi-
tion from the ranks.

Women have entered practically every line of business; they have made
good there and are still making good. With constructive thinking and
planning on the part of the women and intelligent and far-sighted voca-
tional guidance on the part of the schools and colleges, there is no field
which women cannot enter and where they cannot succeed.

BOOK REVIEW

"Portrait of a Man with Red Hair", by Hugh Walpole (Doran).

There are more things in Cornwall than are dreamed of in the philoso-
phy of the casual traveler, concerned with sheer cliffs and tiers of houses look-
ing down on yellow sand and a line of sea. There are the things dreamed
of the "Phantasy of a Red Haired Man", by Hugh Walpole, things discov-
ered by Charles Percy Harkness who at Maradick's suggestion set out for
Treliss on the Cornish coast.

The "Portrait of a Man with Red Hair" does not confine itself within
the bounds of probability nor hold itself inhibited from portraying persons
that to the greater part of its readers will seem strange and impossible.
Written as a rest and refreshment it should of course be the sort of a story
that is sometimes scornfully called "readable".

Harkness's was the well-ordered soul that shunned human contact
and traveled in the austere company of seven etchings, a volume of Brown-
ing's poems and a forgotten book called "To Paradise" this last given to
him by Maradick with the direction to Treliss. Everything about him
was deprecating and unobtrusive he filled his neat clothes inadequately, his
hair retreated timidly from the too prominent position of his forehead. He
became frozen with terror at the thought of pain, and he had never been in
love in his life.

Maradick was the deus ex machina of the affair. It was even due to his
suggestion that Harkness went up to take a look at the deserted minstrels
gallery at the top of the Man-at-Arms and from the shadows caught a first
glimpse of Hesther and heard the note of terror in her voice. He didn't
really want to be involved in anyone's difficulties he was not the stuff of
which heroes are made, and he had come for a holiday. Timid gentlemen
do not as a rule actively concern themselves with rescuing unhappily married
girls, nor in matching their wits against extraordinary fathers-in-law whose
flaming red heads and boneless fingers are the least of their eccentricities.
But there was in Harkness more knight-errantry than he knew. Before his
first dinner at the Man-at-Arms was over he was definitely committed to as
fantastic a piece of quixotism as the windmill tilting of the knight of La
Mancha.

The man with red hair enters the story as quietly as a moth from the
garden overlooking the bronze sea; as unobtrusively as is possible to one
with a head like a beacon "une tete glabre" glaring challenge-like above a
face as white as the clown in Paggliacci. There can be no mistake about his
playing the part of the stock villain, but Mr. Walpole has tried to save him
from too summary a "thumbs down" by supplying him with a rueful
spirituality, that breathes its last only a few minutes before the curtain is
rung down upon his defeated villainy.

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly n

The development of the "neat white pocket-handkerchief" soul of
Harkness in his extraordinary day and night is nearly as incredible as the
reformation of Crispin, which didn't happen. A few minutes after his
impulsive promise of aid to Hesther he found himself taking part in a
frenzied dance around the town, a custom surviving from Druid times; and
then in a room of the Feathered Duck listening to Hesther's story from a
wandering seaman named Dunbar. Events moved swiftly at Treliss. By
10:30 of the first night he had embarked upon an adventure that was to
take him into the house of a mad-man, a dangerous flight and a nearly
fatal return.

As a tale it is not wholly the series of sensational incidents that a
chronicle of its events promises. Cornwall sees to it that it is not so.

NOTES FROM THE ALUMNAE OFFICE

MISS McDOUGALL HONORED

Miss Mary Stuart McDougall, head of the
department of Biology, has received a signal
honor by being asked to teach during the
spring term at Johns Hopkins University in
the course of Protozoology in the School of
Hygiene and Public Health. A short leave
of absence has been arranged for her. She
will devote the summer months to research
work, and return to her work at Agnes
Scott in the fall. Professor George Hugh
Boyd of the Georgia School of Technology
is substituting in the department for Miss
McDougall during the spring.

PLAY CONTEST POSTPONED

It has just been announced by Miss
Mary Wallace Kirk, chairman of the Louise
McKinney Play Contest Committee, that nc
prize award will be made this year. The
committee has felt that the reason that no
more plays have been submitted in the con-
test in the past was that proper instruction
in the technicalities of play writing was
lacking. This year the alumnae are spon-
soring at the college a course in play-writing,
under the direction of Miss Nan Stephens.
It is in order that the member of this class
may have an opportunity to enter the con-
test that the final award, which was to have
been made this May. has been postponed un-
til May. 1927. All plays must be in the
hands of the judges by January 1, 192 7.

TRIANGULAR DEBATE

Pi Alpha Phi. the debating club, is busily
preparing for the annual triangular debate,
which will be held on Friday. March 19th.
Agnes Scott will be hostess to Randolph-
Macon this year, and our visiting team will
go to Sophie Newcomb. The subject for
the debate is, Resolved. That China should
at the present time be. granted complete con-
trol over her customs, tariff, and foreign-
ers within her boundaries. The members of
the two debating teams have not yet been
announced.

Y. W. C. A. LIBRARY

The Y. W J . C. A. has started a two-
cents-a-day library of current fiction in the
old cabinet room in Rebecca Scott lobby.
It corresponds with the faculty book clut
in furnishing to the students the newest and
best in fiction. The cabinet room has been
turned into a reading room, and books may
be taken out and returned every afternoon
from five to six, and on Saturday from
eleven thirty to twelve thirty. The library
was opened with about twenty-five books,
but since the beginning of the session many
more have been purchased with the rent
from the first twenty-five.

PRESIDENT OF A. A. U. W. YISITS
AGNES SCOTT

Mrs. Aurelia Henry Reinhardt. president
of Mills College. Oakland. California, and
the president of the American Association
of University Women, was a guest at the
college on January 28th. and spoke to the
student body at the chapel hour that morn-
ing. This is the second president of the
American Association of Universitv Women
to visit Agnes Scott. Mrs. Ada Comstock,
president of Radcliffe. was here about five
years ago. The association has had only
the two presidents and Agnes Scott feels that
she is very fortunate in having the oppor-
tunity of entertaining both of them. On
Thursday night. January 28th. the faculty
and seniors were invited to meet Mrs. Rein-
hardt at a reception in the Alumnae House.
While at the college. Mrs. Reinhardt was
the guest of the administration, and of Miss
Hearon. Director of the South Atlantic field
of the A. A. U. W.

FOUNDERS DAY

The Senior class are busy with plans for
their part in Founders' Day dinner. George
and Martha Washington. LaFayette. Jeffer-
son. Betsy Ross. Patrick Henry. Franklin.
Boone and other notables are to be present
that night, and the colonial ladies and gentle-
men who are to take part in the minuet
in the gym after dinner are already prac-
ticing.

FRESHMAN PUBLISHES BOOK OF
VERSES

It is not often that a college freshman
has a volume of her poems published, but
Helen Ward Thompson, an Atlanta girl,
and a member of the class of 1929. has
this distinction. Her first volume. "O.
Journey Again." came from the press in
November.

MR. RANKIN CALLED TO DUKE

has been at Agnes Scott for the past five
years as the head of the department of
Mathematics, has been elected by the Trus-
tees to the faculty of Duke University.

the fall of 1926. Professor Rankin is a na-
tive North Carolinian. No announcement
has yet been made by Dr. McCain as to who
will head the mathematics department at
Agnes Scott for the next year.

WITH THE COLLEGE CLUBS

ATLANTA, GEORGIA

Miss Isabel Dew was the hostess of the
Atlanta Agnes Scott Club for its regular
January meeting.

The bazaar held in December was quite
a success, clearing $148.00. A vote of
thanks was given Mrs. Candler for the use
of her home and the large part she had in
making the bazaar a success.

The club voted to have only three rum-
mage sales a year instead of four having
them in October, March, and June. Another
motion passed was that we do away with
the carnival this spring.

The Federation of Women's Clubs sent
a request to us that we join the other clubs
of Georgia in petitioning Governor Walker
for Vital Statistics in Georgia. The club
resolved to do this.

The following committee chairmen were
announced :

Jane (Harwell) Rutland Membership
Committee.

Carol (Stearns) Wey Program Com-
mittee.

Allie (Candler) Guy Ways and Means
Committee.

Elizabeth (Pruden) Fagan Publicity
Committee.

Dr. Goode. Professor of English at Agnes
Scott, was a guest of the club, and gave a
most interesting talk on that department at
the college.

A social hour was very much enjoyed
over its hostess's delightful refreshments.
MARIE S. Hoppe, Secretary.

BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA

The Birmingham Club gave a tea on
Thursday afternoon, December 31st, at the
home of Mrs. F. M. Barker, honoring the
Birmingham girls who are now studying at
the college: Olivia Swann, Mary Ray
Dobyns. Hulda McNeel, Martha Riley Sel-
man. Eloise Harris, Leone Bowers, and
Helen Ridley. The mothers of these girls,
and two high school girls who are going to
Agnes Scott next year were also invited.
Mrs. H. H. Gifford was the chairman who
managed everything, and to whom much
of the credit is due for the success of the
party. Mrs. John Chisolm poured tea, and
Elizabeth Ransom, Dorothy (Bowron)
Collins, and Anna Meade assisted in receiv-
ing. The rain poured in torrents all after-
noon, but quite a number of people came
even Dr. Dobyns came in to get a cup
of tea, and everyone had a lovely time.

At the last meeting of the club, the fi-
nancial situation was discussed, and then the
afternoon was turned over to Eugenia
Thompson, who gave a most interesting re-
view of "Porgy." Eugenia had met Mr. and
Mrs. Heyward at the college last year, and
she contributed several personal comments

and anecdotes to her review which added a
great deal to the discussion which followed.
The last meeting of the club was on Jan-
uary 28th. ANNA MEADE. Secretary.

DECATUR, GEORGIA

At the January meeting of the Decatur
Agnes Scott Club plans were discussed for
the dinner and radio program on the night
of February 2 2d, Founders' Day. The
committee on the Rummage sale reported a
successful sale, clearing $87.30. Mrs. Au-
gustine Sams turned over to the treasury a
sum of $5.25, the proceeds from the an-
nual Baby Show. It was announced that
the Decatur Club would receive one-half
the proceeds from the production of the
plays written by the members of Miss Step-
hens drama class which are to be presented
by the Blackfriars on the night of February
20th. After the business of the day was
finished, the members present spent the rest
of the afternoon preparing posters to be used
in advertising Agnes Scott in the prepara-
tory schools. Refreshments were served and
the meeting adjourned.

LUCILLE PhippEN, Secretary.

NEW YORK CITY

On Sunday afternoon. November 1st,
fifteen Agnes Scott girls met at Julia In-
gram's (Mrs. L. B. Hazzard) and organized
an Agnes Scott Club. The following of-
ficers were elected: Mrs. Hazzard, presi-
dent: Elizabeth Wilson, vice-president: Mrs.
C. J. McCullough (Dorothy Havis), treas-
urer, and Hester McMurry, secretary.

True most of the girls in New York are
students, consequently their stay here is more
or less temporary, however, we felt that
with the few permanent ones, and the con-
tinual flow of students from Agnes Scott
to Columbia, we ought to be able to keep
up an enthusiastic club.

I am quite sure that there are some girls
here whom we haven't been able to get in
touch with. In several cases the notices
which were sent out to the addresses given
in the Alumnae Register were returned un-
claimed. As we are most anxious to get
in touch with every Agnes Scott girl in
New York, we would appreciate any in-
formation that can be given us, and if those
girls who have friends living here would
either send me their names and addresses,
or ask them to get in touch with me, I for
one would be very grateful, and know the
club would appreciate it very much.

Our club hasn't been organized long
enough to work out any definite plans
(having had only one meeting) . but we
hope to make some interest'ng plans for this
Winter. The meetings are to be held on the
evening of the second Wednesday of every
month. HESTER MCMURRY. Secretary.

thirteen miles. We love it out here, and I am
afraid we shall never be satisfied in town again.
I have a troup of girl scouts, twenty high school
girls who meet in the county seat twice a month.
Don't imagine us hopelessly lost in the back-
woods, however, for we are only fifty miles
north of Montgomery, and drive down there for
a day's shopping quite often."

ing, too. She writes "We are living a very quiet

was chaperoning, and sat down at the table
next us.

"On Sunday morning we went to hear Dr.

Cady whom you would have known anywhere !
She and her sister are living in Springfield,
New York, and had come up for a brief holiday.
"We called at Miss Markley's office, but she
had gone home for the holidays so we did not
see her. Little did we dream in the days at
Agnes Scott that we would ever be going to
Brooklyn to have tea with M : ss LeGate ! But
such happened, for she, now Mrs. Leslie Strick-
land, invited us over, and we spent a delightful
afternoon with her, talking of Agnes Scott
friends. In the words of the society editor : Mrs.
Strickland was assisted in entertaining her
guests by her charming little daughter, Phyllis."
She is really a prescious baby and so good.

Our reunion, 1921-1926.

With the prospect of a big gathering for our
fifth reunion this year, we should begin to make
some really thrilling preparations. What would
you like to do? Have a class camp out at Stone
Mountain ? What about a swimming party in
the new pool and a picnic afterward ? Shall we
have a class costume? Who's going to get up
our class stunt ? Why not send in some sug-
gestions as to what you want ? Perhaps it can
be arranged so that all of us who return can
be together in the same building. and we
wouldn't have to be quiet after ten either ! There
are. we hear, some strange stories to be ex-
plained the correspondence course in hair-dress-
ing, and that weird dinner party are among
them.

You'll doubtless be hearing soon from several
people in regard to our reunion, meanwhile you'd
better make some plans to be there.

It would be an excellent idea if every one of
us in the class could be paying members of the
Alumnae Association it does add much to one's
knowledge of college affairs to get the Alum-
nae Quarterly. Many of us haven't Paid our
dues to the association for several years. Why
don't we surprise ourselves and the rest of the
alumnae by an every-member-paid-up-reunion-
year ? Send your dues to Polly Stone, Alumnae
Secretary, at the Alumnae House.

Plan now to come back in May !

Surprising fact! Lucile (Smith) Bishop, 523
E. Livingston Ave.. Orlando. Florida, has an-
swered a letter ! Of course the fact that she has
a peddlar for a husband keeps her moving from
Cuba to New York. but then one can get free
stationary in the hotels ! Upon close question-
ing she admits that despite the broadening ef-
fect of travel she has become completely Flor-
ida-ized. "Did you ever hear of a garage apart-
ment ? That's the way we do it in Florida.
We have a garage on the rear of the lot. with
an apartment above. When we have turned our
sand into millions we shall have a home on the
front of the lot and rent the apartment to
tourists." Lucile is continuing to study voice;
after a lapse of several years she says it given
quite a kick.

one of the Spanish type, but she says the city is

play as song leader during her college days.

I have loved being at home this winter. I can't
realize that everybody else is doing something
and I am not, but it really is a joy to be at
home, and I haven't been idle by any means,
because people with neither job nor husband
are expected to do a great many things, es-
pecially in a small town. We have had lots of
company this Christmas and I have had a huge
time entertaining all the 'sisters, and the cousins
and the aunts' (Oh, the night we saw 'Pina-
fore' from the Atlanta peanut!) I just looked

up from writing this letter to see an old-fash-
ioned prairie schooner passing up the street.
Every now and then we see these last vestiges

entine that Vic used to sing about so voci-
ferously."

ing. But now I have come down here for a
big experience and I'm getting more than my
money's worth. I came to teach History, but
am in charge of a very obstreperous 7th grade
(a few boys larger than I). The young lady
who preceded me was asked to resign because this
same 7th grade was taking the roof off the
building right over her dead body so maybe
you have an idea I teach a little of everything
but mainly am I a disciplinarian. The first day
when I came home and looked in the mirror I
was afraid of my own stern countenance, and I
think it has grown that way. I'm all prepared
to wear out some young lads trousers but haven't
yet. My opportunity will come though, and I
do hope I don't lose my nerve. Every day, I
recall what Miss McKinney told me: 'You will
learn more than they for two years.' On the

COME BACK FOR COMMENCEMENT

"When Spring comes round with rustling shade.
And apple blossoms fill the air
When Spring brings back blue days and fair ,"
then it's May in Georgia!

Agnes Scott Commencement this year is to be on the week-end of May
22-25, just when the campus is looking its very loveliest. The College
gates are always hospitably open to returning alumnae, but especially at
commencement time are the "old-timers'' welcomed back to the College
they love the most.

Dear old Agnes Scott girls, this is a most cordial invitation to you to
come back this year and revisit your College, to warm your hearts with pride
by learning more of its rapid and sure growth, to see the progressive changes
on the campus with your own eyes, and while admiring the new, to see
again the dear old places, too, to stroll along the winding paths beneath
the same old oaks, and live again the happy years you spent on Agnes Scott
campus.

Every year more and more is made of class reunions, and this com-
mencement we have planned such a big time for returning alumnae as was
never heard of before. From Alumnae Headquarters (which will be our
lovely Anna Young Alumnae House, of course,) we intend to take the en-
tire campus, and have such a glorious good time that the "stoodents" will
sit up and take notice, and long for the May when they are "old-timers" and
can come back and put on such a reunion.

All classes ending in '__1 and '. 6 are to meet at the Alumnae House
this year for one of the biggest gatherings of alumnae in the history of the
College. Not only are the reunion classes invited to return, but any "old
girls," graduates or non-graduates, will be welcome. The fact that you
live in Tennessee or Virginia or Arkansas must not keep you away for a
minute! Why, Anna Marie (Landress) Cate, '21, is bringing her two lit-
tle Cates all the way from Korea to show them proudly to the class of '21
on their five-year reunion!

Followeth the commencement program for alumnae, which has been
worked out with equal parts of joy and hard work just so that when you
arrive Friday night or Saturday morning (or Saturday afternoon if you be-
long to the laboring class and your boss's heart is hard) you can slip right
back into the spirit of Agnes Scott and enjoy every minute of this week-end
that comes only once in five years!

ALFRED KREYMBORG LECTURES AT AGNES SCOTT

The College Lecture Association was glad to present on April 15th
the poet, dramatist, and editor. Mr. Alfred Kreymborg. Mr. Kreymborg
has written a number of volumes of poetry wherein he proclaims himself
a rebel against conventions of form and content in poetry: he has con-
tributed many plays to the American theatre, in an ever individual form of
comedy, romance, and rythym: he has edited three anthologies of the radical
poets; and he has won further fame and popularity in the recent publication
of his interesting book, "Troubadours." which is already in its fourth edition.
Mr. Kreymborg afforded a unique and delightful evening to the Agnes Scott
audience, by reading one of his plays and chanting many of his poems to
the accompaniment of the mandolute. (an instrument which is a cross be-
tween a mandolin and a lute) . Mr. Kreymborg had planned to bring his
puppet plays of the Mushroom Theatre to Agnes Scott but on account of
the illness of his wife who assists him in manipulating the puppets, he was
unable to do so this time. The repertory of the Mushroom Players is en-
tirely composed of his own plays, poems, and pantomimes.

Mr. Kreymborg's lecture was the last in the series brought to the
college this year by the Lecture Association. Other speakers were Mr. John
Drinkwater. Professor Edward P. Cheyney. and the Count Byron de Prorock,

THRONGS WITNESS MAY DAY DANCES

May Day! How the name brings up a thousand memories to those
of us who have anxiously peeped through the protecting background of
bushes at the enormous crowd of spectators, before whom we should
presently be whirling and skipping and waltzing; or, if such were denied
to us, sat on cushions on the front row, watching our more graceful room
mates, and friends transformed into fairies, spirits of smoke, snowdrops,
Grecian maidens!

This year May Day was bigger and better than ever before. It was
held, instead of under the "May Day Oak," down in the woods in our
new amphitheatre, beyond the new gymnasium. The orchestra was larger
this year and the cast consisted of a hundred and seventy girls where here-
tofore there have never been more than a hundred and thirty or forty.

The scenario was written by Caroline Essig and the title was "The
Triumph of Spring." Briefly, the story is as follows: A little Elf has
the Golden Apple, "Youth," which was stolen by Winter from the Hes-
perides. All the flowers beg for the apple. The Elf calls the most beau-
tiful maiden in all the world to decide which shall have it. The May
Queen and her attendants enter. Then the flowers of the various nations
come to dance before the Queen. There are dancers from the American
Indian, Ancient Greece, Japan, Holland, Hungaria, Scandinavia, China,
Spain, and Old England. At the close of the dances of the nations, the
Queen rises and says that each one is perfect and as the pervading spirit of
all is Spring, she will give the apple to her. When, however, the Queen
turns to get the apple she finds that the little Elf has eaten half of it. So
Spring, who rules only half the year, gets just half the Golden Apple which
is "Youth."

The May Queen, Edythe Coleman, of Atlanta, was beautiful in a
dress of white taffeta. Her fourteen attendants also wore taffeta dresses in
pastel shades and carried old-fashioned bouquets. Hundreds of visitors
from Atlanta, Decatur, and from out of town thronged the campus during
the afternoon to witness this great spring spectacle which the College puts
on each May, and which each year attracts an increasingly large number of
spectators.

INSTITUTION OF THE BETA CHAPTER OF GEORGIA OF PHI
BETA KAPPA IN AGNES SCOTT

The outstanding event of the year at Agnes Scott was the institution,
March 23rd, of the chapter of Phi Beta Kappa that was granted to the Col-
lege last September. As President Thwing of the United Chapters was in
Europe, the secretary, Doctor Oscar M. Voorhees was commissioned by
President Thwing to conduct the exercises.

At four o'clock Doctor Voorhees and the charter members assembled
in the Propylean Hall and Doctor Voorhees proceeded to organize the
chapter. After the chapter was installed and the officers elected the chapter
proceeded to the formal election of new members. President James Ross
McCain was elected as a Foundation member.

It was a deep disappointment to the charter members to find in draw-
ing up their by-laws that the regulations of the United Chapters restrict the
consideration of alumnae for election to those whose day of graduation
dates back fifteen years. Through much correspondence it was found im-
possible to modify this regulation. Under this provision the alumnae of
only six classes were eligible and, as those six early classes were small, only
six alumnae members were elected. They are:

Ida Lee Hill Irvin, '06.

Lizzabel Saxon, '08.

Ruth Marion Wisdom. '09.

Margaret McCallie, '09.

Lucile Alexander, '11.

Mary Wallace Kirk, '11.

Five members in course were elected from the class of 1926. They are:

Grace Augusta Ogden, Mobile. Alabama.

Juanita Greer, Atlanta, Georgia.

Isabel Clarke, Atlanta, Georgia.

Margaret Whittington, Atlanta, Georgia.

Nan Russell Lingle, Richmond, Virginia.

These candidates were all present and, with two other candidates
elected to membership in the Gamma Chapter of North Carolina, and the
Gamma of Iowa, respectively, were duly initiated. Following the initiation
the new members were welcomed into Phi Beta Kappa by Doctor Voorhees
and the other members of the Society.

The initiation was followed by a dinner given by the College to the
Phi Beta Kappa Society in the Anna Young Alumnae House. There were
sixty-five present including Trustees of the College and representatives of
twenty-one chapters. The tables in the Silhouette Tea Room were ar-
ranged in banquet style and lovely with daffodils, pussy-willows and other
spring flowers and the dinner was beautifully served by the very efficient
staff of the Alumnae House. Professor Holt, president of the Beta of
Georgia chapter, presided and Doctor McCain welcomed the guests and
pledged that Agnes Scott College would maintain the ideals and standards
of Phi Beta Kappa. Mr. Dudley Cowles made a brief speech as the rep-
resentative of Phi Beta Kappa in Atlanta and greetings were received from
representatives of the chapters in Randolph-Macon College, Goucher Col-
lege, the University of Georgia, the University of North Carolina, Davidson
College and Johns Hopkins University.

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

Shortly before half-past eight o'clock the meeting adjourned to the
auditorium in the new gymnasium. The speakers of the evening, the rep-
resentatives of other chapters, the charter members and the new members en-
tered in academic procession. After songs by the Glee Club, and a brief
speech by Professor Holt, the charter was presented to the chapter by Doctor
Voorhees and read aloud to the audience. The presentation was followed
by a discussion by Doctor Voorhees of the traditions and ideals that Phi
Beta Kappa intrusted to the Beta of Georgia Chapter. Professor Holt then
introduced the speaker of the evening, Professor R. E. Park of the Alpha of
Georgia Chapter, who spoke in a most compelling manner of the responsi-
bility of the scholar in the community. Following Professor Park, Doctor
Voorhees spoke more at length on the ideals and influence of Phi Beta
Kappa and the distinction and achievements of its members. The meeting
was adjourned with the singing of Alma Mater.

The Beta Chapter of Georgia is especially appreciative of the warmth
of the welcome extended to it by the members of Phi Beta Kappa in Georgia
and the chapters in the South Atlantic District. On the evening preceding
the institution of the chapter, a dinner was given to the charter members and
the members-elect by Phi Beta Kappa in Atlanta at the Piedmont Driving
Club at which time the President, Mr. Dudley R. Cowles, and other speak-
ers expressed their hearty approval of the new chapter. The following after-
noon and evening the President and many of the other members of Phi Beta
Kappa in Atlanta showed their interest further by attendance on the cere-
monies at Agnes Scott. Many members of the Society from other parts
of the state were also present. The chapters of the District were cordial in
their letters of congratulations and were well represented by official delegates
and other members at the institution of the chapter.

AGNES SCOTT VICTORIOUS IN INTERCOLLEGIATE
DEBATES

The annual intercollegiate debates between Agnes Scott, Randolph-
Macon Womans College, and Sophie Newcomb were held this year on the
night of March 19th. According to custom, the affirmative team of each
college stayed at home, and the negative team was sent out to battle with the
"friendly enemy." Randolph-Macon debated Agnes Scott at Decatur, Ga. ;
Agnes Scott debated Sophie Newcomb at New Orleans, La.; and Sophie
Newcomb met Randolph-Macon on its home ground at Lynchburg, Va.
The subject for debate was "Resolved, that China should be given at the
present time complete control over her customs-tariffs, and foreigners within
her boundaries." Elsa Jacobsen. Janet McDonald and Louisa White, alter-
nate, represented Agnes Scott at home, and Catherine Graeber, Eloise Harris
and Mary Loyd Davis, alternate, chaperoned by Miss Hearon, went to
Sophie Newcomb. True to unbroken precedent, the decision at Agnes
Scott was given in favor of the affirmative. Isabel Ferguson, '25, herself
a former intercollegiate debater, presided, and as soon as she had read the
decision, and the Alma Mater had been sung, the crowd surged over to the
Main Building to await the phone call from Miss Hearon at Newcomb.
When the message came that we were victorious there also, a shout went up
that Miss Hearon said she heard all the way to New Orleans. Agnes Scott
has won nine of the twelve debates she has taken part in since the triangular
arrangement was started six years ago. Sophie Newcomb was victorious
over Randolph-Macon this year in Lynchburg.

PINE LODGE AND VENABLE GUEST COTTAGE ARE AGNES

SCOTT CAMPS

Agnes Scott students realized a long-cherished dream when, in the
spring of 1924, the doors of "Pine Lodge," their camp at Stone Mountain,
were formally opened. They have been informally open ever since, and
not a single Saturday has passed which has not seen a bus-full of week-end
campers from the College drive up the winding road through the woods to
Pine Lodge. It is a charming little brown cabin situated in a grove of
hickory and pine trees overlooking the Venable lake. Mr. Sam Venable
who owns Stone Mountain and a large tract of land adjoining it. very
graciously gave the College the privilege of building the Lodge on his private
estate, about half a mile from his own beautiful summer home. Inside the
Lodge, there is a long comfortable living room extending across the front
of the house, where a big leather davenport drawn up before the huge fire-
place made of Stone Mountain granite adds greatly to the comfort and at-
tractiveness of the room. In the back there is a sleeping porch with double
decker built-in beds, and a convenient little kitchen equipped with a wood
stove and a sufficient supply of pots and pans to prepare meals for fifteen
week-end guests and the camp appetites that a climb up Stone Mountain or
a swim in the lake gives them.

Just across the lake from Pine Lodge is the guest cottage belonging to
the Venables, which they have turned over to the Agnes Scott girls to use
from September to June of every year. It has a spacious verandah from
which you get an exquisite view of mountain and lake, and inside the house

The Agnes Scott A l umnae Quarterly 9

is a piano, another huge stone fireplace, a full length mirror, in short, all
the comforts of home. Now two parties of ten or more each can go out
every week-end to rusticate after the intellectual storm of the week. Agnes
Scott can never thank the Venables enough for their kindness and the many
thoughtful things they have done for their week-end neighbors.

There are quite enough amusements at Pine Lodge and the Guest Cot-
tage to fill every minute of a too-short week-end. There is always the grey
old mountain towering up behind the Lodge and challenging you to a stiff
climb. There are beautiful paths winding away through the woods to ex-
plore, and after spring comes, if there is an approved life-saver in the party
and Miss Randolph has marked the limits with turkey red flags, and Dr.
Sweet has killed all the typhoid germs, there is swimming in the Venable
lake. In the evening, there is always dancing and stunts. If the night is
warm you can sit out on the verandahs in the moonlight and sing to the
campers across the lake, or if it is a cool November evening, gather around
the fire blazing in the huge stone fireplace.

Pine Lodge welcomes Agnes Scott's daughters, old and young. Dur-
ing the summer months when the present generation of students is away
on summer vacations, the alumnae or faculty are enjoying its peace and
beauty. This year for the first time, it is to work in with the general
scheme of things during commencement week-end, for the class of '21 is to
spend a day and night of their reunion there.

Pine Lodge is a very important part of Agnes Scott life now we mar-
vel that we ever got along without it!

10 The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

NEW READING COURSES OFFERED TO ALUMNAE

The experiment tried for the first time during 1925-26 by the Alumnae
Association of offering reading courses to the members of the Association
has worked out so successfully that the curriculum committee, which is in
charge of this work, is announcing not only that the same courses will be
available for study during 1926-27, but four new courses are to be added.
The outlines used this year dealt with the following subjects:
Art History.
Modern Drama.
Modern Poetry.
Sociology.

History of Europe Since 1870.
The new courses are to be:

Music Appreciation, prepared by Mr. Dieckman.

Politics, Government and Parliamentary Law, prepared by Miss

Hearon.
Child Psychology, prepared by Mr. Stukes.
Modern French Reading Course, prepared by Miss Alexander.
The charge for the outline of each course is $1.00. Only one outline
will be sent to an alumna, at a time, but on completion of any course the
secretary will be glad to send another outline.

Although the majority of us resent very keenly the unjust remark of
Mr. James Branch Cabell's that "the South is an intellectual Sahara," many
of the alumnae who have taught in some of the tiny towns we find in the
South would be almost ready to agree with him. The work in the College
after College courses, arranged by the Curriculum Committee has been
eagerly carried on this year by a number of the alumnae, but a great cry has
gone up from those stranded in towns such as the ones just mentioned, that
they cannot do the work satisfactorily because they cannot obtain the nec-
essary books. Many of these towns have no libraries, or very inadequate ones
connected with the High Schools and containing only the books for re-
quired reading in High School courses; and it is impossible for any one to
buy from a school teacher's salary check the twelve or fourteen books used
in each college after college course. Yet these same small town teachers were
among the ones who manifested the greatest interest in the courses and wish-
ed to do the work.

At this very critical time in the life of the College after College courses
(for without help they would most certainly have perished), Miss Jean
Davis, professor of Sociology and Economics, came to the rescue with a
generous personal gift of the following fifteen volumes, needed in connection
with the general course in Sociology.

The Standard of Living Cornish.

Principles of Labor Legislation Commons and Andrews.

Heredity and Environment Conklin.

The Causes of Industrial Unrest Fitch.

Taboo and Genetics Knight, Peters and Blanchard.

Human Origins McCurdy, Vols. 1 and 2.

Representative Government in Industry Myers.

The Lady Putnam.

Social Work in the Light of History Queen.

What is Social Case Work? Richmond.

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly 11

Social Control Ross.

Criminology Sutherland.

The Scientific Spirit and Social Work Todd.

American Economic Life and the Means of Its Improvement Tug-
well, Munro, Stryker.

Problems of Subnormality Wallin.

These books have established their headquarters in the Alumnae office,
but they are to be mailed out to any alumna on request and the price of
postage, and it is expected that they will have very little opportunity to sit
unused on the Alumnae Bookshelf.

Miss Davis has helped the alumnae in a very vital way. Can we not
dream that others, seeing the usefulness of such a circulating library among
the alumnae, will add more volumes to this collection and so fill a great need
among us?

NEW BOOK OF VIEWS

One of the most welcome college publi-
cations of the year is the new book of cam-
pus views, which came from the press in
March. The old view book was decidedly
passe, not even containing a picture of the
Alumnae House, which celebrated its fourth
birthday last month. Other new pictures
are several good interiors and exterior views
of the new Bucher Scott gymnasium-audi-
torium and the same views of the college
camp at Stone Mountain that are printed in
this issue of the Quarterly. Any alumna
who would be interested in having one of
these books of views can obtain it by writ-
ing to the Alumnae Secretary.

SHRUBBERY PLANTED BY
ALUMNAE

The Alumnae Association committee on
beautifying buildings and grounds has done
a most satisfying piece of work in the foun-
dation planting that was done in March
around the sides and rear of Inman Hall, and
behind the Alumnae House. Several years
ago, shrubs and dwarf evergreens were
planted by this committee in front of Inman
and during the time that has elapsed since
then they have added greatly to the looks
of the dormitory. These new shrubs are
exactly the same kind and already they have
helped the looks of this side of the cam-
pus a great deal.

RADIO PROGRAM

The radio program which was broadcast
by the College Glee Club on Founders' Day
was a phenomenal success. This is by far
the biggest thing we have ever attempted in
the way of publicity, and the excellent sta-
tion used (WSB, the Atlanta Journal), the
splendid weather which made it easy to pick
up the program, and the loyal response of
alumnae over the country, all combined to
let hundreds of people scattered over the en-
tire United States know that not only does
the Atlanta Journal, Atlanta Georgia, cover
Dixie like the dew, but that Agnes Scott is
a great college and a well loved one.

A notice of the program had been sent
out beforehand from the Alumnae office to
every girl who ever attended Agnes Scott,
and on the appointed night, they were lis-
tening in and eagerly waiting to hear Miss
Hopkins' and Dr. Cain's voices. Telegrams,
long distance phone calls, and letters were
received from twenty-seven states in the Un-
ion, from California to New York to Flor-
ida. Until some other invention comes
along to take the place of radio, a program
of songs and speeches will continue to be
broadcasted from the college every Foun-
ders' Day.

ALUMNAE PLAYS WIN SUCCESS
The three one-act plays written by the
members of Miss Nan Stephens' play-writ-
ing class have won fame and glory for Agnes
Scott outside the campus gates. The first
performance, which was given at the Col-
lege on February 20th, was such a success
that the Charlotte, North Carolina, Agnes
Scott club asked the Blackfriars to come to

joint sponsors for this performance. On
April 13th. the same bill of plays was given
a third time this performance being in At-
lanta in the Woman's Club Auditorium,
sponsored by the city Drama League. The

achieved by the Blackfriars, Miss Nan Ste-
phens, teacher of the class, who is a mem-

MISS HEARON HONORED

Miss Cleo Hearon, head of the depart-
ment of English at the College, has been
invited by the Carnegie Endowment for In-
ternational Peace to go to Europe this sum-
mer to study International Relations. This
conference has as its object the desire to
make American teachers more familiar with
international problems and to help them in
their investigations along this line. About
fifty teachers in American universities and col-
leges, who are especially interested in the
study and teaching of international rela-
tions, will form the party. They will visit
Paris, The Hague, and Geneva, and will
have an unusual opportunity to visit many
places of interest, such as the Permanent
Court of International Justice, the Perma-
nent Court of Arbitration, the Academy of
International Law all at the Hague and
the League of Nations at Geneva.

CONVENTION OF ALUMNI
SECRETARIES

Polly Stone, '24, general secretary of the
Alumnae Association, attended the thirt-
eenth annual conference of Alumni and
Alumnae Secretaries held in Columbus,
Ohio, upon invitation of the Ohio State
University, April 15, 16. and 17. One
hundred and twenty-two secretaries, repre-
senting ninety-one colleges and universities
in the United States and Canada sent rep-
resentatives. The various problems which
confront the secretary in his work were
discussed, and a magazine clinic held to
analyze the different alumni publications.
Among the inspirational speakers at the con-
vention were President George W. Right-
mire of Ohio State University; Professor
William J. Newlin of Amherst College;
Dr. Clarence Cook Little, President of the
University of Michigan; and Dr. Harry A.
Garfield, President of Williams College. The
convention will be held in the South next
spring.

ASHEVILLE, N. C, ORGANIZES
LOCAL CLUB

The Agnes Scott alumnae in Asheville.
have been wanting to form themselves in-
to a club for some time, and during the
spring holidays, when Miss Lucile Alex-
ander of the French Department was visit-
ing in Asheville, they seized the opportun-
ity of starting off the club under her inspira-
tion. E. (Moss) Harris, the secretary of
the club, writes:

"Beth Taylor invited us to meet at her
house, 34 Courtland Ave., on Wednesday,
March 31st, at 3:30 P. M. We were all
so glad to see Miss Alexander, and to
know that she will be here all next sum-
mer. The alumnae present were:

Jeanette Archer, '22 (from Montreat) ;

Maurine Bledsoe, '17;

Catherine Carrier, '25:

Virginia Carrier. '28;

Eloise Gaines. '28 ;

Reba Barnard;

Elizabeth (Moss) Harris, '20;

Bess McConnell;

Margaret McConnell, '20;

Catherine Randolph, '25;

Ruth (Warner) Stout, ex '24.

Catherine Carrier was elected President;
Beth Taylor, Vice-President, and Elizabeth
(Moss) Harris. Secretary-Treasurer. We
decided to meet the last Saturday in every
month, but our next meeting will be May
1st. as Jeannette Archer is going to Atlanta
for Grand Opera week and we want her
report on opera and doings at the college as
part of the program.

OTHER CLUBS

The other Agnes Scott clubs are carry-
ing on their work steadily and quietly. The
Atlanta club is completing plans for re-
furnishing the living room of the Anna
Young Alumnae House next year. They will
have the new curtains up by commence-
ment of this year. The Decatur club is
busy with plans for their annual spring
rummage sale to make their pockets jingle.
The Baby show plans are well under way,
also, and they have volunteered to keep
fresh flowers in all the rooms of the
Alumnae House during commencement. The
Richmond club presented the House with
a doorstop in March. It represents a lovely
little old fashioned lady with wide pink
skirts, and is used in the 1921 room. It
was painted by Louise Payne, ex 1 1 , a mem-
ber of the club. The president of the Birm-
ingham club has done a wonderful year's
work with her group. They are planning
a mysterious gift to the Alumnae House with
the surplus in their treasury, but until com-
mencement time no one is to know the na-
ture of the gift. Other clubs are busily
winding up their work for the year, and
making plans for even better and bigger
achievements during the coming months.

Ida Lee (Hill) Irvin is our most illustrious
member, being the first graduate of Agnes Scott
to be taken into the chapter of Phi Beta Kappa
installed at the college in March. She was a
guest at the Alumnae House during the installa-
tion. A recent letter from her reads : "The
life of a mother of three has variety aplenty.
Between nursing chicken pox. which the children
developed while I was at the Phi Beta Kappa
initiation, painting Easter eggs, and getting
ready for our "trek" to Valdosta in June, I am
very busy. If you do not believe getting ready
and taking three small children, their mother,
grandmother and "Mammy" on a three hundred
mile trip through the country is a job that
calls into use all of the brains you ever trained
at college and some you didn't just try it. All
this year I have been in the third grade with
my oldest girl, and now after being initiated into
Phi Beta Kappa, next year I shall be demoted
to the first grade, with the entrance of my
oldest boy to school. All three children continue
to puzzle me with their questions in theology,
and other things. So while I am not adding
M.A.'s and Ph.D.'s to my Agnes Scott A.B., my
brain is not shrivelling from absolute lack of
use."

Speaking of degrees and graduate study, Car-
lotta Alexander's record is an interesting one.
She had two years at Chicago University ; Smith
College summer school of Psychiatric Social
Service ; Johns Hopkins ; one year under Dr. V.
V. Anderson, of the National Mental Hygiene
Association in his survey of Georgia ; and one
year at Columbia, where she took her B.S. de-

what does Chartie mean by that? It is through

1915 The class of 1915 doesn't mean to appro-
priate the whole rest of the Quarterly, but the
secretary has been urging us ever since we were
graduated to send in news about ourselves, and
we have simply "up and done it !" These write-
ups were prepared for our tenth year reunion.

BETWEEN THE LINES AT '15'S REUNION

Ten long years had passed over our heads
shearing the locks from some of us. adjusting
pince-nez to the noses of others, and adding a
few pounds and "that matronly air" to still
others, yet when we met in the mob of alumnae
at the Trustees' luncheon on Saturday of com-
mencement, the class of 1915 recognized itself
without the slightest difficulty.

The luncheon was lovely, and when the re-
unioning classes were asked to rise, and '15 stood
blushing, happy, and self-conscious, Mary Kelly
spoke up nobly and said that we felt that it
would not be complete unless Miss McKinney
stood with us. Across the big dining-room we
saw dear Miss McKinney rise and beam on us.

After the luncheon and after the annual alum-
nae meeting, we drove in to the Atlanta Biltmore
to see the exhibit from the Grand Central Art
Galleries of New Y'ork. The Blackfriars Com-
mencement outdoor play that night brought old
memories of the time back in 1915 when we
spent that day anxiously watching the sky and
praving for it not to rain that night it always
did!

Sunday afternoon Mary Helen and Mary West
took the crowd to ride all around Atlanta and
then to Mary Helen's to supper. There were in
our midst three husbands Sally's. Mary West's,
and Mary Helen's. One of our chief sports was
looking at Mary Helen's kodak pictures taken
ten or fourteen years ago. We shouted with
laughter over the spectacles we must have been
in those days in our long, long skirts, high
shoes, tight waists and huge pompadours. We
all agreed that we were far younger and better
looking today a sentiment in which the three
husbands joined.

. Monday we went to a luncheon given by Mary-
West in the Alumnae House, and there we had.
in a sense, our real reunion. We read all the
letters that we had received from absent mem-
bers absent in body, present in spirit, as we
were constantly assured. It was there that we
talked most of our next reunion and how we

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

simply must make it a great success.

We had a protracted meeting, after Class Day
in the Alumnae House, and while we were all
sitting around together, Grace Harris's wedding
announcement reached us, and Eunice Kell,
Frances's little sister who was graduating in the
class of 1925, brought her father and mother over
to see the House, and incidentally to join our re-
union for a few minutes.

Supper together in the tea room, then a grand
hegira into town to a movie with Gra-ce Reid.

And so happened and ended the reunion.

Each year the reunion class with the highest
percentage of attendance is awarded a loving
cup by the Alumnae Association. This year the
class of 1910 won. If they can come back after
fifteen years and get the laurels, why can't we ?
Let's make our next reunion in 1930 the best
yet! C. P.

fellow and laboratory assistant. The following
year, through the assistance of Dr. Guy and Miss
Cady, I was given the graduate fellowship in
Chemistry at Bryn Mawr. We shall draw a cur-
tain quickly over the next year when I taught
Chemistry in the high school here at home ; I'll
scrub floors before I'll teach again. I can't go
into all the joys of the summers, some in New
York, others on the sea coast from Massa-
chusetts to Georgia, always happy and varied.
My father's health failed and I gave up salaried
work and plunged into war work. I taught il-
literate soldiers at six each morning, had break-
fast at camp, and then to the Red Cross office
for Home Service interviews all day, and can-
teen calls at night. After my father's death,
mother and I packed up and went to New York
for a change of scene. I had a three months'
residence requirement to fulfill before getting
my M.A., but before I matriculated at Columbia,
I accepted a position with the Fleischmann
Yeast Company at Peekskill, New York, in the
research department of the laboratory. Five
years ago, I came home and was married in
Margaret's veil and from her home. She, of
course, was matron of honor. Dr. Anderson
performed the ceremony with Mr. Scott as a
groomsman, and Mary Ellen Harvey as one of
the bridesmaids. We built a little home the
first year we were married and I immediately
became a most ardent devotee of a garden. I
can experiment no longer with test tubes, and
retorts, but can try out all sorts of theories of
propagation and plant breeding. My other
hobby has been my girl scout work. Five years
ago, Mary Burnett, '20, and I started in with
a group of sixteen girls. Today there are nearly
four hundred in the city, but I still have my
original group. Besides the scouts, there is a
world of club, civic and church work to fill
every crevice of my time. Arch and I have
found time for some wonderful trips. We have
been to New England twice, eastern Canada, the
Pacific coast, and to the Canadian Rockies.
Everywhere I found Agnes Scott girls. Some-
how I can't think of Agnes Scott without "D. G."
and "Arm", or with the many broadening
changes. I love it just as I left it, when we
could slip down the back stairs and steal ice
cream, or pour out our troubles to Miss Mc-
Kinney in the White House.

MARION (BLACK) CANTELOU.

Secretary's note: A son, Lamar Black, was
born to Mr. and Mrs. Cantelou on Sept. 29th,
1925.

1018 Main Street, Evanston. 111.
The year after I left college was spent at home,
in Augusta, Ga. Then came the war. I was
asked to help in the public health work as an
inspector for the Red Cross Sanitary District,
and went forth to battle with dirt, and unsani-
tary conditions in the eating places which were
frequented by our soldiers. In October, 1917,
the honorable James Noble Shryock arrived on
the scene. I feel as though I owe Jimmie to
Agnes Scott influence, for it was through a let-
ter of introduction from Miss Markley that I
really met him, so you see how Agnes Scott has
shaped my destiny. Much to Jimmie's disgust,
he did not get overseas, but like many others,
fought the war in Georgia. Within a year we
were engaged. After the war ended, the gov-
ernment closed its work around the camps and
by spring after the war our sanitary work was
closed. The summer of 1919 was an exciting
one, for I made my first trip north and visited
Jimmie's mother at her summer home on Long
Island Sound. Jimmie had gone to Chicago the
first of 1919 to learn the newspaper business.
We were married on February 5, 1920, and at
present are living in Evanston, twenty minutes
by train from Chicago. Jimmie is business
manager of "The Chicago Daily News," a con-
servative evening paper, publishing six days a
week. Chicago is a nice stopping-off place, so
whoever journeys this way, remember that the
Shryocks welcome all friends.

MARTHA E. (BRENNER) SHRYOCK.

1638 Park Street, Jacksonville, Florida.
After commencement in 1915, I lived for a
year with an aunt in Connecticut. For the sake
of occupation I assisted in the summer kinder-
garten in the foreign quarter of New Haven.
From the fall, 1915, until June, 1919, I was head
of the Freshman history department in Ansonia
High School, Ansonia, Conn. Meanwhile, I
taught Sunday school, conducted a young girls'
club, sang in the church choir, conducted two
weekly Red Cross classes, was vice-president and
later secretary and treasurer of the choir guild
and an active worker of the altar guild of the
Church of the Good Shepherd, Shelton, Conn.
I took part also for two years in the Ansonia
Choral Club, which formed part of the chorus
of the Yale pageant. After my first year north,
my family moved to Connecticut for mother's
health. So along with everything else. I was
housekeeper for mother and dad until after
the war. How I enjoyed those busy years ! But
I must have used up all my surplus energy for
after my second attack of flu in the spring of
1919. I had to take an enforced rest until my
marriage. Except for doing church work and
occasional "subbing" and going as councillor in
the summer of 1920 to Camp Greystone, then in
Greenvlle, Tenn., I did very little. In January.
1921, I married Joseph H. Ross, graduate and
Phi Beta Kappa of the University of Georgia
and also graduate of Harvard Law School. Since
our marriage I have spent my time getting ad-
justed to new communities. While we were in
Atlanta in 1921 and 1922. I was active in the
Atlanta Agnes Scott Club, serving as its treas-
urer one year. While we were in Savannah.
1923, until April, 1924, I helped in the Christ's
Church Colonial lunch room once a week, sub-
stituted in the church kindergarten on Sundays
and was assistant at the regular mid-week ses-
sion. In the year that we have been in Jack-
sonville I have done nothing except acquire a
son, Robert Briesenick Ross, and struggle back
to health again. By next fall, I hope to be able
to become interested in things beyond the family
circle in church work and in that of the Agnes
Scott Club which has recently been formed here
in Jacksonville. My husband is a lawyer engaged
in the active practice of law.

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

306 Avery Street, Decatur, Ga.

The year after my graduation was spent
within the beloved halls of Agnes Scott as a
fellow in Latin and History. I studied some also
in the department of Education. The following
year I went to Montgomery to teach in the La-
nier High School, where for three and oue-half
years I strove diligently to instill into the
minds of young hopefuls an appreciation for
the Latin Miss Smith had taught me so faith-
fully. After teaching a while, I decided it was
time to fulfill Mary Helen's prophecy for me,
namely, that "true to Agnes Scott. I should bear
the Scott name." So Milton and I were mar-
ried in March, 1920, nearly a year after his re-
turn from France. In this it is not enough to
say "and they lived happily ever after," for
that would leave out two of our greatest joys
Annie Bryan Scott and Betty Pope Scott. With
the exception of trips to Florida in the winter
and to the mountains in the summer, most of
my time since marriage has been spent in our
little home in Decatur. At present, I am chair-
man of the Alumnae House and Tea Room
committee, which work keeps me in rather close
touch with people at the college. In church
organizations, my interest has been chiefly in
the Sunday school, and the Woman's Auxiliary
in the Presbyterian Church. (Yes, I was a
Methodist before I married). We have a Fine
Arts Club in Decatur now, of which I have been
active as treasurer for the past six months.

Studying and teaching is the briefest possible
record of those ten years, 1915-1925. I taught
in Mobile during 1916-17 at the Baker Graded
School, a prep school for girls. During the sum-
mer of 1916 I studied at Moody Institute in Chi-
cago and during the summer of 1917 taught
freshman Bible class at the Y. W. C. A.
student conference at Blue Ridge. N. C.
Then came the war, and work in the Mo-
bile Y. W. C. A. as general secretary for a
time, and later Y. W. C. A. work throughout
the state of Alabama. Then I taught four years
in the University Military School for Boys. Dur-
ing all this time I have had a Sunday school
class which now numbers forty senior girls. For
the past few years I have been director of Young
Peoples activities in the Government Street Pres-
byterian Church, Mobile. For my own delecta-
tion. I have acquired a grand piano, studied the
pipe organ, and belong to the Shakespeare club
and the Music Study club. I recently resigned
my position at the church because I am planning
to marry Will Durant on June 10th. Here be-
gins the second chapter, which I shall take
pleasure in narrating when we meet again in
1930. GRACE ESTHER HARRIS.

Winter Garden, Florida.

My history seems to be Vick history from the
start, and when you add two little Vicks you
can almost picture the other years. When Ned
was only eight months old the fire swept away
everything we owned including ourselves. In-
stead of coming back to reunion that year, 1920,
as I had planned to do, I stayed in bed for
months. Now that the boys are older (John is

almost eight and Ned six) I've about gotten over
my nerves and have decided life is very much
worth living. If the Florida boom only pans
out. everything will be fine, and I'll be at every
reunion. MARY (HYER) VICK.

Since that day in May, 1915, when I wept out
loud in chapel as we sang "God Be With You,"
my path has been in pleasant places and I have
been almost as carefree as during college days.
The summer of 1915 was spent as so many pre-
vious ones, in a round of visits, house-parties,
etc. I was an attendant in Maud Lott's wedding
that June and later visited Martha Brenner. I
was on the go constantly that winter, supposedly
being at home with nothing to do. I taught
sixth grade in Monticello the term of 1916-17.
and English and French in Forsyth the term of
1917-18. The nearness to Barnesville and Em-
mett proved fatal to me, and we were mar-
ried that fall. That summer I had a lovely
visit with relatives in Kentucky and later a trip
to Cincinnati, Detroit, Toronto. Niagara, Mon-
treal, Ottawa, Quebec, Lakes Champlain and
George, New York, and Washington. There was
one shadow to mar the happiness of my wed-
ding. Just ten days before, my sister died, after
only a week's illness of influenza. Our plans
were changed, and we had a quiet home wed-
ding instead of a church affair, and went to
Florida by motor for our honeymoon. We began
housekeeping in the fall of 1919 in our own
home after boarding a year with Mary Ander-
son's parents. Emmett and Mr. Anderson were
at that time in the drug business together. The
summer of 1920 I had a wonderful trip west,
going the Canadian route and returning from
California by Yellowstone and Colorado. I
stopped by Arkansas for a visit with Mable Meek
Derby, who was a bride at that time. I have
always had the "going fever" and matrimony
has not seemed to stop me. The summer of
1923 Martha Kelly and I were in a party of six
and toured Europe for three months. We went
the regular beaten path of the tourist, visiting
England, France, Italy, Switzerland, Germany.
Holland and Belgium. I have never failed to
be at every reunion our class has had, first,
third, fifth and tenth. Now as to what I do
everyday besides keeping house : I teach the
students' class at Sunday school, am publicity
agent of the Missionary Society, parliamentarian
of the Woman's Club and vice-president of the
Arts Club. MARY (KELLY) COLEMAN.

No doubt all I have to tell of the last ten
years will seem very tame compared with the
thrills and joys of married life, yet I've had some
rather interesting times too. This year at Co-
lumbia University has been quite refreshing after
the humdrum life of teaching. I've done many-
nice things and have met quite a few interesting
people. This week-end after examinations are
over I expect to go with a friend to Boston for
a few days. SALLIE MAY KING.

McDonough. Georgia.

After finishing Agnes Scott I obtained a posi-
tion to teach English and history in the high
school in McDonough. I met Hugh Turner on
the fifth of September, and we were married
the sixth of September, 1916. We built a bunga-
low immediately and began housekeeping in Jan-
uary. Hugh, Jr., put in his appearance on May
29, 1917. and Augusta Morrill on March 5. 1921.
As soon as I came here I was made a teacher in
the Sunday school and an officer in various or-
ganizations. I am now a trustee of the local
school, elected by the people to serve until
March. 192G. I am also a trustee of the Sixth
District A. and M. School, appointed by the
Governor for a six-year term, expiring in 1928
(the term, not me). I give most of my time
and attention to my children. My little boy com-

Most of my life since leaving Agnes Scott has
been spent teaching and I truly love the work
and the boys and girls I worked with. The first
two years I was in Strasburg. Va., teaching
Latin. From 1917 to 1922 my work was either
Latin or science, in Florida. The last year of
teaching Latin was spent in Harrisonburg, Vir-
ginia. On February 22, 1923, I was married to
Mr. L. G. Bulgin, of Salem, Oregon. On Jan-
uary 19 of the next year my baby, Lawrence
Gould, Jr., was born and died two days later.
Since the first of this year I have been in a
sanatorium for tuberculosis. I am much im-
proved and well enough to take some interest
in sanatorium life. It is not as dreadful as
might be expected, although home is vastly pre-
ferable. MILDRED (McGUIRE) BULGIN.

I have spent the ten years since 1915 at Girls
High school, right here in Atlanta, teaching
English. Besides the teaching, I have been to
New York, to Chicago and to camp in Wisconsin.
I have had two permanents. I own a Ford. I am
still single and am likely to stay in that condi-
tion. I enjoy good health and have picked up
about tw T elve or fifteen pounds in the last few
years. CATHERINE PARKER.

For the past ten years teaching Latin has been
the task that has filled my waking hours and
for the most part my sleeping hours as well.
I have spent the time near home, though have
taught in different portions of the state. One
year I decided I did not care to teach Latin any
longer, so stopped and took a business course,
but soon came back to my first love. The past four
years I have spent in Decatur, three of them as
teacher in Decatur High School. This year I
am at home devoting my entire time to coaching
work and private teaching.

After that most wonderful commencement, I
went dutifully home to show the old home town
what a college woman could do for the com-
munity. I participated in all things social and
civic with this end in view. It chanced to fall
my let to substitute in a prep school for two
weeks. Here began and ended my teaching ca-
reer. I saw that as a teacher I'd be a better
anything else. In due course of time, meaning
the following year, I was married to one Ben
Head and I have been married to him ever since.
I lead a most delightfully proper kind of life
with the usual club, church and bridge-playing
activities combined. Some of the girls were as-
tonished to hear that I have joined the Presby-
terian church, but you know an Episcopal "pil-
lar" fits in anywhere. Fate and fortune have
dealt kindly wth me, except last summer in the
long illness and death of my father. I have
been very much enthused over planning and
building our new house and now when I have
everything fixed just as I want it, Ben is being
overtaken by that prevailing malady, the Florida
fever. More than likely we'll soon join the rest
of Atlanta in Miami. But speaking of the
house, it was doubly interesting fixing it as I
have been taking several courses in interior
decorating. As to my family, my "little boy,"

son, had a birthday last week. I had a party
for him and he invited all his little friends ; he
had thirty-one candles on his cake !

1801 Beach Drive, South, St. Petersburg, Fla.

Since I have accomplished nothing matri-
monially, I suppose I am expected to have ac-
complished something educationally. Educational-
ly then, I spent a year at Columbia, 1917-18, and
received my M. A. in Biology. I taught one year
before going and then four years at Tubman High,
in Augusta, Ga. After that I studied one summer
at Columbia, traveled in Europe the summer of
1922, and came home to spend the winter with
my mother and father. I have been teaching
here now for two years and have decided that
St. Petersburg is a fine place to stay, especially
when it is home. Last summer I traveled out
west and spent six weeks at the University of
California. Yes, I love to teach and I am quite
fond of traveling. I also went to Cuba one win-
ter. I enjoy my work in the college club, a
branch of the A. A. U. W. I was interested in
organizing the branch in Augusta and was a
president almost two years there. I was presi-
dent of the St. Petersburg club its first year and
have recently been re-elected for the coming
year. It was also my good fortune to attend
the meetings of the International Federation of
University Women, being held in Paris the sum-
mer I was there.

FRANCES LOUISE WEST.
160 Lullwater Road, Atlanta, Georgia.

The winter of 1915-16 I was back at Agnes
Scott as a fellow in the chemistry department.
Most of the next summer was spent in the
Adirondacks. and the following winter in South
Georgia and Florida, visiting. In February,
1917 we came to Atlanta to live. During that
year I made several trips, but the most memor-
able one was to Chattanooga in August to visit
Frances Thatcher, whom most of you probably
remember at Agnes Scott. While there I met
her cousin, Samuel Eugene Thatcher, and in
April, 1918 we were married. In July, 1918,
Gene enlisted in the Marine Corps, and was sent
to Paris Island, S. C, for training. After a few
weeks I went to Buford, S. C. to be near him.
Each day I made the eleven-mile trip back and
forth, partly by automobile, partly by boat, and
partly on foot, leaving at 9 a. m. and return-
ing at 11 p. m. Some days I was lucky and
saw Gene for an hour or two, and some nights
I returned to the hotel without having had even
a glimpse of him after an all-day wait. In
October he was transferred to Quantico. Vir-
ginia, and I followed him there. While there.
Gene had influenza and was desperately ill. For-
tunately circumstances worked so that I was
able to nurse him in the tiny piano-box of a
room, the only place I could find to live. For
days and nights I did not take off my clothes.
There was no time to rest, for he was uncon-
scious, and besides watching him. I had to pre-
pare all his nourishment on a small oil stove,
and do all his washing, the water for which had
to be brought in buckets from a well nearly a
block away. Five days after he was up for the
first time, his regiment was ordered to France,
and he left with them, when he was so weak
that he could hardly walk with his pack. Per-
haps there are some of you who went through
the experience of having your husbands go to
war. If you have, you know what real suffer-
ing is. After Gene's departure I returned to At-
lanta to be with my mother, and while the in-
fluenza epidemic was at its worst, to do volun-
teer nursing with the Red Cross here. Gene was
in France from October, 1918, until June, 1919.
After his discharge from the Marine Corps in
July, we took a second honeymoon trip to North
Carolina and then went to Cincinnati to live.
The three years in Cincinnati were very happy
ones, but I grew very homesick for Atlanta, so

Gene gave up his business there and we moved
to Atlanta in March, 1922. We lived with my
mother until our own home was completed in
October. We have had an awfully good time
since we have lived here ; have enjoyed our
home and friends, and have traveled some, spend-
ing parts of two winters in Florida. I have tried
too, to help dear old Agnes Scott a little, work-
ing in the Atlanta Club and in the general
alumnae association in connection with the House
and Tea Room committee, and with the Enter-
tainment committee. In June, 1925, our happi-
ness and our home were made complete by the
arrival of Samuel Eugene Thatcher, Jr., the
most wonderful baby ever. Dear girls of 1915,
whenever you come back to visit the college,
there is always a welcome awaiting you, not
only at the Alumnae House, but in our home.
Even though I've grown so fat you may not
recognize me when you arrive, I am, as ever,

After reading the account of the good time the
1915 class had at their tenth year reunion, the
class of '16 can hardly wait to get back and
swap yarns about the many things they have
been doing since May, 1916. As many of *16 as
can possibly manage it are planning to come back
to the college for commencement, but the class
secretary is now from Missouri, and you know
what that means ! Get in touch with her right
away and begin the process of showing her that
you are not only going to be here, but to be here
umpt-teen strong, armed with the determination
to win that attendance cup !

Died Elizabeth (Denmanl Hammond, April 17,
1926.

Although we knew that Elizabeth had been very
ill for some months, the sad news of her death
comes as a shock to many of us. She was taken
ill last August while visiting her grandparents
in Nicholasville, Kentucky, and through the
months that followed, failed to show satisfactory
response to medical treatment. Her death oc-
curred early Saturday morning, April 17, at
the Davis-Fischer sanitarium in Atlanta, follow-
ing the operation which was resorted to in a final
effort to save her life.

While at Agnes Scott. Elizabeth made a splen-
did scholastic record, being graduated with honors
in the class of '18, and was one of the most
popular and beloved members of the student body.
Besides being a member of Gamma Tau Alpha,
she took an active part in the community life
of the College, belonging to both Blackfriars and
B. O. Z. She was also a member of the Bulldog
social club.

After her graduation and marriage. Elizabeth
continued to be a valued member of her com-
munity. She took an active interest in church
work, being superintendent of the beginners' de-
partment and superintendent of the Cradle Roll
of the North Avenue Presbyterian church in
Atlanta at the time of .her death. To all with
whom she came in contact she imparted mu*ch
of the inspiration of her life and was beloved
by a wide circle of friends who will hear of her
death with deepest sorrow.

In addition to her husband. P. W. Hammond,
she is survived by her Mother, Mrs. George B.
Denman, and three children. Elizabeth Penn,
Thomas Taylor, and George Denman Hammond.
