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 



3 / 4- 2 f 



2 The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly 

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.

4 The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly 

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! 

(This poem was first printed in "The Aurora", May, 1924. To be printed in 
'Poets of the Future, a College Anthology," compiled by Henry T. Schnittkind. )

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 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.

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.)

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 



The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

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.

FROM THE ALUMNAE OFFICE 



FALL OPENING OF THE ANNA 
YOUNG ALUMNAE HOUSE 

On Wednesday afternoon, November 25, 
the Alumnae Association will be "At 
Home" from three o'clock to five o'clock 
at the Alumnae House. November 2 5 will 
be Miss Anna Young's birthday, and we 
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. 



ON THE CAMPUS 



HONOR ROLL FOR 1924-25 

For the past two years it has been 
the custom at Agnes Scott to recognize those 
students who have shown the highest de- 
gree of scholarship not only among the 
members of the senior class (which has been 
done by election to Gamma Tau Alpha) but 
in the Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior 
classes as well. At the opening of the ses- 
sion in September. Dr. McCain announced 
the following names as comprising the honor 
roll for the terms 1924-25: 
Freshman Class: 

Leila Anderson. Macon, Ga. 

Myrtle Bledsoe, Atlanta, Ga.

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-

IS 



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 FACULTY MEMBERS 

Helen Eagleson  Instructor in Psycho- 
logy  M. A. University of Washington: 
Ph. D. Johns Hopkins University. 

Annie Mae Christie  Assistant Professor 
of English  M. A. Columbia University. 

Annie Ruth Lineberry  Acting Instructor

writing  Agnes Scott Institute; advanced 
work in drama in New York. Miss Steph- 
ens is well known as the vice-president of 
the National Music Association, and as the 
author of "Rose Anne." which won fame on 
Broadway. 

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 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- 
ris, Mrs. L. L. Noble. Eva Wassum, Eleanor 
Carpenter. Mrs. D. F. Dickson, Mrs. John 
Van de Erve and Beth McClure. 

Respectfully submitted, 

Julia (Hagood) Cuthbertson, 

Chairman.

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.

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,

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,

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.

Alice Cooper has gone to New York for the 
winter. She is living with Elizabeth Wilson at 
431 Riverside Drive, Apt. 1. We have come to 
the conclusion that this apartment is made of 
India rubber, since it never seems to reach 
capacity, but is always hospitably open to any 
A. S. C. girls in New York. 

Anne Houston has moved permanently to 
Lewisburg. Tenn. 

Our sympathy is extended to Eugenia Peed,

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.' "

lins tells of her beginning housekeeping. When 
she was first married, her mother was not well. 
so she stayed at home, but now she is to have

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.

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.

The Senior class are busy with plans for 
their part in Founders' Day dinner. George

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 

Professor W. Walter Rankin. Jr.. who 
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.

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.

Annie Shapard writes a most interesting ac- 
count of her life at Glenrock, near Kellyton, 
Ala., "Jeannette and I are farming on our 
Grandfather's old place here in Coosa county. I 
have been teaching in the county High School 
for the last two years, driving seven miles to 
school every morning. Our nearest white neigh- 
bors are three miles away, and the railroad is 
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." 

Mattie (Tilleyl McKee has gone in for farm- 
ing, too. She writes "We are living a very quiet 
but very busy life on a little farm about six 
miles from Forsyth, Ga. Right now we are run- 
ning a dairy, too, shipping sweet milk to At- 
lanta every day. We have four children, two 
boys, and two girls, whose ages range from nine 
to two years. The girls are headed for Agnes 
Scott."

band and three nice children could be called 
that." The nice husband is Mr. Robert B. Ingle,

John T.I Scottdale, Ga. 

Ruth (Slackl Smith. '12. writes: "New York 
is ever a mecca for Agnes Scott girls, not for 
the summer session only, but the whole year 
round. 

Louise Slack, (My sister) and 1 spent the 
Christmas holidays there, taking a course in 
Theatrical evaluation, and during our stay 
chanced upon a number of Agnes Scott friends 
pursuing somewhat the same course. 

"Margaret McCallie, '09. had come up from 
Chattanooga, and we frequently met in restau- 
rants or theaters. One night as we were seat- 
ed in one of Alice Foote McDougal's charming 
coffee shops, Louise Payne, ex '10, of Lynch- 
burg, came in with three young girls whom she 
was chaperoning, and sat down at the table 
next us. 

"On Sunday morning we went to hear Dr. 
Henry Sloane Coffin at the Madison Avenue 
Presbyterian Church, and during the first hymn 
heard a voice reminiscent of the little Decatur 
Episcopal Church, and turned to f.nd Miss Cady 
and her sister just behind us  the same Miss 
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.

Martha Lin said that she intended to have the 
rest of her political life blameless, but that just 
this first time, when her own brother-in-law

wise. 

1921 -Secretary, Frances Charlotte Markley, Miss 
Fine's School. Princeton, New Jersey. 

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 !

portant facts of life in announcing that she is 
"still alive and very happy."

nineteen months old baby are keeping house in 
a new white bungalow, built last summer. Her

friends. Her home is named Hickory Hill Hut. 

Anna Marie (Landressl Cate writes that they 
have made reservations on the Dollar Liner 
President Cleveland, due in San Francisco on 
May 5. Letters sent to her there would reach 
her upon arrival. She expects to get to Agnes 
Scott for the reunion. She says "there is no 
special news from my little family, but we are 
all busy and happy. Dr. Cate thoroughly en- 
joys his medical work and teaching in the medi- 
cal college, as well as recreation in the form 
of tennis, baseball and recently taking part in 
a minstral show. Next week he leaves for Tokyo 
to attend the sixth congress of the Far Eastern 
Association of Tropical Medicine. I have my 
hands full with three year old Billy and his 
little sister to look after, not to mention other 
duties  housekeeping, entertaining missionaries 
visiting Seoul in an almost constant stream tc 
attend committees. We have a lovely group of 
young missionaries here in Seoul. I do prac- 
tically no formal missionary wcrk, but do en- 
joy my contact with the Koreans and Japanese.

Japanese Y. M. C. A. here, comes to me for 
help in planning clothes for her two little boys.

lish and learn to dress herself and her children 
in American style clothes, because her husband 
is leaving soon for several months stay in

ture." We sympathize with Janef on the death 
of her brother on Christmas Eve. 

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.

It is a source of much grief to the secretary 
that the answers to the last communication were 
so few. That is the reason for the small col- 
umn of news. But it was fun to have those 
Christmas cards. 

1922  Secretary, Julia Jameson, 1046 West End

one short year she has accumulated a new hus- 
band, a new home, and a new baby. She says 
that Virgil, Jr., is just like the Agnes Scott 
spirit  too wonderful to be described by a poor 
wobbling human pen. He goes to sleep every 
night to the accompaniment of Agnes Scott 
songs, thus proving that he has a keen appre- 
ciation of melody. We only hope for his sake 
that his mother doesn't sing his lullabys with 
the same vim and pep that she used to dis- 
play as song leader during her college days.

It is hard to realize that we are on the verge 
of our second reunion, that we have been away 
from Agnes Scott nearly three years, and that 
the freshmen of 1923 are now seniors. We want

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 
of a period that has 'gone with the last front-

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

I get paid accordingly. I wish I could find a 
job with more pay and less glory. The other 
day I substituted in the French and Spanish 
classes at the high school. It made me swear 
off all over again. I'd rather be a pauper than 
a school teacher." The week before Christmas

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 
Charlotte and give them during Spring holi- 
days. The Charlotte branch of the A. A. 
U. W. and the local Agnes Scott club were 
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 
alumnae are very proud of the success 
achieved by the Blackfriars, Miss Nan Ste- 
phens, teacher of the class, who is a mem- 
ber of the class of '  , and the three au- 
thors. Margaret Bland. '20; Polly Stone, 
'24: and Grace Augusta Ogden. '26. 



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.

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly 



15 



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- 
gree.

1911  Secretary, Theodosia (Willingham) Ander- 
son (Mrs. W.), 63 Avery Drive. Atlanta. 

Lucile Alexander and Mary Wallace Kirk were 
honored in March by election to membership in 
the Phi Beta Kappa chapter at Agnes Scott. 
Only six of the alumnae were taken in, and 
1911 feels very proud to have contributed two 
of the six alumnae members. 

Adelaide Cunningham and Theodosia (Willing- 
ham) Anderson are busily making plans for the 
biggest and best reunion yet ! May 22nd to 
May 25th are the dates. The fifteen year re- 
union class won the cup for attendance last

At the tea given to the Senior class recently 
by the Alumnae Association, one of the seniors 
said to Marie (Maclntyre) Scott: "Mrs. Scott. 
it sounds just too grand for anything to be 
Mrs. Scott, of Scottdale." "Yes," Marie replied, 
"and I'm the richest and the best looking woman 
in town, too." The senior was simply staggered 
for a minute by the conceit of the woman. 
"And the poorest and the ugliest, too," Marie 
went on. "In fact, I'm the only woman there."

The Committee of the Alumnae Association on 
Beautifying Grounds and Buildings, of which

has the opportunity of meeting many Agnes 
Scott friends. She was recently in Florida ami 
speaks knowingly of Miami real estate and 
such. She also took a jaunt over to Cuba. She 
emphasizes this as a pleasure trip. Now just 
what does Chartie mean by that? It is through 
Charlotte that we learn news of Margaret 
(Brown I Bachman. ex '14. She is living in 
Tampa, where her husband is a Boy Scout Execu- 



tive. They have two little daughters and an 
orange grove! The girls are named Margaret

Essie (Roberts) Dupre's new address (1062

Miami people have. But Essie has more than 
a yard-long address : inside apartment number 
seven is little Miss Anne Dupre, born January

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. 

THE CLASS OF *15 SPEAKS FOR ITSELF 
602 .N. Patterson St., Valdosta, Georgia. 

"A preacher husband and two small boys" 
might be considered a summary of my life for 
the last several years. Those of you who know 
much about preachers and boys, can fill in the 
rest. MARGARET (ANDERSON) SCOTT. 

Le Brou Avenue and Thorn Place, 

Montgomery, Alabama. 

The summer after graduation was spent at 
Columbia, then back to dear old Agnes Scott as 
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.

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 !

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, 
the same old

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.

Callaway's pardon for the oversight  honestly, we 
didn't know a thing about him, or we would 
have put it in sooner. He is now seven months 
old and weighs twenty-five pounds. (To the 
alumnae who are mothers, that statement will 
probably bring forth many "oh's" and "did you 
ever's" ; to the school teachers and Y. W. C. A. 
secretaries a baby who weighs twenty-five pounds 
means  simply a baby who weighs twenty-five 
pounds!) Elizabeth's son is named Edgar Allan
