A LETTER FROM THE NEW PRESIDENT OF
THE ALUMNAE ASSOCIATION

Dear "Agnes Scatters :'''

How I would love at this time to write each of you individually! As that is
impossible, I wish to take this opportunity of communicating with you very infor'
mally through our first Quarterly of the year 1926-27; to greet you; to beg your
helpful advice and sincere sympathetic criticism (for criticism often brings better
results than praise) ; to tell you of some of the things we shall strive to do; to enlist
your support and co-operation in carrying out these plans, and in making the Asso-
ciation fulfill its purpose "to promote the welfare of the College and its Alumnae
by increasing the interest of its members in the College and in each other."

Since the correct addresses of Alumnae form the foundation of all work in the
Association, our first endeavor will be to get out a new register of Agnes Scott
Alumnae. We must be able to reach you if we are to keep you interested, and
informed of the work going on. To this end, our secretary, Polly Stone, is concen-
trating her eiforts in locating all of you alumnae, in correcting and verifying your
addresses, in learning the married names of many, and in obtaining much other
valuable information. The sending in of this information promptly is one way in
which everyone, whether an active member of the Association or not, can greatly
assist all the work of the Association.

This information lays the foundation for the work and achievements of many
of our committees. We hope this year, under the leadership of Mary Knight, '22,
chairman of Local Clubs Committee, to organi2;e several new clubs. We now have
nine splendidly functioning clubs, and they are such a joy to the Association and to
their members that we feel it worth every efFort to form new ones, giving Alumnae
an opportunity to meet together, to hear news of Agnes Scott, and to work col-
lectively for our Association and Alma Mater.

Through the work of the Curriculum Committee, lead by Laura Stockton Mol-
loy, '20, we hope to make the "College after College" courses a great pleasure and
benefit to many of you, and to learn what new courses you would be interested in
having added to this department. Any suggestions will be gratefully received.

The work of the Preparatory Schools Committee, directed by Hilda McConnell,
'23, is one in which all of you may assist, whether members of the Committee or
not. There was an article in the Quarterly last spring explaining the new policy
of the College in the selection of its students. Applicants are no longer taken in
the order of their application, but, after thoroughly investigating each girl's record
at preparatory school, her character, her home life, her ideals, etc., those best fitted
for the work and life at Agnes Scott are chosen. Necessarily, much of this infor-
mation must come from "those of us who have gone on before." Dr. McCain is
especially anxious that we write him all about girls we know who are contemplating
entering Agnes Scott. Fifteen and even ten years ago, the problem with us was in
getting enough students; now we are so overrun with applications for entrance, that
our problem is selection of the best. You will be interested to know that through
a questionnaire, sent out to all new students coming to Agnes Scott this year, Dr.

4 The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

McCain learned that seventyfive per cent of all these students chose Agnes Scott
because of the influence of some alumna. So the importance of such work can be
easily understood when we see the extent of our influence, often unconscious and
unrealised. Another phase of the work of this committee in which you of small
towns especially may greatly assist, is that of getting the High Schools and Prepara-
tory Schools to raise their curriculum to meet College requirements. As the
College curriculum is raised, it becomes increasingly difficult for girls from small
towns to enter Agnes Scott, and many of the best girls come from these places.

Believing that added knowledge means increased interest, we are hoping to send
you a number of little booklets telling of the growth and achievements of Agnes
Scott College. We already love Agnes Scott and are proud of it, but we want to
know just why we are proud of it, and be able to tell others what makes it such a
wonderful college.

These are only a few of the plans which present themselves at this time. Many
others will be made from time to time, in all of which I shall count on your support
and co-operation. Nothing could be more appreciated than letters telling what you
think of the plans, making suggestions for carrying them out, and giving any new
ideas for promoting the welfare of the College and the Alumnae, for after all, the
Association is just what you make it.

Yours in the interest of Agnes Scott and its Alumnae,

Mary (West) Thatcher, '15
President of the Alumnae Association.

CLASS REUNIONS, MAY, 1927

All Classes Ending in '-2 and '-7, and 1924 and 1926 Hold Reunions.

The love of an alumna for her college and of classmate for classmate are very
precious things, and those of us who have lived within the walls of Agnes Scott
together and know these two great loves must cherish them and see that through
neglect and forgetfulness we do not lose two of the greatest things in life.

Renew your acquaintance with your College and your classmates by coming
back to your reunion in 1927. You have changed some since you left Agnes Scott
on your commencement day. Varied experiences have changed each member of
your class, and the College has done anything Hut stand just as you left it that day.
There are new courses of study, higher standards of scholarship, new buildings,
more land added to the campus, new walks and drives. You must see these things
and get used to them so that your College will not be a stranger to you.

Five years ago the problem of coming back for reunion was indeed a problem,
for it was very inconvenient to find some place to stay. But the Anna Young
Alumnae House has solved this question. Plan to come hack in May, and send in
your reservation for a place in the Alumnae House during commencement.

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly 5

AN OPEN FORUM

Is it true that women can never be silenced? That they will talk and talk and
talk until breath is gone, and still talk on? There must be a number of things
that the different alumnae would like to discuss together, various problems con-
nected with homes, school-rooms, children, education, etc. The Alumnae Quarterly
proposes to turn over to the members of the Association as many pages in each issue
as they will ask for, to discuss the questions that arise in the lives of the different
members which they would like to bring to an open forum for solution. Address
all communications to the Alumnae Secretary at the College. This is a department
which should fill a great need among alumnae, and it is to be hoped that there will
be no hesitancy about writing for it. Names will be withheld, unless you wish
them pubhshed. You are earnestly asked to "cuss and discuss." To start the year,
here is an extract from a letter from an alumna in North Carolina:

"I do wish Agnes Scott would give us a good practical course designed to help
solve the many problems which arise in homemaking and motherhood. I have con-
cluded that colleges and universities should require such a course for graduation,
both from the men's colleges and the women's. So many people think they will
never take the 'fatal step,' but one never knows. And while home making, of
course, requires commonsense management and there can be no set rule which can
be applied by each individual, still I am sure that such a course would be a great
help to those of us who are struggling with the many problems which arise. And
especially now that life has become so complicated. Trig and geometry were Greek
to me in 'the good old days,' but those problems were simple as compared to those
which my four-year-old son presents now. I feel so incompetent to cope with
them, and it occurred to me that there must be numerous other members of the
alumnae who are in the same fix. What do other alumnae think of a course de-
signed to solve the problems of marriage, home-making, and motherhood, not a
scientific course, but a simple, practical one?"

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly
ON THE CAMPUS

HOME-COMING DAY

November 25th, the birthday of Miss Anna
Irwin Young, has been celebrated by Agnes
Scott for several years past as annual home-
coming day, but since this year it falls on
Thanksgiving, Saturday November 27th will
be observed instead for coming back to Agnes
Scott. From four to six o'clock in the after-
noon the Agnes Scott Alumnae who are in
or near Atlanta for Thanksgiving week-end
are invited to call at the Anna Young Alum-
nae House for tea. The House and Tea Room
committee, of which Margaret Phythian, '16, is
chairman, and the Entertainment Committee,
of which Aimee D. (Glover) Little, '21, is
chairman, will be joint hostesses for the occa-
sion, and a number of old Agnes Scott girls
are expected to call during the afternoon.

This "birthday" of the House has been
observed ever since its erection five years ago.
Any Alumnae who plan to make some gift
to the House during the year are invited to
do it at this time. Following is a list of
articles needed at present.

Ash tray for guest room.

Bath mats.

Blankets.

Dotted Swiss for bedroom curtains.

Flower bowls for bedrooms.

Napkins.

Pillow cases (22 by 3 2).

Rag rugs.

Sheets.

Soup spoons for Tea Room.

Spreads.

Table cloths.

Tea cloths.

Towels.

Tumblers.

Washrags.

CHANGES ON THE CAMPUS

The most striking change on the campus
this year that meets the visitor even before
he leaves College Avenue is the semi-circular
concrete drive. It cuts into the campus in
front of Rebakah Scott Hail at a sloping
angle, curves up to the front of Main and
back again between Inman and the May-
Day Oak, and back to College avenue

again at White House. It is a decidedly
progressive step, and has improved the appear-
ance of the College from the street immensely.
The old gate which was so difiicult to drive
in, is still standing, but the old driveway has
been ploughed up and sodded, and a graceful
little cement walk winds down from the front
of Main to the old gateway. The new drive-
way has relieved the congestion of day student
cars, and gives the front campus a splendid
appearance from the street. Not a single
one of the stately old oaks that are the beauty
of the campus had to be sacrificed for the
new drive. The long straight brick walk from
Main to the little gate on College Avenue
has gone; a lovely sweep of green lawn now
covers the whole of the campus.

During October the College purchased the
Worsham property on the corner of Candler
street and College avenue, right back of the
house where Dr. Armistead used to live. Stur-
giss Cottage was acquired during the summer.

After the great mosquito battle of Septem-
ber, 1925, it was found necessary to screen
every building on the campus.

The two little practice rooms on the right
and left of Inman entrance are transformed
into bedrooms this fall as the dormitories were
so crowded with students. The girls in Inman
are charmed to have four more members of
the "Inman Hall family," and to be able to
study in peace without the voice and violin
students practicing within earshot.

Mrs. Gaines has moved to 121 S. Candler
St., and is always glad for returning alumnae
to drop by to see her, or to receive notes or
cards from them.

The little summerhouse, for so long an eye-
sore in front of Main, was moved this summer
to make way for the new drive. It has been
enclosed with glass and moved over behind
Rcbckah Scott Hall. For years the Y. W.
C. A. al fresco teas were given here, but this
fall for the first time, the tea was given on
the lawn in front of Gaines Cottage.

The students were overjoyed on their return
to the College in September to see that the
new athletic field which last year was a vast
expanse of unmanageable red mud, has been
thickly sodded and is in splendid condition.
Hockey has been especially popular this fall.

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

since on account of the condition of the field,
there could be no hockey last year.

The museum on the third floor of Science
Hall has had some splendid additions to its
shelves during the summer. Alumnae who
are visiting the College will be well repaid by
a trip up to the rapidly growing collection.

FRESHMAN WEEK

Speaking of reforms (and if nobody was,
we'll start the subject ourselves), Freshman
Week at Agnes Scott "ain't what it usta be!"
And everybody is glad it isn't! The class of
1929, this years sophomores, in formulat-
ing the rules for the freshmen during rat-
week, have instituted a reform for which the
college community rise up and call them
blessed. No longer do freshmen walk the
campus for an entire week with reddened
noses, clad in unmatched hose and tennis
shoes, wearing their dresses hind part before,
and with bells tied to stubby pigtails, a
humilitation to themselves and a disgrace to
the classrooms and the campus. Freshmen
were distinguished this fall by close-fitting
flannel caps of a bright green. They were
compelled to wear them everywhere, even to
meals, for two weeks. The caps were very
jaunty and becoming; some of the decrepit
upperclassmen sighed for their lost youth and
almost wished themselves freshmen again so
that they might get to wear them. Faculty,
students, alumnae and generations of Agnes
Scott students yet unborn are grateful to the
sophomores for this innovation. There's no
doubt about it the class of 1929 is a won-
der! The modest creatures admit it! They
won the cat this year, too!

AGNES SCOTT STUDENT BODY

Since Agnes Scott, then known as Decatur
Female Seminary, opened its doors on Sep-
tember 24, 1889, with an enrollment of 63
httle girls, (only three of whom were board-
ers), there has been a steady increase in the
number of students. Last year the student
body numbered 538; this year there are 566.
It is impossible to care for more girls with
the present equipment.

ALUMNAE HOUSE GIFTS

Every year the Anna Young Alumnae
House IS the recipient of many lovely gifts.
Among those received last year was a silver
water pitcher, sent by the Birmingham, Ala-
bama, Agnes Scott club. This is kept in the
private dining room and used whenever there
are special dinner guests. The private dining
room now has a complete set of table silver,
two pairs of silver candle-sticks, three silver
bonbon trays, a silver tea service, and the
lovely pitcher sent from Birmingham.

The Marietta Agnes Scott Club has added
to the supply of linen in the House. At
their meetings last year, they sewed on nap-
kins, bureau scarfs and table runners, and as
a result the Alumnae House linen closet re-
ceived a number of handmade articles. Be-
sides being useful and badly needed, the linen
sent by the Marietta club was beautifully hem-
stitched by hand, fringed, or worked with the
popular Italian stitch.

Allie Louise Travis, ex '22, sent a gift of
linen for the bedroom furnished by her class,
and in which she always stays on her visits
to the college.

During commencement of May, 1926, the
last signature was written on the last leaf of
the Alumnae House Guest Book. During the
five years since the house was built, many
notable people have written in that book, and
it will always be preserved as one of the treas-
ures of the house.

The new Guest Book is a beautiful one of
Florentine leather in Agnes Scott purple,
which one of the Alumnae brought back from
Italy this summer. It has the loose-leaf ar-
rangement, so that it may be used for many
years to come.

LIFE MEMBERSHIPS IN THE
ASSOCIATION

There are five new names to add to the list
of life members of the Alumnae Association.
They are:

Mabel McKowen, '05.

May McKowen (Mrs. B. B. Taylor), '06.

A NOTE FROM MISS HOPKINS

Staunton, Virginia.

June 24, 1926.
My dear girls:

The day after commencement when I re-
turned to College after a visit in Atlanta on
important business matters, I found the hand-
somest desk set I ever saw and the sweetest
note I ever read both for me. These kind
words and beautiful gift from alumnae did
me good through and through, and are among
my greatest treasures. I especially regret not
being at home when the gift was presented.
Please let me thank every one who had any
part in this kind thought of me.
Affectionately yours,

Nannette Hopkins.

MISS GAYLORD'S TRIP TO EUROPE

Miss Leslie J. Gaylord, of the department
of Mathematics at Agnes Scott, and Mrs. Lucy
Dodd Ramberg, of Florence, Italy, are ar-
ranging a European tour for the summer of
1927, which will be especially attractive to
college women, interested in gaining an inti-
mate knowledge and interpretation of Euro-
pean art and history. Mrs. Ramberg, her-
self a portrait painter and exhibitor at the
International Exhibitions, has made her
residence in Europe for twenty-five years,
where she has devoted herself to the study ol
art, history, and languages. Miss Gaylord,
who has just returned from a year of study
in Italy, has traveled extensively in Europe.

The party will sail the middle of June,
visit France, Italy, Switzerland, Belgium, and
England, and return about September first.

In Florence they will be guests for ten
days at the home of Mrs. Ramberg, an Italian
villa dating from the fourteenth century, fur-
nished in original pieces of that century, and
containing a rare collection of Renaissance
art. The villa is surrounded by spacious gar-
dens overlooking Florence.

Miss Gaylord would be glad to get in touch
with any of the alumnae who would he inter-
ested in joining the party. A letter addressed
to her at the College will reach her.

BLACKFRIARS PRESENT "ANNE OF
GREEN GABLES"

The Thanksgiving play at the College this
year will be "Anne of Green Gables." The
Blackfriars have been working on this for
some time, and are anxious for as many
alumnae as are in the neighborhood of the
College to be present at this first production
of the term 1926-27.

Died Pearl Vereen (Mrs. M. H. Stuart), ex
'12, on August 23, 1926, in Faith Hospital, St.
Petersburg, Fla.

The news of Pearl Vereen's death will come as
a shock to all the girls who knew her at Agnes
Scott. Death resulted from blood poisoning, which
developed several days after an abcessed tooth had
been extracted. Mr. and Mrs. Vereen, Pearl's
parents, hurried to her from Moultrie, Ga., when
they learned of her critical condition, but she
was too desperately ill when they arrived to know
them, and was unconscious until the end. Her
body was brought back to her old home, Moultrie,
for interment. Besides her husband. Dr. M. H.
Stuart, she leaves three children. Harden, Ellen
and Anne. It is hard for those who knew Pearl
during her student days when she was so vividly
alive, to realize that all that is mortal of her
sleeps under a blanket of roses and lilies of the
valley in the little Moultrie cemetery.

under six years fill every minute of the day."

bec, Boston, Philadelphia, New York and Wash-
ington. Ran up to Catherine Graeber again in
the East Room of the White House ! Came home

with trips to Europe, Asia and Africa, new
homes, new husband, new babies, and other items
of interest.

Marion Black (Mrs. A. L. Cantelou) : "My

All spare moments are spent pulling him out by
the heels from inconceivably small spaces."

Martha Brenner (Mrs. J. N. Shryock) : "We
went on our annual trip east, stopping in Phil-
adelphia for one night, and in New York for a

Head and brought her son, who is quite a young
gentleman. Gertrude expects to build or buy a
home this fall.

Annie Pope Bryan (Mrs. Milton Scott) : "From
choice, our family stayed at home all summer and
enjoyed the comforts of home life, so you see

mer vacation." Annie Pope's third daughter, Nel-
lie Louise, was born October 23, 1926.

Sallie Carrere (Mrs. J. S. Bussey. Jr.) : "We

was spent at Daytona Beach, within speaking dis-
tance of home. It proved quite delightful : the

tivities. The boys kept me busy most of the
time, and now that school has started I am back
in harness for the winter. Florida is still a
great place."

Mary Kelly (Mrs. E. L. Coleman) : "I was
away six weeks this summer. Visited in Hender-
sonville, N. C, stopped in Washington going and
coming home. Made a short trip to Gettysburg.
We had a marvelous time in New York, went up
to Yale, went to ball games and tennis matches
and felt like a college girl again. From New
Haven we went to Boston and then back to New
York by bus, ending up with a glorious visit at
Atlantic City where I attended the National
Biennial of General Federation of Women's Clubs.
It was a wonderful experience. Back to North
Carolina again in August. Now I'm home again
and very busy with the winter's work. Have just

Henrietta Lambdin (Mrs. Hui^h Turner) : "We
have moved back to McDonousfh. Spent a very
quiet summer. The children and I went to Barnes-
ville for a month and passed the rest of the vaca-
tion in Atlanta. My son is in the fourth grade,
so we expect to have a busy winter. Since our
return to McDonouch, I have been elected treas-
urer of the local P. T. A. and vice president of the
Woman's Club."

Mildred McGuire (Mrs. L. G. Bulsin) : "This
has been a summer of readjustments for me, as I
left the hospital last February and 'came to life
again!' I am almost well and have to be very
careful, so my days are rather uneventful. I have
had several trips this summer one to the Pacific
Coast, and have just returned from a hunting
trip where my husband did all the hunting. He
got a big" buck and we are living on venison now.
Lawrence is building a big" linen mill in Salem,
one of the first in the United States."

Kate Richardson (Mrs. J. J. Wicker, Jr.) :
" 'The family' and I are just back home after
spending- the summer in the North Carolina moun-
tains near Asheville. We drove down in our car
and had a really wonderful trip. This is the first
summer in four years I have had with the chil-
dren, for I usually go along to Europe with my
husband, and they are too young for that yet.
I especially enjoyed them and their antics during
the summer."

Greensboro and saw Janice Brown and Louisa
Duls, '26. During the week I stayed in New York
I saw Mary George (Kincannon) Howorth, ex '23,
Betty Floding, '21, Ethel Ware, '22, Elizabeth
Henry, Nonie Peck, and Hazel and Christine
Wofie, who are in College now. The first night
in Paris -vve met Pearl Smith, '23, and Mildred
McFall, ex '23. at the opera, and the next day
met Blanche Berry, '27. Robina Gallacher. ex
'12, had almost the same itinerary that we did:
w-e ran into each other at every city on the
continent. But the biggest surprise of all was
meeting Alex Morrison, ex '23, in the Campanile
at Venice. Alex and I had planned to room to-
gether our sophomore year, but she went to Ward-
Belmont instead, and w-e hadn't seen each other
since seven years ago. Neither one of us had
the faintest idea that the other was out of
the state of Georgia even, and then suddenly
to walk into each other there! It certainly was
a thrill."

1925 Class secretary, Belle Walker, 558 Greene
St.. Augusta, Ga.

1925 held its first reunion in May, and had a
jolly good time of it, too! Twenty-five girls were
back, and the stunt following the class luncheon
in the Tea House was so exceedingly clever (it
was and we don't mind bragging about it!) that
all the other alumnae cast up their eyes in admi-
ration at the cleverness of us ! We cast up our
own eyes, too, at precisely the same thing, for
although we knew of course that we were pretty
good, still the stunt was a triumph, and we are
justly proud of ourselves. Our good looks, health
spirits, and general collegiate air had not suffered
after a year's battling with the problems of the
world, far from the cloistered campus, we found,
and taking new courage to preserve our youth
and pep and junior-banquet-evening-dress until our
next reunion, we scattered to our various homes
and occupations. Each time w-e come back to
Agnes Scott, we love her more, and take fresh
strength away with us to meet our own personal
problems.

a dismal failure of such a simple thing as corn-
bread yesterday and being very discouraged over
my future as a successful cook. On the side, 1
have a couple of classes in French at the Mis-
sissippi Synodical College (where Margaret Mc-
Dow, '24, teaches) and am taking voice. Mar-

No report of a year in the life of the asso-
ciation is possible without a word of con-
tinued praise for the Alumnae House and
what it means not only to the alumnae but
to the college community, sponsoring, as it
does, practically all the teas, luncheons and
dinners given on the campus by faculty and
students. This year finds the Alumnae House
clear of debt, the last thousand dollars having
been paid to the trustees in January of this
year. Miss Florine Brown, as manager of the
house, has made a reputation for herself in
activity, willingness and efficiency and we are
glad to announce that she will be with us for
the coming year.

Another necessary item of this report is
the Alumnae Quarterly, beginning with the
Alumnae Register in the fall, followed by
three regular editions, continuing to bind the
alumnae closer together with its class and col-
lege news.

The detailed report of the work on card

index files and all correspondence and business
carried on in the office will be made by Miss
Polly Stone, executive secretary. The asso-
ciation has been exceedingly fortunate in se-
curing Miss Stone in this capacity and I can-
not rightly express to her our esteem and
appreciation of her capable planning and her
energetic accomplishing of her plans, of her
personality and ability, and we are indeed
happy to begin the new session with her in
charge of office affairs. One of her signal
accomplishments of the year was the radio
program, broadcast from WSB on February
22nd, Founders Day, with alumnae listening in
all over the country, a stream of telegrams
attesting to the work of preparation done for
this program among the alumnae by Miss
Stone and to the success of this endeavor,
which we hope will become an annual occur-
rence.

Another innovation, successfully proved
this year, was the course in playwriting offered
in the curriculum under Miss Stephens, herself
a playwright of note, and financed by the
alumnae association. The four best one act
plays written during the year were produced
through the courtesy of Miss Gooch and
Blackfriars in Atlanta, Decatur, and Char-
lotte, N. C, and such was the commendation
of the work of the course that this fall the
college will gladly assume the financing of it.
The demonstrating of the need and value of
such a course has been a real contribution of
the association to its college.

Our "college after college" courses offered
to our alumnae through our office and the
kindness of a group of the faculty are again
ready to be signed up for and it is hoped that
this service to our alumnae may develop in the
next few years into a splendid branch of our
work. The need of a circulating library to
aid alumnae in small towns to use these
courses is something to be immediately pressed.

A silver loving cup offered last year for

28

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

the first time to the best reunion class and
won by the class of 1910, is to be reawarded
on Alumnae Day of this commencement. This
cup with its yearly engravings of the winning
reunion classes is to be kept in the Alumnae
House to be enjoyed by all returning alumnae.

Again, as last year, I wish to thank the
members of the association and especially the
general officers and chairmen of the commit-
tees for their earnest endeavors and their co-
operation and to assure you that it has made
of these two years of service together a time
of pleasure.

I know I voice the sentiment of the whole
association in expressing to the incoming pres-
ident and her board our heartiest wish for
the greater growth of our association under
their leadership, for success in every new en-
deavor, for betterment of every past effort
and we pledge you our support as members
of the association. And, after all, every ac-
complishment, every advance of our associa-
tion depends on the individual member, on
her interest, loyalty and cooperation. When
each of us catches the vision before our college
today, feels the responsibility of helping her
press toward the mark, then indeed, will the
Alumnae Association be the perfect organiza-
tion of service for Agnes Scott.

Respectfully submitted,
Fannie G. (Mayson) Donaldson,

President.

REPORT OF GENERAL SECRETARY

The secretary comes very humbly and apo-
getically forward and pleads forgiveness for
her many sins of omission and commission on
the grounds that in September, 1925, she was
plunged into the midst of a very busy and
growing alumnae organization, a brand new
secretary, and utterly ignorant of how alum-
nae affairs are conducted.

In order to do any work at all with our
Alumnae we must know where to find them.
The whole structure of alumnae work is built
on this, and an Alumna without an address
is of very little use to the Association. A
great deal of work has been done this year
in locating lost Alumnae. Last September
there were 105 definitely lost, and 570 whose
addresses were doubtful, making a total of
675. We now have the correct present ad-
dresses of all but 51 of these 675.

A card file has been made this spring of all
the alumnae classes. This file gives not only
the names of the class graduates, but all the
girls who matriculated as freshmen and started
out with each class.

The system has also been begun of having
a folder file, containing a manilla folder for
each Alumna, in which is kept all correspond-
ence between this Alumna and the office, any
newspaper clippings, photographs, news items
which have appeared in the Quarterly about
her, etc.

By reason of several misunderstandings and
resignations there has been no publicity chair-
man, for the greater part of this year, so the
work of this committee has been entirely car-
ried on in the alumnae office. The Quarterly
has appeared regularly this year, and at the
magazine clinic, held during the recent con-
vention of alumni magazine editors when the
alumni magazines from 91 of the leading col-
leges and universities of the United States
and Canada were literally torn page from page
by expert anonymous criticism, the Quarterly
was spoken of very favorably, its general tone
and appearance and the amount of news and
spirit of the Concerning Ourselves depart-
ment commended. Writeups of various
alumnae activities and social functions have
been sent in from time to time to the Atlanta
papers, and a copy of the picture of the
granddaughters club at Agnes Scott, which is
composed of the daughters of alumnae, taken
in front of the Alumnae House, was sent by
special request a week or so ago to the brown
section of the New York Times.

The alumnae association memberships have
increased by 27 this year, not counting mem-
bers from the senior class. There is one new
life member.

The secretary has had the pleasure of visit-
ing the Atlanta, Birmingham, Charlotte and
Marietta clubs during the year, and of attend-
ing the national convention of alumni and
alumnae secretaries held at Columbus, Ohio,
at the University of Ohio.

A special eflfort has been made to bring the
students at the College into closer relation
with the alumnae through contacts with re-
turning alumnae at the Alumnae House,
through promoting contacts in the home
towns. In the fall a talk was made by the
secretary to the entire student body, linking

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

29

up the work of students and alumnae, and
in the early part of May, a talk to the senior
class on their entrance into the privileges and
work of the Alumnae Association.

In connection with the curriculum commit-
tee, a small circulating Hbrary has been estab-
lished in the alumnae office and it becomes
the work of the secretary to turn librarian
and be responsible for getting these books to
the different subscribers to the college after
college courses.

Any other report from the office would
overlap the reports of the committee chairman.

General Secretary.

were hostesses during the Christmas holidays
at a tea for High School Seniors and Char-
lotte girls who are students at Agnes Scott.
Our alumnae secretary. Miss Polly Stone, rep-
resented Agnes Scott at College Day celebra-
tions at Charlotte, Monroe, and Concord,
N. C.

Lists of High School seniors and juniors
have been sent in from the majority of places
mentioned. The alumnae secretary has pre-
pared posters and other material which have
been placed in the libraries of the High
Schools in the cities mentioned.

REPORT OF PREPARATORY
SCHOOLS COMMITTEE

The committee has tried to follow out the
line of work of last year in concentrating
activity in a limited number of places. These
cities have been

Nashville, Tenn.

Little Rock, Ark.

Jacksonville, Fla.

Pensacola, Fla.

Mobile, Ala.

Miami, Fla.

Macon, Ga.

Louisville, Ky.

New Orleans, La.

Charleston, S. C.

A member of the committee lives in each
of these cities. A letter was written to each
member asking her, if possible, to do three
things: (1) To secure representation for
Agnes Scott at local College Day celebrations
sponsored by local A. A. U. W. branches;
(2) to send in to the college registrar a list
of especially outstanding girls in the Senior
and Junior classes at High School; (J) to
cooperate with other Agnes Scott Alumnae
in her city in giving a tea to seniors of High
School and presenting Agnes Scott to them
by means of posters, stunts, and Agnes Scott
catalogues and other literature.

In many of the places there seems to be
no active A. A. U. W. branch and hence, no
college day celebration. Macon, Jacksonville,
and Pensacola hope to be able to arrange this
in the near future.

REPORT OF ALUMNAE HOUSE AND
TEA ROOM COMMITTEE

The work of the House and Tea Room
Committee has been facilitated and made ex-
ceedingly pleasant by the hearty cooperation
and efficiency of Miss Florine Brown, man-
ager of the House and Tea Room, and Miss
Polly Stone, General Alumnae secretary and
hostess of the Alumnae House. Also we are
very grateful to Miss Carrie Scandrett for her
excellent keeping of the Tea Room books.
And last, but by no means least, thanks are
due those three faithful upholders of the rep-
utation of the Tea Room kitchen, Bartow,
Laurie, and Ola.

The house has been the recipient this year
of some lovely gifts, which the Committee
acknowledges with appreciation. The beau-
tiful lustre tea set, presented by Miss Margaret
Phythian, has been the possible exciting cause
of numbers of afternoon teas given this year.
We are grateful for the little salt dishes given
by Miss Florine Brown. A silver ladle was
presented by some anonymous friend, and a
set of crystal sherbet glasses, and ice tea
glasses by another friend. Crystal goblets for
the dining room table came from Eileen Dodd
Sams. Dresser covers were presented by the
Marietta Club, a door stop by the Richmond
Club, and a handsome silver pitcher by the
New Birmingham Club.

The gifts of Mrs. Young and Anna Young
Eagan, two silver sandwich trays, a pair of
silver candlesticks, and some flat silver, help
to make our private dining room a most at-
tractive place in which to entertain. These,

30

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

together with other gifts to the house, some
linen from Dr. Sweet and Miss McKinney, a
table runner from Miss Annie Newton, and a
silver lemon fork, from little Marion Sams,
son of Eileen Dodd Sams, came on a very
special occasion, the Home-Coming Tea for
Alumnae given at Alumnae House on No-
vember the twenty-fifth. Miss Anna Young's
birthday.

This Home Coming Tea was in reality a
happy reunion for Alumnae. Dr. and Mrs.
McCain, Miss Hopkins, the Faculty, and rep-
resentative students from diflferent College or-
ganizations were with us too. In addition,
Mrs. Young, Miss Anna's sister, Mrs. Paul
Brown, and little Anna Young Eagan helped
entertain our guests. This birthday party
would be a lovely event to celebrate annually.

At the January meeting of the Executive
Committee of the Association the opinion was
expressed that the refurnishing of the
Alumnae House, as needed from time to time,
should become the work of local clubs, and
that the appropriation from the Association
treasury for the House, should be used in the
repairing and general upkeep of the house.
When a great need, namely new furnishings
for the living room, was presented to the
Atlanta Club, that most responsive group
immediately voted to refurnish it. New cur-
tains have already been placed by the Atlanta
Club in both the living room and dining
room.

Purchases for the House and Tea Room:

Tea Room funds equal five per cent per
month of Tea Room profit:

Three dozen cups and saucers.

One dozen cereal bowls.

Four individual tea pots.

Eighteen cream pitchers and sugar bowls.
Fund from Ahimnae Budget:

Cretonne curtains for Tea Room.

Walls, woodwork and shades in Alumnae
House cleaned.

Tea Room floor refinished.

Refrigerator.

Financial Statement:

Total receipts $10,178.10

Total profits 1,3.62.7^

75% of profits to Alumnae Asso-
ciation 1,022.07

20% of profits to Miss Brown 272.54

5% of profits to Tea Room fund

(including $8.75, 5% of profits

of May, 1925) 76.89

Besides the names of returning alumnae our
Guest Book contains names of friends from
Canada, China and Japan. The total num-
ber of guests registered in our Guest Book this
year is 230. We hope that the distinguished
guests, whom it has been our pleasure to
entertain during the year, have become real
friends of Agnes Scott after their visit to
the Alumnae House. Some of these are as
follows: Mrs. Amelia H. Reinhardt, Dr.
Mina Kerr, Dr. Lillian Welsh, Dr. Walter L.
Lingle, Dr. Oscar Voorhees, Professor Edward
P. Cheyney, Miss Alice Cheney, Dr. James I.
Vance, Mr. Alfred Kreymborg.

The following recommendation, made by
the Committee to the Executive Committee of
the Association at a recent meeting was ap-
proved. That the week including November
the twenty-fifth. Miss Anna Young's birth-
day, be established as annual Home Coming
week for alumnae during which a Birthday
Tea be given, whenever feasible, on Novem-
ber the twenty-fifth, which time will be a most
fitting one for any local club, or group of
alumnae, or individuals, desiring to make a
gift to the House, to present it.

Respectfully submitted,

Annie Bryan Scott,

Chairman.

THE REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE
ON VOCATIONAL GUIDANCE

Last year a large percentage of the ques-
tionnaires returned by alumnae expressed a
need for some kind of vocational advice dur-
ing their undergraduate years. Many felt
that they had needed more urging to use the
academic advantages of the college, others felt
that they needed more specific information
as to actual vocations, others felt that they
had need encouragement for graduate work,
and so on. The committee has written to
the following colleges and universities this
year to ask what they were doing for under-
graduates along these lines:

Mount Holyoke.

Goucher.

Welleslcy.

Randolph -Macon.

North Carolina College tor Women.

University of Colorado.

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

31

University of Wisconsin.

University of Montana.

University of Kansas.

Northwestern University.

Stanford University.

In writing we asked what they were doing
along the hne of student personnel, including
under this educational advice, vocational in-
formation, and relating a student to college
in any other ways. Most of the information
received was concerned with the work done in
vocational "guidance". Most of the people
preferred not to use this term, but said it was
rather vocational information.

We found a great difference in the methods
used, as was natural in such a variety of
universities. It was true, for the most part,
that the larger universities do a more organ'
i?ed piece of work in this direction since they
do not have the advantage of the intimacy of
the smaller college. We find, though, that the
principle back of most of the work was iden-
tical. As the Personnel Director of one of
the large universities said. When we permit
a student to enter the university we believe
that we undertake the responsibility of giving
to that student every opportunity to develop
to the highest degree of which she is capable.
To that end we, in the Personnel Office, try
to use all the resources of the university and
of the city to help a student evaluate factors
and build and grow wisely. (This is not an
exact quotation, but contains the meaning of
her remark.)

We recognize that Agnes Scott is a small
college and is able to care for many of the
adjustments of student life through the reg-
ular faculty and through the Dean's office.
We also remember from our own college days
that the purpose of the college has ever been
the full development of each student and that
the entire personnel of the college has united
to make this purpose effective. Because this
is true, we are making no recommendations as
to what further might be done. The admin-
istration is studying this far more thoroughly
than we are able to do. We are, however,
sending to the alumnae office the material we
have collected hoping that it might be found
useful. We are also writing her some of the
things alumnae have said they wished might
have been done for them during their under-
graduate days knowing that she will be able

to use such suggestions to the greatest ad-
vantage.

We would urge that alumnae constantly
make available to the administration discov-
eries they make as to what would have been
of aid to them as undergraduates. We have
so many regrets after the four years are over
that we did not do this and that. It may be
that we owe to undergraduates the registering
of these regrets and some of the things we
think might have prevented them other than
growing older!

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON

BEAUTIFYING BUILDINGS

AND GROUNDS

During the past year the college has been
rapidly following out the plan of foundation
planting of evergreens around the permanent
buildings on the campus.

In February the Alumnae Association gave
this Comittee fifty dollars to spend on shrub-
bery about the tea-room entrance of the
Alumnae House. Upon the advice of Wach-
endorff Brothers, a planting of evergreens was
made, which adds greatly to the attractiveness
of this entrance. Miss Brown has taken great
interest in the shrubbery and flowers around
the Alumnae House. She planted the pan-
sies which are so beautiful now and also many
bulbs that were enjoyed early this spring.
Thanks are due Miss Brown for her care and
interest in this, our part of the campus.

The last and happiest thing that the Com-
mittee has done was to spend five hundred
dollars in decorating the office of Miss Hop-
kins. This gift was made with the full appre-
ciation of the pleasure that it would give, not
only to Miss Hopkins, but also to the college
community as well as to the Alumnae. I re-
gret that I am not at liberty to give its source.
With the advice of Mr. Friddell, of Friddell
Brothers, we have had the wood work painted
ivory and the walls papered in soft pastel
colors, with gray predominating. The floor
IS stained walnut. With the advice of Mr.
Hanse, of the Brown Decorating Co., there
are glazed chintz draperies, a rug which al-

32

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

most covers the floor, a flat top mahogany
desk, two new lamps (the old chandelier is
gone and there is no ceiling light). Two oak
cabinets have been refinished in walnut. Miss
Hopkins still has her lovely pictures so that
she will feel at home in the midst of her new
surroundings. We have gone into detail for
the benefit of those who will read this re-
port in The Bulletin for we know that every
one present went by the office before coming
here. Miss Hopkins is always the very first
one that we look for when we come back to
Alma Mater.

The work of this committee has been a
great joy for the past four years and it is
with reluctance that we give it up. We feel
that we cannot close this report without a
word of thanks for the very cordial considera-
tion by Dr. McCain, of every suggestion that
we have made during this time.

Respectfully submitted,

Alice Candler Guy,

Chairman.

REPORT OF LOUISE McKINNEY
PLAY CONTEST COMMITTEE

Year Ending May 20th, 1926

It was thought wise by the Play Contest
Committee to ask the donor of the prize to
withhold the award for the year 1925-26,
thus making the last year of the contest 1926-
27. This request was granted. Consequently
there have been no contestants this year.

Special effort will be made by the commit-
tee during the ensuing year to interest as
many alumnae as possible in entering the
contest. Plays must be in by January 1st,
1927, and the award will be made May, 1927.
Respectfully submitted,

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON CLASS
REUNIONS

A great deal of work has been done
through the Alumnae Office this year in
connection with the Committee on Class Re-
unions. Numberless letters have been writ-
ten, information furnished, and enthusiasm

and interest aroused, as is shown by letters
received from alumnae who could not re-
turn, and by the large number who are with
us today. The alumnae are being recognized
more and more as an integral part of the
College, and are being given more part in
the commencement program. The class
luncheons and stunts of last year showed a
fine spirit and the reunions for this year
promise to be equally as good.

Respectfully submitted,
Ruth (Slack) Smith, '12,

Chairman.

REPORT OF ALUMNAE AID LEAGUE

On account of the death of the Treasurer
of the Alumnae Aid League, Elizabeth (Den-
man) Hammond, the report is given by the
chairman of the Aid League.

The work that the Aid League has been
able to accomplish during the past year has
encouraging. With the money already
in the treasury, together with amounts re-
turned from previous loans, we have been
able to give assistance to four girls in Col-
lege who otherwise could not have continued
their college course. The financial report is
as follows:

Receipts :

REPORT OF THE ALUMNAE
SCHOLARSHIP COMMITTEE

The Committee has had a number of I
promising apphcants for the alumnae scholar-
ship for the coming session. We only regret
that we have only one scholarship to award.
The Committee feels that although the
amount of the scholarship is inadequate as
far as money goes, that the honor of receiv-

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

33

ing the scholarship is one that should be
awarded with discretion. After careful in-
vestigation of the applicants as to character,
scholarship and true worth, the scholarship
for the next year has been given to Miss
Walterette Arwood, of Atlanta. She comes
to us from the Girls' High School, of Atlanta,
and is cordially recommended by the head of
that institution, as well as by others who have
known her intimately.

Respectfully submitted,
Ethel (Ale.xander) Gaines, '00,

Chairman.

THE REPORT OF THE PLAY-
WRITING CLASS, 1925-6 .

At the beginning of the college year the
Alumnae Association sponsored a new class
Playwnting.

Nine students took the course. These were
Seniors and advanced English students. One
had to drop out this Spring because of a too
heavy schedule and poor health. Eight fin-
ished the entire work.

No credit could be given for the work
this year, since it was regarded as an experi-
ment. These students must be advanced Eng-
lish scholars to be able to write plays. It is
considered the most difficult of all the crea-
tive arts. They had to take precious time
from the heavy schedule of credit-given study.
When one considers all the sacrifice and hard
work of this class of 25-26, one feels too
much praise could hardly be given.

The director of the Playwriting course did
all she could to make the course intensive and
to spare the students. By fifteen to twenty
hours weekly of outside preparation on her
part, and by individual letters on the differ-
ent plays she was able by one lecture weekly
to the assembled class to give them as much
as if she had given daily lectures. After
four months the plays were written which
were produced February 20th at the college
by the Blackfriars, who also took them to
Charlotte and to Atlanta with much success.
During the Spring term the one-act plays
have been excellent, and work on three-act
plays was begun. One of the students has
written a long play which is of fine quality.
Others expect to finish their plays in time
to enter them in the Play Contest this Fall.

Of the first plays produced some of the

comments were particularly gratifying. Dr.
McCain wrote that during his experience at
the college nothing had aroused more en-
thusiasm. A Harvard graduate wrote that
during his three years at Harvard he had
seen all of the productions of the famous 47
Workshop, and none were better and few as
good as this first Playbill of Agnes Scott.
When the plays were produced in Charlotte
a graduate of the University of North Caro-
lina said the plays were as good as those of
the Carolina Playmakers who have been work-
ing seven years. When they were produced
in Atlanta, one of the Drama League of-
ficers declared they were the best amateur
plays she had ever seen.

The present director has agreed to take
the class for another term. The course has
been approved by the Faculty and admitted
into the curriculum with one hour's credit.
The girls who have signed for the class are
of unusual ability. It is hoped that some real
achievement will result.

The Alumnae Association, in inaugurating
such a class, has builded perhaps better than
they knew. If these nine girls go home with
intelhgent love an-d equipment for a better
theatre, for wanting to see and write plays of
life they understand, and to make the South
really live as she should in dramatic litera-
ture, they will go far in establishing in the
South one of the greatest of the fine arts and
in giving the world a true picture of our own
wonderful land.

A word of appreciation should be given to
Miss Louise McKinney, of the English De-
partment, for her great interest in and help
in arranging the schedules so that the stu-
dents could enter the class, and for her con-
tinued inspirational encouragement; to Dr.
Goods for his interest and kindly advice and
help; to Dr. McCain, Dean Hopkins, and to
each member of the faculty for their ap-
proval and encouragement which have meant
so much; finally, and in greatest measure, to
Miss Gooch and the Blackfriars without
whose wholehearted cooperation our plays
could never have reached the pubhc.

This report is, therefore, a word of con-
gratulation to the Alumnae for having estab-
lished in the college a dramatic workshop of
real significance. Of their many fine achieve-
ments the Alumnae will find this of enduring

34

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

value since it touches and colors not only the
individual, but the community and the coun-
try. Let us look forward to the time when
we shall have our own theatre on the campus,
and our Dramatic Workshop will be known
the nation over.

Respectfully submitted.

Nan Bagby Stephens,

Director Course of Playwriting, Agnes
Scott College.

After the reading of this report, it was
voted that the secretary be authorized to
write a note of appreciation to Miss Stephens
for all she had done for her class throughout
the year.

It seems fitting to report to the General
Association that the Playwriting course in-
augurated last year under the auspices of the
Alumnae Association has been most success-
ful in every respect, due to the able and tal-
ented leadership of Miss Nan Stephens. The
bill of four one-act plays recently presented
at the College, at Charlotte, N. C, and in
Atlanta, are abundant evidence of that fact.
They received wide-spread praise and com-
mendation.

The College, in recognition and apprecia-
tion of this course, has incorporated it in the
curriculum and assumed the expense. The
Alumnae Association has a right to feel proud
of its accomplishment.

In no sense an official committee, but as
an interested member of the Association, I
volunteered to raise the money necessary to
finance this course for the trial year $500.00.
I am glad to be able to report that the amount
has been raised from the following sources:

General Association $250.00

Decatur Club 100.00

Charlotte Club 75.00

Individuals 75.00

$500.00

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MINUTES

The Executive Committee of the Alumnae
Association had its annual May meeting in the
Anna Young Alumnae House on May 20,
1926. The meeting was called to order by
the president, Mrs. Donaldson. The min-
utes of the last meeting were not read, as
they had been published in the Quarterly.
The detailed report of the Treasurer was
postponed until the general meeting. The
budget for 1926-27 was approved and ac-
cepted as presented by the Treasurer. Mrs.
Donaldson reported a request from the Stu-
dent Annual staff that the annual next year
be dedicated to the Alumnae and that the
Alumnae have four pages of pictures of out-
standing alumnae. As the cost of these
pages would be $80.00, it was moved that
$80.00 be added to the miscellaneous fund
in the budget for this purpose. The motion
was seconded and carried. A discussion fol-
lowed as to how the Alumnae whose pictures
were to appear in the annual were to be
chosen. It was moved that a committee from
the Association should meet with the student
annual staff to decide how the choice should
be made. This committee was composed of
Margaret Bland and Ruth (Slack) Smith.

Mrs. Annie Pope (Bryan) Scott in her re-
port from the Tea Room Committee spoke
of the need of linoleum for the Tea Room
and kitchen floors, and suggested that a sink-
ing fund be created by which the linoleum
could eventually be bought. Mrs. Carol
(Stearns) Wey moved that since there was
an unused surplus in the budget this year.

the linoleum be bought this summer. This
motion was seconded and carried.

Mrs. Carol (Stearns) Wey then gave the
report from the Alumnae Trustee. It is the
policy of the Board of Trustees to have two
alumnae members, one serving for three years,
and one serving for two years, one elected
from the alumnae at large, one to represent
the Alumnae Association. The following
resolution as to election of the member rep-
resenting the Alumnae Association was read :

"The Alumnae Association of Agnes Scott
College, believing that close contact between
its active members and the Board of Trus-
tees of the College is of great value to both
bodies, the Executive Committee of the As-
sociation, at its regular meeting on May 20th,
1926, adopted the following resolutions:

"Resolved, That the Alumnae Association
of Agnes Scott College recommends to the
Board of Trustees of the College that the
retiring President of the Alumnae Associa-
tion be elected by the Trustees as the Alum-
nae Trustee for the two-year term.

"Resolved further, That the Alumnae As-
sociation recommends, whenever advisable,
the President of the Association be invited
to attend meetings of the Board of Trustees,
provided that such attendance does not con-
flict with the policy of the Board relative to
presence of non-members at its meetings.

"Resolved, That Mrs. Carol S. Wey, the
present Alumnae Trustee for the two-year
term, be authorised and is directed to pre-
sent these recommendations on behalf oi the
Alumnae Association, to the Board of Trus-
tees at its next regular meeting."

Margaret Bland,
Secretary Alumnae Association.

After a discussion, it was moved that this
resolution be adopted. It was seconded and
carried.

Committee reports, with the exception of
resolutions, were postponed until the general
meeting.

Mrs. Annie Pope (Bryan) Scott read a
recommendation that each year Homecoming
Week at the Alumnae House be observed and
that the party on Miss Anna Young's birth-
day be made a permanent feature, suggesting
that people desiring to give gifts to the House
give them at that time. It was moved that

the recomemndation be adopted. The mo-
tion was seconded and carried.

It w,is reported that a new Agnes Scott
club had been organized in Asheville, N. C,
making nine Agnes Scott clubs for next
year.

The report of the Curriculum committee
was presented, but not read in detail.
The meeting adjourned.

Respectfully submitted,

Margaret Bland, "20,

Secriitary.

A motion was made that the reports be
accepted. The motion was seconded and
carried.

Mrs. Donaldson reported that the Asso-
ciation had paid a pledge of $100 to the A.
A. U. W.

Votes had been cast at the beginning of
the meeting for the new officers, so the Bal-
lot committee, Anna Meade, '23, chairman,
had the announcement of the new officers,
ready as soon as the business was over. The
following officers were elected for the next
years:

THE WOMAN'S COLLEGE OF THE FUTURE

wherever college graduates gather together in a thoughtful mood, there you
will find today serious questions of the future of the American college. We are used
to taking this institution for granted, forgetting that it is comparatively young as
an educational device, that it is almost exclusively American, and that it has yet to
justify its existence by the test of its fruits. In America alone has it become almost
a social necessity that young men and women shall spend four years in semi-monastic
seclusion, their serious efforts divorced with great care from whatever is to be their
future sphere of activity.

Small wonder that the voice of protest is heard in the land, that the most
thoughtful graduates of American colleges question most seriously their whole plan
and set-up even while they still illogically love and would serve them. This is true
of both men's and women's colleges; we are here concerned with the definite problem
as it applies to such a college as Agnes Scott.

Perhaps the fairest method of procedure is to list the basic criticisms which are
made against the conventional type of woman's college of which Agnes Scott is a
fair example. Everj^thing said here could be said with equal force about practically
all the older and "best" women's colleges. The exceptions are honorable but scarce.

The most common complaint is that college does not prepare its students for the
life they are to lead, either for the work of the homemaker which a large majority
of women still need to master, or for the vocations outside the home which are in-
creasingly the choice of women, before or after inarriage. When we realize that
census figures bear out the astonishing fact that married women who work are in-
creasing in number five times as fast as their unmarried sisters, is it strange that
college graduate are asking questions? It is not entirely a question of vocational
training. It is rather challenging the whole principle upon which our college cur-
ricula are made up.

Another frequent criticism lays emphasis upon the failure of college training
to give students the knowledge every mature person needs of the world in which he
lives, of the society in which his lot is cast, and to which he must adjust himself.
And even more serious, our graduates come out ignorant of themselves, of the bodies
they inhabit, of the emotions which give drive to their lives, and of the spirit which
gives meaning to the whole performance. This is, in the judgment of many observers,
the most serious indictment we can make of our colleges. Those who have to deal
with fresh graduates know how abysmal is the ignorance of fine young people about
almost everything which makes for a successful adjustment to life.

Closely allied to this is the charge of undue emphasis in our education upon the
past, and upon the mind, which we are beginning to recognize with modern psychol-
ogists, as only one, and that not the most important of the factors that make up
personality. Probably it is too much to expect the immediate adoption of the dis-
coveries of psychology in the field of advanced education, and yet it has to come!

May we now assume that there is at least some measure of truth in these
criticisms, and ask ourselves what changes they suggest for the future? The task is
not an easy one, and great humility is the necessary part of the prophet. A beginning
has been made, however, in certain women's colleges and everywhere there is the

4 The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

consciousness that changes are due, and overdue, as we learn more of the real task of
education, and its power for good and ill.' Let us make no mistake, the tide is moving,
and we must be alive to its direction.

Very briefly it may be said that our future college program must be built, not as
now, upon a curriculum largely inherited from the past, but upon a study of what
our graduates are actually doing today, based upon the experimental frame of mind
which sometimes seems the best fruit of an education.

The experiments being made at Vassar and Smith to correlate college with home
problems are very significant; Anitloch College is blazing a new trail; tentatively,
colleges are trying to dovetail college courses with professional school requirements.
These are straws which show the direction of the wind. Fame awaits the college
which will boldly take the plunge into a thoroughly modern curriculum.

All of which is very difficult to see in terms of a workable program. Yet it is
not as hard as that other change which some moderns want to see happen; a col-
lege which will honestly endeavor to train each student, not only as a mentality, with
a body recognized by gym and exercise at stated intervals and a soul provided with
Chapel and Bible classes, but as a personality which is passing through its most criti-
cal years. During the college age, a girl should be learning not only to use her
mind, but far more important, to control her emotions, to live with others, to under-
stand her own powers and limitations, in short, as a mature person to know
her way about a grown-up universe, which expects social conduct and an adult per-
sonality.

It would be unfair to deny that some of these results are now being produced often
by what are ironically called "extra-curricular" activities, in other words, the most
vital needs of students have burst through in spite of the system, which is by the
way of being an argument for the change we are pleading for.

We may sum it all up in a word. The people who are doing the world's work
today are hungry for a greater knowledge of the basic values of life and for a
satisfying understanding of their own selves; can our colleges eqviip their students
with the basic facts, and the necessary tools to achieve this undertanding in ever
greater degree as they grow older? That is the final test of education.

Mary Cady.

THE NEW YORK ALUMNAE TAKE CHARGE

This issue of the Quarterly inaugurates the work of Elizabeth Wilson, '22, chair-
man of the publicity committee of the Alumnae Association, and Ruth (Slack) Smith,
'12, the second in command, and is practically all the work of alumnae now in New
York. Rather than a collection of scattered articles, the contents of this April
Quarterly are all built around the single motif of the advancement of education.

Miss Mary Cady, whose article, "The Woman's College of the Future," leads
in the table of contents, was for several years professor of history at Agnes Scott, and
is well known among the alumnae. Since January 1st, 1927, Miss Cady has been gen-
eral secretary of the Central Branch of the Y. W. C. A. in New York City.

Mrs. Hazen Smith (Ruth Slack), author of "The Art of Thought," is a graduate
of Agnes Scott in the class of 1912. She is at present studying in the field of voca-
tional guidance at Columbia University.

The two little girls in "The Coming Generation" are the daughters of Mrs. Henry
Noble (Martha Rogers, '14), now a student at Columbia University.

The article on "Agnes Scott at International House" was written by one of Agnes
Scott's own graduates who is studying there Katherine Seay, '18.

Atlanta refused to let New York have it all her own way, however. "Class
Reunions in May" is the contribution of Georgia May Little, '2 5, who has just re-
turned to her home in Atlanta after a year in California.

THE ART OF THOUGHT

Do you remember how we used to play "Truth" when we were children tell
your friends the mean things you knew about them and then end up by everybody
getting mad? We tried very much the same thing recently at International House
when in one of our groups we asked the students frpm the Orient to tell us frankly
what they thought of American students not compliments, but constructive criti-
cism. Everyone went into it in good spirit and it ended quite differently from our
childish game of "Truth," for the Orientals were exceedingly polite and the Ameri-
cans were glad of the chance to see ourselves as others see us so that we might remedy
our faults and correct wrong impressions.

The criticisms offered we felt were justly deserved though not always peculiar to
American students. Two which seemed to strike deeply were made by a Chinese
man and a Japanese girl. The criticism of the Chinese was that among American
students there was too much activity and too little thinking. The Japanese girl
with much hesitancy ventured to say that Americans did not know how to ask
intelligent questions, that most of the questions asked her were in regard to the
customs or dress of her country, things which any of our public school children should
have known.

It is true that we are so busy doing things that we have little time for thought.
More than once when in conversation with these foreign students I have been pain-
fully aware of the narrow provincialism of my own thinking, for, as the Japanese
girl said, there are times when I am at a loss to know how to ask intelligent questions.

College years are supposed to serve as a key to open the gateway leading into the
realm of thought, but alas! only a few enter, for the majority merely gaze across
as the gate swings to, and are content to live their lives without even passing beyond
its portals. I wonder if inost of us are not in this group?

Miss Leslie Blanchard set me thinking of these same things a few days ago when
she talked at Teachers' College chapel. Some of you probably remember Miss Blanch-
ard from college days and Blue Ridge conferences, for she is National Secretary of
the Student Y. W. C. A., and you may be interested in what she had to say on
the "art of thought." She prefaced her talk by quoting a bit of verse:

"Cows have such a serious look,
They must be thinking;
But I don't know
I've seen the very same look on men."

(She called it "verse," but I was immediately reminded of a conundrum current
a year ago: What is the difference between a cow chewing her cud and a flapper chew-
ing gum? Answer: The intelligent expression on the face of the cow.)

Miss Blanchard said our thoughts lack spaciousness. They are short tethered for
we do not reach out beyond our own limited range. Because we do not take the
leisure to allow our short thoughts to incubate there are no new insights born within
us and we become dogmatic. Reflecting the trend of American life today so much
of our thinking is economic. It is self-centered and has to do with our immediate
needs, with our comfort and security. That is apt to be a weakness with our Southern
college women for we seldom think beyond our own family, our own home, our
friends, and what concerns them; we have no world-thoughts. We never know
the intense activities of the imagination that will enable us to find new insights and
illuminations. We do not abandon ourselves to new ranges of thought because too
often we are limited by the walls of our office, or class room or home. Should
we dare venture beyond our ego centric sphere we are not willing to face the con-
sequences, our complacency is disturbed and our apathy broken. A Soviet officer test-

6 The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

ing the loyalty of a Russian peasant once said, "If you had two milhon rubles
what would you do with them?" "I would first give one million to the government
and keep the other for myself," was the reply. "If you had two houses what would
you do?" "I would give one to the government and keep the other for myself."
"Well, if you had two pairs of pants what would you do?" The peasant hesitated,
for he had the two pairs of pants. Do not we, too, hesitate to apply our theories to
actualities?

Our thoughts rarely attain simplicity and unity. We are furious in our ac-
tivity on many subjects but never establish a wide range of associated ideas on any
one subject. We lack integration because to acquire it demands too much mental
discipline. We should master the art of thought that enables us to be satisfying to
ourselves and socially useful. It is a slow process, demanding determined discipline of
self and the abandoning of any dogmatic ideas, but let us resolve to follow new
roads of mental experience, not troubled by the new, not impatient with the old.

Ruth (Slack) Smith, '12.

AGNES SCOTT AT INTERNATIONAL HOUSE

The five questions which students today are most interested in discussing, as was
evident from the National Student Conference in Milwaukee, are concerned with inter-
national relations, inter-racial relations, war, industrial relations, and religion. Finding
these questions so closely interrelated, and impatient with an attitude which expresses
itself only in words, students are making experiments along all these lines, testing out
their theories in the laboratory of life. Some have gone into industry for several
weeks or months; others have joined interracial discussion groups; others have be-
come members of cosmopolitan clubs, or better still, have gone on pilgrimages of
friendship to Europe or the Orient, as a means of promoting understanding and
sympathy between students of different countries.

One of the most significant experiments in the realm of international and inter-
racial relationships is going on at International House, a dormitory built by John D.
Rockefeller, Jr., for the foreign students in New York. Five hundred and twenty-
five students, from sixty different countries, are living in the building. Of these,
two-thirds are men, one-third women. The representation from the United States
is limited to one-fourth of the total number. There are two separate dormitories, one
for men and one for women, with a cafeteria, social rooms and a lobby which are
used by all.

Located as it is on Riverside Drive, with its beautiful furnishings of the Colonial
period, residence in International House is nevertheless not so expensive as to be be-
yond the pocketbook even of students who are working their way through college.
The deed of gift and articles of incorporation require it to be self-supporting, but not
a money-making institution.

Meetings, discussions, and entertainments of all kinds are held each week, to
which all residents of the House are invited. Programs are put on by the different
national groups and there are lectures and discussions involving all the problems of
the universe.

Agnes Scott's representation at International House is, appropriately, inter-
national: Mrs. Hazen Smith (Ruth Slack) '12, from LaGrange, Ga., Katherine Seay,
'18, from Nashville, Tenn., and Mrs. Pilley Kim Choi, '26, from Korea. Ruth Slack
is studying Vocational Guidance, Katherine Seay is majoring in Religious Education,
and is planning to continue her work as a Y. W. C. A. student secretary; Mrs. Choi
is studying secondary education at Teachers' College, with the intention of return-
ing to Korea next year to teach.

ROMANCIA

FRANKIE McKEE, '19

(Editor's Note: Miss McKee was editor for several years of one of the well-
known romance inagazines published in New York.)

"H , Texas, July 29, 19 .

Editor Heartbeats: (We'll call it for the element of suspense.)

I wish to say a few words in praise of your magazine. I am a great reader and
enjoy reading good stories. I find Heartbeats is hard to beat.

This last number was O. K. all the way through. Yet three stories appealed to
me more than the others. The first one, "The Flame of Love," goes to prove any
one can culture and refine themselves if they care to, as Jack Harper (hero) did.
Many fine characters are hidden by being uncultured and lack of refinement.

Next, "Taken by Storm" gives us a picture of real love such as Esther (heroine)
in this story had for Bob (hero). She was willing to give up everything for love of
him, she was willing to go all the way, give up everything for him. That is love,
nothing short.

Then your continued story, "The Love He Scorned," by R. M. A., an author who
knows her type of characters she is writing about, which takes to make an interesting
story.

Which goes to show also that Heartbeats editors are on the job (so to speak).
There is so many of us in life who are missunderstood. That is why I like Heartbeats
so well. Its stories are so human and real. And I say long live Heartbeats^

MRS. J. H ."

While Mrs. J. H. is typical of what we chose to call earnestly "our audience,"
married women passed by romance, the other type we catered to was the starved-for-
romance city girl, the girl whose patent-leather-haired-beau very likely took her to
the nearby movie. But she never, never had a man of the world, breathing dollar-
marks, tender and sleekly handsome, run her down in his Rolls-Royce, fall madly
in love with her pure, flower-like beauty and carry her off (in his arms) to con-
valesce in the left wing of a vine-covered stone mansion. Oh, those left wings!
How sweet in memory! Always fragrant with the scent of white lilacs and proper
under the understanding eye of an easy-to-weep, baglike caretaker named Mother
Griggs.

With all of this it wasn't a business of talking down to our faithful readers, who
took the yarns quite as seriously as we intended they should. Even before the manu-
scripts were carried away, meticulously edited, and given over to the unfeeling
printer, many were well salted with editorial tears. "Which goes to show," as
Mrs. J. H. proves, sob-sisters are born, not made. Days are by no means all lachry-
mose episodes for editors. Indeed, there are times when the welkin rings with laugh-
ter. Invariably does a shout of mirth blast the high heavens when romance runs
wild, as for example:

"Fay knew she loved him. She forgot to be conventional. She forgot
the tenets of the school in which she had been reared. She did a bold, an
astonishingly bold thing. She put out her hand her little cold trembling
hand, and touched Darwell on the arm."

Another excerpt that we loved (these are verbatim) makes no bones about the
modern young man:

"Roderick went out of doors and concealed himself in the most secluded
part of the garden to think. The process was painful in the extreme."

8 The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

Yet another author, hearing the jingle of two cents a word, should have his
rate doubled for:

"You worm!" cried his sister in withering scorn.

"You think so!" Arthur wriggled as is natural, of course, to a worm.

Whether or not love stories are the proper food for the coming generation is a
mooted question. I, for one, can see no harm in our youth and our married women
of dreary outlook having a heart throb over such noble sentiments, as:

"You have promised to marry me, and I'm going to keep you to your
word. Will you jilt me now when I am overwhelmed with sorrow?"

Ada might easily have told him that he had practically jilted her by not
appearing at the altar; but she could not be so ungracious.

THE COMING GENERATION

A great deal in curricula is like our appendices, not only unnecessary, but often
very troublesome. We have all felt like saying "Why?" to many of the courses of
study we have had. My little daughters this year are in a small private school. At
the first of the year, they had a little not inuch work on the multiplication tables.
Never have they said them up and down, backward and forward, yet they do multi-
plication and division just as well as any children their ages that I know. Why all
the drill and boredom of tables, then?

They spend very little time comparatively on the three R's, but they have spent
a great deal of time cutting and nailing wood into molds and dolls, making clay
bricks and Abraham's house, court and all, and dressing his family. Can you say
that they have not learned an unforgettable amount of co-operation, history, muscle
control and emotional control? They have learned to keep out of each other's way,
to help the one who was behind, to be polite even when impatient, to wait one's turn.
They have exercised all sorts of muscles sawing and nailing; they have acquired some
judgement of proportion, lines and color; and perhaps a little history of the early
Hebrews.

They are studying French and learning to read it by being in a French play. They
have gymnasium where they do dances, personifying fire and water. In singing they
have just had "Way Down Upon the Sewanee Riber-r-r." Instead of writing they
manuscript, which is all straight lines and circles like typewriting; they learn to do
it so readily and readably.

One more phase includes butter making and cheese making, visits to the dairy.
Just lately they have been on a real sightseeing trip, and have written stories about
it. The school prints its own paper (seventh grade) but nearly all the children have
contributions in it.

Even in the lower grades you can see what new ideas in education are doing to
acquaint children with their own emotions, with facts of their environment and
parts of life itself. Education everywhere is advancing by leaps and bounds, so fast
that it is hard to keep up with it. Some sort of criteria is needed to judge all the fads
and fancies, so that we can know just how much of a fad a new idea is.

Parents these days are realizing how necessary it is for them to know what their
children are doing; how necessary it is to become acquainted with new ideas. They
say "How are we to know a good plan from a bad one? How are we to tell what
our children will need fifteen or twenty years from now?" We cannot tell, of course,
but we can give them all the knowledge we can, and along with it, and more im-
portant than the amount of knowledge, we can teach them ways of using what they
acquire, and as time goes on, how to adjust the use of that knowledge to their
changing environments.

FOUNDER'S DAY RADIO PROGRAM REACHES

ALUMNAE

On February 22nd, Agnes Scott put on her second annual Founder's Day radio
program for the alumnae. President McCain, Dean Hopkins, Miss McKinney, pro-
fessor of EngUsh, and Polly Stone, general alumnae secretary, made short talks, and
the college glee club sang and sang! They were never better! Mrs. Lewis Johnson
(Gussie O'Neal), of the voice department at the college, trained the glee club for
this occasion.

The telegrams and phone calls which began to pour in almost as soon as the pro-
gram started were so very interesting to those of us at the college and to the scattered
alumnae too, that we regretted exceedingly that the radio announcer did not have
time to read them all back over the air. You alumnae who wired Dr. McCain then
would certainly have been pleased if you could have been in the Biltmore studio that
night and seen how thrilled we were over each telegram. They were passed eagerly
from hand to hand, and Miss Hopkins and Miss McKinney were in one continual,
broad, beaming smile as name after familiar name appeared, and the wording of the
telegrams showed the deep love for Agnes Scott which prompted their sending.

One of the most interesting messages was from little Rebekah Scott, month-old
daughter of Marie (Mclntyre) Scott, '12, and great granddaughter of the original
Agnes Scott, who had her daddy phone Dr. McCain that she was listening in with
great delight.. She sent her love and best wishes to any other members of the class
of '49 who might be listening in too, and ventured to wonder if there was going
to be a bed-time story somewhere on the program.

Emily (Divver) Moorer and Annie Aunspaugh listened in together in Greenwood,
S. C, and wrote that they lived again the old years at Agnes Scott Institute when
they heard the familiar tones of Miss Hopkins' and Miss McKinney's voices.

In many places, groups of alumnae, prospective students, parents of students
here now, and other friends met and enjoyed the evening's program together. Dr.
and Mrs. J. S. Brown of Hendersonville, N. C, invited any alumnae there to join them
at their home for the evening. Ellen Fain, '26, arranged transportation to the
home of Dr. and Mrs. Brown.

The Memphis, Tennessee, alumnae club wired cheerfully, "We are enjoying pro-
gram, static and ourselves."

But it will never do to start quoting the telegrams! There were too many of them
and they are all so interesting that it will be hard to tell when to stop. Two mornings
after the radio program. Miss Hopkins read all the telegrams in chapel so that the
student body and faculty might hear them. Sixteen states were represented in the
messages. Among the telegrams, letters and phone calls received were those from

Alabama Anniston Fannie McCaa.

Birmingham Birmingham Alumnae Club.
Courtland Katie Frank Gilchrist.
Huntsville Kathrine Pitman.
Marion Cornelia Cooper at Judson College.
Minter Georgia Wills (Kyser) Youngblood.
Piedmont Blanche Haslam.

WOODROW WILSON FOUNDATION AWARD
ANNOUNCEMENT

The Woodrow Wilson Foundation is offering two Woodrow Wilson awards of
twenty-five thousand each for the two best articles of two thousand five hundred
words on "What Woodrow Wilson Means to Me."

This award is to be made in order to bring to young people of the United States
a closer knowledge of the ideals and principles of our great war president. The con-
test is open to all young men and women in the country who have passed their
twentieth birthday and have not yet reached their thirty-fifth. The papers may
be written in an easy, natural style, since they are to be judged by the ideas con-
tained rather than for literary style. No lengthy quotation may be given. Three
excellent books by Mr. Wilson which will help contestants very much are "An Old
Master," "When a Man Comes to Himself," and "Mere Literature." On or before
October 1st, 1927, all papers must be in the hands of the judges at The Woodrow
Wilson Foundation Award, 17 E. 42nd St., New York City. Papers must be typed,
written on one side only, and sent unrolled to the judges. Any further information
about the contest may be had by writing to the above address. It is to be hoped that
a number of Agnes Scott's alumnae will interest themselves in this award, and write
on the subject. Our own Mrs. Sam Inman of Atlanta is in charge of the contest
in this part of the south, and is very anxious for Agnes Scott girls to compete.

WHO COMES TO CLASS REUNIONS THIS MAY,

ANYWAY?

If you belong to any of the classes given below, you are one of the ones who
come to class reunions. And that is just the way the girls are coming back this
year, too: "any way!" The important thing is to get here. Harriet (Scott) Bowen
is motoring down from Virginia; Annie (Wiley) Preston is sailing across the Pacific
Ocean; Dick Scandrett is going to walk on her own two feet over from Inman
Hall. That's the way to get here the best one that will bring you from what-
ever corner of this globe you've tucked yourself into! "Any way!" Come rolling
up in a wheelbarrow if that is the only thing that will bring you. Emory University
has provided a lake for the convenience of members of '07 who will come in their
hydroplanes; if any alumnae expecting to return in that way will notify the alumnae
office, they shall certainly find a lake of the proper proportions waiting them on
May 28th when they come within sight of Agnes Scott campus.

According to the old plan of class reunions, a class comes back its first year out,
its third year out, its fifth year out, and every fifth year thereafter. By this plan the
following classes would come back to the college this year:

'97 '17

'02 '22

'07 '24

'12 '26

All the members of the classes enumerated above are to gather at Agnes Scott
again this May 28th to 31st are the dates!
But this year, more are coming!

The Dix system of reunions, which has been adopted by many colleges already,
is to be put into working order at Agnes Scott this year, it was decided at the Febru-
ary meeting of the Alumnae Association Executive Committee. The new classes
which this new system will call back to reunion this year are:

'94 '13

'95 - '14

'n

An explanation of the Dix system is in order here. It is a plan of reunions
thought out by the late Mr. Edwin Asa Dix, a Princeton alumnus, and the secretary
of his class.

Since there are five-year intervals between the graduation of all the classes who
come back at one time to a reunion, obviously nobody who comes back knows any-
body else who comes back outside of her own class. The class of '17, for
instance, never saw any of the girls of '12, '02, '07, '22 or '97 the classes who
come back to reunion when '17 does. How much nicer it would be, Mr. Dix
thought, if returning alumnae had the joy of seeing again not only classmates, but
friends in other classes who were in college at the same time! By the system he
worked out, groups of four classes who were in college at the same time return the
same year. For example, the first time a class returns for a reunion, they find at the
college all the classes who were in college when they were freshmen. '17 returning
would find '16, '15, and '14. After five years, '17 returns again for reunion and
finds this time all the classes who were here when '17 was a sophomore, i. e., '15, '16,
and '18. Five years later when '17 comes back, it finds '16, '18, and '19. So that in
four reunions, any single class sees every class that was in college when it was. So
many of a girl's best friends are among girls in other classes that this plan should
work splendidly at Agnes Scott. We are trying it for the first time this year;
on the numbers from '94, '9 5, '13, '14, and '15 who return rest the success of the
plan.

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly 13

OPEN FORUM

WE DISCUSS THE AGNES SCOTT CURRICULUM

"Hasn't the alumna from North CaroHna in the Forum opened a hornet's nest?

"While I was at Agnes Scott, the course out of which I got the most value was
one I had in Home Economics. After all, of what avail is one's classical knowledge
when Johnny has a tantrum or the head-of-the-house is peevish from too much
dinner the night before?

"Many of the alumnae with whom I have talked agree that the most classic course
Agnes Scott could give would be one of 'Home' not just children or food, but
'Home' in all its moral, social, civic and economic aspects. With all the forces that
are threatening homes today, can Agnes Scott afford to let her girls go out to make
homes without giving them the opportunity to understand the relationship they ought
to have to the rest of the community? They must know enough about managing
their homes so that they may become worthy members of today's society.

"We more or less brag on the large percentage of our graduates who marry and
have children, yet we are not keeping up with the Eastern colleges who are making a
real effort along this line. Do let us try to impress our Alma Mater with the fact
that many of us consider this a real issue."

Member of the Class of '14.

This Atlanta alumna agrees with North Carolina:

"The Forum in the Quarterly for November hit me the hardest, for I had last
year been talking with some of the alumnae in my town about just the same sort
of thing that North Carolina wrote about. I found not a single mother who wasn't
tremendously interested and who didn't wish that she had had more of that sort of
thing at Agnes Scott. I know the college objections to it, but after all, education
needs not only to be cultural but to aid one in all sorts of social adjustments, and
certainly the most important of those are of husbar^d . and wife, and parents and
children. 'l-'J';^" ]' '^, i ;'"','','

"Where the family is the very foundation of our civilization, it does' 'seeiii hs
though it ought to hold a place of real importance in all-edifcrtpn." ]">', .,,

And from Tennesse comes the following: ; ; o > ,^ ,

"It's rather pathetic, isn't it, to see what happens to' ths 'mifids,'of 'most of the
alumnae who marry? Mellin's food, cook's day off, silver polish forrhlilas, how to
arrange flowers in vases, and to make mustard plasters of these are their lives made
up. I find it hard to believe it of girls who studied with me at Agnes Scott, who got
a real thrill out of mastering difficult mathematics problems, who began to under-
stand a little of the universality of thought and feelings through their study of other
languages, who through those fascinating history courses saw in a big way how
the races have marched forward to where we stand today. I cannot realize that
today, only a few years later, some of those same girls are advocating pushing into
secondary places these cultural courses, and substituting cooking, sewing, household
chemistry, and the care and feeding of infants. There are scores of women's maga-
zines that offer in each issue menus planned for every meal, for every size family, for
every size pocketbook, for every section of the country; ready-made dresses can be
purchased in any town, and the monumental Sears-Roebuck and Montgomery Ward
catalogues we have with us always; it is neither necessary nor efficient for every
housewife in the country to go back to chemical bases and prepare her own house-
hold compounds. This is an age of specialization. And one Dr. Holt has prepared a

:>/4-^^

very good book on babies. No, I am not an old maid school teacher. I have a hus-
band, three children, an eight-room house, and a cook to manage. I manage them.

"There are state colleges where cooking and cleaning and sewing are taught. They
have many students. They are doing a splendid work. Their doors are open to any
whose ambition leads them in that direction.

"During the freshman year at Agnes Scott when I was a student there, at some
time during the second semester a theme was required of the purpose of a liberal arts
college. We had a number of essays on the subject to read beforehand, and then
we were to formulate our own personal idea. 'To know the best that has been
said and thought in the world.' That is the purpose that the courses at Agnes Scott
are leading towards now, and I for one should be distressed to see the college side-
step to include in its curriculum methods of felling a seam, taking up grease spots
from carpets, or baking potatoes with the smallest amount of waste. Of course we
have to know these things! We have to know how to darn our stockings and brush
our teeth, too, but these are not the subjects to be taught in a liberal arts college.
Education is to enable us 'to see the big things, big, and the little things, little.' Are
the alumnae who clamor for household courses doing this, I wonder?"

CLASS REUNIONS IN MAY

Perhaps you hadn't noticed it, but all sorts of spring-like things are beginning
to happen. New hats, for instance, and flowering almond in bloom, and little fuzzy
chickens for sale in the ten cent stores. Remember how you used to struggle with
your conscience about this time of the year and end the struggle by going to walk
even if you did have a book signed up in the library? Or if you had taken as much
exercise as your card would hold, and if it was unusually warm and balmy you
and somebody else would take pillows out on the campus and pretend to do a little
studying "in the great outdoors." The trees would be just faintly green and all
the funny little bugs would be crawling out to see why the sun was so bright. The
squirrels get unusually frisky about this time, too, and do diverting and hair-raising
stunts on the telephone wires. Later on it gets really warm; doors and windows are
left open and you can he^r,, the pipe organ rumbling the length of the campus, to
say nothing of interesting conversations carried on just outside classroom windows.
Do you remember.-'

WpU, if you don't; you never went to Agnes Scott and there's no use your get-
ting hoiT^esick; for thert \\ ill be no perfectly wonderful reunion in store for you at
commencement time.

Of ^t/urse th,ei:e,wi!l betwo kinds of reunionists the official and the unoffiicial.
The official ones will be those who go because everybody else is going and nothing
on earth could keep them from being there. The others won't be having real class
reunions but that won't make a bit of difference because there will be more people
than they can talk to, anyhow. The married ones will brag about their husbands
and houses, and the ones who aren't married will brag about the joy of not having
any responsibilities. The ones with jobs will compare notes with the lady-like loaf-
ers; and each and every one will be sure to tell you that v/hatever she is doing
or planning to do is absolutely the only thing.

Fancy seeing So-And-So whom you haven't seen since such-and-such a year!
Won't it be marvelous? Wonder if she has changed much. Even if she has she'll be
her old self the minute she puts her foot on the campus . . . You know how it
goes . . . And haven't you a big bump of curiosity to see what the younger
classes look like? Of course they can't possibly come up to the class of 1492 or
1776 or whichever it is that claims your loyalty; still, they might have their good
points and it would be nice to assure yourself that Agnes Scott still has the finest
bunch of girls in the world.

NEWS FROM THE CAMPUS

ALLIE (CANDLER) GUY, NEW
ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT

At the February meeting of the executive com-
mittee, Mrs. S. E. Thatcher (Mary West, '15),
who was elected president of the Alumnae As-
sociation last May, tendered her resignation from
that office on account of her health. Mrs. J.
Sam Guy (Allie Candler, '1.^), who was formerly
first vice-president, will fill her unexpired term,
and Mrs. Milton Scott (Annie Pope Bryan, '15),
former 2nd vice-president, automatically became
first vice-president to fill Mrs. Guy's vacant
place.

At a meeting of the executive committee called
by Mrs. Guy on March 18th, Mrs. W. Reynolds
Cuthbertson (Julia Hagood, '20), was elected 2nd
vice-president, to serve until May, 1928.

Since the November Alumnae Quarterly went
to press, the students have opened on the second
floor of the new gym building a most attractive
little book shop. It is called Tabard Inn, and
any afternoon or evening that a body happens
to drop in to browse around among the delight-
ful volumes, she is sure to find quite as choice
spirits browsing too as ever frequented the old
Tabard Inn in Chaucer's day. Books of poetry,
fiction, essays red books, blue books, brown, or
green fat ones, thin ones leather bound, paper-
back Tabard Inn shelves offer you a wide variety.
An astonishingly large number of books have
been purchased by students and faculty since the
shop opened but in addition to the buying fea-
ture, there is a rent library of current fiction
there, and congenial souls are invited to come and
spend a free hour whenever they can, curled up
in a chair by the window reading, or to browse
without buying, to their heart's content. The
shop was begun and has been sponsored so far
by Hoasc, and is a popular nook for the literature
loving student.

Miss Cleo Hearon, head of the history depart-
ment, has returned from Wesley Memorial Hos-
pital, where she has been for almost eight weeks,
suffering from sinus infection. Miss Hearon was
prevented from chaperoning the debating team
to Randolph-Macon this year on account of her
illness.

The general alumnae secretary will attend the
annual convention of alumni and alumnae secre-
taries to be held at the University of North
Carolina the last week in April. This convention
met at the University of Ohio last spring.

For the first time in the debating history of
the College, Agnes Scott went down in a double
defeat in the intercollegiate debates this year with
Newcomb and Randolph-Macon Colleges. It is
an entirely new sensation for Agnes Scott to lose,
but we are proving that although fairly beaten
on the debating platform this time, we are good
sportsmen, and make as good losers as we have
made winners in the past.

ALUMNAE HOUSE GIFTS

Among the recent gifts to the Anna Young
Alumnae House are a taupe chenille rug for the
living room, given by the Atlanta Alumnae Club;
a lamp for the living-room table, from the Beards-
ley Studios, sent by Mrs. Horace Parker, whom
many Agnes Scott alumnae will remember as Miss
Ruth C. Pope; a Moravian pottery vase, and nest
of ashtrays, gifts of the New York Alumnae
Club; a silver service tray, gift of the '21 class;
a check from Mrs. Span Milner (Ida Brittain);
twelve large kodak scrapbooks (in which clip-
pings and kodak pictures of alumnae and their
children are to be kept) by Mrs. S. E. Thatcher
(Mary West); linen pillowcases, towels, and
dresser scarf, by Miss McKinney and Dr. Sweet,
and Miss Lillian Smith.

The living room rug is the beginning of the
work the Atlanta Alumnae Chapter has under-
taken to do on refurnishing the entire living
room. An interior decorator from the Brown
Decorating Company in Atlanta has submitted a
plan which the club proposes to follow in doing
over the room.

ALUMNAE GIFTS TO STUDENT
BODY

Last year the Alumnae Association sponsored
the drama course, under the direction of Miss
Nan Stephens. This year this course was included
in the regular college curriculum, so since this de-
partment no longer needed financial support from
the alumnae, they have turned their attention
and financial assistance towards another branch
of literature. At the February meeting of the
executive committee of the association, it was
voted to offer a prize of twenty-five dollars for
the best piece of verse written by an Agnes
Scott student this year. For several years past,
Agnes Scott has had a thriving poetry society,
which has done splendid work, and received
quite a bit of recognition from national critics.
The visit of Mr. and Mrs. DuBose Heyward of
Charleston to Agnes Scott year before last
furnished an impetus toward the production of
poetry by our students. Miss Louise DriscoU, a
nationally known poet, of Catskill, N. Y., spent
several days on the campus during March, and
gave a great deal of help to the students inter-
ested in poetry. Announcement of the winner
of the Alumnae Poetry Prize will be made at
Commencement.

Another gift from the alumnae association to
the students was a check for twenty-five dollars
which the president of the alumnae presented
to Louise Bansley, president of the Day Students,
in chapel on March 22nd. This money is to be
used in helping to furnish the summer house,
which has been glassed in and given to the
day students to use temporarily until their cot-
tage materializes.

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

ALUMNAE CLUBS

The news from the local clubs does not come
in as promptly as it should, nor in detail. Again
let the editor assure the alumnae club secretaries
that the Quarterly is only too glad to make
room for all the news of meetings, plans, ac-
complishments, etc., that the clubs will send in
to the alumnae office.

The MARIETTA, GEORGIA, Club is well on
the way of its second year of work. Hazel
(Murphy) Elder is president. Marietta is within
an hour's ride of Agnes Scott by trolley, and the
club is planning a luncheon at the Anna Young
Alumnae House for one of their spring meetings.

Mary Coley Speir is the new president of the
CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA, Club.
Charlotte is one of the strongest clubs of them
all! One of their members Julia (Hagood)
Cuthbertson has been elected a vice president of
the Alumnae Association, and another of their
members Came (Burgess) Clarkson is presi-
dent of the Charlotte A. A. U. W.

MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE, is the newest club of
them all! The Memphis girls got together to
hear the radio program on February 22nd, and
after looking each other over decided that they
liked each other's looks so well that they would
form a permanent club, and meet monthly. These
are the Memphis alumnae:

Cecile Bowden (Mrs. J. T. Mayfield).

Nell Coats (Mrs. J. M. Pentecost).

Jane Curry.

Elizabeth Hart.

Sarah Hightower (Mrs. R. M. Barnes).

Mabel Hjland (Mrs. S. A. Cunningham).

Charlotte Jackson.

Concord Leake (Mrs. John A. Austin).

Margaret Leavitt (Mrs. H. G. Turner).

Annie Byrd Maxwell.

Margaret Rowe.

Elizabeth Shaeffer.

Margaret Smith (Mrs. J. E. Lyon).

Elvie Wilson (Mrs. J. H. Wiley).

Margaret Yeager.

If there should be any other alumnae in Mem-
phis or within a few miles of Memphis who
could attend the club meetings, they are asked to
get in touch with Margaret Rowe, 1401 Court
Ave.

The RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, Club held its
first meeting this year on October 11th. The
meeting took the form of a luncheon at Miller
and Rlioads. Those present were Bessie (Win-
ston) Williams, Louise Sanders, Poky Wight, Nan
Lingle, Mary Cunningham, Jean (Robson)
Rooney, and Nannie Campbell. The next meet-
ing was on November 8ih when the club met
for lunch at the Gralyn. "There were nine
Agnes Scotiers present and one guest, Elizabeth
Irwin, who was Fan McCaa's roommate last year.
We were very glad our meeting came during
Fan's visit to Richmond, and everybody enjoyed
seeing her. We read a letter from Polly Stone
and roared over the funny parts, shed a few
tears once in a while over some very touching

parts, and 'reminisced' about many things that
happened when we were on the campus. It was
one grand hour of 'sociabilities' and good times.
The chief interest was news and yet more news.
Those present were Fan McCaa, "Crip" Slack,
Eloise Knight, Emily Guille, Nan Lingle, Dorothy
Turner, Jean (Robson) Rooney, Flo-Wilma (Curt-
ner) Dobson, Nannie Campbell." The Richmond
club is a very live organization. A new member
is Margaret (McLean) McLaurin who has recently
married and moved to Richmond.

"The BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA, Club had a
lovely dinner-party at the Axis Club on Found-
er's Day with twenty-odd members present. Sally
Horton was toastmistress, and introduced the fol-
lowing speakers: Mary (Bryan) Winn, 'The His-
tory of Agnes Scott'; Dorothy (Bowron) Collins,
and Elizabeth (Ransom) Hahn, 'How the Girls
Celebrate Washington's Birthday at the College
Now' (Dot was George, and Lib was Martha
one year); Mrs. G. H. Waller (Florence McCor-
mick), "Agnes Scott of Twenty-Five Years Ago';
and Olivia Swann, 'Agnes Scott Today.' Miss
Hopkins' opening talk and the two musical num-
bers we heard thrilled us very much, but the
static was terrible, and we missed a good deal of
the program, much to our distress. We had many
extemporaneous speeches and a jolly evening, static
notwithstanding. Lucile (Little) Morgan was
here from Heflin visiting her sister-in-law, Bert
Morgan, and her presence added a lot to the oc-
casion. The memorable event of the year so far
for us was the visit Mr. Stukes paid us last fall.
There was a tea at Vallie Young (White) Archi-
bald's for him, and all of us who had not been
back to the college for some time did so enjoy
the news Mr. Stukes brought us. Then, too, our
own Nell Esslinger was there, and proved to us
that all the honors she won in the recent national
musical contest were deserved, and then some!
Her voice is really lovely, and Birmingham is
proud that she has located here. She is the Music
Study Club's prize exhibit."

The Agnes Scott alumnae in WASHINGTON,
D. C, are making preparations for a local alumnae
club there. We have 14 girls living in Washing-
ton. They are:

Louise Shipp Chick.

Eleanor Coleman (Mrs. Roland Burchard).

Thelma Cook (Mrs. H. Malon Turton).

Elizabeth Craig.

Mary Lucy Duncan (Mrs. George Howe).

Elizabeth Evans (Mrs. Ralph Graves).

Elizabeth Mabel Freley (Mrs. I. W. Ketchum).

Jessie Ham.

Charlotte Higgs.

Virginia McLaughlin.

Olivia Russell.

Josephine Telford.

Annie Judith Virgin (Mrs. A. V. Hall).

Willie Wellborn.

Any of these girls who have not already done
so are asked to get in touch with Louise Shipp
Chick at 306 C St., N. W. Any other alumnae
who may be in Washington, please call Louise,
too.

The ATLANTA, GEORGIA, Club has made
the first large purchase in connection with their
undertaking of refurnishing the Anna Young
Alumnae House living room. A large taupe che-
nille rug has been bought, paid for, and put
down in the living room. It is a beauty, and
gives us just a foretaste of what the entire room
will look like when the Atlanta club has finished
with it. The Atlanta club has a large member-
ship, and is growing steadily.

The DECATUR, GEORGIA, Club came to life
in January and has been showing so many signs
of growth that it bids fair to rival the Atlanta
club! The time of meeting has been changed
from the afternoon, to 6 o'clock in the evening,
when the club meets in the tea room of the
Alumnae House for supper. At the January meet-
ing there were over thirty present. The club is
putting on a program of one-act plays on March
26th in the new college gym-auditorium, the pro-
ceeds to be used in helping refurnish the Alumnae
House. The cast of the three plays, all of which
are farces, include: Miss Lucile Alexander, Miss
Margaret Phythian, Miss Llewellyn Wilburn, Mrs.
Frances (Gilliland) Stukes, Mr. Stukes, Miss Ruth
Pirkle, Miss Leone Bowers, Miss Dick Scandrett,
Mrs. Martha (Eakes) Matthews, Miss Daisy
Frances Smith, Miss Florinne Brown, Miss Ethel
Ware, Miss Polly Stone. And, oh, we sigh for
the old days when Emma (Jones) Smith and
Louise Ware were in Decatur! They were our
two stars, par excellence!

"In the spring a livelier iris "

Speaking of a lively iris!

Is it necessary to say that this number of the
Quarterly has a violently purple cover? Unless
you are blind you cannot fail to note the change
from drab brown. There may be some of you
who were struck blind by the shock as you
pulled your Quarterly from its usual demure
cream outside wrapper. Well, what do you think
of it? Comments are welcomed. Express your
delight, horror, or indifference in a letter to the
editor and she will see what can be done about
it before the next Quarterly comes out. But
mmd, she makes no promises! She's rather partial
to purple, herself.

lightful afternoons with an old Agnes Scott girl
Mrs. Ernest Moorer, who used to be Emily
Divver. We were at Agnes Scott together in 1893,
and had not seen each other for thirty-three
years until she came to see me this fall. How
we talked of auld lang syne ! She is living in
Greenwood, S. C, less than thirty miles from here.
Her son. Earnest, Jr., is a sophomore at the

of the sophomore class here at Presbyterian Col-
lege, where my husband is a professor."

A most interesting letter from Anniebelle Mon-
roe (Mrs. J. M. Douglas) to Nellie Louise Mande-
ville (Mrs. C. K. Henderson), says: "It has been
many years since we were at old Agnes Scott In-
stitute. I heard through one of the 'old girls'
that you were secretary of the class of '99. I
can scarcely lay claim to being ex '99, but as I
was there at the institute during the year '95 to
'96, I suppose I'm near kin to '99. Mary Wells
(Mrs. J. B. Kuykendall), whom you doubtless re-
member, visited me last year, and she will return
in May to see her son, James, graduate. Annie
Emery (Mrs. R. O. Flinn) has a son here now,
and Louise Inglis (Mrs. Love) and Bess Dickson
(Mrs. Taylor) have had sons here. My! but that
makes me feel old ! Our oldest son we lost. We
were married nearly four years before he arrived.
My next boy is twelve, and we have a daughter
nine years old. Dr. Douglas has the chair of
Physics here at Davidson. It is very difficult for

me to trace the sons of former school friends, un-
less I happen to know the maiden name of the
mother, or I should say the married names of all
the girls ! I should like, if you know of any sons
in College, for you to send me the names and it
will give us great pleasure to have the boys in
our home. Miss Vennie Holt's son, Joe Walker,
was here three years, was in our home constantly,
and just by chance one night I mentioned Agnes
Scott. Joe said, 'My Mother used to be a teacher
there.' So that brought forth questions and in
the crowd of boys around our supper table that
Sunday evening, I found three were sons of
Agnes Scott classmates. Since then. Dr. Douglas
teases me and says that I cross-question every
student who comes to call as to his parentage. I
was so glad to see a Phi Beta Kappa chapter
established at Agnes Scott. That will mean much
to the graduates. We had our initiation on Fri-
day night, followed by a lovely banquet. Please
let me know of any 'Agnes Scott sons' here
at Davidson."

Died: Lula J. Stebbins (Mrs. Stowe), Mcin-
tosh, Ga.

Died: Ha Inez Warwick (Mrs. W. E. Fitzpat-

1903 Class Secretary, Eileen Gober, Cherokee
St., Marietta, Ga.

Nan Bagby Stephens has been made national
chairman of the campaign to raise funds for the
McDowell Colony. In February she was one of
four judges at the Intercollegiate Glee Club con-

ville Music Club, and including the greater num-

February 26th the Agnes Scott Blackfriars pro-

In a letter dated December 18, Emily Winn tells
very vividly of her return to Chunju. On Oc-
tober 19th they first saw the shores of Korea.
"The rice plains were full of golden, ripe grain,
and the villages of straw-thatched mud houses
were bright with big patches of red peppers
spread out to dry on the roofs, and, as always,
the most vivid touch of color was the bright red,
green, blue, pink, and yellow of the children's
clothes. All along the way after we left Taiden,
people came down to the road to meet us and
welcome us home. There isn't a more beautiful
road anywhere than that from Riri to Chunju.
When we came to the road that leads to the
mission compound, all our Korean friends in
Chunju were on the road, and the school boys
were lined up in two long lines. During the first
week we were invited to every home in the station
to some meal, and it was certainly good to be
home with our Chunju folks again, to hear all
they have been doing during our absence and
to tell them about America. The happiest thing
that has happened since we got back is hearing
that our junior Bible school is to have a new
building the Adah Hamilton Clark Memorial,
given by her father, mother and sister." Emily
has been teaching for a month in the Teachers'
Institute, which graduated two teachers this year.

ture over this way. I heard the Founder's Day
program, however, over the radio at the home

and movies once a week for the employees.
There is a Harvard graduate and another Chi-

have much time to go to town (Brunswick),
and no people are allowed over here on the Island

{TJjis was sjing for the first time at the Trustees' luncheon to
the Alumnae on May 2Sth, 1927)

Scattered far and wide thy daughters,

Some across the sea,
Yet our hearts are bound forever

Agnes Scott, to thee!
With each May-time, some returning.

Others absent still,
All thy daughters, near or distant,

With devotion thrill.

Alma Mater, Fostering Mother,

Student days are o'er.
On thy quiet, well-loved campus

We can stay no more.
Though we wander far, dear mem'ries

Of our years here fill
Every heart, and we acclaim thee

Fostering Mother still!

The Agnes Scott Alua/tnae Quarterly 3

EDUCATION FOR LEISURE

(From the address delivered in the Agnes Scott Auditorium on Commencement Day,

May 31, 1927)

JOHN H. FINLEY

I begin with Browning's mill-girl in "Pippa Passes," who had only one holiday,
one day of leisure in all the year Pippa, who in her few hours passed beneath the
windows of the supposed "four happiest ones" in the town, to rebuke their intemper-
ate leisure, their vicious idleness, and their inconsiderateness of the unceasing labors of
others. You recall the prayer of her one holiday:

"Oh Day, if I squander a wavelet of thee,

A mite of my twelve-hours' treasure

The least of thy gazes or glances,

(Be they grants thou art bound to, or gifts above measure)

One of thy choices, or one of thy chances,

(Be they tasks God imposed thee, or freaks at thy pleasure)

My Day, if I squander such labor or leisure, . .

Then shame fall on asolo, mischief on me."

And such a prayer needs to be said more religiously than the personal efficiency
prayers that are prescribed for labor, for if there are no orisons in our pragmatic edu-
cational litany except "laborare est orare," there will be nothing to "leaven what were
all earth else with a feel of Heaven."

It is refreshing to catch the voice of Pippa in the midst of the vocational sounds
in shop and school, and even in college hall and pedagogical discussion. Everywhere,
there is wordy insistence that the school shall train for vocation to make it possible
for every boy and girl to do his part, her part, of the increasingly complex and more
highly specialized work of the world. But when it is appreciated that, because of the
specialization, the multiplication of processes and the consequent division of labor,
there can be no possessing joy of handiwork for millions upon millions of workers,
no possibility of individual development because of the unending repetition of one
simple process, there must come a realization of the importance of filling the time left,
especially after these hours of such narrow labor, with such employments of leisure as
will make it of little consequence in what specific trade or profession one earns one's
living.

Fortunate are they whose lot it is to get the means of livelihood by doing that
which they would elect to do if there were no compulsion to do. Happy are they
who find the means of intellectual, moral, and even physical development in the very
tasks by which they earn that which keeps the soul and body together.

The artisan, or the mechanic, or the day-laborer, on the other hand, must finish
his turning one lever a thousand times, or doing his infinitesimal part of making a
shoe or a locomotive before he can have any joy of his handiwork, any satisfaction of
his friends, any chance to see a painting, or read a book, or walk under the open
sky, or know the companionship of trees or of men who have lived in other days,
before he can give attention, as Arnold Bennett, who has no sentimental spirituality.

4 The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

put it, "to the evolution of his immortal soul." Pippa must give her "next twelve-
months' toil at wearisome silk-winding, coil on coil," before she can have another
twelve hours of freedom such as every young woman here has every day, twelve
hours of freedom to inquire into and enjoy the universe, with its miracles at every
turn, its infinite distances.

I have sympathy with every effort to help every man work out his salvation, to
evolve his immortal soul, as far as possible through his vocation, to make his business-
in-life contribute to the business of life, strongly as I deplore the tendency to make
vocation the basis for the estimate of human values, and for social classification.

So far as I know, I was the first to call attention, as I did in an address here several
years ago, to the fact that this vocational social classification is primitive, and that
according to the Scripture record Adam's descendants had not seen seven generations
on the face of the earth before they were divided into cattlemen, musicians, and
artisans. For in the fourth chapter of the book of Genesis it is written that Lamech
had three sons, Jabal, Jubal, and Tubal-cain, Jabal, the "father of such as dwell in
tents and have cattle;" Jubal, the "father of all such as handle the harp and pipe;
and Tubal-cain, an instructor of every artificer of brass and iron."

As I read this record again, I found that there was a sister, a vocationless sister,
the simple statement reads: "And the sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah." The noun
"Naamah," it is interesting to note, was a Hebrew word meaning "sweet." What a
significant record is this "social register" of the first scriptural inhabitants of the
world: the brothers were identified by their callings, their sister by her feminine
qualities!

We have need to hear under our windows Pippa singing her New Year's hymn:

"All service ranks alike to Him who sees all."

The only important thing that machinery really does for the world is to give us
spare time if we have sense enough to take it. William James has somewhere given
intimation that the quality of a man is best to be discerned through what he does
with his holidays. The use of leisure is as important a problem as that of efficiency
of labor. For leisure, as I would define it, is not cessation from activity; it is free
activity.

Civilization set everybody to work. And hardly "was that done when she began
to see how fatal to human development it was that everybody should work all the
time; and she began to restrict the hours of work, first for children. Leisure was
compelled for them, that they might have a chance to grow, and then to learn
the fundamental lessons of the race's experience. (The Greek word for "school"
meant originally "leisure.") Then civilization insisted upon leisure for women, and
finally for men. The labor day has been gradually shortened and the leisure day
commensurately lengthened. And now civilization is undertaking to teach the race
to play again, to play for the forgetting of work and for the preparing for work.
Or to translate this sociological generalization into the lines of Pippa's song:

"For, Day, my holiday, if thou ill-usest
Me, who am only Pippa, old-year's sorrow.
Cast off last night, will come again tomorrow;
Whereas, if thou prove gentle, I shall borrow.
Sufficient strength of thee for new-year's sorrow."

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly 5

It will be a far more difficult task of civilization to teach men and women to use
leisure rightly than to instruct them how to labor efficiently. I am thinking that
those trained in Universities and colleges have preeminently this high task, the more
diffcult of the two. They must not ignore or think superciliously or lightly of the
problem of vocation. But they are especially to exemplify and encourage in their own
living the best, noblest use of free time.

Dr. Johnson said that "the reason why a man drinks is that he is not interesting
enough to himself to pass his leisure time without it." If you make the subject
feminine and substitute another wasteful if not intemperate verb, you make like ex-
planation for the spiritual and intellectual improvidence of another large class; and
you will understand why so many look with disfavor upon shortening men's hours
or relieving women of domestic obligations.

And yet, despite all this abuse of leisure, despite the report that in some communi-
ties shortened hours of labor have resulted in lessened per hour efficiency, despite the
opinion expressed by one of the highest authorities on nervous diseases, that occupation
is essentially more healthful than recreation, vocation than vacation, I contend that
the facts call not for the lengthening of the occupational day, but for the higher,
fuller, better organized use of the leisure day.

For we all have, or should have, a triune day: a "work-day," in which we do our
share of the world's work; a "sleep-day" in which we must physically rest; and a
"leisure-day" a third day in which to cultivate our real selves, to approach our possi-
ble perfection. The real test of living is what we do with the third of these
days.

I heard Paderewski play once upon a time, in a barn of a place, and I went out
with two thoughts. First, the marvel of what a man or a woman can do, and second,
the disappointment that he or she does not do more. For most of us waste enough
leisure time to make ourselves musicians, artists, scholars, poets, able to minister in
our avocation to human happiness even beyond that which we can do in our voca-
tion.

From the summit of the wisdom of his years, and with a contemplative look across
the valleys, John Burroughs still says to us on this day:

"A better world I have never wanted. I could not begin to exhaust the knowl-
edge and the delights of this one. I have found in it deep beneath deep, worlds within
a world an endless series of beautiful and wonderful forms forever flowing out of it-
self. From the highest heavens of the telescope to the minutest organisms of the
microscope, all is beautiful and wonderful and passeth understanding."

With this glorious world of inexhaustible knowledge and delights above you, and
God in its heaven, you ought to go daily forth to the labors and especially the
leisures of your lives with the prayer of the mill-girl Pippa in your hearts:

"O Life, if I squander one wavelet of thee!"

A MESSAGE FROM THE ALUMNAE ASSOCIATION

PRESIDENT

We have come to the end not of a perfect year, but of a good year. Perfection
would leave nothing for us to strive for: we have much for which to strive. We
want to grow, not only in numbers but also in loyalty to and interest in our Alma
Mater. The purpose of the Alumnae Association is to maintain the loyalty and
interest in the Alma Mater which most of us have as students. As we go afar and
have so many other interests, we lose touch and thus lose the interest which was so
intense when we left her "sheltering arms."

As members of the Alumnae Association we receive four Quarterlies which tell
us of all the important happenings around the college and give us news of ouf
classmates and friends. We learn the names of those who are doing things on the
campus things that we used to do and things that are new each year. Thus when
we come back we are not strangers; we know what has happened in our absence.
We are known by name to the Alumnae Secretary who has written us personal let-
ters as well as sent us bulletins and Quarterlies, and last, but not always least,
"dues slips."

Ar the May meeting of the Alumnae Association it was voted to raise the dues to
two dollars per year. There was not even any discussion about it when it was
recommended by the chairman of the Finance Committee; no one present questioned
the need or advisability of the raise. When you get your "dues slip" in October, re-
member what the Association means to you, and send your two dollars as promptly
and as loyally as you can and when you send the check be sure to write a letter.
Tell us all about yourself, your family, your work, and what your interests are. Be
sure to tell us what you like in the Quarterly and what is not there that you should
like to have included in the next issue. Then when you have written that letter,
begin at once making your plans to come "home" next commencement in time for
the Trustee Luncheon, even though it is not your reunion year. There will be many
old friends there that you will be glad to see and it will be a real inspiration to see
the Senior class and to welcome them into the Alumnae Association. They want to
know you and it helps them to appreciate the "worthwhileness" of the Association
when they see how many old girls come back each year.

If you will do all this, next year will be the very best year that we have ever
had not only in numbers but also in loyalty and close fellowship with our Alma
Mater.

WHAT HAPPENED TO US IN CHINA

During all of the trouble in China, many of us have felt the keenest interest and
concern for the safety of our Agnes Scott girls out there. So far as we know, they
are all quite safe now, and several of them have had rather interesting, if harrowing,
experiences.

Mrs. H. R. Steele, mother-in-law of EHzabeth (Dickson) Steele, ex '23, writes:
"The situation is, as you know, very serious. Elizabeth and her husband made a
hurried exit from Changchow, taking their trunks, bedding, clothing, their flat silver,
and only such things as they could put in the trunks with the articles mentioned.
All of their household goods, including William's books, were of necessity left behind.
Their greatest loss is William's library, about eight hundred volumes. He had a
very good library for a young minister, having gotten valuable books when he was
in Scotland, and having taken my best books when he went to his work in China.
They say that the Chinese in their poverty, use the books for a slow fire in cooking
their rice, so that very few of them will be saved should they ever go back to Chang-
chow.

"They went out one night to a service, and when they returned, the house was
a blaze of light and occupied by soldiers. Later in the night the soldiers were ordered
out, and they spent the remaining hours of the night in their own roorns. When the
Cantonese came into Shanghai and they were warned not to go out of the house,
they found it necessary to go to a nearby store to get milk for the baby; it was
with difficulty that they made their way through the streets, and when they got
to the store it was closed. A Chinese servant went in the back door and got the milk
for Dr. Paty's three children and for our baby.

"They are in Kobe, Japan, now, and will be there until something develops as far
as the work is concerned. No one can tell when it will be possible or practicable to
go back to China. Their address is in care of Sterling Fisher, Kwansei Gakuin, Kobe,
Japan. They have had a very serious time, but they have had fine courage."

Elizabeth Dickson was married December 1, 1923, to Mr. Steele, and they left
at once for China. After a year in Soochow University, they were given the city
of Changchow as their mission field. They have a little daughter, Marianne Moore
Steele, eighteen months old. Elizabeth writes that, although much of their furniture
was broken up by the Chinese armies, the loyal citizens of Changchow have saved
much, and their belongings are scattered out in the homes of their Chinese friends.
Their servants have been true to them, and are living in their home protecting it.

Frances (Glasgow) Patterson, '19, has been in China four years. Her father
writes: "After spending one year in the language school in Peking, they went to
Sutsien, where they have since labored. Latterly, things are quiet at Sutsien, but
some time back the city was bombarded, necessitating Frances and her baby's spend-
ing twenty-four hours in the cellar for safety, surrounded by about one hundred
Chinese women and girls there with her, seeking her protection. An explosion struck
within ten feet of the house and shattered all the glass in the windows of the house
over their heads. All this in the absence of her husband. They were ordered out
of the city by the American Ambassador, reaching the coast safely after a trying
trip, and from there to Kobe, Japan, where they are now, safe and well."

"Mr. Patterson, Frances' husband, has accepted for a year the position of secre-
tary of the Y. M. C. A. at Washington and Lee University, so they will be in Lex-
ington, Va., with Dr. Glasgow, Frances' father, next year, reaching there July 27th.

Frances Charlotte Markley, '21, reached Shanghai in the early fall of last year, Just
in time to see a little of peaceful China, and then be plunged so deeply into the uproar
that the school where she was teaching St. Mary's was forced to close. She worked
on in the boys' school across the railroad tracks, still taking her meals in St Mary's
dining hall. One day, after the army of northern China had been retreating rapidly
all morning on foot up the railroad track, Frances Charlotte started over to St. Mary's
to her dinner to find that it was apparently impossible to get across. A steady stream

8 The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

of soldiers was marching up the tracks. A bystander informed her that she could not
cross before nightfall, at least, as there were thousands and thousands more still
to pass, and the pursuing army was immediately behind them. For a few minutes
Frances Charlotte stood there and watched the soldiers file by, but at last, hunger
got the best of her. Going up to one of the officers, she said in her best Chinese,
and at the top of her lungs, "I want my dinner, and I eat over there." Her manner
was evidently convincing, for the officer stepped immediately forward, held up his
hand, and the army of northern China halted to let Frances Charlotte cross to
her dinner.

The culmination of a romance begun on the Princeton University campus last
year was Frances Charlotte's marriage on April 21st in Shanghai to Mr. Donald
Roberts, professor of history at St. John's University, Shanghai.

Margaret Bell (Dunnington) Sloan, '02, who has been in Peking a number of
years, writes: "Please change my address to 3290 Bradford Road, Cleveland, Ohio.
It must be very thrilling to be in China now, but it isn't fair for me to pose as
fleeing before riotous hordes when what I am really doing is living with a husband
and three children on a quiet street in the 'hoop-skirts' of Cleveland. My days are
passed in prosaic peeling, humdrum Hoovering, stoic scouring, and about a million
other things for which I can find no alluring alliteratives. I have been married about
twelve years, and my jewels are Margaret, ten and a half, just finishing fifth grade;
Dwight, Jr., six and a half, just finishing first grade, and Ruth, three and a half, just
about to finish me." Bell lives in a lovely old brick house, where the latchstring is
always out to Agnes Scott people.

Mary White Caldwell, ex '23, who is a graduate nurse, now in China, will sail
for this country some time during the summer. Letters addressed to her in care of
her brother, Edward N. Caldwell, 5 30 E. Park Ave., Tallahassee, Fla., will be for-
warded.

Anna Murcock (Sykes) Bryars, '16, who is stationed in Shanghai, writes that of
much more importance in her life than the Chinese revolution is the birth of her
first little daughter, Jean Elizabeth, on March 2nd.

Any alumnae who have recent letters from Margaret Winslett, '20, or our other
alumnae in China, are asked to send any interesting items about them to the alumnae
office for the next Quarterly.

ATTENDANCE CUP AWARD FOR 1927

The coveted loving cup which is awarded at each commencement to the class which has the largest
percentage back for reunion was won this year by the class of '2 6. Out of a class enrollment of
seventy-five, thirty-six members returned for reunion. These thirty-six came from Georgia, Florida,
Alabama, North and South Carolina, Texas, West Virginia, the District of Columbia, and Canada!
Two of the thirty-nine absent members were kept away by too imminent sailing dates for Korea and
Europe respectively; thirty of the thirty-nine were outside the state of Georgia, and by far the ma-
jority of the absent ones were kept away because the schools in which they are teaching had not
yet closed. It was a splendid showing for a first year reunion, and the other classes, although they
hated to lose the cup themselves, warmly congratulated '26, and cheered vociferously when '26's
percentage of forty-eight was announced and the cup, brimming with grape-juice, and containing
thirty-six straws, one for each member present, was presented to Sarah Smith, '2 6, class president.

Three classes ran '26 a very close race, and since these classes had been out of college a longer
time and found it much harder to get back, they deserve most honorable mention. '13 was back 43.8
per cent, '17 had 42. J per cent and '02 had 40 per cent. Figures for all of the reunion classes follow:

ALUMNAE EXPERIENCES IN THE MISSISSIPPI FLOOD

(Editor's note: Among the alumnae whose homes were submerged in the waters
of the great river are Harriett Fearrington, ex '26, of Pine Bluff, Ark., and Roberta
Winter, '27, Leland, Miss. Mary Wood Colley, ex '24, was teaching in Hickman,
Ky., when the Mississippi levees began to give way. In a recent letter she tells in a
most interesting manner her experiences during that time.)

Our flood is so old now, of course, as to become a legend! But the fact that we
were about to be washed off the map, literally speaking, put us on the map in a
more figurative sense.

If you have ever read Mark Twain's "Life on the Mississippi," you came across a
description of Hickman as "a pretty little town perched on a handsome hill." Mr.
Clemens hints also at the fact that the glory of Hickman belongs to the past to
a dim and glamorous past when the river was alive with steamboats and packets, and
gay with showboats. Then it was the central trading point for miles around, and
the old Kentucky colonels that we read so much about would send huge shipments of
cotton and tobacco, and would themselves dash over to Hickman on their spirited
thoroughbreds to see that it was well-done. After the railroads were built, of
course a great change came about, but something of the old atmosphere still re-
mains. The fact that they built the business part of the town on the very shores of
the river was due to the shipping. Then, in a more prudent mood, they built the
residential section on the tiers of hills that rise, like huge stairsteps, above the valley.
From the river, the town is remarkably picturesque and quite like Stockholm.

When the big rise in the river hit Hickjnan, it was not long until it was turned
into a modern Venice. Business went merrily on for a while. We would go in the
drugstore and calmly eat ice cream on scaffolds built up to the very counter, the clerks
waiting on us in hip-boots. Then we would walk the plank, as it were, when we
got ready to cross the street a narrow and perilous plank, below which swirled the
dark and treacherous water.

Still the levee that protects West Hickman had not broken, although the water
was seeping through alarmingly, and there seemed no earthly hope for it. The people
behind the levee were working frantically to strengthen the little barrier between them
and the angry water.

One day a high wind rose and swept the waves on the river against the levee like
surf beating on the shore. The river, as viewed from the hill, looked like an angry
sea seemed a monster that up until now had been crouching, biding its time watch-
fully, ready at any time to spring, and now it rushed on the levee with full force.
Lightning struck one of the stores in town, and sent it crashing down into the river.
The water swept away the little scaffoldings that had been built in the street, and be-
came an uncontrollable torrent in the streets, four and five feet deep.

But, miraculously, the levee held, and it was the Missouri levee break that saved
us, with a disastrous result for Missouri. As the break was at Dorena, right across
from Hickman, the work of rescue fell to the lot of Hickman. The rescue workers
told wild tales of the things they found a family that spent the night on a piano; one
man on a housetop, with the water about him so swift that it was impossible to
reach him; snakes that dropped down in the boats from the trees; one woman who
wouldn't leave until she had collected and counted all her chickens that had flown
up into the trees; and the poor colored folks who were inconsolable because the rescu-
ers could not take their "houn dawgs."

The refugees kept pouring into Hickman, until it was not long until we had
turned our library into a base of clothing supplies. I never shall forget the night that
we went over to our auditorium to practice for the commencement play and found
waiting for us over a hundred refugees from New Madrid. They had stood up all
night the night before in the boat that brought them over to safety. I shall never

10 The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

forget the dazed terror in their eyes, and their fear that even on the hill, they were
not wholly safe from the water.

There were two little boys about nine years old whose mothers were dead and
whose fathers had put them on the boat, and stayed to protect their property. One
of them, Billy, a game little fellow with great dark eyes and curly hair that seemed to
be on end as if still from fright, came up to me and whispered, "say, lady, is it safe
to sleep here tonight?" After I had assured him that it was, and given him some-
thing to eat, I asked him what else he wanted. "Just to go to sleep and say, lady, I
sure wisht I had a story book to read tomorrow." So the two poor little waifs slept,
closely huddled together on some straw and blankets on the floor, and the next morn-
ing I brought Bill "Robinson Crusoe" (not without a sudden humorous idea of its
fitness) , only to find that my little Robinson Crusoe had gone with his man Friday on
to the refugee camp a little way out of town.

We never did close school, but we taught under severe handicaps, often filling
the building at night with beds of straw and blankets for the refugees that kept
pouring in. Some of the other teachers and I went over to the camp, where there
were over two thousand, and had story and playground hour with the children. We
had a drive for toys in Hickman, and felt like Santa Claus himself when we arrived
positively laden with things for the children, until we were suddenly besieged by a
band of wild Comanches, who all but mobbed us, snatched the toys without a word
of thanks, and then rushed off over our prostrate bodies. I am sure the jocular
Saint was never subjected to such treatment.

I saw Billy again, and his fat little face beamed when he told me he got the book

1 sent, and that it was "great stuff." Strange enough, instead of toys, he wanted a
pencil and notebook. (Maybe one of his friends was besieging him for letters from
a "flood-sufferer"!)

I can not honestly call myself a "flood-sufferer," for as you see, I never did suffer,
and was in no actual danger. I merely watched from a vantage point of utter safety
on a high hill the sullen waters creep up on those less fortunate. But it was an ex-
perience I shall not soon forget, and one I hope never to repeat.

Roberta Winter, '27, from Leland, Miss., writes: "The water has been six feet
deep in our house and yard, but most of that has gone down. Within the last few
days, however, it has risen two or three inches every day, so by the end of the week
we may be submerged again! This is the annual June rise; the crest is due about the

2 5 th of June. The break in the levee is about fifteen miles north of Greenville,
which is ten miles due west of us; the river makes a westward bend at this break and
the water running through the break is taking a more direct course and has a swifter
current than the main stream. It would certainly be queer to find Greenville on an
island in the middle of the Mississippi when things get straightened out.

"On the way home from Agnes Scott, we had to come on a funny little train that
just crawled all the way, apparently through an ocean with some trees sticking out
and houses half submerged or turned over on their sides, or washed away from their
chimneys. The sixteen-foot concrete road is a wreck in places, where the current
has washed under it and huge pieces have been washed over into the field. Every-
where were men, women and children white and black fishing; the largest catch
was crawfish you can't imagine how they swarm.

"The town is overrun with refugees; the tents look like the encamped Philistines.
Right outside of town there is a camp for animals! Leland is a high point. We
can't get out in the car in any direction, and the train runs only north, so we are
here for a nice long stay. Boats run between here and Greenville, and we see an oc-
casional airplane. The water is a foot deep in front of our house, and cars insist on
driving through for the thrill.

"Of course our house is a wreck. Not a door will shut and not a drawer will
open. We are very thankful to have an upstairs to live in until something can be
done about the floors, walls, etc. Mother weeps whenever she looks out on her erst-

while rose garden. Our whole family came through to safety, but we had adven-
tures. We rescued our old yardman from a chair on top of liis bed, our cow swam
down the alley to safety on the railroad track with the Red Cross; and our bird
dog was picked up two weeks later off a bale of cotton way outside town! But so
many animals were drowned. Negroes drove in herds of all kinds of animals all morn-
ing before the protection levee broke, trying to get them to safety. Nobody dreamed
that our levee wouldn't hold, or if it broke that the water would be so deep. So all
the women in town went into a frenzy trying to get all the furniture they owned
upstairs or on scaffoldings in half an hour that's how quickly the water rose. Pianos
were the worst, of course. A lot of furniture stood in water till it literally fell to
pieces. A friend of mother's arrived from the country just before the disaster with
two children and a hundred and sixteen young chickens in her car! The latter were
put on top of the coal-house as the only available place, and proceeded to fly off into
the water every second. If a boat was tied to the stairway (our pier Everybody in
town owned at least one boat by that time) , somebody would row out and try
to rescue the chickens. And the moos of drowning cows, calves on doorsteps, and
mules' heads suddenly appearing in windows!

"The little coast-guards from Gulfport came up to the rescue, and were just
as nice as they could be. They came around to every house and rowed the refugees
to the railroad to catch the boat north, and after many changes of boat and skiff
would settle them on a train about thirty miles north of here where they plied them
with large hunkey cheese sandwiches, hot coffee and fresh water most acceptable!

"The negroes who were rescued are having a great time. It was about a week
before they were all classified and listed, and at the end of that time the authorities
found one refugee who with his wife and four children had come down from Khe
perfectly dry hills to enjoy the excitement and was peacefully taking a vacation at
the expense of the Red Cross!

"You have never listened to anything like the frogs we are surrounded by! And
crickets and mosquitoes by the million! Being a 'flood-sufferer' is certainly a great
experience!"

AN EXCERPT FROM THE DIARY OF AGNES SCOTT
PEPYS DURING THE LAST FEW DAYS OF MAY, 1927

May 27. Did come to Agnes Scott commencement as I had planned since five
years, I being a graduate of that College and it being the year for my class reunion.
Did arrive at the front door of the Anna Young Alumnae House at five in the after-
noon, and finding the house deserted, walked through to the back door, where what a
sight did greet my eyes, and explained the emptiness of the house within! It being
the afternoon for the alumnae Baby Show, which had slipped my mind, all the lawn
was well-nigh covered with small babies and children, freshly starched and curled all,
mothers and nurses sitting on chairs gossiping or exerting themselves to keep their
babies from peril of too much vanilla ice cream, falling over backwards in chairs,
being knocked down by other children, or breaking the young limbs of themselves
and the poplar trees by swinging on thein. Harriet (Scott) Bowen's offspring, Grat,
Jr., was causing the campus pigeons much terror by chasing them over the lawn and
as far up in the air as his four-year old arms would reach, and Sam Guy, Jr. (child of
Allie (Candler) Guy, '13), insisted on trying to push a heavy lawnmower across the
grass and thus cut all the grass and both his legs off at the same time. Sarah Slaugh-
ter, '26, and Margaret Tufts, '26, had the affair in charge, and might easily have been
well-nigh distracted with their many duties, but greeted me warmly. Was in time
to see the prizes awarded to Anne Wallis McConnell (daughter of Marianne (Strauss)
McConnell, '25), whose curls were irresistable, to Frank McNulty, and noted well
how proud Louise McNulty, '14, who is the boy's aunt, seemed. And well she
might be. Betty Pope Scott (daughter of Annie Pope (Bryan) Scott, '15) won a
prize, and Joy Rutland (daughter of Jane (Harwell) Rutland, '17), in organdie dress

12 The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

and bonnet, was considered by all present the prettiest baby, and a choice hard to
make among so many.

Learned that the executive committee and council of the Alumnae Association
had met on Wednesday, and the Trustees on Friday morning, at all meetings various
businesses were discussed and done.

To dinner in the dining room of Rebecca Scott Hall. Bertha Adams, '14, had
come from Pine Apple, Ala., and Mildred (Hall) Pearce, '17, from Greenwood, Miss.
After dinner to visit the new gym. Saw the swimming pool which indeed is large
and very pretty. While in the building, I to the Tabard Inn Book Shop, a cosy place
kept by Hoasc. I did there look upon and buy some books. Spent the evening taking
the ayre about the campus, meeting old friends with great pleasure. Sarah Till, '22,
from Fayette, Miss.; Helen Lane Comfort, '24, and Lil (McAlpine) Butner, '24, a
new bride, who did drive down from Winston-Salem, N. C, and so many more whose
names I cannot call for the number of them. Helped move two more cots in 192 1's
room in the Alumnae House where Georgiana (White) Miller, '17; Gjertrud Amund-
sen, '17; Regina Pinkston, '17, and Vallie Young (White) Archibald, '17, were all
staying together, with no room to step scarcely, but much companionship and pleas-
ure. Allie Louise Travis, ex '22, and Nellie Richardson, '26, on cots in the sewing
room. We all did talk mightily. And so till twelve at night, when Mary (Kelly)
Coleman, '15, and Henrietta (Lambdin) Turner, '15, came in from a playhouse in
the city. All lights off and doors locked in Sturgiss Cottage where they were to stay,
and a time we had getting in and up the unfamiliar stairs as quietly as possible and
without getting shot for burglars by some alumna blunderbuss. Talked over old
times a while, and mighty merry we were, and then to bed.

May 28. Up betimes for a swim in the new pool. Annual meeting of Alumnae
Association at 12 noon in the chapel. Among other matters of reports and such
like, it was voted on by all present to raise annual dues from $1.50 to $2.00 a step
long expected by me and many, since most of the colleges have dues $2.00 and over,
and none so small as $1.5 0. At 1:30 P. M. all of us into Rebecca Scott dining room,
to an exceedingly excellent luncheon given by the trustees. Over three hundred
and twenty-five alumnae being present, there was much talk and greeting old friends.
Word is brought me that one hundred and eleven members of reunion classes are
back, and I hasten to join my own classmates and we heartily talk. A good lunch as
ever I ate, with spring flowers decking all the table-tops, and what with songs and
speeches and one thing and another and most pleasant company and talk, the time
passed merrily. Mr. Orr, chairman of the board of trustees, did act as toastmaster,
and being exceedingly witty as ever I heard a man, did ramble on most pleasantly.
Dr. McCain did welcome us, as did Mrs. Allie (Candler) Guy, to whom Elizabeth
Norfleet, president of the class of '27, responded. Great talk went about of the
good record made by the class of '27 in that every one of them and there be one
hundred and three had pledged to join the Alumnae Association. Mrs. Annie Pope
(Bryan) Scott called on the reunion classes to rise, which they did most gladly, push-
ing back chairs and making a great racket as well as show. Mrs. Mary (Barnett)
Martin, '93, the first graduate of the College, was called on also, and the champion
long distance reuner Mrs. Annie (Wiley) Preston, ex '97, from Korea. Polly Stone,
who for two years has been Alumnae secretary, rose to read of some alumnae who are
certainly engaged, and some who have already taken the leap into the dark and are
but recently married. Besides the Alma Mater, the company sang also new words
called "Alumnae Song." The tune I have often heard, yet it is one of the best for a
college song, and withal I am well pleased. It appears to me a very good song alto-
gether. Sat late at luncheon, but at last to the campus where the rain having stopped
we enter the movies and really take part in a two hundred and fifty foot reel of pic-
tures made of Agnes Scott commencement. Was much excited.

The afternoon over, bethought myself to go to the tea-house for dinner. Comes
my old acquaintance and classmate, and dines with me and we are right merry over a

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly 13

good dinner. After dinner we walk to the Bucher Scott auditorium and there see a
play, "As You Like It," which, though I saw it lately, yet appears a most excellent
play in all respects, it being most proper here and suitable. There is more wit in it
than goes to ten new plays. It was well enough done and took very much.

And thence home to my cot in the Alumnae House sewing room, which although
not quite as comfortable as my good bed at home of which I think fondly, sleeps
very well after an exciting day of parties, plays, and other pleasures.

May 29 (Lord's Day). Lay late, and when finally arose and dressed in my best,
found congenial company in the tea room over breakfast. For a short walk around the
campus which is most green and beautiful at this season, and then I spy the
academic procession. They formed on Inman verandah and thence towards the Bucher
Scott auditorium and go in very orderly. I after them, and there was a good sermon
and much company. I was exceedingly taken with the sermon by Dr. Frank Mor-
gan, and I believe the whole chapel, he being but young, but his manner of his delivery
I do like exceedingly. His text was on the manner of trusting in God and not in our
own riches.

To dinner in Rebecca Scott dining room at one of the alumnae tables with pleasant
conversation. After dinner, sipped coffee in the lobby and conversed with alumnae,
seniors, and their parents. Miss Hopkins, the dean, did act as hostess. A ride around
Atlanta with an alumna who brought her car, back to supper, and then senior vespers,
which is most sweet, and sad also, it being the last service of the year, and many
eyes wet over the last sweet benediction which the students sing. Passed the evening
visiting old friends among the faculty, who were most kind in remembering my
maiden name, if not my married one, and in listening politely to my bragging tales
of husband and children, which now that I think it over could not possibly have in-
terested them. Ah, well.

May 30. Up and assist in making crepe paper monkey caps as favors for the
reunion luncheons, made up in the class colors. A swim before the luncheon, which
is at 12:3 0, in the tea-house. The long tables are gay, and so are we, the luncheon
excellent, and we transact class business as well as enjoy ourselves. Luncheon over,
to the lawn to take kodak pictures for the class scrapbooks. Thence to the new
amphitheatre beyond the athletic field where class day exercises are being held. How-
many seniors in somber cap and gown, and an equal number of sophomores in spot-
less white, bearing a daisy chair that did win the admiration of all spectators! Mildred
McCain, mascot for '27, did create excitement immediately by falling out of her
chair frontward and the chair on top of her. No casualties. The will, prophecy, and
poem are read, and a song most dear to us all was sung. It begins
"Mid the cotton fields of Georgia,
Where the flowers bloom fair and sweet "

Monday evening to the college glee club concert. I confess I was well enough
pleased with hearing it sweet music and sweet singers. All went exceedingly well.
Afterwards to the book-burning in front of Main where a bonfire was already lighted.
The seniors and their chosen juniors slipped off for their last ceremony together, but
as for me who am an old alumna home and to bed.

May 31. Rose betimes and had breakfast in the Tea House as did the world and
his wife. A large crowd indeed, but excellent strawberries, waffles, and other dishes,
and as always, pleasant company. At ten o'clock to the final gradaution exercises.
Dr. John H. Finley, associate editor of the New York Times, did speak, and most
excellently too, on "Education for Leisure."

So impressed was he with the ceremony where Dean Hopkins puts on each senior
her hood, that he knelt before Miss Hopkins, and asked her to put his on in the
same manner.

This ends the week-end, and the college year 1927, and as pleasant a reunion as
ever was had. And so home, until next reunion, when I shall betake me as fast as
ever I can to my dear Agnes Scott again.

THE GAY NINETIES

If the class of 1893, the first class to be grad-
uated from Agnes Scott, had been scheduled for a
reunion this year, they would have won the at-
tendance cup offered to the reunion class having
the largest number of class members back, for
they had 50'( returning membership. There are
only two members of the class, and one of them
Mary Josephine Barnctt (Mrs. A. V. Martin)
was among the alumnae attending the trustees'
luncheon on Saturday, May 28th. Mrs. Martin,
her husband, who is a professor at Presbyterian
College, Clinton, S. C, and their two boys.

motored down to Decatur for the commencement
week-end.

The class of '94 has only one member Mary
Mel Neel (Mrs. W. J. Kendrick). She had plan-
ned to come out from Fort McPherson where
her husband. Colonel Kendrick, was stationed, and
win the cup for her "class" by a one hundred per
cent attendance! But commencement this year
has been a very sad time for Mrs. Kendrick.
Only a few days before the festivities were to be-
gin. Colonel Kendrick died at the Walter Reed
Hospital in Washington, after a prolonged ill-
ness. Her old college friends extend their most
heartfelt sympathy to Mrs. Kendrick.

Sarah Allen Watlington (Mrs. Stephen T. Bar-
netl) represented the class of '9 5 at the Trus-
tees' Luncheon. '96, a class of five members,
was without a single representative.

'97 had a 3 3..' per cent attendance. There were
only three members of the class, and I.illie Wade

Little (now Mrs. T. E. Ryals) of Macon, Ga.,
came up for Monday and Tuesday of commence-
ment to revisit the college and spend those days
with her old friend Annie (Wiley) Preston, ex
'97, who was here from Korea for the summer.

There is no living member of the class of
'98.

Although it was not their reunion year, '99 had
two loyal class members on hand for commence-
ment, Lucile Alexander, and Emma Wesley. This
class makes the boast of having these two mem-
bers selected as among the eighteen outstanding
alumnae whose pictures appear in this year's
"Sillmuctte."

'02

Out of a class of five girls who were grad-
uated in '02, two returned for commencement
this year. They are Annie Kirk Dowdell (Mrs.
W. A. Turner, Jr.) of Newnan, Ga., and Laura
Boardman Caldwell (Mrs. A. S. Edmonds) of
Portland, Ore. Mrs. Edmonds was on the way
to attend her son's graduation at Harvard Uni-
versity.

'12

When the year rolled 'round for our fifteenth
reunion they all with one accord began to make
excuses, and such good ones that no one could
doubt but that for babies and schools and other
acquirements of the fifteen years they would have
been at A. S. C. twelve strong. Marie (Macln-
tyre) Scott, Cornelia Cooper, Carol (Stearns)
Wey, Fannie G. (Mayson) Donaldson and Julia
Pratt (Smith) Slack, ex '12, were all at the
Trustees' Luncheon, and three of us gathered to-
gether at the Alumnae House on Monday to have
our reunion luncheon, which if we lacked a little
in numbers compared to some classes, was just as
jolly an occasion. We had some letters to read,
one from Janette (Newton) Hart, one from
Susette (Joerg) Flournoy, from Antoinette (Black-
burn) Rust, Annie Chapin McLain, Ruth (Slack)
Smith, studying at Columbia, and many were
the tales we told and listened to of days of yore
and folks of yore. When the Alumnae tea room
had justified its existence once again and the last
bit of the delicious luncheon was gone, the class of
19 12 was beginning wonderful plans for a 100
per cent reunion next time.

That Dix System! Is it a good one? Just
ask 1913! It was one of those classes whose re-
union was hurried up a year, and in spite of that
fact, and because of that fact, we had a Jim-
dandy time. To such a great extent that we
planned before we disbanded to celebrate our
regular old-schedule reunion next year. (This
will be the reunion that Lavalette, in her plan-
ning, referred to as the one to be held "before
the infirmaties of age creep upon us." We all
thought her spelling so much better than her
Trig!) Then we'll get absolutely everybody to-
gether and have no doubt about claiming that
cup which we had our hands on this year with a

forty-four per cent attendance until a few extra
members of '2 6, who were loafing around At-
lanta sneaked out to the luncheon and ran up a
percentage of forty-eight for their class. Any-
way, 1913 ran a close second, and showed the
world that there's life in the old girls yet. And
in 1940 we're going to be right on hand to see
whether '26 can do as well as '13 did at their age.
Everybody missed the ones who couldn't come
Florence Smith, who is so far away in California,
but who is going to fly right over to the next re-
union and land on the Athletic Field. Who doesn't
remember Florence's athletics! Kate Clark hiked
off to Europe. And Frances Dukes Wynne and
L^ura Mel Towers Yager had to make very ill-
timed moves from Florida to North Carolina,
while Grace Anderson Bowers made the mis-
take of paying such a long visit to Decatur just
before she heard about the Dix System that she
couldn't come back. Helen Smith Taylor found
home couldn't do without her at the right time,
while Lavalette Tucker's young sister-in-law
chose Commencement time, of all times, to be
married. We almost made her postpone the wed-
ding a year, but couldn't really be quite so cruel.
As for Eleanor whether it can be done or not.

we're going to sue the government. Here she was,
right with us out at Fort McPherson, making re-
union plans, when Uncle Sam gave "Chas." some
orders which took them away on the very Fri-
day of Commencement week-end. Of course
everyone would have had a better time if all
these girls had been with us, but Allic, Louise,
Tillie, Mary, Janie, Olivia and Emma Pope tried
to do things up in style for them.

The.- Friday that Eleanor had to leave Mary
Enzor Bynum and Lily Joiner Williams arrived
to visit Louise Maness Robarts Mary in her
Nash car and Lily via train, after, as she vowed,
having left all three of her children in an orphan-
age for safe-keeping when her trained nurse failed
her at the last moment. She declared such was
one of her minister husband's privileges, but we
all saw pictures, after a little questioning, of a
husband suddenly deprived of all privileges and
conductmg a young institution at home. Satur-
day, just in time for the big luncheon, Janie Mc-
Gaughey arrived from Staunton, Va. Then we
had to learn to pronounce her name "McGoy" as
the people up there do, but we gave Janie a lec-
ture for not changing her name in the approved
fashion. Sunday was such a day except bigger
as we can all remember, and Monday was Reunion
Day. This was when our true style showed, for
we had our luncheon in the one and only private
dining room at the Alumnae House, and we had
among our members the president of the Alumnae
Association and Dr. Sweet and Miss McKinney as
our guests. Other classes have claimed our
honorary members since 1913, of course, but
we beat 'em all to it with our invitations. When
Allie arrived that day she brought the finishing
touch for our party lots of delicious sugared pe-
cans for everybody, with special packages for the
visiting class members from "Mamma Dearie,"
of course.

Well, the luncheon was next. We re-elected
Allie our class president, read the class letters,
talked about everybody, partook of delicious food,
and then engaged in the delicious pastime of re-
minding Miss McKinney how we used to run from
her before we learned better, of how she doesn t
frighten us one bit now, and Allie recalled one
terrible experience when she misquoted Shakespeare.
After lunch we all had pictures made just plain
(?), still-life, ones this time, as we all appeared
in the movies on Saturday. Of course, we all
went to the regular college affairs that followed,
but commencement afternoon Allie had a theatre
party and Mary had another that night. Wed-
nesday the crowd gathered at Emma Pope's for
lunch, and had the fun of having Julia Pratt Slack
and her three-year old daughter join them. That
night found the visitors having to leave, but Allie
has promised to figure on that Dix System so we'll
soon beat those "infirmaties of age" to a regular
reunion every year.

What joy it was to feel that once more the class
of "14 was back at Agnes Scott! Such a cordial
welcome was extended us that we could scarcely
realize that thirteen years had slipped by since we
held the center of the stage.

We are proud to say that we won a prize even
if it was not the loving cup for the best at-
tendance. Louise McNulty's little nephew gave
us that distinction at the baby show.

The luncheon Saturday was wonderful. It was
arranged so that the members of the different
classes sat together. There were present that
day, Louise McNulty, Essie (Roberts) DuPre,
Linda (Miller) Summer, Mildred (Holmes) Dick-
ert, and Bertha Adams. We were delighted to

have also Ruth (McElmurray) Cothran, and
Robina Gallacher, two of 'I4's ex-members.

On Monday, Martha (Rogers) Noble joined us
at our class luncheon. How much we had to
talk over! We were so glad, to read the class let-
ters from our absent members. Mildred (Holmes)
Dickert lives in Nashville now. She had her nine-
year old son with her. He could not see much
charm, however, in a girl's school, so preferred
his friends in Decatur to us. Martha (Rogers)
Noble has just returned from a winter in New
York, so she had many interesting experiences to
tell us. Linda (Miller) Summer has four little
girls whom she expects to send some day to Agnes
Scott. Ted (Cobbs) Hogan writes that she is
very happy in her own home in Columbia, Mo.
She would have liked to have entered her new
three weeks old daughter, Madge Harden, in the
baby show. We regretted to hear that Nell
(Clarke) Murphey's health is not good. Helen
(Brown) Webb and Lott (Blair) Lawton were
both too busy with their new homes to come.
Helen's is still in the process of being built. Lott
sent us a picture of hers, which has just been
completed. It is a very pretty two-story brick
house. Marguerite (Wells) Bishop wrote that the
date of her brother's wedding conflicted with com-
mencement. Charlotte Jackson was too busy with
her church engagements and Mary Pittard with
Y. W. C. A. work. Ruth (Blue)' Barnes had to

have her little boy's tonsils removed about the time
of commencement. Florence Brinkley and Kath-
leen Kennedy were still teaching. We are proud
to know that Florence represents us on the
Goucher College faculty. Kathleen is doing a
wonderful work at her mountain school. There
was to be a tonsil clinic immediately after the
close of her school and she could not leave until
that was over. Annie Tate Jenkins came back a
year too soon, as she was at commencement last
year. "M. B." also sent her regrets.

Now, let every one of us begin planning to
be back at the next reunion, because there is
nothing else to equal it!

'15

Well, 1915 was back, only two years after its
last reunion, the Dix System being responsible for
the hurried up affair.

The class sat together at the Trustees' Luncheon
on Saturday, and starred in the moving pictures
taken just after the luncheon.

Henrietta Lambdin Turner, Mary Hyer Vick,
Mary Kelly Coleman, and Lucy Naive were back
from out of town; from Atlanta and Decatur
came Catherine Parker, Mary Helen Schneider
Head, Mary West Thatcher, Grace Reid, and
Annie Pope Scott.

The class got together on Monday evening
at dinner in the dining room of the Alumnae
House, Catherine Parker and Annie Pope Scott
being hostesses. On this occasion messages were
read from a number of absent members, and
also reminiscences were indulged in concerning
the good old days at Agnes Scott from 1911-1915.

Some told how important, or unimportant they
considered themselves now, compliments were ex-
changed on our youthful appearance, and we felt
gay, until someone unfortunately introduced for
discussion the subject of gray hairs. Gloom reign-
ed until the subject was voted down, and soon
the color of our locks was forgotten entirely.

Martha Brenner Shryock was unanimously re-
elected class secretary, and when she asks in
1932, "Will you be back for reunion in May?"
let's all say, "you may count on me!"

'17

We always love to think of the time when we
can go back to old places that we have loved,
and see the people we used to know, and talk
of what we used to do, and yet when the time
comes for that return, we are so often just a bit
afraid things and people may be disappointing.

And so an alumna hesitates often to go back
for her class reunion. We of the class of '17 have
proved to ourselves that it is perfectly safe to re-
turn to Agnes Scott again. After ten years we
find that dear old Agnes Scott, her faculty, her
halls, her grounds, are just as wonderful as they
were years ago when we said farewell to our
student days and scattered abroad to seek our for-
tunes and make our careers. We still have our
"treasured dreams of times long past," and we
have now, too, bright and fresh, the vision of
what Agnes Scott is today, and what she is be-
coming for the future generations of students.

Many are the stories we had to tell of ourselves
as sixteen of us gathered at the Trustees' Luncheon
on May 28th. Georgiana (White) Miller leads
the class with her five handsome children, a real
sweetheart for a husband, and a home in Orlando,
Fla. Mary (Eakes) Rumble, who has a hand-
some son and a fine little girl, remarked at the
Baby Show that she was glad to see that Agnes
Scott grandchildren were really intelligent look-
ing. "You know," said she, "husbands really are
bedragging!" Amelia (Alexander) Greenawalt
announced that it wouldn't be but eight years
before the older of her two daughters would be
entering A. S. C. !

Vallie Young (White) Archibald, the same
old enthusiastic "V. Y.," has, according to her
expression, "a darling little red-headed three-year-

old girl." "V. Y." has been teaching in High
School this year, too. Mildred (Hall) Pearce and
Jane (Harwell) Rutland, each have a little girl
about three years old. Rita (Schwartz) Aron-
stam lives in Atlanta and has two fine children.
Willie Belle (Jackson) McWhorter, a bride of
about a year, has been living in Atlanta since last
fall.

Such is the story a partial story, of course,
since the husbands were not allowed to be pres-
ent to tell their sides of the happy family tale
such is the story of the married "seventeens" who
came back to reunion. The re-uning other half
still live in single blessedness; "single" anyhow,
"blessedness" more or less!!

Gjertrud Amundsen came all the way from
her position as club executive of the Harlem Y.
W. C. A. of New York City in order to cele-
brate with her classmates. Janet Newton came
from Florida where she is private secretary in the
office of a big firm. Regina Pinkston keeps house
for her father and says she "just works in his
bank." Privately, we believe she is taking train-
ing to be that bank's next president. Regina was
unanimously elected secretary of the class as
Laurie wrote from Tampa that her youngest baby
takes up so much of her time and energy that
she must resign. "The secretary has resigned; long
function the secretary!"

Martha Dennison makes family budgets and
shows other people how to raise their children

as a part of her work with Atlanta's Family Wel-
fare Organization. Everybody knows that '17 still
has one representative at Agnes Scott in the per-
son of Augusta Skeen, assistant Professor of chem-
istry.

Katherine Simpson loves her work of teach-
ing little children in one of the grammar schools
of Atlanta. And now we come to the only two
"real old-maids" of the class the only two in
the class who have not bobbed their hair! Sarah
Webster and Isabel Dew, respectively history and
math teachers at Fulton High School. Sarah is
going to Harvard summer school this summer, so
you may hear by fall that she has deserted the
old-maid ranks and left Isabel alone to go on
teaching the high school youth in winter and to
trip the light fantastic at camp in summer days
along with her class in dancing at Camp Juna-
luska.

This chronicle would not be half complete with-
out telling about our faculty members of '17.
Dr. McCain, Mrs. Parry, and Dr. Guy, all graced
our class luncheon with their presence. Since
Miss McKinney was claimed by the class of '13,
whose claim on her was four years ahead of ours,
we could not have her for lunch, so we had a little
breakfast in the tea room on Monday, and thus
persuaded her to have at least one meal with us.
Dr. Sweet, having little illness on hand at home-
going time, consented to join our party, too. You
know, those two don't change a bit! Miss "Mc-
Kinney has the same playful smile as in our days
of English XI.

There was not much change in any of the
sixteen of us, we proudly told each other. There
was a little wiser look, of course, to indicate
the passage of time, and a few gray hairs gave
signs of wisdom in the heads beneath them, but
otherwise a little weight more or a little weight
less than in 1917 seemed to be the only change.
The same old spirit of college days was ever appar-
ent.

At luncheon there were passed around letters
and "family pictures'" from many absent ones
who longed to be with us, but couldn't because
of other demands. Dr. India (Hunt) Balch has
married a doctor in Massachusetts. She, by the
way, is the member of the class who will rep-
resent us among the famous alumnae in the Sil-
houette this year. She has won distinction in her
profession of medicine. Agnes Scott Donaldson's
letter from Los Angeles says she is assisting in the
experiment with Dr. Miriam Van Waters, teach-
ing delinquent girls to use their freedom. Eliz-
abeth (Gammon) Davis, Brazil, and Ellen (Ram-
sey) Phillips, Mexico, sent letters and pictures of
life at their mission stations. "Spot" Payne, the
dignified dean of Lucy Cobb Institute, wired that
she started down to reunion, but had car troubles.
She got here for commencement day, however.
Anne (Kyle) McLaughlin, our recent bride, wrote
a card of greeting, saying house-fixing kept her
away. Virginia (Scott) Pegues sent her greeting
by mail. Two little children kept her busy out
there in Texas.

The kodak pictures of Frances (Thatcher)
Moses' two daughters and of herself told the tale

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

of another of our number. Louise Ware wired
her message from New York City. Mary (Neff)
Maddox told about measles and moving which
were keeping her away from us, and a later mes-
sage, bringing the news of the death of her
youngest child in an automobile accident in which
Mary was also hurt, cast a shadow over our re-
union.

Present records show that '17 has twenty-three
married members and seventeen unmarried, and
thirty children, mostly future Agnes Scotters!
Doing pretty well for "higher education," don't
you think?

There are two new institutions at the college
for which we desire to speak the highest praise.
The new reunion scheme suits every one of us
exactly, for the joy of meeting again girls of
other classes that were at college during our time
there comes next to the joy of seeing our own
classmates. May the Dix System continue!

Then, the Alumnae House! You who have not
come back to college since the alumnae have
had a real home of their own do not know the
pleasure of the feeling of "belonging," such as
comes to those who make this house their head-
quarters while visiting the college.

It was a memorable tenth anniversary! Let's
pl.tn to make our reunion for the fifteenth year
just as thrilling!

'22

The class of '22 was terribly surprised and
ashamed of itself when it saw what a small per-
centage of members were back for the reunion,
but we soon saw that the old maxim of "quality,
if not quantity" held true with us, and that we
could have a jolly reunion in spite of the many
'22 girls who did not return.

And we had the distinction of having a husband
and a small son with us! Harriet (Scott) Bowen

had driven down from Virginia with her husband
and adorable little son, Grat, Jr., who was the
star of the moving-pictures that were taken of
the reunion classes Saturday afternoon. Sarah Till
came over from Mississippi, and it was quite like
old times to see her swinging across the campus
again. Louie Dean (Stephens) Hayes drove down
from Marietta to show the other members of '22
how wonderfully "happy though married" she
looks; Frances Oliver left the financial crises of
Plains to take care of themselves as best they

could while she enjoyed a holiday from the bank;
Laura (Oliver) Fuller brought little Rusty over
from Montgomery to show him off to '22; and
demonstrate that the second generation is quite as
charming as the present one; Mary Knight, our
life president, came out from Atlanta in a
Roumanian frock that made each of us de-
termine to save up ten years and get one just
exactly like it; Ruth Pirkle pulled off her botani-
cal smock and left her slides and microscopes to
take part in the reunion; Mary Floding came out
from Atlanta; and Allie Louise Travis came up
from Covington, and thassall there were there
weren't any more!

But we did have a good time! And though we
could shake all the other class members who
didn't come back, we left Agnes Scott fully re-
solved to be a committee of nine determined young
women, bent on bringing back to our next re-
union such a large percentage of 22-ers that '26
and all other cocky young cup-winning classes
should be simply bowled over by our numbers,
and not have breath enough left for a gasp as
we proudly march off with that attendance cup
in 1929!

'24

May, 1924, was anything but a merrie month
to the fifty-seven members of the senior class at
Agnes Scott. Our four happy years together were
over, and we were leaving Agnes Scott, as we
tearfully believed then, forever; scattering to the
four winds, really to be "parted by land and sea,"
in the words of our class song for Vivian Little
was leaving immediately for France and Fran
Myers was going out to Japan perhaps forever.
Our good-byes were tearful for we felt that in
so many cases they were to be final.

And weren't we the silly young things?

For the very next year May, 192 5 twenty-
one of those fifty-seven who parted "forever" such
a short while ago met again at Agnes Scott to
celebrate our first reunion. And again in May,
1927, three years after graduation, twenty-one
members of the class of '24 came back to Agnes
Scott. Part forever? It simply isn't done. We
are already planning for our next reunion in
1929!

In May, 1927, we came back from six different
states and Cuba! Lil McAlpine (who has been
Mrs. Philip Butner since March) went from Win-
ston-Salem, N. C, over to Clinton, S. C, where
she picked up Helen Lane Comfort and a Chev-
rolet, and the three of them made the trip on to
Decatur together. They arrived Friday afternoon
in the midst of the Alumnae Baby Show, and
Sarah Till, '22 (Lil's senior sister, who was acting
as one of the baby show judges), and Sarah
Slaughter and Margaret Tufts, '26, who were
handing around ice cream cones, deserted the baby
show in a pell-mell rush over the faculty flower
garden to greet them. And then Mary Hemp-
hill Greene, wearing a big hat and carrying a big
suitcase, came through the temporarily deserted
alumnae house, looking for the bunting, the re-
ception committee, and a warm welcome. She

found them all three! The members of '24 who
had been helping alumnae mammas keep their
children from swinging on the limbs of the pop-
lar trees behind Inman and killing themselves and
each other, left the alumnae mammas to care for
their offsprings as best they could; the clan of
'24 was gathering and everybody else was un-
important. Emmie (Ficklen) Harper had finished
packing and labeling her trunks for India two
weeks before and come down from New Jersey to
visit a while with Martha (Eakes) Matthews and
Cora Morton in Decatur before the reunion.
Katie Frank Gilchrist was already established with
Phillippa over in South Side Cottage, and Re-
becca Bivings, Vivian Little, Mary (Mann) Boon,
and Daisy Frances Smith were all ready to come
out from Atlanta on a minute's notice as soon as
the vanguard of out-of-town alumnae began ar-

riving. Marguerite Dobbs came from East Point
to kill two birds with one stone for '24's reunion,
and to see her little sister, Frances, graduated with
'27. Frances (Ciilliland) Stukes, Dick Scandrett,
Polly Stone and Cora Morton were on the campus
beforehand to give us the glad hand of welcome,
and Catlierine (Nash) Goff had a whole string
of adoring little Emory University undergraduates
ready to run her out to Agnes Scott from the
Emory theolog library where she is working.

Mary Evelyn (or "Speedy") King was at Agnes
Scott during the first part of May, and had gone
over to Alabama to visit Lucy Oliver and go to
Nonie Peck's wedding. Speedy had planned to
come back to reunion, but she and Lucy were
hurt so badly in an automobile accident that she
was unable to rime.

Annie Wilson Terry was staying with her fresh-
man sister, Mary, in Inman, and Saturday morn-
ing Helen Wright and Virginia Burt came stagger-
ng up the Alumnae House stairs, under a load of
suitcases and hatboxes covered with European
labe''. Margaret McDow arrived from Missis-
sippi, and Elizabeth Askew from Cuba, and the
party was complete!

At the alumnae luncheon on Saturday our large
number impressed the smaller classes greatly
until '26 rose with a s much larger number, and

impressed us! Saturday afternoon we broke into
the movies, issuing from the library door with our
most self-conscious swagger and giggling our very
silliest as we got close to the camera. How mucli
we shall appreciate the calm and poise "f movie
actresses after this! For being in the movies is a
terrible strain, sisters; we've been in them now a.nd
we know. Next reunion we hope some other easier
little pastime (such as trial by fire) will be used
on returning alumnae.

Saturday night to the Blackfrair play! Sunday
to the baccalaureate sermon and how we swelled
with pride to see three of our number, Cora, Daisy
Frances, and Vivian in cap and gown among the
faculty as the academic procession wound along
under the old oak trees to the auditorium.

For our luncheon on Monday, we had the very
center of the tea room, with the other reunion
classes grouped around our blue and white table.
Blue bowls of ragged robins and swansonia car-
ried out our class colors. Margaret (Powell)
Gay, our life president, was unable to get back
from Shreveport, La., for the reunion this year,
so Dick, the class secretary, beamed at us from the
end of our long table. We sang our class song,
of course, "Hail Agnes Scott, We Sing to Thee!"
and were quite pleased with the respectful admir-
ing attention the other reunion classes gave to it.
After the luncheon we took kodak pictures of
the group, and then went down to Frances Stukes'
house, where she and Lil sang for us. It was just
like old times to be again on the Agnes Scott
campus listening to the two who sang together
through all four of their college years.

Monday afternoon came class day, and we re-
membered our own when we went through the
tall rose-wreathed gates at the side of the library,
and Dell read our will, and Mary Greene the
prophecy, and Janice read the class poem which
begins

"These four years have had their share of
friends "

Again we shall be "parted by land and sea."
Fran (Myers) Dickly is in Japan now with her
husband on a short business trip; Elizabeth Henry
and Frances (Gilliland) Stukes are sailing on the
same boat July first for Europe; Mary Mobberly
is leaving before the month of June is over to
study in Tours, France; and Emmie (Ficklen)
Harper and Marvin are sailing in August to real-
ize their dream of mission work in India, with
their first furlough five years away. The rest of
us have varied plans. Emily Arnold will prob-
ably be back at Chowan College next fall; Janice
Brown and Mary Green and Marjorie Speake ('2 5)
will live together in New York for a year and
study; Virginia Burt left Agnes Scott for Flor-
ida to be in Gertrude Green's wedding in Braden-
ton; Beulah Davidson will be back at Tate;
Martha (Eakes) Matthews will join her husband
in Chicago in June for a year of work at the
University; Cora Morton is to be married in Au-
gust at home in Athens, Ga., with Dick Scan-
drett as one of her bridesmaids; Nonie Peck was
married on May 24th and has gone to Anniston,
Ala., to live; Daisy Frances Smith won a scholar-
ship from the University of Pennsylvania, and will

20

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

do graduate work in history there next winter;
Dick Scandrett and Polly Stone will be back at
Agnes Scott.

During the three years we have been out of
college various experiences have come to us.
Twelve of the fifty-seven have married (two of
them with honeymoons in Europe) ; twelve have
done graduate work; ten have had trips abroad;
forty have been or are teachers (seven of the
forty are on college faculties); two are librarians;
and the only way to learn of the many little
things that have happened to us all is to come to
the next reunion. Would you miss it?

Besides the twelve husbands that '24 welcomes
into its circle (last reunion we only had one!),
we are now the proud possessors of two babies!
But they are both boys, so they can't come to
Agnes Scott. Margaret Griffin's baby, Lewis Wil-
liams, Jr., and Marian Johnson's son, are our two
children.

Too soon our third year reunion is a thing of
the past, and we are telling each other good-bye,
not "forever" this time, but just for two more
years and they will pass quickly and then we
shall meet again at our beloved Agnes Scott.

'26

Well, we certainly had beginner's luck, didn't
we? We think we are a pretty smart class to
come back for our very first reunion, when we
are so new at the game of being alumnae, and
capture the attendance cup from all those other
classes who have been alumnae for years and
years, know all the ins and outs of reunions, and
have so few class members to bring back, too,
compared with our seventy-seven! Capturing that
cup is a big thrill. It is comparable to winning
the cat at the annual Freshman-Sophomore con-
test of wits, and the other reunion classes will
have to forgive us if we feel a little puffed-up
about ourselves. When the good old digits that
form I926 are engraved on the side of that cup,
and it is back in its place in the Alumnae
House living-room for all the world of Agnes
Scott to see, we feel that just a tiny little bit of
our love and loyalty for our Alma Mater will
be shown.

Why, we didn't know we did love that place so
much! But after a long, lonely year away from
all the other seventy-six who mean so much to
the seventy-seventh, and away from that quiet,
green, campus, it was with a feeling almost too
solemn and lovely to put into words that we came
back to Agnes Scott this May. Of all the col-
leges in the world, this is the one we love best!
This is the one we chose from all the rest, and
now that we have completed our four joyous
years there, and spent one year away from its
sheltering arms, we realize just how big a part
of all that is best in us is associated with Agnes
Scott, and the friends we made there.

So back we came for our first reunion. Lots of
us stacks of us piles of us numbers of us
enough of us to put the other class percentages
in the shade, while we strutted off with the cup.
But, oh, classmates of '26, lots of us came, but
not all of us! It made our hearts hurt a little in

the midst of all the fun of reunion to think that
never again will all of us be together again under
the trees of Agnes Scott campus.

In the words of the Toonerville Gazette, "The
class of '26 held its first reunion in May, 1927, at
Agnes Scott. Dinner on the ground, and a good
time was had by all." We really did have dinner
on the ground! All the other reunion classes
had their Monday luncheons in the Alumnae
House, but there were such flocks of them, and
such flocks of us, too, that we all couldn't be
accommodated there, so we had our class meet-
ing and luncheon on the lawn at Mrs. McKin-
ney's, just across the street. Talk? Mercy, we
every one talked as fast as Sarah Smith does ordi-
narily. Who listened? Ask me another. We
gossiped disgracefully about the absent members;
the only way not to get talked about at a class

reunion is to come to it, and stay to every single
thing. The minute a person is absent, "chatter,
chatter, chatter," for, in spite of our experience of
one whole year out in the wide world, the days
"when we were very young" are not far away.

While we sat on Mrs. McKinney's lawn and
chattered and sang and enjoyed ourselves im- "
mensely, we kept one eye cocked on the Alumnae
House across the street where the other reunion
classes were indulging in so much hilarity that we
expected to see the roof lifted at any minute. And
we had a hunch that we won the cup, too, and we
wanted to be sure no other class bore it off under
our very eyes. And sure enough the door of the
Alumnae House burst open, and bookity, bookity,
here came the Alumnae Secretary bounding across
the street, bearing the loving-cup, filled to the
brim with icy-cold grape-juice and "one little
straw for the each of us!" We raised a shout
that made the oak-leaves over our heads almost
flutter off their stems, and then we gathered
around Sarah Smith, Madam President, and sipped
all that grape-juice up!

So many things happened during that one little
week-end of commencement that a detailed ac-
count would soon become as bulky as a Funk
and Wagnall's unabridged. So many of us live
in Atlanta, and have cars, and are hospitable
and popular, that the minutes that weren't taken
up with class activities were filled with other
affairs.

Yessah, the Toonerville Gazette was certainly
right: "A good time was had by all!!"

AGNES SCOTT ABROAD

Every summer a number of the college facul-
ty, alumnae, and students study or travel abroad.
Not a single one who returned last summer failed
to tell of the experience of meeting other mem-
bers of our Agnes Scott family on the beaten path
or in some out of the way corner of Europe. It
is a delightful surprise to encounter an old college
friend abroad, and a very chagrinning experience
to learn that you were in Paris or Vienna or
Belfast on the very day that some other alumna
was there, but neither of you had the faintest no-
tion of the other's whereabouts. One alumna met
an old friend in Rome last year, just as she was
leaving the station. They had been in the same
city a week, each unaware of the presence of the
other, and met by chance just too late to see any-
thing of each other.

If all the alumnae who plan European trips
will notify the alumnae office, they can learn
the names of other alumnae whom they may like
to arrange to travel with or meet at some point
along the way. '

living abroad:

Elizabeth Burke, '16 (Mrs. ^X'illiam C. Bur-

JUNE WEDDINGS

SUMMER READING

Years ago, Agnes Scott established the reputa-
tion of having the largest percentage of mar-
riages among her graduates of any other A-1
woman's college in the country. We are certain-
ly living up to this reputation, and the following
list of engagements and marriages have been an-
nounced to take place during the month of June.

"Old friends are tried and truest.
Good books, not just the newest."
A breathless, latest-book-out, reading fiend ex-
pressed contemptous surprise on hearing that a
friend of hers had not read one of the newest
books.

"Why, it has been out since Christmas," she

[

22

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

said. "Everybody is reading it and talking of ANNUAL DEDICATED TO ALUMNAE

"Have you ever read all of the Divina Corn-
media, by Dante?" the friend asked. Avid reader
admitted that she had not. "It has been out
over six hundred years," was the quiet response,
"and has had quite a bit of discussion, too."

The books listed below are not all just out.
Some are new, but some are old. There are
possibly some of the old that may have escaped
you, and that you will enjoy during the hours
on the front porch this summer.

The Cathedral Hugh Walpole.

Harmcr John Hugh Walpole (a tale of the
cathedral people).

Fantastics and Other Fancies Lafcadio Hearn.
("These fantastics are my impressions of the
strange life of New Orleans.")

Java Head Joseph Hergersheimer.

Brother Saul Donn Byrne.

The Romantic Comedians Ellen Glasgow.

The Last of the Vikings Johan Bojer.

lett.

ALUMNAE LUNCHEON IN MACON

When the Georgia Education Association held
its annual meeting in Macon in April, although
the Association is not one of colleges, but gram-
mar and high schools, there were so many Agnes
Scott alumnae present that an Agnes Scott lunch-
eon was gotten up. Over a hundred Agnes
Scott graduates are teaching in the schools of
Georgia.

Anne McKay, '25, and Rutli Johnston, 25, were
in charge of the luncheon which was hold in a
private dining-room ol the Dcmpsev Hotel, con-
vention headquarters. Agnes Scott colors ol
purple and white were used in ,.he Howers and
table decorations.

Dr. McCain had motored down ^roni ,',-l;.nta
for the meeting, bringii ^.; with im Miss Hop-
kins, Miss Torrance, Miss Snii-h, Misi IrccJ, and
Polly Stone, alumnae secretary. Mr. Holt was
present at the luncheon also. He and Miss Tor-
rance were scheduled for addresses luring the
afternoon .session of r. e convertion.

The alumnae who aitcu'lod ihe luncheon were
Frances Spratiim;, '2(.; Anne (McCIure) Simp-
son, '16; Belle Cooper, '18; Rusha Wesley, Emma
Wesley, Adelaide Cunningham, Emily Spivey, '2 5;
Beulah Davidson, '24; Ethel (McKay) Holmes,
ex '15; Debra (Blocli) Wallenstein, ex 17; Alice
(Bloch) Cohen, ex '21; Isabel Dew, '17; Sarah
Webster, '17; Annis Kelly, ex '15; Rose Wood,
'08; Lillian Mlddlebrooks, '25; Anne McKay, '25;
Ruth Johnston, '2 5; Polly Stjnc, 24, and tnc
above named faculty membei-:.

The 1927 issue of the "Silhouette" the year
book gotten out by the student body of Agnes
Scott IS dedicated to the alumnae. The ties be-
tween student and alumna have been strengthened
greatly within the past years since the erection
of the Anna Young Alumnae House on the
campus, to which so many alumnae so often re-
turn. The students are given certain guest privil-
eges in connection, with the house which they
seem to value highly and which they have never
abused in the slightest degree. The alumna re-
turns to Agnes Scott and from her headuarters
at the Alumnae House (or the Tea House, as it
is known on the campus), gets to know the
present generation of students; the student looks
forward to the day when she may as an alumna
call the Alumnae House her own, and enjoy its
many privileges.

And so for five years the ties between student
and alumna have gradually grown stronger. The
request which came in November from the stu-
dents that they be allowed to dedicate the "Sil-
houette" to their "older sisters" is a great com-
pliment to the alumnae and an indication of the
cordial relations that exist between these two
great units in our college.

Nineteen names were passed on by a commit-
tee of the students themselves as alumnae out-
standing in some special phase of work. The
pictures of these representatives nineteen will ap-
pear in the "Silhouette," although the book is
lovingly dedicated to all the alumnae. Those whose
pictures will be used are:

R. Florence Brinkley.

Mildred Thomson.

Tommie Dora Barker.

Elizabeth McCarrick.

India (Hunt) Balch.

Julia (Ingram) Hazzard.

Janef Preston.

Margaret Bland.

Bessie (Scott) Harmon.

Mary Wallace Kirk.

Quenelle Harrold.

Vivian Little.

Lucile Alexander.

Mary Kirkpatrick.

Nan Bagby Stephens.

Mary Barker.

TO REBUILD THE SHAKESPEARE
THEATRE

American colleges and schools are taking great
interest in the effort of the American Shakespeare
Foundation to rebuild the Shakespeare Memorial
Theatre, destroyed by fire last year, at Strat-
ford-on-Avon.

Since 1879 the heart of Shakespeare's town has
been the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre. From
Stratford-on-Avon it has quickened the world
with the beauty of Shakespeare's work through the
Spring and Summer Festival performances of his

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

23

plays. Pilgrims come from every land to attend
these performances of the master's plays, to rest
their eyes on the tranquil Avon, to browse in the
Shakespearean library near the Theatre, to catch,
perhaps, a vision of Shakespeare by treading the
lanes of the town and countryside where he lived
most of his life and by pausing in the church
before his tomb.

On March 6, 1926, this old Elizabethan town
was startled by the alarm of fire; the Memorial
Theatre burned to the ground, though the grace
of fortune left unharmed the invaluable library
of Shakespeareana.

Americans who recognize the debt they owe to
Shakespeare for the broadening of their horizons
and the enrichment of their lives are invited by
the executive committee of the American Shake-
spe.ire Foundation, of which Professor George
P. Baker of Yale is chairman, to discharge this
indebtedness, at least in part, by contributmg to
the international fund of $2,500,000 required to
rebuild and endow the Shakespeare Memorial.
America's part of this is $1,000,000. Any who
wish to participate in this American gift should
send checks to Otto H. Kahn, Treasurer, Ameri-
can Shakespeare Foundation, 150 Nassau Street,
New York City. Individual subscriptions range
from $ 1 up.

CLASS REUNIONS

The new schedule of reunions which we are
following now was a trifle confusing at first, but
we have weathered the first commencement under
its plan, and from now on it will be easy to
follow. We have all gotten the idea firmly fixed
in our minds that we are to come back the first
year out, third year, fifth year, and every fifth
year thereafter. The first thing to do is to get
this old plan of reunion completely out of our
thoughts, and for the next ten years to follow
the chart given below. This chart is essentially
the Dix System, combining with it for the first
two years just enough of our old reunion system
to adjust us easily to the new.

Reunions in 1927 of '94, '9 5, '96, '97, '02, '07,
'12, '13, '14, '15, '17, '22, '24, '26.

In 1928: '93, '99, '00, '01, '18, '19, '20, '27.

In 1929: '05, '04, '05, '21, '22, '23, '24.

In 1930: '06, '07, '08, '09, '25, '26, '27, '28.

In 1931: '93, '94, '10, '11, '12, '13, '29, '30.

In 1932: '95, '96, '97, '14, 'IS, '16, '17, '31.

In 1933: '99, '00, '01, '02, '18, '19, '20, '21, '32.

In 1934: "03, '04, '05, '06, '22, '23, '24, '25, '33.

In 1935: '07, '08, '09, '10, '26, '27, '28, '29, '34.

In 1936: '93, '94, '95, '11, '12, '13, '14, '30, '31,
'32, '33.

In 1957: '96, '97, '99, '15, '16, '17, '18, '34, '35,
'3 6.

In 1938: '00, '01, '02, '03, '19, '20, '21, '22, '37.

(Note There is no reunion scheduled for '98,
since there is no living member of that class.)

NEW PHI BETA KAPPA MEMBERS

The Beta of Georgia, or Agnes Scott, Chapter
of Phi Beta Kappa, announced the following new
members at the chapel service on May 27th. From
the class of 1927:

Reba Bayless, Athens, Tenn.

Frances Buchanan, Macon, Ga.

Kenneth Maner, Atlanta, Ga.

Mamie Shaw, Gainesville, Fla.

Courtney Wilkinson, Lynchburg, Va.

Roberta Winter, Leiand, Miss.

Grace Zachry, Atlanta, Ga.

From the faculty. Dr. Mary Stuart MacDougall
and Dr. Catherine Torrance, for notable and na-
tionally recognized research work in their re-
spective departments of Biology and Greek.

From the alumnae:

Fannie G. (Mayson) Donaldson, '12.

Carol (Stearns) Wey, '12.

Cornelia Cooper, '12.
Mildred Thomson, '10.

When the chapter was installed at Agnes Scott
in 192 6, the regulations governing the election of
alumnae members required that they should have
done work meriting the grade of Phi Beta Kappa
while they were in college, that they should have
been out of college fifteen years, and during that
period have sufficiently identified themselves with
educational movements. Mrs. Donaldson and
Mrs. Wey are both past presidents of the Alumnae
Association, Miss Cooper is at present a member
of the faculty at Judson College, Marion, Ala.,
and Miss Thomson is doing notable work with
mental delinquents in St. Paul, Minn.

Members of the class of '27 announced after
mid-year examinations in January who are mem-
bers of Phi Beta Kappa are: ,

Susan Clayton, Atlanta, Ga.

Mary Lloyd Davis, LaGrange, Ga.

Miriam Preston, Soonchun, Korea.

SCHOLARSHIPS AND PRIZES

The Quenelle Harrold scholarship for graduate
study was awarded this year to Mamie Shaw, of
Gainesville, Fla. This scholarship, which is to be
given each year to one of the most promising
members of the graduating class, is the interest ac-
cruing from a sum of ten thousand dollars given
last year by Mrs. Thomas Harrold of Americus,
Ga., and named for her daughter. Quenelle, a
graduate of the class of '23. The winner of
the scholarship is to be selected each year by the
faculty.

Daisy Frances Smith, '24, will study for her
Master's degree next year at the University of
Pennsylvania, having won a scholarship there.
Daisy Frances will take her work in the depart-
ment of history, under Professor Edward P.
Cheney, whose visit to the college last year the
Agnes Scott community will remember most pleas-
antly.

The prize of twenty-five dollars offered by the
Alumnae Association for the best poem writ-
ten by a student member of the Agnes Scott
Poetry Society was won by Elizabeth Troup Nor-
fleet, president of the class of '27. A poem by
Virginia Earle, '5 0, was given honorable men-
tion.

The judges for the contest were Miss Louise
Driscoll, of Catskill, N. Y.; Miss Mary Brent
Whiteside, of Atlanta, Ga., and Dr. William Gil-
mer Perry, of the English Department of the
Georgia School of Technology.

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

ALUMNAE IN ACADEMIC PROCES-
SION

Beginning with the commencement exercises of
1928, it is planned to have all the alumnae re-
turning to the college make part of the academic
procession for the baccalaureate sermon on Sun-
day of commencement and for the final com-
mencement exercises on Tuesday. We have wanted
this for years, and have tried several times in a
half-hearted way to accomplish it, but it is much
better to have no alumnae march than to have
only some dozen stragglers representmg our great
alumnae body of several thousand.

Ail the alumnae who own academic cap and
gown are asked to donate them to the alumnae
office where they can be kept and rented when
needed. Each cap and gown will be marked
with the owner's name, and she will always have
the privilege of using that one whenever she de-
sires. During the exercises next commencement,
we hope to have every returning alumna as a
part of the academic procession.

ALUMNAE HOUSE CHANGES

The appearance of the living and dining rooms
of the Anna Young Alumnae House has changed
completely since the photograph of these rooms
as published in the November, 1926, Alumnae
Quarterly. The house was five years old in Feb-
ruary, 1927; it has been used constantly ever
since it was built, and the original furnishings
were beginning to be decidedly shabby. Like the
wonderful old one-horse shay, everything began to
go to pieces at the same moment. We had ad-
mired and enthused over our lovely house until it
had become a habit, and suddenly we were con-
fronted with the necessity not of replacing a few
of the badly worn pieces in the living room, but
of refurnishing the living room entirely. And since
the French doors into the dining room make it
practically one with the living room, we found
ourselves with a huge and expensive refurnishing
proposition.

The Atlanta Agnes Scott Club rose to the oc-
casion. They took over the living room as their
especial care, and challenged the Decatur Alum-
nae Club to look after the dining room. Since
the house itself and the lovely mantle in the liv-
ing room are colonial, the Atlanta club de-
cided to refurnish the room along those lines.
Following the suggestions of the W. E. Browne
Decorating Company, to date June 1 5 they
have bought a new taupe rug, and cretonne cur-
tains with lovely old colonial brass cornices. The
House and Tea Room Cominittee has purchased
five-branch brass candlesticks for the mantle, and
has had the furniture in the room done over
and reupholstered. The gift of Miss Anna Young's
mother and sisters to the house this year was
new brass andirons and fender.

The Decatur Club, spurred on by the ac-
complishments of the Atlanta Alumnae, have
bought a similar rug, curtains and cornices for the
dining room, and a small hook throw-rug to con-
nect the two rooms. These were all in place by
commencement and were appreciated and enjoyed
greatly by the returning alumnae.

"MONDAY ONLY. AT $4.98"

A linen dress for $4.98 is so infinitely cheaper
than one for $J.OO! And the purchase of a jar
of cold cream for 49 cents instead of JO con-
vinces any woman that she has superior shop-
ping ability. The daughters of Eve love bar-
gains, and the Alumnae Association is offering a
perfectly splendid one.

Annual dues to the Association have formerly
been $1.50, and life memberships $37.50. Begin-
ning with the scholastic year 1927-28, annual
dues will be advanced to $2.00 and life member-
ships will take a corresponding climb to $50.00.

But until October 1, 1927, life memberships
may still be had for $37.50! If you mail your
check during the summer, send it to Polly Stone,
Blakely, Ga., and mark the envelope "alumnae
business." After September 1, Miss Stone will re-
ceive mail again at the college.

$37.50 in annual dues will last not quite nine-
teen years. If you expect to live longer than
that, satisfy your sense of a real bargain by send-
ing your check for 37.50, before October 1st,
marked "life membership."

College

Ethel McDonald (Mrs. Castellow), '06, died on
May 2nd, in Baltimore, Md.

In Memoriam

Ethel was a member of the Class of 1906 the
first class on which Agnes Scott College conferred
the regular A. B. degree. Gentle, refined, loyal,
devoted, hers was a life well worthy of the trust

imposed upon her by her Alma Mater ; and as an
Alumna of the College, throughout the years she
always labored lovingly and gladly for the pro-
motion and development of Agnes Scott.

Ethel McDonald Castellow was born in Cuthbert,
Ga., September 25th, 1886, a descendant of two
of the most prominent families in that section of
the state, being the daughter of Mr. George and
Mrs. Gertrude Gunn McDonald, and the grand-
daughter of two of Randolph County's pioneer
settlers, Edward McDonald and John McKenzie
Gunn. True to the traditions and principles of
her forebears, she always stood for what was
truest in her community's welfare. Retiring and
modest in her disposition, her many charities were
dispensed without ostentation, and were numerous
and generous.

She was a consistent member of the Presby-
terian Church and when in health she was active
in its work, always liberal in her support of its
various causes, at one time serving most effi-
ciently and successfully as treasurer of the
church's funds.

Her most loved public work and one in which
she was interested up until the last, was minister-
ing to the happiness of the county's Confederate
Veterans, and upholding the work of the U. D. C.
Memorial Day, 1927, came just a few days before
her death in Baltimore, and in the midst of ex-
tremest suffering, she wanted to know what was
being done at home about the Memorial Day exer-
cises. Blessed in her babyhood by President Jeffer-
son Davis himself, who laid his hand in benedic-
tion upon her tiny head, as she was held in her
father's arms, she carried through life a shining
devotion to the Southland and to the soldiers of
the Lost Cause.

On June 28, 1911, she became the wife of Mr. B.
T. Castellow, State's Attorney for the Pataula
.Judicial Circuit, and through the fifteen years as
his wife and mother of one little daughter, Ger-
trude, she entered into the fullness of loving
homemaking with the same sincerity and genuine-
ness of purpose that always characterized her.

The end came gently to her in the early morning
of May 2nd, in Baltimore, where she had gone
several weeks before in quest of health. Her sister,
Mrs. Emilio Suarez, was with her until the last.
She has been an intense sufferer for many years,
patient, brave, determined in her efforts to win
the battle for the sake of her little daughter and
the others whom she loved : but the forces against
the frail body were too strong for her. The funeral
services were held at her mother's home in Cuth-
bert, on the afternoon of May 4th. Sympathizing
friends and relatives from all over the seven
counties comprising the Pataula Circuit came to
pay a last tribute to her and to her sorrow-
ing husband. The home was a bower of beauti-
ful flowers attesting the love and admiration in
which she was held, and she was laid to rest in
the family lot at Roseland Cemetery.

Beside her husband and daughter, she is sur-
vived by her mother, her sister and one brother,
J. E. McDonald, all of Cuthbert.

A college classmate, writing of her since she
was taken away, says : "There never was a lovelier
person than Ethel so sweet, unselfish, consider-
ate, so loyal, so conscientious in her work and
with such a high sense of honor in all things and
with it all. a brilliant mind and one so capable
and efficient. It will always be one of the sweet-
est privileges of my life to have known her so
well."

Farris Davis, ex '08, is editor of "The Kaleido-
scope," a bi-monthly magazine devoted to news

and views of club and social events in Jackson-
ville, Fla. The Kaleidoscope is a sixteen page pub-
lication with an attractive format. In connection
with the magazine, Farris is conducting a Service
Bureau, which finds data on any subject for club
papers, etc., dresses speeches up for the amateur,
handles publicity, and organizes classes in parlia-
mentary law, public speaking, physical culture,
dancing and bridge.

Florence Hanson Light (Mrs. A. Harmon Rob-
erts), ex '09, is living at Accotink, Va., where
her husband is a dairyman. Florence has five
children: Margaret Williams, 11; Alex W. Wil-
liams, Jr., 9 ; Robert Frank Roberts, 3 ; Richard
Light Roberts, 2, and a new baby. Sue Harmon,
born during April.

There is a most interesting article in the Chris-
tian Science Monitor for March 8, 1927, called
"A Newspaper Epic." It is the story of Edith
(O'Keefe) Susong, ex '10, and the "Democrat-
Sun," the paper she owns and edits in Greenville,
Tenn. A special correspondent of the Monitor
was sent down to Greenville for the express pur-
pose of interviewing Mrs. Susong. A few quo-
tations from the article will be interesting : "About
ten years ago I found myself faced with the
necessity for making a living for my two chil-
dren and myself. I had the title to an unsuc-
cessful weekly newspaper and a mortgage for
$3,000. I found that the paper was published in
a cellar on a side street, and the equipment was
antiquated. Those were busy days. I learned the
business from top to bottom. I wrote all the
news, wrote and sold the advertising, kept books,
handled the circulation, learned to set and dis-
tribute type, and on busy days I fed the obsolete
country Campbell press with both sides of the
paper, folded all the papers by hand, addressed
them all by hand, rolled and zoned them, and
carried them to the post office alone and un-
aided. . . . From the first I had an uphill
task. The two other Greenville newspapers were
located on the principal streets, and had well-
equipped plants . . . Another difficulty I
had to meet was the fact that this section is so
deeply conservative that the former patrons did
not feel a woman could publish a newspaper.
After about three years in the cellar,
I grew ambitious and formed the plan of entering
the daily field. . . . But before I could do
this, one of my competitors converted his weekly
into a daily a serious thing for me. The other
competitor was harder hit than I by the daily's
popularity and failed. I bought his equipment.
After the war, advertising fell off, and
the daily failed. The same week I bought the
plant for $16,500, largely on credit. Even my
best friends told me that if a man failed in pub-
lishing a daily newspaper, a woman could hardly
hope to succeed. . . . But I would not be
discouraged, and gradually brought order out of
chaos. ... I began to give Greene Coun-
ty a newspaper that was absolutely independent
in politics, boosted the community, and was fair
to everyone. I do not believe in destructive criti-
cism. . . . It is my conviction that serious
responsibility rests on the shoulders of a news-
paper publisher. I have faithfully tried to dis-
charge that responsibility to the best of my abil-
ity." Edith has a little son, Alex, and a daugh-
ter, Martha Arnold, whom she is raising to take
over the "Democrat-Sun" some day.

Flora (Crowe) Whitmire, '10, who lives in
Hartford, Conn., has been south on a visit to her
old home at Smyrna, Ga.

Mary Wallace Kirk, '11, and her mother were
among the out-of-town visitors at Sadie Gober's
wedding in Marietta, Ga., on June 8th. They
spent some time in Atlanta before the wedding,
stopping at the Atlanta Biltmore Hotel.

Janie Louise Hunter, ex '12, writes from Gray
Court, S. C. : "I am keeping house for my brother
arfd my mother, who is in ill health. I taught two
years in the Greenville City schools, but since then
it has become necessary for me to stay at home.
I find much pleasure in working in my little
country church and rural school Improvement As-

sociation, and try to do some real community
work."

Eleanor (Pinkston) Stokes, '13, has the true
army wife attitude towards the many moves that
army people are so often forced to make. Just
two days before her class reunion at Agnes Scott
(and her sister, Regina, was to be here for her
class reunion, too!) Major Stokes received orders
to leave immediately for Fort Oglethorpe. And,
although Eleanor had been looking eagerly for-
ward to her reunion with her classmates, "she's
in the army now," and when official orders said
"move." move she did. '13 missed her at the
reunion, but admired tremendously her implicit
obedience to orders. Fort Oglethorpe is a de-
lightful army post in Tennessee, and Eleanor is
very pleased with her new home.

Ruth (Brown) Moore's new son, Davis Moore,
arrived just too late to be announced in the
April Quarterly. He was born on March 29th,
and makes Ruth's third child.

Born to Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Hogan on April
21st. a daughter, Madge Harden. Mrs. Hogan
was formerly Thcodosia Cobbs, of the class of '14,

possible that I have not written the alumnae of-
fice of the most important event of my life
the arrival of Mary Emily on September 30th last?
When the last Quarterly came she was deliprhted
with its outward hue and it suddenly occurred
to me that she had never been announced therein.
Please reserve a suite at Agnes Scott in 1942 for
Mary Emily, Jule Hagood's daughter, Marie, and
Gertrude Manly's daughter, Gertrude. It will be
history repeating itself for the three of them to
be at Agnes Scott together."

Margaret (Shive) Bellingrath is another mem-
ber of '20 who is occupied with a new baby.

Eunice Legg, ex '20, is secretary-treasurer of

Anna Marie have both had whooping cough, there
have been several weddings in the family, and
now I am trying to get a little sewing done,
along with house-cleaning, fixing flower boxes,
cooking and nursing. Billy and Anna Marie have
enjoyed being out again this month, after two
months of ciuarantine, and have made three ap-
pearances in their Korean costumes. They have
had two trips to town to meet friends from Korea
who were passing through Nashville. Speaking
of Korea, reminds me of Frances Charlotte. I
suppose that she has written to some one at
Agnes Scott about her engagement to Mr. Donald
Roberts, of the history department of St. John's
University at Shanghai. She told me they were
planning to be married in June, and go to Korea
and Japan on their honeymoon. I know that Char-
lotte (Bell) Linton will be glad to see her."

Augusta Antoinette Laxton, ex '21, is living in
Charlotte, N. C. She is a trained nurse.

Claire Louise Scott, ex '21, and president of

is already looking forward to entering Agnes
Scott in about seventeen years.

Elizabeth Wilson, '22, has moved from River-
iide Drive to 610 W. 115th Street, New York
City. She is planning to return to Europe in the
fall.

The dancing pupils of Evelyn Lovett, ex '22, pre-
sented a ballet and pantomime, "The Sleeping
Beauty," and an emotional interpretation of the
final movement of Beethoven's Kreutzer Sonata
during May. The Atlanta Constitution in writing
of the program says : "It was characterized by
the sound technique in dancing and the fresh
and spirited interpretation that have marked the
previous recitals of Miss Lovett's pupils. Miss
Lovett's dance, developed from the finale presto

movement of Beethoven's Kreutzer Sonata, was
an impassioned study of dynamic symmetry, ex-
pressing at the same time the power of the
composer and the lightness of the classical bal-
let."

Lucile (Little) Morgan, '23, writes in a most
threatening vein from Hefiin, Ala. : "The next
time you let it get into the Quarterly that I am
learning to cook, I'll do something terrible to
you ! Girl, I've been keeping house and cook-
ing for over eighteen months now, and when one
has been doing the daily three meals per for
that long it doesn't pat one's vanity on the back
to have it published abroad that one is still 'learn-
ing' ! Sounds as if I'm an inhabitant of Moronia
to say the least ! To tell the truth, I'm leading a
very interesting existence for (besides cooking!)
I'm taking a course in Art History, and coaching
a boy to get through senior high in two years
instead of three."

Two of the ex-members of *23 who are living in
Charlotte, N. C, are Carolyn (Moody) Jordan,
whoso husband is pastor of a large Methodist
church there, and Louise (Crosland) Huske, who
is keeping house in a lovely new home in Myers
Park.

Parrish (Little) Jette, ex '23, who went from
Agnes Scott to Barnard, is living at 331 W. 24th
St., New York City. She is assistant to Dr. E.
L. Thorndike at Columbia. Parrish's husband is
professor of Chemistry at New York University.

In making a census of marriages, husbands'
occupations, babies, trips to Europe, and other in-
teresting items among the members of '24, we dis-
covered that all five of the babies, of which we
are so inordinately proud, are boys ! Although
they can never attend Agnes Scott, the five proud
mothers have all promised that they shall have
parental consent to marry only Agnes Scott
Girls. The five mothers are Marian (Johnson)
Merritt, Margaret (Griffin) Williams, Annabel
(Burkhead) Greene, Isabel (Sewell) Hancock, and
Elvie (Wilson) Riley.

Nonie Peck, '24, finished up her year's work
as physical director and basketball coach at the
Lanier High in Montgomery on one day and was
married the next to Mr. Charles Fitzpatrick Booth
of Anniston, Ala. With all the rest of her life to
be married in, the members of '24 were perfectly
indignant with Nonie for choosing the dates of
our class reunion for her wedding, but with that
superior air that married alumnae assume toward
unwedded alumnae Nonie assured us that May
24 was the very nicest date in all the world and
she would not change it for many reunions. Just
wait 'till we get our hands on her at our next
reunion, though I Nonie's Anniston address is
721 Keith St.

Margaret (Powell) Gay has moved to 417
Rutherford, in Shreveport, La. a whole house
of her own, instead of an apartment.

Annadawn (Watson) Edwards, "the elusive
Annadawn," is taking a business course in Bir-
mingham, Ala.

Eleanor Whyte, ex "24, is teaching at Kosciusko,
Mississippi.

Josephine (Douglas) Harwell, '25, announces the
birth of her daughter, Evalina McClure Harwell,
the first part of April. "And besides that event,
we ar^e building a house, and are very thrilled over
a home and a baby all at once. The house is
brick, painted white, and in the French style of
architecture. I should love to come down to
Agnes Scott and see everybody, but all these hus-
bands, homes and babies I'm accumulating keep
me very busy."

And little Peg Hyatt is getting married ! The
wedding is to be at half after six o'clock in the
evening at horne in Norton. Va. "The future Mr.
Hyatt." alias Mr. John Albert Walker, is from
Appalachie, Va., very near Norton, and the town
where Jo (Logan) Montgomery, '23, is living.

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

Alumnae Association

REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT,
MAY 28th 1927

The report of the President for this year will
necessarily be short and more or less incomplete,
as the term is incomplete, and was begun in Feb-
ruary at the resignation of Mrs. Thatcher as
President. This has been a most "resigned" group
of officers. The President, the Secretary, and
the Chairmen of the Curriculum Committee and
Alumnae Aid League have asked the Executive
Committee to accept their resignations. These
have been regretfully accepted, and appointment
of their successors has been made according to
the Constitution by the Executive Committee.

All the committees have been active as will be
seen by their splendid reports. Through the Pub-
licity Committee and the efforts of the General
Secretary, Founder's Day over the radio was
again a great success, and brought responses from
all directions. An innovation this commence-
ment will be the taking of moving pictures after
the Trustees' Luncheon. These films will be kept
by the college, and shown at next commencement.
Also they may be had by local clubs or groups
of alumnae and will undoubtedly prove inter-
esting.

The Association has made two gifts this year to
the student body in order to promote interest be-
tween the alumnae and students. Twenty-five
dollars was given to the Day Students' Associa-
tion to help furnish their hut, and also a prize of
the same amount was offered through the poetry
club to the student who should write the best
piece of verse during the year. This is to be
awarded on commencement day.

The Louise McKinney Play Prize will also be
awarded at this time. The Silver Loving Cup for
the best attendance for the Class Reunion will be
awarded on Monday at the regular Class Day
Exercises. Last year this cup was won by the
class of 192 5.

This year the Alumnae Quarterly will be a
quarterly indeed and in fact as well as in name
for the first time, the fourth issue contain-
ing all the commencement news will go out early
in June instead of October as heretofore.

At the last meeting of the Association resolu-
tions were sent to the Board of Trustees asking
that, beginning with this year, the President of
the Association be invited to attend the meetings
of the board, and that the retiring President be
made a member of the board for a term of two
years. These resolutions were accepted by the
Board and under their provision the President at-
tended its meeting on May 27th, finding it both
interesting and helpful.

The Association has added almost two hun-
dred new names to its membership this year, under
the persistance of hard work of the General
Secretary, Miss Stone, and expects to grow much

more during the next year. Not only by addition
of the largest class in the hisotry of A. S. C. and
the largest per cent pledged members of any out-
going class in its history, but also by use of the
new Alumnae Register which Miss Stone has been
working on diligently all this year. This
register will be ready to go out with the fourth
Quarterly and will be a great help in every branch
of the work. It is confidently expected that next
year will be a great year in the life of the As-
sociation.

Respectfully submitted,

ALLIE (CANDLER) GUY, '13.

REPORT OF GENERAL SECRETARY

The outstanding achievement of the year, per-
haps, from the alumnae office is the completion
of the new alumnae register. The old register,
published in 1925, has been thoroughly worked
over, an attempt made (in the majority of cases
successfully made) to verify every address. The
old records of the college when it was an institute
have been gone carefully over, and five hundred
names, unpublished in the former directory, added
to the institue alumnae. There are over a
thousand cards in the file which has been made
for the first time of the old Agnes Scott Acad-
emy. In addition to the section for married names
of alumnae, and class groups, the new directory
will contain also a geographical census of Agnes
Scott alumnae throughout the world. This direc-
tory will be ready for the press during the month
of June.

The secretary has worked with the chairman
of the publicity committee in editing the Novem-
ber and April copies of the Alumnae Quarterly.
The third magazine will appear in June and will
contain write-ups of commencement and reunion.

During the spring, the secretary was sent by
the college to the annual college day at New
Orleans, and to Charlotte, Concord, and Gas-
tonia, N. C, where she spoke in the preparatory
schools to the girls on the subject of going to
college.

The work done in the direction of class or-
ganization and records and reunions usually
speaks for itself at this season of the year. But
this year, on account of our adoption of the Dix
System, the reunion situation is unique, and the
classes of '15, '14, and '15 deserve unusual ac-
claim for the splendid showing they are making
this commencement when their reunion was more
or less of a surprise bombshell to them, and many
of them had made definite plans to return next
year or the next. This is the most difficult year
we shall ever have in working into this new
reunion system, trying to combine gracefully the
old and the new, and the numbers of '13, '14
and 15 who are back are splendid attestation to
our alumnae approval of the Dix plan. One hun-

dred and twenty-five alumnae who are members
of reunion classes will return to Agnes Scott this
year forty of them are from out of the state,
and three from foreign countries.

The secretary attended the national convention
of alumni and alumnae secretaries and magazine
editors held in Chapel Hill at the University of
North Carolina this April. At this meeting she
was elected one of the three women trustees of
the organization. The other three women are
secretaries from Vassar, Mt. Holyoke, and Rad-
cliffe.

As publicity features, the office has worked
up the second annual radio program on Founder's
Day, heard by alumnae and friends in seven-
teen different states, and on the afternoon of May
2 8th, immediately following the trustees' luncheon
to the alumnae, moving pictures were taken of
the reunion groups.

The accomplishments of the year seem anything
but stupendous or satisfying when reviewed in this
way, but we feel that the new correct register
and the enormous amount of search and research
it represents, will compensate for other duties
temporarily neglected.

Respectfully submitted,

POLLY STONE,
General Secretary.

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MINUTES

The executive committee of the Agnes Scott
Alumnae Association met Wednesday afternoon,
February 23rd at the Anna Young Alumnae
House. The meeting was called to order by the
president, Mrs. Thatcher, at three o'clock.

The chairman of the publicity committee, Eliz-
abeth Wilson, '22, had sent from New York a
resolution that the time of the publication of the
Quarterly be changed from November, January,
March and May to November, January, April and
June, in order to get into the last issue of the
year all the commencement news. This was
voted on by the committee and carried.

The chairman of the preparatory schools com-
mittee sent in a report that five of her cities'
Little Rock, New Orleans, Wilmington, Jackson,
and Chattanooga had sent in lists of high school
seniors to Dr. McCain.

The chairman of the committee on class or-
ganizations and reunions recommended that the
Dix system of reunions be adopted, by which
classes should reune at the same time with other
classes with which they were in college. This
was voted on and carried, to be put into oper-
ation this commencement.

Margaret Phythian, chairman of the House and
Tea Room committee, reported that sugar bowls
and teapots had been bought for the Tea Room,
that they were intending to start new china for
the Tea Room very soon, and that five pairs of
curtains had been bought and put up in the up-
stairs bedrooms. There was some discussion of
the stair carpet, which is badly worn, but it was
decided that nothing could be done about it until

the rug for the living room, already bought by
the Atlanta club, was sent out and put down.
There has been a little mixup about the old rule
of charging two dollars for the use of the pri-
vate dining room. In the future, all committees
are to keep minutes of their meetings, and hand
these minutes over to incoming committee chair-
men.

The alumnae directory, which was to have ap-
peared in January has not yet been gotten out
on account of the tremendous job it was found
to be to locate all the former academy students.
Work is going on on this, and the directory, as
complete as possible, is to be gotten out as soon
as possible.

The chairman of the Committee on Beautifying
of Grounds and Buildings reported that shrubbery
has already been set out around the gymnasium,
and that all the shrubbery on the campus has been
pruned and fertilized this year. There are no
more funds at present, and no more can be
done this year.

The faculty advisors of the College Poetry
Club have asked the alumnae to oifer a small
prize this year, to stimulate the work of the girls
in the club. After some discussion, twenty-five
dollars was voted as the amount that should be
offered, announcement of the contest to be made
immediately.

A sum of twenty-five dollars was also set aside
as a gift to the day students, to be used in
furnishing their little hut on the campus.

The coming tea, given by the alumnae to the
senior class, was discussed, and since the senior
class is so large this year (104 members) a sum
of ten dollars was added to the appropriation of
the entertainment committee with which to help
give the tea.

On account of her health, the president, Mary
(West) Thatcher, offered her resignation, which
was reluctantly accepted by the committee. Allie
Candler Guy, the first vice-president, automatical-
ly becomes president.

Respectfully submitted,
MARTHA STANSFIELD, '87,

Secretary.

EXECUTIVE COUNCIL MINUTES

The executive council of the Agnes Scott
Alumnae Association met Wednesday afternoon,
February 23rd, at the Anna Young Alumnae
House at 4 o'clock. Mrs. S. E. Thatcher, presi-
dent of the association, presided.

Miss Hopkins, reported from the campus that
additional mailboxes have been bought for the
mail room, so that now there are only two
students using each box. A new system of
bulletin board, copied from one at Randolph-
Macon, has been installed in the library for the
use of the day students, where they receive
notices and any campus mail. The purchase of
a rug and curtains has been made for the day
student hut on the campus, the money given by
the college. Miss Hopkins read some of the tele-
grams received after the Founder's Day radio
program.

Elsa Jacobsen, president of the Student Gov-
ernment Association, then told a little about the

Tabard Inn Book Shop, which has been started and
carried on so far by the students, Hoasc sponsor-
ing it specifically. Financially it has been very
successful in a small way.

Mrs. Thatcher tendered her resignation as presi-
dent, which was regretfuly received by the com-
mittee.

Mrs. Donaldson reported that at the last meet-
ing of the trustees, it was decided to call the two
gateways which will be erected at the two main
entrances of the new main driveway for Mr.
Mandeville, and Dr. Armistead.

Mrs. Guy, from the Atlanta Club, reported
that they have raised over three hundred dol-
lars this year. They are now working on re-
furnishing the living room of the Alumnae
House, and have already bought the rug. The
plan they are following more or less closely is by
Browne, and calls for fourteen hundred dollars
in all.

A report from the Decatur Club is to the ef-
fect that that organization has come to life,
after deciding to meet at night so that the girls
who work in town can attend. At their last
meeting for six o'clock dinner here at the Alumnae
House there were thirty-odd present. They are
putting on a program of one-act plays the last
Saturday night in March, and expect to use the
money gained from these on the Alumnae House
living room in connection with the Atlanta Club.

SECRETARY'S REPORT

The executive committee of the Agnes Scott
Alumnae Association met Wednesday afternoon.
May 23 rd, at the Anna Young Alumnae House.
In the absence of the president, the first vice-
president, Mrs. Milton Scott, presided. After the
reports of standing committees the following of-
ficers resigned and their successors were appointed
according to the constitution of the Executive
Committee.

Secretary, replaced by Cora Morton, '24.

Chairman Scholarship Aid League, replaced by
Elizabeth Lynn, '27.

Chairman Curriculum Committee, replaced by

EXECUTIVE COUNCIL MINUTES

The Executive Council of the Agnes Scott
Alumnae Association met Wednesday afternoon.
May 2 3 rd, at the Anna Young Alumnae House at
4 o'clock. Mrs. Milton Scott, first vice-president
of the association, presided.

Miss Hopkins reported that purchases for next
year were to be inade in May and not in August
as heretofore. Miss Lewis and Miss Miller were
appointed as additional members of a committee
to see samples sent on May 2 3rd from Philibosian's,
Rich's, High's, Chamberlain's and Davison's.
Rugs are needed for the Rebekah Scott lobby.
Representatives from these five firms brought
samples from the factory, one sample from each
group voted on by the committee, and the final
decision to be made May 24th.

In the parlors of Main the davenport is to have

new springs and upholstering, new draperies and
portieres.

Thursday after college closes Miss Hopkins, Dr.
McCain, and Mr. Cunningham go over all rooms
on campus to see what repairs are needed, dupli-
cate copies of these needs are made and checked
off as repairs are made.

Our debating record shows Agnes Scott the
winner of the series of debates. At the suggestion
of Randolph-Macon, the triangular debate will be
discontinued. Sophie Newcomb will debate with
Tulane University and have interclass debates.

The Trustees have bought the house beyond Mr.
Tart's, Dr. and Mrs. McCain will probably move
there and their house will be used for students.
A student government representative will be in
each house next year. This year there are 3 70
in dining rooms, next year there will probably be
eleven at each table. Some faculty members may
"go out."

Miss Hopkins reported an interest in athletics,
as shown by Health Week, Play Day, and sending
a representative to the National Conference. Dr.
Sweet's report of the Health Department k)r the
year is good.

Elsa Jacobsen, outgoing president of Student
Government Association, and Janet MacDonald,
incoming president of Student Government Asso-
ciation, were present. Miss Jacobsen reported that
the book shop will be enlarged next year, the room
in Home Economics occasionally used now as a
kitchen may be fitted up as a store in which
may be bought books such as the Tabard Inn
now sells, stationery, soap, etc. The Athletic As-
sociation will sponsor this. Miss MacDonald re-
ported that there was a desire to continue debating
and if advisable to debate with one northern col-
lege. In answer to letters, Goucher had written
that she has no intercollegiate debating and Wel-
lesley had written that she had disbanded the
debating society.

Miss Bansley, president of the Day Student As-
sociation, expressed appreciation for the check
given by the Alumnae Association and reported
that they had bought a mirror and had six dol-
lars left for the beginning of next year. The
Y. W. C. A. had meant more to the day stu-
dents this year, largely through the work of
Augusta Roberts.

Ray Knight, representing Francis Hargis, the
incoming president of the Day Student Associa-
tion, reported that the day students desired a
closer contact with boarding students and that
they hoped to secure this through the Y. W. C.
A. She reported some money on hand for the
Day Student Cottage, but that the greater part
had been spent for things to be used this year.

Mrs. Wey, representative of the Atlanta Club,
reported purchases for the living room, thirty
cents in the treasury, and many plans for next
year.

Respectfully submitted,

MARTHA STANSFIELD,

Secretary.

GENERAL ASSOCIATION MINUTES

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Association met Sat-
urday afternm)n. May 2 8, In the College Chapel.

The meeting was called to order by the president,
Mrs. Guy, at twelve fifteen.

Reports were given by the President, Secretary,
General Secretary, Treasurer, Chairman of House
and Tea Room Committee, Chairman Beautifying
Buildings and Grounds Committee, Chairman of
Entertainment Committee; the General Secretary
reported for the Class Organization Committee by
saying that the numbers at reunion spoke for
themselves; the Secretary read reports sent by
chairmen of following committees: Publicity Com-
mittee, Preparatory Schools Committee, Curricu-
lum Committee, Vocational Guidance Committee,
and Alumnae Scholarship Aid League Committee.
Mrs. Thatcher moved reports of standing com-
mittees be accepted, voted on and carried.

President suggested that Secretary send Dr.
McCain a copy of the report of Curriculum Com-
mittee, voted on and carried.

Chairman of Finance Committee submitted pro-
posed budget with recommendations. Recom-
mendations accepted. Mrs. Thatcher suggested
a five dollar increase of fund for Entertainment
Committee to be taken from the miscellaneous
fund, voted on and carried.

Budget as a whole with this one recommenda-
tion voted on and carried.

Miss Nan B. Stephens gave the following re-
port for the Play writing Class: Last year six
completed the course, this year nine regularly en-
rolled and one special student completed the
course, writing a total of 20 one-act plays, nine
long plays and the dramatization of one long
novel. A club has been formed of the alumnae
members of these classes to write plays. Miss
Stephens suggested that a prize of $10.00 be
oflfered by the Alumnae Association for the best
one-act play and a prize of $2 5.00 for the best
long play written during the year and empha-
sized the importance of having these prizes come
from the Alumnae Association and congratulated
effort to start a worth-while work. Mrs. Donald-
son moved the annual prize be given. This was
voted on and carried.

The President announced that she had inter-
viewed Dr. McCain, who said that the college
would give $75.00 toward traveling expenses of
the General Secretary and add $100.00 to the
annual salary of the General Secretary.

Adjourned.

Respectfully submitted,
MARTHA STANSFIELD,

Secretary.

HOUSE AND TEA ROOM

Any report of the House and Tea Room Com-
mittee must begin with acknowledgement to
those who have contributed so largely to the
success of the year's work to Miss Polly Stone,
hostess of our house to Miss Florine Brown, man-
ager, and to Miss Carrie Scandrett, treasurer of
our tea room.

Our next acknowledgement must go to the
friends, who by their gifts have added so much
to the comfort and beauty of our home. From
Mrs. Samuel Young and her little granddaughter,
Miss Anna Young Eagan, we have the handsome
brass fender and andirons for the living room. We

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

33

feel grateful to a number of individual givers,
including several guests of the house who are
not alumnae namely Mrs. Horace Parker, of
New York, formerly Miss Ruth Pope of the
Agnes Scott faculty, who sent a very lovely
lamp for the living room table, and Miss Mary
Torrance, who sent vase and candlesticks.

From the home folks our most cherished pos-
session is the beautiful leather guest book which
Polly Stone brought from Italy, and which already
contains the names of such distinguished guests as
the English novelist, Hugh Walpole, the arctic
explorer, Roald Amundsen, and the New York
poet. Miss Louise Driscoll.

Our former president, Mrs. Thatcher, has pre-
sented us with some very useful scrapbooks in
which to keep pictures and clippings of various
alumnae activities to interest the returning alum-
nae. From Miss Florine Brown we have some
after-dinner coffee spoons; from Miss McKinney,
Dr. Sweet and Miss Lillian Smith, some very use-
ful linens, and from an unknown friend two
antique vases and a three-branch candlestick.

Several of the Alumnae clubs have shown
their love and interest this year in a very sub-
stantial way. Early in the year we received from
the Marietta club some linens, from the New York
Club a vase and some ash trays. The Atlanta club
has made a splendid start on their program for
refurnishing the living room and we are now the
proud possessors of a handsome new chenille rug
and window draperies topped by colonial brass
cornices. The Decatur Club, inspired by the At-
lanta Club, has undertaken to refurnish the dining
room. They have contributed rug and draperies
to match the living room and also a small hooked
step-rug between the two rooms. We are all look-
ing forward with eagerness to the completion of
the plans of these two clubs.

At their reunion in 1926, the class of '21 de-
cided to make a gift to the house, and in Sep-
tember they added a lovely silver tray to the
dining-room silver service. The gifts of the
classes which held reunions this May will be an-
nounced in the first issue of the Quarterly in the
fall.

The latest gifts to the house are a set of a dozen
brass fingerbowls, brought from China by Mrs.
Fairman Preston, and a lavendar silk coverlet
given by Annie Jean Gash.

The home-coming tea on Miss Anna Young's
birthday has, on the recommendation of the re-
tiring house committee, been made an annual
event. We were most happy to have with us this
year Mrs. Young and Mrs. Eagan, and we greatly
missed Mrs. Brown, who was kept away by ill-
ness. This tea was greatly enjoyed by all pres-
ent and was made the occasion for presenting a
number of the gifts which have been mentioned.

The following items have been cared for by
the house committee

Fund from alumnae budget:

Walls and woodwork cleaned.

Outside woodFork repainted.

Sofa and three chairs refinished and upholster-
ed.

VOCATIONAL GUIDANCE

Last year, while working on this same commit-
tee under Ruth Scandrett, '22, I wrote to about
six colleges getting their plans for vocational
guidance. Ruth and Katherine Seay did the same,
and Ruth got up a very complete report with
recommendations. Frankly, I do not see what
else can be done until those recommendations are
acted upon, as I think that Agnes Scott is work-
ing very efficiently with what machinery she has,
and until a definite employment office and voca-
tional guidance office is established with a paid
secretary, I do not see what else can be done.
Respectfully submitted,
QUENELLE HARROLD, '23,

Chairman.

CURRICULUM

Acting on the suggestion of Dr. McCain, the
Curriculum Committee has made a study of re-
cent developments in educational methods, which
have been the outcome of the belief that the
modern college must change its methods if it
would adequately prepare its students for life.
Numerous educators hold that the old watch-
dog methods of compulsory lectures, frequent
quizzes and limited cuts are childish and should
be discarded in part at least since they lead
the student to work for marks instead of knowl-
edge, and feed him a mass of pre-digested in-
formation rather than train him to think.

In many of our leading colleges new plans are
being introduced, with great success, which put
the responsibility of securing an education on
the individual student and force him to think
the only effectual means of developing real
scholarship.

Instead of the old mass of compulsory work, it

34

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

is now suggested to the students that they teach
themselves, by doing original work, both of re-
search and of creation. To assist them the col-
lege puts at their disposal its libraries, its lec-
ture courses, and its professors, who are to as-
sume the role of co-laborers and helpers rather
than taskmasters who camp on the students' trail,
with the idea that If left unguarded they will get
out of all the work they possibly can, and must
therefore be watched and driven.

The honors courses now being tried in various
Eastern colleges are designed to carry out this
idea of giving the student the responsibility of his
own intellectual development. At Swathmore Col-
lege, according to President Aydelotte "If a stu-
dent is accepted for a given honors course, he is
at once handed a statement of the field which he
must cover in his last two years. His one and
only job is to cover that field in such a fashion
as to be prepared to meet the severe examinations
which will be given him at the end of his course.
During his last two years in college the course
and hour system will not exist for him. His
instruction is largely individual. He may take
advantage of any courses and lectures offered in
college. He may be advised to attend some and
not to attend too many, but with him rests the
final decision. He takes the sole responsibility
for the success of his work and that success is
measured by examinations conducted not by those
professors who have taught him but by men who
have been brought in from other schools and col-
leges. The aim of the examiners is not so much
to find out what the student does not know as it
is to find out what he does know and then to
ascertain how well he knows that. It is the
thoroughness of the student's grasp of what he
knows best which is the real test of his in-
tellectual power . . . He is encouraged to
form the habit of acquiring general knowledge not
by attending a wide variety of miscellaneous
courses but rather by doing a great deal of gen-
eral reading. That is a much more economical
and a much more intelligent way of getting
genera! information, and the student who has
acquired the habit of general reading will con-
tinue that habit after his gradution from col-
lege, as most college graduates, I am sorry to say,
do not.

"I think the most important feature of the
whole honors system as it is being worked out in
this country, is the fact that it puts more re-
sponsibility on the student. We think too much
about effective methods of teaching and not
enough about effective methods of learning. No
matter how good our teaching may be, each
student must take the responsibility for his own
education, and the sooner he finds that out the
better for him."

"School and Society" of April 10, 1926, gives
the following description of honors courses at the
University of Wisconsin: "In the completion of
the requirements for the major study, the depart-
ment may permit upper group students to sub-
stitute individual work, under the guidance of
some member of the department for a prescribed
number of credits ordinarily earned in class. They
must be approved by the Dean. Students must

pass a comprehensive examination at the end of
the Senior year on the work offered for the major
both in the course and outside the course."

At Middlebury College this plan is followed:
A limited number of selected seniors are to be
given a chance to pursue independent study dur-
ing 1926-1927, not more than 10 per cent who
have made an average of 80 per cent or over. The
minimum work for the year under this system
must be equivalent to that required by ten ordi-
nary courses open to seniors, but may be done
entirely outside of classwork or in any combina-
tion of class and independent study upon which
student and adviser agree. Comprehensive oral
and written examinations at the end of the year
before a committee of the faculty consisting of
the adviser as chairman and two others invited
by him.

Honors courses have been introduced at Smith
College also under the following regulations:
Special Honors: Students who wish to become can-
didates for special honors should make applica-
tion before April 15 of their Sophomore year. Ap-
plication will be granted if (1): they have at-
tained an average of B in the first 3 semesters,
(2) they satisfy the department in which they
seek honors of their fitness to pursue the chosen
subjects. Each candidates is assigned to an in-
structor who serves as general director of her
course and arranges for special instructors in the
various subdivisions of the field. Special instruc-
tors may advise or require attendance on certain
courses or parts of courses; but honor students
are not generally expected to do the work in such
courses.

The work of honor students falls in eight units
the last semester of the senior year one unit
is devoted to a general review of the field to be
covered in final honors examinations. One unit
is devoted to the preparation of a paper. The
other six units are distributed among the sub-
divisions of her chosen subject as arranged by
the chief department concerned, and consist of
studies conducted under the direction of special
directors. Special examinations are given at the
end of the year (senior) covering all parts of the
field included in studies of both years.

The honor student may visit any course in
college with the permission of her special in-
structor and the instructor in the course.

At Barnard College special concessions are made
to exceptionally well equipped students who show
pronounced interest in any subject. If they so
desire they may substitute for the regular pre-
scribed curriculum a special course of study in
the subject of their choice and closely related
subjects. Students may rarely be admitted to
this course at entrance and only in case of ex-
ceptional maturity and promise. Usually they are
admitted as a result of conspicuous ability in col-
lege work, at the beginning of the sophomore or
junior year, provided they meet in September such
tests as the Committee on Instruction may deter-
mine.

The appropriate department then takes charge
of the student's work and subject to the ap-
proval of the faculty, arranges the course to be
pursued. A sound reading knowledge of French

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterl

35

and German is required before graduation except
in departments of modern foreign languages,
which may substitute other modern languages.
Previous to the senior year the manner of testing
proficiency rests with the department in charge.
In the senior year all regular examinations are
omitted, and at the end of the year the student
must pass a comprehensive examination in her sub-
ject as a whole. Honors students are exempt from
the technical requirement of 120 points for
graduation, from regular class attendance, and
from the system of grading.

"School and Society" for February 12, 1927,
writes of the Orientation courses which are de-
signed to orient the student in the college cur-
riculum to help him get his bearings in order that
he may approach the field of knowledge intel-
ligently. The orientation course is a pre-educa-
tional course to unify the material of the cur-
riculum. Its primary purpose is to train the
student to think and to introduce him to a gen-
eral survey of the nature of the world and man.
Such courses have been adopted at Amherst, Anti-
och, Brown, Columbia, Johns Hopkins, Leland
Stanford, Missouri, Princeton, Rutgers, and Wil-
liams.

Reed College has attacked the problem from a
somewhat fresh standpoint without the restraints
of traditional organizations. There the first two
years are directed to providing a historical back-
ground.

It is felt that the orientation courses should be
strengthened by a more systematic and conscious
relation to student experience.

So much for the plans which would develop
real, serious, and independent scholars who do
creative work, instead of the walking collections
of mechanically-memorized and soon-forgotten
facts which so many college students become under
the methods of strict compulsion methods which
leave undeveloped and often undiscovered, so much
of real ability.

A second charge frequently heard against Ameri-
can colleges for women is that they do not pre-
pare the graduates for life as it is to be lived out-
side the college walls. In answer to this charge
several women's colleges have introduced courses
to bridge this gap some of which were described
in the report of the Curriculum Committee last
year. However, it may not be amiss to quote
a description of the Connecticut course in The Art
of Living: The Primary Aim; Correlation of: (1)
the various fields of knowledge and of skill entered
by the student in her college career in the class
room, laboratory, etc., and (2) practical life in the
world of affairs into which the student is to go
after graduation. Twelve instructors represent-
ing the major departments in the curriculum are
co-operating. Lectures are given, also, at ap-
propriate places by the college president, a phy-
sician, and a lawyer. Review and quiz hours are
scattered throughout the year. A good deal of
reading is required, with critical reports. In gen-
eral each instructor requires an essay on some
topic in the field under study, based on class
notes and outside reading. The students find the
course interesting and profitable, judging from
their spontaneous, unsolicited reactions.

The committee feels that the new trends in edu-
cational methods herein discussed are most signifi-
cant and that it might be extremely profitable
for Agnes Scott to investigate the success of the
plans in the colleges where they are being tried.
First-hand reports on the plans would of course
be excellent as a means of determining the ad-
visability of adopting them at Agnes Scott.

PUBLICITY

During the past year the Publicity Committee
has sponsored the Agnes Scott Club in New York
which has enjoyed a number of delightful meet-
ings. One member of the club was asked to speak
before the American Association of College Women
on the history and organization of Agnes Scott
College. We have furnished information to a local
Parent-Teacher Association which is making an
investigation of women's colleges in the South in
order to recommend them to girls who are plan-
ning to go away to college. In March we took
active charge of the Alumnae Quarterly and have
been responsible for the April and June numbers.

Chairman;

RUTH SLACK SMITH,

LOCAL CLUBS

The work of the local club committee has been
largely preparatory this year for the actual busi-
ness to be done beginning in September, 1927.
Lists of alumnae addresses have been sent out to
be brought up to date by some alumna in each
town containing eight or more old Agnes Scott
girls. This has greatly assisted the work on the
alumnae register, also. We have seven old estab-
lished local clubs, and although only one new
one Memphis has actually been formed this past
year, all the preliminary work has been done for

i6

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

the formation of some dozen new local clubs in
the fall. Washington, D. C, alumnae have
already begun to shape themselves into a local club
with eleven members.

CLASS ORGANIZATION AND
RECORDS

The Dix system of reunions adopted this year
for the first time at Agnes Scott, will revolu-
tionize class reunions, we believe, and within a few
years, by the time it is working smoothly here,
and the alumnae thoroughly understand it, will
double and treble attendance at class reunion cele-
brations.

This year the classes of '94, '95, '96, '97, '02,
'07, '12, 13, '14, 15, '17, '22, '24, and '26, held
class reunions with one hundred and twenty-five
members back on the campus. The actual per-
centage of the classes is given elsewhere in the
Quarterly.

The silver loving cup, awarded each year to the
class with the largest percentage back, was pre-
sented to '26, the little sister class. Especial
praise goes to the classes of '13, '14 and '15, who
responded with such large numbers, when an-
nouncement of the class reunion was made to them
since Christmas.

New class secretaries were elected in many cases
by the reunion classes and work on next year's re-
union is beginning at once.

One member of each class has been appointed by
the president to keep up to date the class scrap-
book. These books were presented by a member
of '15 Mary (West) Thatcher and are to be
kept in the alumnae office, open for inspection
at all times.

The custom of presenting a gift of some kind to
the college or the Alumnae House on each re-
union is becoming more fixed each year. Last
year '21 gave a lovely silver service tray for the
Alumnae House, and this year, '22, '24, and '26
have made up funds for gifts, the nature of
which will be announced later, probably in the
November Quarterly.

There are a number of "round robins," which
have been circulating since graduation, and at
least one more was started this commencement.

The new alumnae class of '27 is entering the As-
sociation with a stronger class organization than
that of any preceding class: for the first time in
the history of Agnes Scott, the senior class has
joined the Alumnae Association one hundred per
cent! Elizabeth Norfleet is their life president,
and although they arc the largest class yet
one hundred and three they believe that with
their splendid organization they can keep in
touch with each other and keep their large class
unified on through the years.

Respectfully submitted,
ELIZABETH HOKE, '23,

Chairman.

ENTERTAINMENT

The Entertainment Committee, together with
the House and Tea Room Committee, was in
charge of the annual homecoming party on Miss
Anna Young's birthday in November at the Alum-
nae House; it entertained the senior class at
tea during April; and was in charge of tke dec-
orations for the luncheon given by the trustees
to the alumnae, faculty and senior class on Sat-
urday, May 28th, duirng commencement.

BEAUTIFYING BUILDINGS AND
GROUNDS

The work this year of the Committee on
Beautifying Buildings and Grounds has been limit-
ed largely to the completion of plans made last
year.

In February, Wachendorff Brothers, Florists,
made foundation planting around the new gym-
nasium. About this same time, all the other
shrubbery was carefully worked and fertilized.

To Miss Florine Brown, again, is due the
thanks of the Association for the work and in-
terest in the flower beds back of the Alumnae
House.

In the parlors, a much needed addition was
made by the new radiator covers, thus saving
the new finish on the walls.

The committee holds tentative plans for shrub-
bery planting around the proposed entrance gate-
ways and other corners of the campus.

Respectfully submitted,
EILEEN (DODD) SAMS, '23,

Chairman.

PREPARATORY SCHOOLS

In October, 1926, sixteen letters were sent to
Agnes Scott girls in sixteen different cities sug-
gested by Dr. McCain. One alumna represented
the preparatory schools committee in each of
the cities, and it was her purpose to interest high
school girls who might be good prospective stu-
dents in Agnes Scott. It was suggested that each
member of the committee should send to the
chairman a list of girls who would be desirable as
Agnes Scott students, and these in turn were to
be given to Dr. McCain.

Practically all of the members of the commit-
tee made some attempt to secure the desired lists,
but various circumstances interfered. Six, how-
ever, were successful. The cities from which
lists were received are Dallas, Richmond, New
Orleans, Little Rock, Nashville and Lynchburg.

The committee hopes during the next year to
do some constructive work for the college as we
believe we shall have a better understanding of
how to appeal to the high schools.

Respectfully submitted,
HILDA McCONNELL, '23,

Chairman.
