AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE
The purpose which has prevailed at Agnes Scott since its
foundation has been to offer the very best educational ad-
vantages under positive Christian influences the training and
furnishing of the mind in a modern, well-equipped college, and
at the same time the formation and development of Christian
character and ideals. Along with these ends, it is constantly
sought to cultivate true womanliness, a womanliness which com-
bines strength with gentleness and refinement. It is thus the
aim of the College to send out educated Christian women to be
a power in blessing the world and glorifying God.
The College was founded by Presbyterians, and hence its
moral standards and religious life conform as nearly as possible
to those which obtain in that church. Special care, however,
is taken not to interfere in any way with the religious views
or church preferences of students.
The College offers only the B.A. degree. There are, how-
ever, optional courses leading to this degree, thus giving the
opportunity for each student to elect a course most in accord
with her special talent and plans.
16 Agnes Scott College
ADMISSION OF STUDENTS
For several years the College has not been able to accom-
modate all of those seeking admission. There are four main
considerations for the acceptance of a student: (1) the ex-
cellence of her preparation, as evidenced by a certificate or an
examination; (2) her character and ability, shown by testi-
monials, and a psychological test; (3) a satisfactory health
report; (4) the date of her application for admission.
Since full data cannot be secured until the closing of the
various preparatory schools, as a rule it is not possible to give
definite acceptance of an applicant before June ISth. Selections
are usually made between this date and July 1st. The names
of applicants who cannot be accepted at the first period of
choosing are placed on a waiting list for spaces that may develop
later. In addition to the general list, the College maintains an
"honor group" for exceptionally well prepared applicants, and
these may often secure places even to the opening of the college
year.
Only graduates of four-year preparatory schools of recog-
nized standing, or applicants who can offer eqviivalent prepara-
tion, representing four years of work in a recognized institu-
tion, will be received into the College. (For the admission of
special students, see page 23.
Applicants for admission must not be under sixteen years
of age. Candidates for advanced standing should be of an age
corresponding to this rule.
A deposit of $25.00 is required of all students before room
space is reserved. This should be sent to the Registrar, either
in New York exchange or Postal Money Order, made payable
Admission of Students 17
to Agnes Scott College. If by local cheque, the usual clearing
house collection charges should be added.
The above deposit is credited on the September payment. If
for any reason the student finds it impracticable to attend
Agnes Scott and asks for the return of her fee, the request will
be granted provided it reaches the Collegt on or before June
30th, prior to the opening of college. After that date it will
not be returned unless the preparation of the applicant is in-
sufficient or unless the College finds it impossible to take her
on account of lack of space.
For entrance requirements, and for description of entrance
subjects, see below.
For admission by certificate, see page 24.
For entrance examinations, see page 24.

18 Agnes Scott College
A unit represents a year's study of one o the above sub-
jects in a standard secondary school, constituting approximately
a quarter of a full year's work.
It is understood that in choosing the elective units no re-
quired unit may be counted also as an elective unit, and also
that elective units may be counted only once.
The entrance requirement work in French, German and
Spanish may be done in College after entrance, but will not
count toward the degree.
Not more than three units may be offered in History and
Civics combined.
The maximum number of units allowed in Science is three.

men; (II) as conditioned Freshmen; (III) as irregular students;

20 Agnes Scott College
II. As Conditioned Freshmen, upon the presentation of
sixteen complete units chosen from the Hst of accepted subjects
on page 17; but lacking a maximum of two units of those
prescribed for unconditioned admission. These conditions in
prescribed subjects must be removed before the beginning of
the second year.
The following restrictions upon such conditions must be
observed:
1. The deficiency in no single subject (except in the case
of a modern language or Greek) shall amount to more than
a year of preparatory work.
2. Completed work to the following extent must be offered:
(a) English to the extent of four units.
(b) Mathematics to the extent of two units.
(c) Latin to the extent of two units, if the minor require-
ment be chosen, or,
(d) Latin to the extent of three units, if the major require-
ment be chosen.
III. As Irregtdar Students, without class standing, upon the
presentation of sixteen complete units chosen from the list of
accepted subjects detailed on page 17, including four units in
English and two in Mathematics.
These students are required to take a minimum of fourteen
hours of recitation a week, which may include Music and Art,
but at least nine hours must be in academic work.
Should they later desire to arrange their courses for the de-
gree, credit will be given them for work already done in the ,
College, but they must meet all of the entrance reqtiirements oi '
degree students.
di
Admission of Students 21
IV. To Advanced Standing. A candidate may be admitted
to any of the higher classes on the following conditions:
1. She must present:
a. An honorable dismissal from the college she has attended.
b. An official statement of entrance requirements and how
absolved.
c. An official statement of studies pursued for credit.
d. A catalogue of the institution with her completed covirses
marked.
e. An application for advanced credit properly filled out
upon a blank provided by Agnes Scott College for this pur-
pose.
Note. If the above certificates are not entirely satisfactory
a detailed statement of individual professors will be required.
2. She must satisfy the entrance requirements of this Col-
lege. If necessary, credits presented for advanced standing may
be used to satisfy any deficit in the entrance requiremnts.
If as few as ten units have been presented for entrance into
the college from which the candidate comes, no credit will
be given towards the degree for the courses that may remain
after deduction for entrance deficiency, except upon examina-
tion.
3. If she comes from a college which has been recognized
by the Agnes Scott faculty as having equivalent requirements
and standards for the B.A. degree, she will be given tentative
credit course by course, in so far as the courses are, in the
opinion of the heads of the departments concerned, eqtiivalent
22 Agnes Scott College
to courses offered in this College. An examination on the work
offered for advanced standing may be required at any time, if
the student's work should prove unsatisfactory.
4. If she comes from a college of liberal arts which offers
the B.A. degree, but whose standards have not been so approved,
she may, upon the recommendation of the Committee on Ad-
vanced Standing in consultation with the heads of the depart-
ments concerned, be admitted to courses which continue the
work of the courses offered for advanced standing. Upon the
satisfactory completion of these courses she may be given such
credit for the preliminary work as the heads of the depart-
ments involved may deem just, full credit being given only in
exceptional cases. No credit, except by examination, will be :
given for subjects not continued in this College, nor will the
degree be conferred upon such an applicant until she has com-
pleted at least sixty semester hours of work in this College. jj
5. If she comes from an institution not included in either
of the above classes, she will be required to take examinations
for any advanced credit she may desire.
6. No credit will be allowed for courses taken by correspon-
dence except by advanced standing examinations given by this
college.
7. The B.A. degree will not be conferred on any student 1
who has not completed at least thirty semester hours of work
in residence during the session immediately preceding gradu-
ation.
8. Applicants for advanced standing must have received a
merit grade on at least one-half of the hours presented for
advanced credit.
Admission of Students 23
Note. See pages 45-46 for additional details as to advanced
credits.
V. As Special Sttidents. In accordance with the regulation
prescribed by "The Association of Colleges and Secondary
Schools of the Southern States," candidates of maturity, who
are unable, for any cause, to present the entrance requirements,
may be admitted to such courses as they may be prepared to
take, provided these courses are not among those covered by the
entrance requirements. This provision is intended to afford an
opportunity to two classes of women: (1) Those who have com-
pleted their entrance requirements so long since as to render
them void; (2) Those whose preparatory work has been inter-
rupted in the past and never resumed. The following limitations
should be observed.
1. Applicants must not be less than twenty years of age at
the time of application.
2. They may not matriculate in any courses covered by the
entrance requirements without first satisfying the requirements
in those subjects.
3. They have no class standing. If they desire later to
transfer to the regular degree course, they must first satisfy the
full entrance requirements.
4. If they have completed the entrance requirements in
accredited schools not more than two years previously, they will
be expected to submit the certificates of such schools, and enter
as "regular," or as "irregular" students, and not as "special"
students.
24 Agnes Scott College
MANNER OF ADMISSION
Adraissio7t by Certificate. In lieu of entrance examinations,
the College will accept certificates from any high school, fitting
school, or seminary on the accredited list of the Association of
Colleges and Secondary Schools of the Southern States, or from
any school accredited by other college associations of equal stand-
ing, in so far as such certificates show the entrance requirements
to have been duly satisfied not more than two years prior to
the candidate's application for admission. Certificates should
be on forms provided by the College. These forms will be
furnished on application. The certificate privilege is granted
to schools only and not to private instructors.
Beginning with September, 1924, students applying for ad-
mission on the certificate plan have been given a psychological
test as an additional aid toward judging their qualifications.
The tests may be given at any place where suitable arrangements
for holding them can be made.
Admission by Exavtination. Candidates who are unable to
present satisfactory certificates may be admitted by examina-
tion, provided they have taken the required units under capable
instruction.
Examinations for admission are usually given in the spring.
They may be taken at the College or by special arrangement
at local schools. Applications for the giving of examinations
away from the College should be filed with the Registrar by
May 1st of each year.
Spaces in dormitories will not be held for students whose
entrance depends on fall examinations.
Any candidate applying for entrance examinations at dates
other than those appointed may be allowed to take them on
Admission of Students 25
the approval of the Registrar, but a fee of $2.00 will be charged

DESCRIPTION OF ENTRANCE SUBJECTS
ENGLISH
English, four units. The College entrance requirements of
the New England, Middle and Southern Associations of Colleges
and Secondary Schools constitute the entrance work in English.
The requirement has two branches, Rhetoric and English
Literature. The study of English should be continuous through-
out the four years of the high-school course.
I. Rhetoric and Composition, two units. It is hoped
that at least one-half of the high-school course in English will
be devoted to the work in composition and rhetoric, either as
a separate study or in connection with the work in literature,
as it is a prime essential to success in any branch of college
v.fork that the student be able to express herself, both orally and
in writing, with correctness and clearness.
To meet this requirement in composition:
1. There should be practice in writing, the equivalent of at
least one theme a week during the fotir years of her preparatory
course. She must be able to spell, capitalize, and punctuate
correctly; no candidate will be accepted whose work is notably
deficient in this respect. She must also have a practical knowl-
edge of English grammar.
2. There should be a systematic study of rhetoric. Particu-
lar attention should be given to the structure of the sentence,
paragraph, and v/hole composition.
The following books are recommended for study in prepara-
tion: Herrick and Damon's Composition and Rhetoric; Scott
Description of Entrance Subjects 27
and Denney's Composition-Rhetoric; Manly and Rickert's The
Writing of English; Brooks and Hubbard's Rhetoric; Webster's
English Composition and Literature; Shackford and Judson's
Composition-Rhetoric-Literature.
IL Literature, two units.
L Reading (1924-1927.) At least two selections must be
made from each of the following groups:
From each group two selections are to be made, except that for
any book in Group V a book from any other may be substituted.
Group L Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities; George Eliot,
Silas Marner; Scott, Quentin Duri'jard; Stevenson, Treasure
Island or Kidnapped; Hawthorne, Tbe Hoiise of the Seven
Gables.
Group II: Shakespeare, Merchant of Venice, Jtilius Ccesar,
King Henry V, As Yoii. Like It.
Group III: Scott, The Lady of the Lake; Coleridge, The
Ancient Mariner, and Arnold, Sohrab and Rustum; a collection
of representative verse, narrative and lyric; Tennyson, Idylls
of the King (any four) ; the Aeneid or the Odyssey in a trans-
lation of recognized excellence.
Group IV: The Old Testament (the chief narrative episodes
in Genesis, Exodus, Joshua, Judges, Samuel, Kings and Daniel,
together with the books of Ritth and Esther) ; Irving, The
Sketch Book (about 175 pages) ; Addison and Steele, The Sir
Roger de Coverley Papers; Macaulay, Lord Clive; Parkman, The
Oregon Trail; Franklin, Autobiography.
28 Agnes Scott College
Group V: A modern novel; a collection of short stories
(about 150 pages); a collection of contemporary verse (about
150 pages); a collection of prose writings on matters of current
interest (about 150 pages); two modern plays.
All selections from this group should be works of recognized
excellence.
2. Shidy and Practice (1924-1927.) This part of the prep-
aration presupposes the thorough study of the works named
below. The examinations will be upon subject-matter, form,
and structure. This requirement means that the student should
have been trained to use simple forms of narration, description,
exposition, and argument, in her own composition. In addition,
the candidate may be required to answer questions involving the
essentials of English grammar, and questions on the leading
facts in those periods of English literary history to which the
prescribed works belong. The books provided for study are
arranged in four groups, from each of which one selection is
to be made:
Group I: Drama. Shakespeare: Macbeth, Hamlet.
Group II: Poetry. Milton: V Allegro, II Penseroso, and
either Comus or Lycidas. Tennyson: The Coming of Arthur,
The Holy Grail, and the Passing of Arthur. The selections
from Wordsworth, Keats, and Shelley in Book IV of Palgrave's
Golden Treasury {First Series) .
Group III: Oratory. Burke: Speech on Conciliation with
America. Macaulay's Two Speeches on Copyright and Lin-
coln's Speech at Cooper Union. Washington's Farewell Address
and Webster's First Btmker Hill Oration.
DescPvIption of Entrance Subjects 29
Group IV: Essays. Carlyle: Essay on Burns, with a selec-
tions from Burns' poems. Macaulay: Life of Johnson. Emer-
son: Essay on Manners.
As additional evidence of preparation the candidate may
present an exercise book, properly certified by her instructor,
containing compositions or other written work.
It is taken for granted that the candidate will have com-
mitted to memory passages from some of the poems she has
read.
LATIN
All students entering the degree course must present the minor
requirement in Latin and are advised to offer the major re-
quirement.
Minor Requirement, three units. 1 or 2.
1. a, b, and c (as outlined below) admits to Course 03-04.
2. a, b, JEneid I-III, and one-half of the translation and all
the prose composition of c admits to course 01-02.
Candidates are urged to offer Minor Requirement 1 rather
than 2.
a. Latin Grainmar, one unit. A thorough knowledge of all
regular inflections, and the common irregular forms; the simpler
rules for composition and derivation of words; syntax of nouns
and verbs; structure of sentences, with special emphasis upon
relative and conditional sentences, indirect discourse, and the
uses of the subjunctive.
b. Ccesar or the equivalent, one unit. The amount of pre-
pared reading should be not less in amount than Csesar, Gallic
30 Agnes Scott College
War, Books I-IV. The early reading of the year may be "made"
or adapted Latin, e. g. the Argonauts or selections from other
Roman historians than Caesar and Nepos (Lives), but at least
one semester must be spent on selections from Cassar (Gallic War
and Civil War) . The examinations of College Entrance Board
and of Agnes Scott will be based on Csesar and Nepos and will
include grammatical questions, sight translation, and some simple
composition based on the vocabulary and constructions found in
Cjesar.
c. Cicero or the equivalent, one unit. The amount of pre-
pared reading should be not less than seven orations of Cicero
(counting the Manilian Law as two) . This reading may be
selected from Cicero (orations and letters) and Sallust (Catiline
and Jugurthine War) , but it must include Cicero, the first
oration against Catiline, the oration for Archias, and either the
Manilian Law or the impeachment of Verres, Actio Secunda, IV,
ch. 52-60 (The Plunder of Syracuse). Latin composition must
be included in the course. Examination on this unit will be
based on the orations required and will include sight translation,
composition based on the vocabulary and constructions found in
Cicero's orations, and questions on syntax, subject matter, and
historical allusions.
Latin Cojnposition. Those who receive credit for b and c
must be able to translate into correct Latin detached sentences
involving all regular inflections and all common irregular forms,
and illustrating the principal grammatical constructions found
in the prose authors read. To secure such ability, the preparation
must include a systematic sttidy of the main principles of Latin
syntax, and one period a week throughout each year should be
devoted to prose.
Translation at Sight. Candidates must be able to translate
Description of Entrance Subjects 31
at sight passages of Latin suited in vocabulary, construction and
range of ideas to the preparation secured by the reading indi-
cated above.
Major Requirement, four units. a, h, and c, of minor
requirement, and d, (as outUned below). Admits to Latin 10 L
d. 1. Virgil, or the equivalent, one unit. The amount of
prepared reading should not be less in amount than Virgil,
^neid, Books I-VL The reading may be selected from Virgil
(Bucolics, Georgics, and vEneid) and Ovid (Metamorphoses,
Fasti, and Trista) , but it must include yEneid, III and VL It
is recommended that -^neid, I, II and IV be included. The
examination will be based on ^Eneid III and VI, and either
iEneid II and IV or Ovid, Metamorphoses, Book I, 313-415 (Deu-
calion and Pyrrha); II, 1-328 (Phaethon) ; VII, 1-158 (The
Golden Fleece); VIII, 616-724 (Philemon and Baucis); X, 560-
680 (Atalanta's Race). If a candidate has read five books of
^neid and a part of the selections from Ovid equivalent in
amount to one book of the yEneid, she may, after answering the
questions on III and VI and translating the sight passages, select
from the examination the questions in the parts of ^neid II
and IV and of Ovid which she has studied. The examination
will include sight translation and questions on subject matter,
literary and historical allusions and prosody.
2. Latin Prose Composition. The writing of continuous
prose of moderate difficulty based on Csesar and Cicero. The
work of this year should include a thorough review of the prin-
ciples taught in the previous years.
Note. Each student, entering with four units of Latin, who
does not wish to continue Latin in College, is required to pass
an examination on the fourth entrance unit (d 1 and 2), unless
32 Agnes Scott College
she enters from a school belonging to the Southern Association
or a school of equal rank, students from which have entered
Agnes Scott and maintained an approved standard in Latin,
and unless she furnishes a satisfactory recommendation from
her Latin teacher to the effect that she is prepared for college
work.
Suggestions Concerning Preparation.
Exercises in translation at sight should begin with the first
lessons in which Latin sentences of any length occur, and should
continue throughout the High School course with suflScient
frequency to insure correct methods of work on the part of
the student. From the outset particular attention should be
given to developing the ability to take in the meaning of each
word and so, gradually, of the whole sentence ^just as it
stands; the sentence should be read and understood in the order
of the original, with full appreciation of the force of each word
as it comes, so far as this can be known or inferred from that
which has preceded, and from the form and the position of the
word itself. The habit of reading in this way should be en-
couraged and cultivated as the best preparation for all the trans-
lating that the student has to do. No translation, however,
should be a mechanical metaphrase. Nor should it be a mere
loose paraphrase. The full meaning of the passage to be trans-
lated, gathered in the way described above, should finally be
expressed in clear and natural English.
A written examination cannot test the ear or tongue, but
proper instruction in any language will necessarily include the
training of both. The school work in Latin, therefore, should
include much reading aloud, writing from dictation, and trans-
lation from the teacher's reading. Learning suitable passages
by heart is also very useful, and should be more practiced.
Description of Entrance Subjects 33
The work in composition should give the student a better
understanding of the Latin he is reading at the time, if it is
prose, and greater facility in reading. It is desirable, however,
that there should be systematic and regular work in composi-
tion during the time in which poetry is read as well; for this
work the prose authors already studied should be used as models.
GREEK
Students may offer for entrance in Greek either the minor
or the major requirement. The minor requirement is counted as
two units, and presupposes a study of Greek during two full
years, five recitations a week. The major requirement is counted
as three units, and presupposes three years of preparation, five
recitations a week. The ground which must be covered is
as follows:
1. For the minor requirement
a. Grammar: Inflection, etymology, and derivation of
words, syntax of nouns and verbs, and structure of the sentence
as treated in Allen's First Year of Greek, or its equivalent, must
be thoroughly mastered. Constant attention should be paid to
translation from English into Greek.
b. Xenophon: Anabasis, three books. Special attention
should be paid to Greek syntax and to the use of good Eng-
lish in translating. Thorough drill on translation from English
into Greek.
2. For the major requirement
The student must have completed the minor requirement as
outlined above and in addition have read three books of Homer's
34 Agnes Scott College
Iliad, or an equivalent amount in Homer's Odyssey. Constant
practice should be given in prose composition, in translation at
sight, and in Homeric forms and syntax.
FRENCH
Minor Requirement (admitting to French 101-102), two
units. The preparation for this requirement should comprise:
1. A thorough knowledge of the rudiments of grammar,
including the essentials of syntax with mastery of the regular
verbs and of at least twenty-five irregular models.
2. Abundant exercises in prose composition.
3. Careful drill in pronunciation and practice in conver-
sation.
It is urged that students be taught the tise of the alphabet of
the Association Phonetique.
It is essential that the candidate acquire the ability to follow
a recitation conducted in French and to answer in that lan-
guage questions asked by the instructor. She should also be
able to write in French a paragraph dictated from any book
of moderate difficulty.
4. The reading of at least three hundred duodecimo pages of
simple French from four authors.
The following grammars are suggested to candidates: The
New Chardenal, Complete Course, published by Allyn and

years, with four or five recitations a week, an examination will
be required even from students who present certificates from
accredited schools.
Major Requirement (admitting to French 103-104), three
units. To meet this requirement the candidate must present
the whole minor requirement and, in addition, the following:

the section of this Bulletin entitled "Description of Courses."
See page 119. It is recommended that texts be chosen from
contemporary rather than classical authors. It is further recom-
mended that some history of the Seventeenth Century be used
36 Agnes Scott College
as one text in order to give the student a background for her
college work in French literature. Malet's Histoire de France,
Deuxieme Annee, Hachette Freres, pp. 36-84 and 120-156 is
suggested.
Students are admitted to French 257-258 by examination only.

tations a week for a period of two years. If the work is done
in less time than this, admission, even from accredited schools,
will be by examination.
Major Requirement (admitting to German 2 51-252), three
units. The full work as given under the minor requirement.
In addition: (1) Thomas's Practical German Grammar, Part II,
in full; last half of Hervey's Supplementary Exercises to
Thomas's Grammar; or the equivalent of these two books in
grammar, prose composition, and syntax drill; (2) practice in

work emphasized, including poems from Heine, Goethe, and
Schiller, and the more difficult conversation idioms.
Note. If the third unit of the major requirement is offered
in addition to the full entrance requirement in other subjects, it
may be counted toward the degree. It is understood, however,
that this third unit includes five recitations a week for one
year. Students presenting the major requirement will be expected
to take an examination in conversation at least, since it is
essential that students of this grade be able to follow and to
take part with comparative ease in recitations conducted in
German.

One unit of credit may be received for a course in Civics
taken throughout the year, or one-half unit may be received for
a course taken in combination with American History. One-
half unit of credit may be allowed for a semester course in
Civics and one-half unit for a course in Economics, provided
these are taken in the last year of the high school. No credit
will be allowed for Economics alone. The total entrance credit
of History and Civics may not exceed three units.
SCIENCE
The student may offer one, two or three units from those
given below. Each should represent the work of one year, and

Description of Entrance Subjects 43'
MUSIC
One unit in the elective group may be offered in Music by
examination only. This examination covers theory and instru-
mental proficiency. The preparation for it may not be done
in College for College admission. For details of the require-
ments, see page 102. The examination may be taken only
at the College. Students are not advised to try for this unit
unless they have had unusual musical training.
In order to encourage the study of the Bible in preparatory

Department of Bible for approval before an examination will
be given.
(3) Credit will be given only after examination by the
College authorities.
44 Agnes Scott College
CURRICULUM
ADMINISTRATION OF THE CURRICULUM
REGISTRATION
Students report first to the Treasurer's office, where all
financial affairs are arranged; a card to this effect is furnished
them for presentation to the Registrar's office, where they are
registered and given their matriculation cards. They then meet
with the appropriate committees for classification.
Students are required to report to the Registrar's office after
the Christmas holidays before attending classes.
Note. If, for any cause, a student fails to register in time
to attend her first scheduled lecture at the beginning of a se-
mester, she is charged a fee of $5.00 for late registration. This
rule, which is automatic as outlined above, is also applied to
students returning late from vacations, unless their excuses are
approved by the Dean.
CLASSIFICATION
Students are expected to make themselves thoroughly familiar
with the plan of the curriculum and to arrange their courses so
as to conform with its demands. By so doing they will greatly
reduce the necessarily arduous work of the committees.
First year students present their cards to the Committee on
Admission, and their courses are selected with the advice of
this Committee. On or before April 15 th, all students at
that time in residence are required to file with the Registrar
tentative statements of their courses for the next ensuing year.
These programs are reviewed by the Committee on Electives
Curriculum 45
and approved or revised. The cards, with the courses entered
upon them in due form, are obtained from the Committee in
the fall, presented to the professors of the subjects, and, when
they have been properly signed, returned to the Registrar's
office.
After a course has been agreed upon by the student, with
the advice of the Committee on Admission or the Committee on
Electives, no change will be permitted, unless the question ot
the student's health be involved. All students must be definitely
classified within two weeks after their arrival at the College.
ATTENDANCE ON LECTURES
Students are required to attend their lectures regularly and
promptly. Absence from courses without due excuse results
inevitably in the loAvering of the student's standing. Profes-
sors are authorized to require students to make up work by
taking written tests covering the periods lost through absence,
whether the absence be excused or unexcused.
EXAMINATIONS
1. General examinations are held twice a year, in January
and in May. Failure to attend any of these examinations, for
any cause other than sickness, results in the dropping of the
delinquent from the student body. In case of absence from
examination because of sickness, the student will be given an
opportunity to take the examination in question at the regular
time set for re-examinations. (See below.)
2. Examinations for advanced standing upon work done in
some other institution, or in the summer, must be taken at such
time as may be arranged by the professors whose departments
46 Agnes Scott College
are concerned, provided that such examinations may not be
given later than December 15 th for the first semester's work.
These examinations for advanced standing shall be more ex-
tended than ordinary examinations. In case of a subject of
three hours' value, the examination shall be of at least five
hours duration. In case of subjects of less values, examinations
shall be of corresponding proportion. In case of failure on an
examination for advanced standing, no re-examination is per-
mitted. These examinations are given only at the College.
3. Any student desiring advanced standing credit by ex-
amination must pass such examination before being admitted
to any advanced course in the given subject. The latest date
at which any advanced standing examination may be given is
in September of the year following the admission of the student.
4. Re-examinations are allov/ed in the case of conditional
failure. These examinations for the first semester's work are
given in the second week of the second semester, and for the
second semester's work in the first week of the fall semester
next following. Those failing in the re-examination will be re-
quired to repeat the course in question or forfeit the credit.
In no case will more than one re-examination be allowed in the
same subject.
In case of unconditional failure in a subject, no re-examina-
tion will be allowed.
5. If for any cause students find it advisable to apply for
examinations at any other time than that announced in the
regular schedule, or arranged for by the professors involved,
such applicants must present the Treasurer's receipt for five
dollars ($5.00) for each examination, desired, before the pro-
Curriculum 47
fessors are authorized to give the same. Such examinations
are known as "Special" examinations.
This regulation applies to re-examinations as well as to gen-
eral and advanced examinations.
SEMESTER AND YEAR CREDITS
A semester credit is the value in hours of any course pursued
through one semester. Thus, if a course scheduled for three
hours a week for one semester be taken, the resulting credit
towards the one hundred twenty-four semester hours required
for the degree is three semester hours. A year credit is the value
in semester hours of a course pursued throughout the year.
Thus, a course scheduled for three hours a week for the whole
year will give a credit of six semester hours towards the degree.
SUMMER WORK
Students wishing to make advanced standing credits during
the summer must communicate their plans to the College Com-
mittee on Advanced Standing and secure permission to do the
summer work before entering upon it.
No credit will be given for work of an undergraduate nature
unless a "merit" grade is received. A student may not receive
credit by examination for a summer course in which she has
received a grade lower than "merit."
The credit for each course taken at a Summer Session is de-
termined by the Advanced Standing Committee, but the maxi-
mum credit which may be obtained in a six weeks' summer
session is six semester hours.
48 Agnes Scott College
LIMITATION OF HOURS
In order to prevent over-crowding of work, the following
regulation of the student's hours has been put into operation:
1. The maximum number of lecture or recitation hours a
week for Freshmen shall be fifteen, and the minimum fourteen.
2. The maximum number of lecture or recitation hours a
week for advanced students shall be seventeen, and the mini-
mum fourteen. Second and third year students may not take
the maximum number of hours a week unless they shall have
received merit grades in at last two-fifths of their work for the
preceding session. Fourth year students may not take the
maximum number of hours a week unless they shall have re-
ceived merit grades in at least one-half of their work for the
preceding session.
MERIT HOURS
Grades indicating the student's standing in any course are
oflScially recorded as follows: "A," excellent attainment; "B,"
very good attainment; "C," good attainment; "D," passable at-
tainment; "E," failure, with privilege of re-examination; "F,"
failure, without privilege of re-examination. The grades "A,"
"B," and "C," are known as "merit" grades. At least sixty of
the one hundred twenty academic semester hours required for
the degree of Bachelor of Arts must be of the merit grade, the
remaining hours of the course being made with a grade of at
least "D." At least twelve semester hours of merit grade must
be credited to the student each year after the Freshman year.
Exact grades are not announced to students, their reports
containing only the information: "Passed with Merit," "Passed,"
or "Failed."
Curriculum 49
Note. For a detailed explanation of the "Merit" require-
ments for admission to recognition in each of the three classes,
Sophomore, Junior, Senior, see notes preceding the oflScial
Register of Students, page 159.
REQUIRED RESIDENCE
The degree will not be conferred upon any student who has
not done at least one full session of work in residence.
AUTOMATIC EXCLUSION
Any student whose work is notably unsatisfactory at the
end of the j&rst semester is considered to have excluded herself
automatically from the College, unless by vote of the faculty
she be put on probation for the remainder of the year. If
at the end of the year she shall have failed to make credits to
the extent of at least fifteen semester hours in courses counting
towards a degree, she shall be considered to have excluded her-
self automatically from the College for the next ensuing year.
A student who fails for two successive years to meet the
requirements for advancement to the next higher class, auto-
matically excludes herself from the College, unless by vote of
the faculty she be allowed to remain on probation.
Note. In addition to the enforcement of the above laws,
the College reserves the right to request the withdrawal of
students who cannot remain in residence without danger to
their own health or to the health of others, or whose presence
is found to lower the moral tone of the College. Students
of this last class may be asked to withdraw, even though no
specific charges be made against them.

MUSIC
Professor Dieckmann
Mr. Johnson
Miss Bartholomew
Miss Douglas
Mrs. Johnson
The Music Department offers through its various courses in
the theoretical and practical study of music, in connection with
studies in the College, adequate facilities to fit students for a
professional life, and also to provide for the study of music as
a part of general culture or as an accomplishment. The aim is
to cultivate a more intelligent appreciation of the art, to un-
derstand its structure and its rich and varied literature, to know
the history of its development, its place in the general history of
culture, and to develop the power of interpretation.
Since no special line of study can be successful without a
broad foundation, students are urged not to undertake the study
102 Agnes Scott College
of music exclusively until they have acquired the essential
elements of a good general education.
With this end in view, the work of this department has been
rearranged, and courses are offered, so that regular College
students, working for degree, may include music as a second-
ary study, with credit for it, and special students of music may
avail themselves of the training oflfered in the literary courses of
the College.
Degree Credit
Credit toward the degree will be allowed for courses in music
under the following conditions
1. At the beginning of the session the student must pass
a satisfactory examination in Course 101-102 (see page 103),
and demonstrate a sufficient technical ability to play correctly
with regard to position of hands, fingering, phrasing, rhythm,
tempo, and dynamic effects works of the grade of the simpler
two-part inventions of Bach; C major and G major sonatas of
Mozart; and some of the simpler Songs Without Words, of
Mendelssohn.
Note. ^This requirement when offered at entrance into Col-
lege, will be accepted, upon examination only, as one unit in the
elective group. Only those who have had unusually good train-
ing are advised to try this examination.
2. Students who have met the above requirement may re-
ceive a credit for practical music to the extent of four hours a
year for three years upon the satisfactory completion of the
following work:
I
Description of Courses 103
a. Two lessons weekly of half an hour each in piano or organ.
b. One hour and a half of practice daily for six days each
week.
c. Theoretical work amounting to at least two credit hours
in addition to the four hours of practical credit.
3. The total possible credit in practical music shall not ex-
ceed twelve hours, and the total possible credit for practical and
theoretical music shall not exceed eighteen hours.
Note. If credit courses in Spoken English be likewise elected,
not more than eighteen hours of music and spoken English com-
bined will be allowed to count towards the degree.

BUILDINGS AND EQUIPMENT
The buildings of the college, thirty-six in number, including
several cottages occupied by members of the faculty, are sit-
uated upon a well-shaded and spacious campus of rare natural
beauty. With the exception of the White House, the Infirmary,
and the Laundry, all the principal buildings are substantially con-
structed of brick, with trimmings of granite, limestone, or mar-
ble. Readers of this Bulletin will be especially interested in
such of these buildings as form the working plant of the in-
stitution, and so the following brief description is given. Ap-
plication may be made to the Registrar for any special infor-
mation that may be desired concerning the halls of residence.
General Information 127
Academic Halls
The Agnes Scott Hall was the gift of the late Colonel
George W. Scott, the revered and generous friend of the College
by whose munificence its existence was originally made possible.
This building contains the offices of administration, besides
various lecture-rooms, reception rooms, the art studio, and piano
practice rooms. It is centrally situated and easily accessible from
all parts of the campus. (See also Residence Halls, below.)
The Carnegie Library Building, the gift of Mr. Andrew
Carnegie, is a two-story structure containing a lofty and spa-
cious reading-room, librarian's office, special department study
rooms, and stack space for twenty thousand volumes. The most
approved card-index system of cataloguing and the service of
a trained librarian render all books easily available to students.
The reading-room is supplied with the leading literary, scien-
tific and educational magazines, and with journals of music and
art. In addition to the general library, mention should be made
of the scientific library in Lowry Hall. The library is open
every day except Sundays and holidays, from 8 a. m. to 6 p. m.
and from 7 to 9:30 p. m.
The Lowry Hall affords excellent accommodation for the
departments of biology, chemistry and physics. It is equip-
ped throughout with all appliances necessary for the proper
teaching of these subjects, including electricity, gas, and hot
and cold water, both in the lecture-rooms and in the various
laboratories. On the left side of the main entrance is a bronze
tablet with this inscription:
"This Science Hall is perpetually endowed by Robert J.
and Emma C. Lowry in Memory of their Son, William Mark-
ham Lowry, Anno Domini, 1910."
128 Agnes Scott College
The department of biology contains two laboratories, a lecture
room, a professor's office, a vivarium, a photographic room, a
storage room, and a museum. The work of instruction and
research commands the aid of suitable apparatus, such as mi-
croscopes, microtomes, ovens, baths, charts and illustrative col-
lections.
The department of chemistry is well supplied with chemi-
cals and chemical apparatus and the laboratories have every
modern convenience that could be desired. Besides a large
basement, there are five commodious laboratories, a lecture-room,
a research laboratory, a professor's office, a library, three stor-
age rooms, and two balance rooms.
In addition to these laboratories a geological museum is be-
ing equipped, and already a considerable number of fossils and
mineralogical specimens are on hand.
The department of physics contains a large lecture-room,
a professor's office and reference library, a dark-room, a large
and well-equipped laboratory, and two store rooms.
Philosophy Hall, a two-story building, contains the lecture-
rooms of the departments of philosophy, education and English.
BucHER Scott Gymnasium-Auditorium. This excellent
building affords accommodations for some of the most useful
College activities. It is one hundred seventy-five feet long and
one hundred six feet wide. The main gymnasium room is ninety
feet by seventy, and there are two auxiliary gymnasium rooms.
The stage is eighty by forty feet and equipped with the modern
four-color lights. The auditorium has a capacity of nearly two
thousand people. The swimming pool room is eighty-two by
General Information 129
forty-two feet, and the pool itself is sixty by twenty-five feet,
the room and pool being tile lined. There are five offices for
physician and physical directors, four rest rooms, special quar-
ters for day students, and five rooms for general student activ-
ities.
Gymnasium Hall is a three-story building formerly used for
the physical education department, but now transformed into
recitation rooms. It also houses certain student activities.
Residence Halls
There are four residence halls, in addition to five cottages,
giving dormitory space for three hundred and fifty. All
these buildings are comfortably equipped, lighted by electricity
and heated by steam, and all contain both double and single
rooms. Each floor of every hall is furnished with conveniently
placed groups of bathrooms, with beds, and other necessary
equipment, including a clothespress or wardrobe for each oc-
cupant. Abundant fire escapes, together with hose, fire buckets,
and extinguishers on every floor, reduce to a minimum the
danger of fire; but as an additional precaution the residence
halls are under the constant and careful supervision of a watch-
man who is on duty all of every night.
The Agnes Scott Hall contains, besides the administra-
tive offices, lecture-rooms, etc., above referred to, dormitory
space for about seventy-five students.
The Rebekah Scott Hall, a memorial to the late Mrs.
Rebekah Scott, wife of Colonel George W. Scott, contains, be-
sides two dormitory floors, the College Chapel, the halls of the
two debating societies, a large dining-room, a commodious lobby,
130 Agnes Scott College
and various reception rooms. A colonnade connects this building
with the Agnes Scott Hall and thus renders available for the
latter building the dining-room of the former.
The Jennie D. Inman Hall, a gift to the College of the
late Samuel Martin Inman (for many years the honored Chair-
man of the Board of Trustees) , as a memorial to his deceased
wife, has three floors devoted entirely to bedrooms. The wide
veranda of the building is extended to meet that of the White
House, in which is located the dining-room for both these halls.
The White House affords accommodation for a number of
the ladies of the faculty, and has besides limited space for the
occupation of students. The entire lower floor of this building
is occupied by the dining-room, kitchen, pantries, etc.
Five Cottages situated on the campus offer accommodation
for about fifty students. These cottages are comfortably fur-
nished and supplied with all modern conveniences.
Auxiliary Buildings
The Anna Young Alumnae House was erected through
the joint efforts of the Trustees and the Alumnae in memory
of Miss Young, who was for twenty-one years a beloved teacher
in the College. It is a beautiful brick cottage, well eqtiipped
with a tea room for the use of the College community and with
facilities for taking care of guests. It is especially a home for
returning Alumnae and is under the general management of the
Alumnae Association.
The Alumnae Infirmary, a well-built, two-story house,
situated south of Lowry Hall, was added to the College plant
General Information 131
through the efforts of the Alumnae. The building has been
arranged so that it is admirably adapted to its purpose.
In recognition of the generosity and affectionate interest of
the Alumnae in their Alma Mater, the Trustees have named
the building The Alumnae Infirmary.
Electric and Steam Plant. Electric light and steam heat
are supplied to all the College buildings from a modern and
well-equipped plant situated on the south border of the campus.
Steam Laundry. A steam laundry, adjoining the electric
and steam plant, is operated for the benefit of the College com-
munity.

Notes
All who have engaged rooms prior to the opening of the ses-
sion will be charged from the beginning of the session or semester.
When a patron finds it necessary to request deferred payment
of bills when due, special arrangements must be made in ad-
vance of arrival of the student with the Treasurer, since no
student will be allowed to enter college where the financial ar-
rangements have not been perfected. In all such cases, the Board
of Trustees has directed that notes be taken bearing six per cent
interest from date payment was due.
This clause is not meant to indicate that the College makes
a practice of granting deferred payments, and the same are
not granted except for good reasons, which are satisfactory to
the Finance Committee, arranged through the Treasurer, at
least ten days prior to the date payment is due. Deferred pay-
ments will not be granted unless arranged in this manner, and
further, where such terms are arranged it is obligatory that such
notes will be met promptly on due date.
While the payment due January 1st, is to cover the second
semesters charge, the payment due at that time 7mi.st be paid in
order to hold dormitory space for the second term.
No student will be allowed to attend classes at the beginning
of any semester where her account is unpaid.
The Laboratory fee must be paid before entering classes in
chemistry, biology, physics or psychology for the entire session,
and will not be refunded for any cause. In addition a deposit of
Five ($5.00) Dollars, is required of chemistry students. This
will be refunded in May except so much as is necessary to pay
for breakage of returnable apparatus. This refund, if not
144 Agnes Scott College
claimed by the student, at the Treasurer's office, prior to Com-
mencement Day is automatically forfeited.
The College employs a resident physician and a resident trained
nurse. It also maintains an infirmary with the conveniences
of a modern hospital. The $10.00 medical fee assists in covering
the above expenses.
No student will be received for less than a full term, or the
portion of the term remaining after entrance. The professors
are engaged and all arrangements made for the scholastic year,
and the College obligates itself to furnish the advantages thus
provided for the session. The entering of a student is a corres-
ponding obligation on the part of the patron to continue the
student to the end of the session. In the event of withdrawal
on account of sickness of the student, the amount paid for board
and laundry in advance of date of leaving will be refunded, but
not amount paid for tuition.
Refunds are computed on the session charges during the first
semester and on the January payment for the second semester.
No DEDUCTION FOR ANY CAUSE WILL BE ALLOWED STUDENTS
AFTER March 15 th.
No claim for a refund for any cause will be considered un-
less it is filed with the Treasurer on or before the 1st of May
in the year such refund is asked.
Students who register for any "Special" must continue it for
the semester. The only exceptions to this rule will be the dis-
continuance upon the recommendation of the College Physician
or the faculty committee, and then the only grounds for non-
General Information 145
payment of the account or a refund, if paid, will be the health
of the student or such a heavy schedule of required work that
the "Special" can not be continued without injury to the student.
When permission has been secured from either of the above
sources it is obligatory upon the student to notify the Treasurer
within three days after permission has been granted. The fail-
ure to do this forfeits any claim for a refund. In the event a
"Special" has been continued for as long a period as six weeks
there will be no refund for any cause.
Correspondence concerning the general management of the
College, or concerning the welfare or interest of students should
be addressed to the President.
Correspondence concerning the life in the dormitories, or
health, or discipline of students should be addressed to the Dean.
It is recommended that each student be provided with $20.00
upon entrance to college in order that she may be able to pur-
chase the necessary books and stationery. These are sold by the
College at city prices for cash only.
It is hoped that parents will make only moderate allowance
to their daughters for spending money. When money is de-
posited with the Treasurer for students, it is paid out on their
checks, and no other account is kept by the College except
cancelled checks.
The College will not advance money to students.
In cases of protracted sickness or contagiotis diseases, parents
must provide a nurse at their own expense.
146 Agnes Scott College

a student at any time where the financial affairs have not been
satisfactorily arranged. In the event of such withdrawal there
will be no refund of any money previously paid.
The College exercises every precaution to protect property
of students, but will not be responsible for losses of any kind.
For the accommodation of students and teachers the College
receives packages for them, and the utmost care is taken to
have these packages properly delivered to the owners, but the
College will not be responsible for any losses that may occur.

No DISCOUNT TO DAY STUDENTS.
Parents must not expect to pay only for the time their daugh-
ters are in actual attendance. No student will be received for
less than a quarter of the session, and then only by special ar-
rangement with the President.

istered, after the beginning of the semester.
No reduction will be made for holidays.
No refund will be made where a student fails to retiurn after
the Christmas holidays.
The boarding department will be closed during the Christ-

the College for meals.
Furniture
The College supplies each room with bedstead, bureau, ward-
robe, washstand, chairs, mattress, pillows, and crockery. Each
student should bring with her sheets, blankets, counterpanes,
pillow-cases (3 5x22), towels, napkins, napkin-ring, teaspoon,
and any article, as rugs, curtains, etc., of use or ornament desired
for her room. The bedclothes should be the size used for single
or three-quarter beds.
All articles, including trunks, must be plainly and durably
marked with the name of the owner. Failure to comply with
this requirement causes great inconvenience and sometimes loss.
Arrivals at Night

of College in September are met, on request, by a representative
of the College, without charge.
At all other times a chaperone's fee of $2.50 will be charged
for meeting trains before 9 P. M. If two or more students are
met the charge is to be divided equally among them.
After 9 P. M. the fee is $5.00.
Students, when met under the above rule, are expected to

Guests
The College regrets that it has been found necessary to limit
the free hospitality it has heretofore extended. Since every space
in the dormitories is occupied by faculty and students, guests
cannot be entertained without serious inconvenience except from
Saturday to Monday. At such times, after consultation with the
Dean, vacancies caused by the temporary absence of students
may be utilized for guests at a charge of one dollar and fifty
cents a day. "Whether guests are being entertained for the week-
end or for a single meal, permission must be obtained from the
Dean and meal tickets procured at the business office.
The above regulations do not apply to the Alumnas. When
they desire to visit the College they are asked to communicate
with the Dean stating the date and the length of the proposed
visit.
All guests are expected to conform to the dormitory regu-
lations.
STUDENT ACTIVITIES
The student organizations and publications occupy a most
important place in the community life of the College, and are
commended as valuable educational aids in the work of training
young women for the highest efficiency. It will be evident
that these enterprises entail a certain amount of financial ex-
penditure. In order to reduce this expense to a minimum, and
at the same time to insure the continued life and activity of the
various necessary developments of the student body, a general
co-operative plan has been devised by the students, as follows:
150 Agnes Scott College
At some time in the early fall, an opportunity is given to all
students to contribute $10.00 toward the general support of
College community enterprises for the fall semester. At the
beginning of the spring semester, a similar opportunity is given
for a contribution of $5.00 for the remainder of the session.
Thus, by the paying of Fifteen ($15.00) Dollars in the course
of the year, the student is relieved of the frequent assessments
which would otherwise be necessary. This contribution is of
course entirely voluntary, but it would be well for those who
are interested in the general activities described below to under-
stand approximately what financial demand will be made upon
them, and to come prepared to meet it.
Note. The organizations here named are those involving
the entire student body. The various other organizations, lit-
erary, dramatic, honorary, and social, are, of course, limited in
membership and so are not covered by the $15.00 of the budget
system.
Organizations
The Student Government Association. This organiza-
tion, based upon a charter granted by the faculty, has for its
purpose the ordering and control of the dormitory life and of
most other matters not strictly academic. Its membership in-
cludes all the students. The most gratifying results have con-
tinually followed the increase of opportunity and of responsi-
bility thus given to the students, especially in the development
of self-restraint, consideration for the majority, and the true
co-operative spirit.
Young "Women's Christian Association. The objects of
this Association are:
General Information 151
To develop the spiritual life of the students.
To co-operate with other student associations in the general
work of the Young Women's Christian Association.
To do all possible to advance the Kingdom of God.
The various departments of the Association work are well or-
ganized and render efficient service. The Association has the
sympathetic interest and support of the faculty, while the stu-
dent body, with few exceptions, are members. The leaders
among the students are also the leaders in this work, and thus
the organization wields a large influence for good.
Athletic Association. Athletic sports, not including the
regular gymnastic classes, are managed by the Athletic Associa-
tion. Hockey and basket-ball are the leading sports in the fall
and winter months, while the annual tennis tournament is the
spring event. An athletic field affords excellent opportunities
for out-door basket-ball, tennis, and field hockey.
Public Lecture Association. An organization of students
and faculty has been formed for the purpose of inviting noted
speakers, from time to time, to address the College community.
These lectures are likewise open to the public upon the payment
of a small fee.
Publications
The students issue the following publications:
The Aurora. A quarterly magazine devoted to the develop-
ment of literarv effort among the students.
152 Agnes Scott College
The Silhouette. The annual, published by the student
body. It is intended to give, in humorous and artistic vein,
a record of the student life for the current year.
The Agonistic. A weekly newspaper published by the
student body. It has as its object the promotion of loyalty to
the College and the dissemination of local news.
The Y. W. C. A. Handbook. A manual of information
issued annually by the Association.
RELIGIOUS LIFE
Every effort is made to promote earnest and pronounced
religious life in the College. Students are requested to select the
church they desire to make their church home as soon as
practical after arrival. Ordinarily this must be the church of
their parents. They are expected to attend this church on Sun-
day morning. Attendance on daily morning prayers is re-
quired.
The regular Sunday evening service and the mission study
classes, conducted by the Young Women's Christian Association,
are largely attended, as is also the tri-weekly vesper service in
the chapel under the leadership of members of the faculty.
APPOINTMENT COMMITTEE
The faculty has appointed a Committee with a view to as-
sisting Agnes Scott students in securing positions. All grad-
uates and other students of the College who desire to teach or do
other work are invited to apply for registration blanks, fill them
out and file them with this committee. Address the Registrar.
General Information 153
ALUMNAE ASSOCIATION
During the Commencement of 1895 the Agnes Scott Alum-
nae Association was organized. The purpose of the Associa-
tion is to promote the welfare of the College and its alumnae
by increasing the interest of its members in the College and in
each other.
The work of the general Association is conducted largely
through the Alumnse Council and the standing committees, the
annual meeting being held in Atlanta during Commencement
week. Two alumnse represent the Association on the Board of
Trustees.
The Association has established the Agnes Scott Aid League,
which will lend money to students who need to borrow in
order to complete their College course. Not more than $150.00
will be loaned to any student in one year. These loans do not
bear interest and are to be repaid whenever the student shall be
in a position to do so.
Applications for loans should be made to the President of the
Association through the President of the College.
The ofl&cers of the Association are as follows:
President Mrs. S. E. Thatcher, '15, 160 Lull water Road, At-
lanta.
First Vice-President Mrs. J. Sam Guy, '13, 65 N. Decatur
Road, Atlanta.
Second Vice-President Mrs. Milton C. Scott, '15, 306 Avery
St., Decatur, Ga.
154 Agnes Scott College
Secretary Miss Martha Stansfield, '21, Agnes Scott College,
Decatur, Ga.
Treasurer Miss Carrie Scandrett, '23, Agnes Scott College,
Decatur, Ga.
General Secretary Miss Polly Stone, '24, Alumnse House,
Agnes Scott College, Decatur, Ga.
BEQUESTS
Gifts to the College may take the form of funds for the
establishment of scholarships or professorships; of additions to
the material equipment; or of contributions to the general en-
dov/ment fund. Special conditions may, of course, be attached
to any gift.
Form of Bequest
I give and bequeath to Agnes Scott College, a Corporation
established by law in the Commonwealth of Georgia, the sum of
$ to be invested and preserved inviolably for
the endowment of Agnes Scott College, situated at Decatur,
Georgia.
