AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE
History and Purpose
Agnes Scott is a privately controlled college of liberal
arts for women offering courses leading to the Bachelor
of Arts degree. The College is located on a sixty-two acre
campus at Decatur, Georgia, in the metropolitan Atlanta
area. Its student body averages six hundred and comes
from more than half of the states and several foreign
countries. Permanent assets amount to more than $13,500,-
000, of which $8,250,000 is in endowment.
The College was founded in 1889 as Decatur Female
Seminary, renamed Agnes Scott Institute in 1890 in honor
of the mother of the founder, Colonel George W. Scott,
and chartered as Agnes Scott College in 1906. Its three
presidents have been Frank Henry Gaines (1889-1923);
James Ross McCain (1923-1951) ; and Wallace McPher-
son Alston (1951- ).
Agnes Scott was founded by Presbyterians and has al-
ways maintained a close relationship to that church. The
College is not controlled or supported by the church, how-
ever, and special care is taken not to interfere in any way
with the religious views or church preferences of students.
A commitment to the liberal arts program, insistence
upon quality in education, and emphasis on the develop-
ment of Christian character are foundation principles of
the College. Strengthening these purposes are small classes,
close faculty-student relationships, continuity of leadership,
and a varied program of student activities. On completion
of the Bachelor of Arts degree, students interested in
careers enter immediately or after further study a
variety of fields which include teaching, religious education,
business, medicine, research, government, and social service.
Fifteen to twenty per cent of each class take advanced
work on the graduate or professional level.

Educational Recognition
In 1907 Agnes Scott was admitted to membership in the
Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools.
In 1920 the College was placed on the approved list of
the Association of American Universities and in 1926 it
was granted a charter by the United Chapters of Phi Beta
Kappa. It was a charter member of the American Associa-
tion of University Women and of the Southern Univer-
sity Conference.
University Center
Participation in the University Center, a group of seven
institutions of higher learning in the Atlanta area, provides
social and educational resources beyond the limits of the
college campus. In the group are Emory University, Geor-
gia Institute of Technology, the University of Georgia
at Athens, Columbia Theological Seminary, Atlanta Art
Association, Oglethorpe University, and Agnes Scott Col-
lege. Chief features of this cooperative program are
reciprocity in library services, exchange of instructors,
provision for visiting scholars, and the avoidance of dupli-
cation and overlapping in certain areas of instruction.
ADMISSION OF STUDENTS
Agnes Scott has a resident student capacity of approxi-
mately five hundred and fifty. Total enrollment, including
resident and non-resident students, averages six hundred.
Applicants whose homes are not in the local community
must apply for admission as resident (boarding) students.
Exception may be made if they can live with close relatives.
Correspondence regarding admission should be addressed
to the Director of Admissions.
Admission to the Freshman Class
There are two plans of admission : ( 1 ) the Regular
Plan, which is open to the majority of applicants, and (2)
the Early Decision Plan, which is open to a small group
of applicants who are ready by October of the senior year
in high school to certify that Agnes Scott is their first-
choice college and who have followed instructions outlined
in Item 4 of this section.
In determining admission, the Committee on Admissions
considers the candidate's academic preparation, general
ability and interests, character, personality, and health.
Criteria for judging admission qualifications include the
high school record with statement of graduation and
rank in class. College Entrance Examination Board test
results, principal's recommendation, health report, and ad-
ditional personal data which the College secures.
1. Academic Preparation. Agnes Scott believes that
courses taken in high school should be relevant to
courses offered in college in order to provide continuity
in the total program of study. Skill in English composition,
ability to read with comprehension, some competence in at
least one foreign language, and some understanding of
18
Admission of Students 19
scientific principles and methods are important in prepara-
tion for the program here; preference will be given to
applicants who present evidence of this preparation.
Candidates for admission are expected to take a minimum
of four academic subjects during each of the four years in
high school. The following subjects are strongly recom-
mended or required:
English composition, grammar, and literature; four years required.
College preparatory mathematics, including plane geometry; three
years recommended.
Foreign language: three or four years in one foreign language
(preferably Latin), or two years in each of two foreign lan-
guages recommended. A minimum of two years in one foreign
language required. No entrance credit given for a single year
in a language.
Science: one or more laboratory sciences (biology, chemistry, or
physics) recommended.
History: two years (preferably European and United States
history) recommended.
Elective credits may be chosen from the foregoing sub-
jects. Credits may also be presented in art history and ap-
preciation; Bible; and music theory, history, and appre-
ciation. No entrance credit is given for physical education,
glee club, band, and other extra-curricular activities. While
typing is considered a helpful skill, it should not be offered
as one of the sixteen entrance credits.
It is advisable that prospective applicants send during
the junior year, or earlier, an informal statement of courses
taken and grades made. A form for the purpose may be
obtained from the Admissions Office.
2. Filing of Application (Regular Plan). The applica-
tion for admission form may be secured on or after
September 1 of the candidate's senior year in high school
and may be filed on or after October 15. It should be filed
before February 15 except in the case of scholarship appli-
cations. A statement regarding admission and scholarship
20 Agnes Scott College
procedure is mailed with each application form and should
be studied carefully by the applicant.
On receipt of the application for admission, the College
will forward to the candidate a certificate form for the
high school record; this transcript is to be sent directly
by the high school to the Admissions Office. If the applica-
tion and transcript are filed prior to the end of the first
semester, the College will then send to the candidate in
late January a form on which she may record her first
semester grades. At the end of the school year, the College
will forward directly to the high school a form on which
the official record for the entire senior year, including
statement of graduation, may be recorded.
3. Scholastic Aptitude and Achievement Tests. All ap-
plicants (except those accepted on the Early Decision
Plan) must take, during the senior year, the Scholastic
Aptitude Test and three Achievement Tests of the College
Entrance Examination Board. No special preparation is re-
quired; scores made are only one of several items consid-
ered in measuring the candidate's ability and academic prep-
aration. The Scholastic Aptitude Test should be taken in
December or January; the Achievement Tests are to be
taken in March (or in December by a mid-year graduate).
Three Achievement Tests are required: the English test
and two other tests preferably a foreign language test
and a test in either mathematics, social studies, or science.
The candidate should write to the College Entrance Ex-
amination Board for a Bulletin of Information, which con-
tains an application blank, rules regarding applications, lists
of examination centers, and information about tests. The
address of the Board is Box 592, Princeton, New Jersey,
or (for candidates who live in western states) Box 27896,
Los Angeles 27, California. The application should be com-
pleted and mailed to the Board, with the appropriate fee,
several weeks in advance of the testing date.
Admission of Students 21
The Board has set the following examination dates for
the remainder of the academic year 1958-1959: February
14, March 14, May 16 (primarily for high school juniors).
Dates for the 1959-1960 series are December 5, January
9, February 6, March 12, May 21 (primarily for juniors).
High school juniors who are interested in this college
are urged to take (for practice purposes) the Scholastic
Aptitude Test in March or May; they should request the
College Entrance Examination Board to forward the
results to Agnes Scott. Those Interested in the test program
for the Early Decision Plan should read Item 4 below.
4. Filing of Application (Early Decision Plan). Candi-
dates who have decided that Agnes Scott is their first
choice and who will certify that they are not applying to
any other college until informed of the action of the Agnes
Scott Admissions Committee may apply for admission on
the Early Decision Plan. They must have taken the Scho-
lastic Aptitude and three Achievement Tests of the College
Entrance Examination Board in May of the junior year (or
the Scholastic Aptitude Test in March and the Achievement
Tests in May) . Full details, including the special application
for Early Decision, are to be secured from the Admissions
Office on or after September 1 of the senior year; appli-
cation is to be filed by October 15 (or October 1, if scholar-
ship assistance is requested) . Candidates will be notified
by early December of the action of the Committee.
Candidates accepted on the Early Decision Plan agree,
if they wish a place held in the freshman class, to make a
non-refundable payment by February 15 ; this payment rep-
resents a portion of the total expenses for the freshman year
and, In the case of boarding students, takes the place of
the room-retaining fee due on July 1.
The Early Decision Plan Is designed to assure unusually
well-qualified applicants of admission to their first-choice
college. Those who do not qualify on this Plan, or who
have not made a college choice by October 15, are under
22 Agnes Scott College
no handicap when their applications are considered later
In the year, on the Regular Plan.
5. Acceptance of Application. Candidates for admission
on the Regular Plan are mailed acceptance letters In the
spring. Acceptance of an application (Regular or Early
Decision Plan) assumes the satisfactory completion of
courses in progress and a satisfactory medical report.
6. Medical Report. Each new student is required to
submit a certificate of complete examination by her family
physician, a certificate of successful vaccination within six
years, a certificate of prophylactic immunization against
tetanus, a report on a recent chest X-ray, and a complete
medical history report. Instructions and forms for this
report are mailed in May and must be returned to the
College Physician by August.
7. Advanced Placement Tests. Students who wish to
be admitted to more advanced courses than those offered
in the regular freshman program may write to the College
Board Advanced Placement Examinations, Box 592, Prince-
ton, New Jersey, for application blanks, or may secure the
information from their schools. The examinations will be
given in May. Students who have not had special prepara-
tion beyond regular secondary school level work are advised
not to register for these examinations.
8. Assignment of Rooms and Roommates. Rooms and
roommates are assigned by the Dean of Students and her
staff in late August and early September. Information
about assignments Is not available until the student arrives
In September. However, special requests regarding rooms
or roommates may be filed with the Admissions Office for
referral to the Dean of Students. Such requests will be
honored If possible. Date of application Is one of the con-
siderations In assigning rooms.
Admission of Students 23
Admission to Advanced Standing
A limited number of students from other institutions may
be admitted each year to the sophomore and junior classes.
Each applicant must fulfill the requirements for admission
to the freshman class, using her transferred credits if
necessary. She must present transcripts of her high
school and college records, a copy of the college catalogue
with the courses taken indicated, a statement of honorable
dismissal, and the results of the Scholastic Aptitude Test
of the College Entrance Examination Board. Because
admission on this basis is limited, the College advises only
those students to apply who have made good records and
who have followed a course corresponding to the Agnes
Scott program. All credits are tentative and dependent on
satisfactory work at Agnes Scott.
Candidates for the degree must complete the work of the
junior and senior years in this college.
Appointments at the College
Visitors are welcome. The admissions office is open (ex-
cept during holiday periods) on Monday through Friday
from nine to twelve and two to four and on Saturdays
until noon. An appointment should be made in advance in
order that the student may talk with a member of the
admissions staff and have the opportunity of seeing the
campus with a guide. If an appointment cannot be made
at the College, it is possible that an interview can be
arranged in or near the applicant's home or school.
ADMINISTRATION OF THE
CURRICULUM
Registration
Each Student is required to register at the beginning of
the fall quarter. A student who fails to complete her regis-
tration during the announced registration period is charged
a fee of $5.00.
Each student is required to register before attending
her first class in the winter quarter. A student who returns
from Christmas vacation in time to attend her first class,
but who fails to register before doing so, is subject to an
automatic penalty of a $5.00 late registration fee.
A student returning late from Christmas vacation is
subject to the penalty of a $5.00 late registration fee unless
her absence is excused by the Committee on Absences. If
the absence is not excused, the student loses the privilege of
voluntary class attendance for the winter quarter or, if she
is already ineligible for the privilege of voluntary class
attendance, is subject to the unexcused absence penalty
imposed on students who are on the excuse system.
Selection of Courses
Students are expected to make themselves thoroughly
familiar with the plan of the curriculum and to arrange
their courses to conform with its requirements.
During the spring quarter of each year, all students in
residence file with the Registrar cards indicating tentative
course selection for the next session. These course cards are
approved or revised by the Committee on Courses for Up-
per Classmen. At the time of registration in September,
24
Administration of the Curriculum 25
the cards are obtained from the Committee and presented
to instructors for signature at the first meeting of each
class. They are then returned to the Registrar's office.
Credit Hours
Three quarters make up the college year. Credit for
courses taken is given in terms of quarter hours. A course
scheduled for three hours a week for one quarter will give
a credit of three quarter hours toward the one hundred
eighty quarter hours of academic work required for the
degree. A course scheduled for three hours a week for the
entire college year will give a credit of nine quarter hours
toward the degree.
The quarter hour is mathematically equivalent to two-
thirds of a semester hour.
Limitation of Hours and Courses
The maximum number of credit hours a week for fresh-
men is sixteen and the minimum fourteen.
The maximum number of credit hours a week for sopho-
mores, juniors, and seniors is eighteen and the minimum
fourteen. Permission to carry eighteen hours is restricted
to students who have made a B average for the preceding
quarter; such permission is granted by the Committee on
Courses for Upper Classmen.
Not more than two courses, or a total of ten quarter
hours, may be taken under any one instructor in any given
quarter.
Not more than twenty-five hours may be taken in one
subject in any one session, and not more than sixty-three
hours in one department may be presented for the degree.
(See statement under Major and Related Hours.) If more
than sixty-three hours are elected in one department, they
26 Agnes Scott College
must be in excess of the one hundred eighty required for
the degree.
Students who entered the junior class (class of 1960)
by transfer and all students (beginning with the class that
entered in 1957) are subject to the following rules con-
cerning the level of courses elected in the junior and senior
years :
1, Not more than thirty-six hours in the junior and senior years
may be in courses below the 300 level; hours in excess of
thirty-six in 100 and 200 level courses must be in excess of
ninety total hours earned in the junior and senior years.
2. Not more than nine hours in the senior year may be in 100
level courses except by permission of the major professor, the
Dean of the Faculty, and the Committee on Courses.
Students may audit courses only with written permission
from the Dean of the Faculty. Such permission is given in
a limited number of cases; the student's previous academic
record, the number of credit hours being carried, and the
recommendation of the major department are factors con-
sidered.
Course Changes
A course of study which has been approved cannot be
changed without the permission of the appropriate course
committee. No new course may be elected after the first
ten days of a quarter. No course may be dropped after
the second Tuesday in November for the fall quarter, the
second Tuesday in February for the winter quarter, or the
first Tuesday in May for the spring quarter; exception
may be made only with the permission of the appropriate
course committee and the Dean of the Faculty.
Class Attendance
Attendance at all academic appointments is required of
all freshmen during the first quarter, of those fresh-
Administration of the Curriculum 27
men during the second quarter whose grade in any academic
subject is below C, of students on the ineligible list, and of
students who for any reason are on probation. It is expected
that other students will keep all academic appointments and
will not be absent without just cause. The responsibility
for any work missed because of absence rests entirely upon
the student.
Attendance at tests announced a week in advance is man-
datory. Attendance at classes is required the day before and
the day after a holiday.
Examinations
General examinations are held at the end of each quarter.
Attendance is required. A student absent from examination
because of illness may take the examination in question at
the regular time scheduled for re-examinations (see below) .
A student absent without excuse from the Dean of Students
or the physician is automatically excluded from college.
Re-examinations are permitted in the case of conditional
failure. These examinations are given in the first week of
the quarter following failure. Those failing in a re-examina-
tion are required to repeat the course or forfeit the credit.
A "special" examination is given only with the permission
of the Dean of Students in response to a written request
from the student. If permission is granted, the student must
present the Dean of Students' receipt for $5.00 before the
instructor is authorized to give the examination.
Grading System
Grades indicating the student's standing in any course are
officially recorded as follows: A, excellent attainment; B,
good attainment; C, average attainment; D, passable at-
tainment; E, failure with privilege of re-examination; F,
failure without privilege of re-examination.
28 Agnes Scott College
Grades are evaluated by a quality point system : A = 3
quality points per quarter hour, B = 2, C = 1,D==0.
For a statement of the grade and quality point requirements
for class standing and for graduation, see sections on Clas-
sification of Students and Requirements for the Degree.
Automatic Exclusion
A student whose work is very unsatisfactory at the
end of any quarter may be asked to withdraw from the col-
lege or may be put on probation for the remainder of the
year. If by the end of the session a student has failed to
earn at least thirty quarter hours of degree credit in aca-
demic work she is automatically excluded for the next year.
A student who fails for two successive years to meet the
requirements for advancement to the next higher class is
automatically excluded.
A student whose continuance in college may Involve dan-
ger to her own health or to that of others may be asked to
withdraw.
A student who is not in sympathy with the ideals and
standards of the College or who is not mature enough for
its program may be asked to withdraw. In such cases the
judgment of the administrative officers is sufficient, and it
is not necessary that specific charges be made.

Degree Requirements 31
English 101; a foreign language; a science and/or mathe-
matics. Since two courses in Group 3 are required for the
degree, it is generally advisable to take one in the fresh-
man year; in this field, History 101 and Classics 150 are
open to first-year students. Courses in art, Bible, music,
and speech are also available.
Major and Related Hours
The major and related hours must be planned by each
student in the spring quarter of the sophomore year and
approved by the department concerned.
The major department shall control a minimum of fifty-
one quarter hours and a maximum of sixty. The hours
shall be distributed as follows: thirty-six to fifty-one
quarter hours in one subject, including the basic course,
and nine to twenty-four quarter hours in closely related
fields, with a minimum of nine in one department. An ex-
ception may be made in the departments of Art, Music,
History and Political Science, and Economics and Sociology,
where the major may consist of fifty-one to sixty hours with-
out related work in another department. Exception may
also be made in the department of Chemistry for students
who wish to meet the requirements of the American Chem-
ical Society.
The limitation upon the number of hours In the major
subject does not apply in the case of courses which may not
be counted in the major (Music 101, elementary modern
language, for example). However, no more than sixty-three
hours may be taken In the major department unless the
excess hours represent work beyond the one hundred eighty
hours required for the degree.
The independent study program is not included in any
of the above limitations.

the Committee on Courses for Upper Classmen, the stu-
32 Agnes Scott College
dent must continue her major subject throughout the junior
and senior years and must take at least twenty-seven hours
in the major subject during these years, with a minimum of
eighteen hours in 300 and 400 level courses. A minimum

should consist of: Biology 101, 304, 305 or 310, 306;
Chemistry 101, 201, 203, 301, 304; Physics 101. For those
who plan to teach science the major shall consist of approxi-
mately the same total number of hours, but courses may be
varied with the approval of the department of primary
interest.
The Junior Year Abroad
Qualified students may substitute for the work of the
junior year at Agnes Scott a year of study abroad under the
direction of a group approved by the College. To be eligible
for the junior year abroad, a student must have high
standing in the work of the first two years and must be
recommended by her major department and by the language
department involved. Any student who may wish to apply
for the year abroad should file written request in the office
of the Dean of the Faculty before February 1 of her
sophomore year.
Degree Requirements 33
Program of Independent Study
Seniors who are qualified on the basis of their general
college records may be invited to participate in a program
of independent study involving concentrated work in the
major field. Through such a program the College believes
that intellectual values not possible in the routine plan of
courses may be achieved.
The program may be offered for one, two, or three
quarters and for credit of three, four, or five quarter hours,
with a maximum total credit of ten quarter hours. The
course number in each department is 490.
Summer Courses
Students may attend accredited senior college summer
schools. Courses and credits must be approved by the Dean
of the Faculty before the close of the regular college session.
A student who attends summer sessions in order to accel-
erate her academic program must have her entire plan of
acceleration approved by the Dean of the Faculty.
The number of hours a student may take in one summer
session will depend upon the quality of her work at Agnes
Scott, upon the nature of the courses chosen, and upon the
length of the summer session. Under no circumstances will
more than fifteen quarter hours be approved for a single
summer session. Total summer session credits counted
toward the degree may not exceed thirty quarter hours.
In order to receive credit, the student must make a grade
higher than the passing grade (for example, C when the
passing grade is D).
Summer session work may not be used to fulfill grade
requirements for classification or for the degree.
COURSES OF INSTRUCTION

until the entire course is completed.
Program of Independent Study
In each department offering a program of independent
study, the course number 490 is used. The program may
be offered for three, four, or five hours per quarter, with a
maximum total credit of ten quarter hours. Seniors may
elect this program on invitation.
Emory University Courses
Under a cooperative agreement, upperclassmen may take
courses at Emory University. Permission for such courses

The Department of Education does not offer a major. Teacher edu-
cation at Agnes Scott is a college-wide enterprise, and the Department
of Education exists only as one of many departments that contribute to
the future teacher's curriculum. In order to provide the strongest faculty
possible and to enrich course offerings, Agnes Scott College and Emory
University cooperate in sponsoring the Agnes Scott-Emory Teacher Edu-
cation Program. Programs in the various teaching fields are planned
by the Committee on Teacher Education representing both institutions.
Copies of planned programs are available from the Director of Teacher
Education, who is responsible for coordinating resources on both campuses.
Students planning to teach at the secondary level may be certified in
one of the folloAving five fields: English, foreign language, mathematics,
science, social studies. Their course of study will include an approved
major program in an appropriate subject field and the following courses
in Education: 301, 303, 401S, 402, and 404.
Students planning to teach at the elementary-school level must meet the
following requirements: (1) Completion of any major offered by the
College; (2) Completion of Education 301, 303, 304, 401E, 402, and 404;
(3) Completion of thirty quarter hours in work designated as "special
fields for elementary-school teachers." A minimum of fifteen of these
hours must be selected from art (Section B of Art 199a and/or 199c
strongly recommended), music (340 recommended), and physical educa-
tion (recreational leadership required). The remaining hours are to be
selected from the following: Biology 101 (five of these hours count
toward the required thirty); Sociology 317; Speech (105, 201, or 308) ;
I
English 63
Library Science 315 (Books and Related Materials for Children and

credit, spring quarter) ; History 215 (five of these hours count toward
the required thirty) or Political Science 201 (five of these hours count
toward the required thirty) or Political Science 308.
Students who plan to teach should begin to plan programs early in
no case later than the end of the sophomore year. They must take
Psychology 201 in the sophomore year. Mr. Henderson and Miss Howell
will advise students in regard to requirements and assist in planning for
necessary courses. Certain grade requirements must be met by students
applying for admission to the teacher education program; these require-
ments are posted.
Upon successful completion of a planned program at graduation,
students fill out an application blank and are approved automatically for
certification to teach in Georgia. Out-of-state students should present
certification requirements for their respective states at the time of project-
ing programs in order that proper guidance may be given.
Note: Students planning to do graduate work in Speech Correction
at Emory University are urged to major in psychology (including Psy-
chology 214, Physiological Psychology, available at Emory University),
and to meet requirements for elementary-school teaching. Tuition grants
are available to qualified students seeking to enter this graduate field.

112 Agnes Scott College
No refunds of any nature are made because of the with-
drawal of a student. No adjustment in fees can be made
when a student changes from boarding to day student status,
or when she attends only one or two quarters of the session,
unless arrangements are made in advance of the opening
of the session in September.
A student may not attend classes or take examinations
until accounts have been satisfactorily adjusted with the
Treasurer.
All financial obligations to this college must be met before
a student can be granted a diploma, or before a transcript
of record can be issued to another institution. There is no
charge for the first transcript, but a charge of $1.00 is
made for each additional copy.
The College does not provide room and board for resi-
dent students during the Christmas vacation. The dining
hall and dormitories are closed at this time.
In cases of prolonged illness or contagious diseases, stu-
dents must provide a nurse at their expense and must pay
for medicines and for consultations.
The College exercises every precaution to protect prop-
erty of students, but will not be responsible for any losses
that may occur.
It is understood that upon the entrance of a student her
parent or guardian accepts as final and binding the terms
and regulations outlined in the catalogue.
Personal Accounts
Money may be deposited in the college bank to the
account of a student and is payable on her checks. No
account other than the cancelled checks is kept.
Books and supplies may be purchased for cash in the
bookstore. The College suggests that $60.00 or $70.00 be
brought for this purpose.
SCHOLARSHIP AND SPECIAL
FUNDS
Financial Aid Program
The Income from a limited number of endowed funds is
available for students who need financial assistance in order
to attend Agnes Scott. All of the awards except special ones
made at Commencement are subject to renewal each year,
in whole or in part, provided the need continues to exist
and the student's academic progress is satisfactory. Stu-
dents already in residence receive instructions during the
fall quarter regarding procedure for filing application.
Entering students will receive instructions from the Ofiice
of Admissions and are urged to obtain these instructions
before February 1 (scholarship applicants on the Early
Decision Plan must secure instructions before October 1 ) .
Agnes Scott participates in the College Scholarship Ser-
vice of the College Entrance Examination Board. This
Service is a cooperative undertaking among colleges to foster
the distribution of financial aid on the basis of actual need;
a uniform scholarship application form (the Parents' Confi-
dential Statement) is required, and uniform methods of
computing need are employed. In line with the policy of
colleges subscribing to the Service, the amount of each
stipend is determined in relation to financial need, and
within the limits of available funds. Any recipient of an
Agnes Scott scholarship who has received financial assistance
from another source is expected to notify the College. The
Agnes Scott scholarship may then be subject to review
and some adjustment made. It is also subject to adjustment
if the recipient is awarded an honor scholarship at Com-
mencement (see section on Commencement Awards).
Entering students who need assistance are eligible for two
types of aid: awards made on a competitive basis which
113
114 Agnes Scott College
require no duties during the first year, and service grants
which average from four to six hours of work per week
in return. All scholarship renewals are in the form of
Service Scholarships or, in unusual situations, a combina-
tion of Service Scholarship and Grant-in-Aid. In no case
does a Service Scholarship for an upperclassman require
work in excess of ten hours per week. Duties are assigned
through the Supervisor of Service Scholarships (a member
of the Dean of Students' staff) and may involve acting as
hostesses, operating the switchboard, or helping in the
library, offices, physical education department, or labora-
tories.
If an applicant's need exceeds the resources available
at Agnes Scott, the College is often able to assist her in
securing aid from one of several educational loan founda-
tions established for the purpose.

ALUMNAE ASSOCIATION
Ann Worthy Johnson, B.A., M.A. . . . Director of Alumnae Affairs
Dorothy Weakley, B.A Office Manager
Eloise Hardeman Ketchin House Manager
Organized in 1895, the Alumnae Association of Agnes
Scott College has as its purpose the promotion of its mem-
bers' interest in the College and in liberal education. Its
work is done under the authority of an Executive Board
composed of officers, committee chairmen, and the presi-
dents of the four nearest alumnae clubs. Branches of the
Association, in the form of Agnes Scott alumnae clubs, are
active in thirty-six cities.
The Alumnae Association operates the Anna Young
Alumnae House, which comprises the Association offices,
reception rooms, and guest rooms for alumnae and other
visitors. The Alumnae Office publishes The Agnes Scott
Alumnae Quarterly, conducts the Alumnae Fund, and main-
tains files of information on more than 9,000 individual
alumnae. Volunteer committees, under the governance of
the Executive Board, carry on services including house and
grounds improvement, planning of special events and enter-
tainments, presentation of an annual career conference for
students, correspondence with class and club officers, and
a continuing program to make alumnae an active force
in American education.
Officers for 1958 are Mrs. H. Clay Lewis, president;
Mrs. Frederick B. Law, Jr., Mrs. E. N. Riddle, Mrs.
Fred Landis, and Mrs. L. Marvin Roberts, vice-presidents;
Mrs. Al Richardson, secretary; and Mrs. Scott Candler,
Jr., treasurer.
