Associate Nurse 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. 16 University Center 17 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.

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. THE BACHELOR OF ARTS DEGREE Agnes Scott College confers the degree of Bachelor of Arts. A plan of distribution and concentration is followed, with major work selected at the end of the sophomore year. Candidates for the degree must present one hundred eighty quarter hours of academic work of which half must be of grade C or above. (Beginning with the class that entered in 1957, one hundred eighty quality points must be earned.) A grade of C or above must be made in not less than forty-eight quarter hours in the junior and senior years, and in not less than twenty-one hours in either of these years. Certain group requirements must be met in the first two years (see Required Courses listed below) ; and certain regulations regarding the level of courses elected in the junior and senior years must be followed (see section on Limitation of Hours and Courses). Candidates for the degree must complete the work of the junior and senior years in this college. Required Courses Certain courses are required, as listed below, and others are elective.

Freshman Program Freshmen will make a tentative selection of courses during the summer preceding admission. Full instructions will be sent from the Admissions Office. The freshman course of study usually includes five aca- demic subjects and physical education. The following courses must be elected, with the options indicated above : 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. Unless specifically excused by the major department and 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 of eighteen of the twenty-seven hours must be completed with a grade of C or above. Major work is offered in the following subjects: Art, Bible, Biology, Chemistry, Classics, Economics, Economics and Sociology, English, French, German, Greek, History, History and Political Science, Latin, Mathematics, Music, Philosophy, Physics, Psychology, Sociology, and Spanish.

This major is primarily for premedical students and for students planning to teach science in secondary school. The major for students interested in medicine or medical technology 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 1959-1960 Courses numbered 101 to 199 are open primarily to fresh- men and sophomores; Courses 201 to 299 to sophomores and juniors; Courses 301 to 399 to juniors and seniors; and Courses 401 to 499 to seniors only.

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 must be secured from the Chairman of the Course Com- mittee and is usually limited to courses not offered at Agnes Scott. Students interested in the pre-professional courses in Librarianship should consult the Dean of the Faculty. 34 Art 35 Art Professor Warren Associate Professor Huper Assistant Professor Westervelt The objective of the Department of Art is to give train- ing in appreciation, to help students form standards of taste, and to promote culture in the entire community.

COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES Extra-Curricular Program The Student Organizations and publications occupy an important place in the life of the college community. They are supported in part by a comprehensive fee charged each student. This appropriation is distributed among the fol- lowing: Student Government Association, Athletic Associa- tion, the Student Handbook, Mortar Board, Pi Alpha Phi, Lecture Association, Blackfriars, May Day Committee and Dance Group, Social Council, National Student As- sociation, International Relations Club, the literary maga- zine, the annual, and the weekly newspaper. The Student Government Association is based upon a charter granted by the faculty and has for its purpose the ordering and control of campus life. Its membership in- cludes all students. Agnes Scott Christian Association is organized to develop the spiritual life of the students and to cooperate with other student associations in general Christian work. Most of the student body are members. Athletic Association cooperates with the department of physical education in the management of sports and spon- sors inter-class games, tournaments, swimming meets, and general recreational activities. Individual interests and skills are developed through various sports clubs. Social Council coordinates the social activities of the campus, including in its program a formal reception for new students, dances, movies, and varied Saturday night entertainment during the session. Lecture Association, an organization of students and faculty, brings lecturers to the college community. 106 Community Activities 107 Publications include the "Aurora," a quarterly literary magazine; the "Silhouette," the student yearbook; the "Agnes Scott News," the campus weekly; and "The Stu- dent Handbook," a manual of information Issued annually by the student associations. Clubs directed by students or by students and faculty together provide opportunity for development of special Interests and talents. Membership in most of these Is open by try-out. They include language clubs. Pi Alpha Phi de- bating society, Blackfriars dramatic club, the Dance Group, Dolphin Club, Glee Club, Guild Student Group (chartered by the American Guild of Organists and sponsored by the Atlanta chapter), International Relations Club, Music Club (affiliated with the Georgia Federated Music clubs), Psy- chology Club, and several creative writing groups. National honor societies Include Mortar Board (service and leader- ship) ; Eta Sigma Phi (classics) ; Sigma Alpha Iota (music) ; and Chi Beta Phi (science). Art and Music One of Agnes Scott's major responsibilities in the Uni- versity Center is the development of the Fine Arts. This the College seeks to do through its program of Instruction and through general contributions to the cultural life of the community. Exhibitions of paintings, prints, crafts, and other objects of art are held periodically in the College Art Gallery; and throughout the year concerts are pre- sented by the faculty of the music department and by artists from the Atlanta area. All of these events are open to the public without charge. Religious Life Every effort is made to promote the students' religious life. They are asked to select the church they desire to make 108 Agnes Scott College their church home and are encouraged to attend this church regularly. Devotional exercises are held in chapel every morning except Monday. The Wednesday service is a College Con- vocation which all members of the college community are expected to attend. Although attendance at other chapel services is voluntary, students are urged to be present regularly. Other religious programs include Sunday evening vespers conducted by Christian Association and the tri- weekly vesper services led by members of the faculty. Health Service The student health service is under the direction of the college physician and her staff. The students' health needs are met as far as possible by the medical department. The comprehensive fee charged all students includes ordinary infirmary and office treat- ment for resident students, and emergency treatment for non-resident students. If there is need for such special medication as antibiotics, hypodermic injections, vitamins, prescriptions. X-rays, special diet, etc., the expense is met by the individual. Resident students should consult the college physician before seeking medical or dental care in Atlanta. Consultants are called in at any time upon request. The College reserves the right, if the parents or guard- ians cannot be reached, to make decisions concerning emer- gency health problems. The parent is expected to sign the necessary forms to give the College this right. Counseling While each student is encouraged to be increasingly self- reliant in college and community life, the College realizes the value of advisory assistance in developing individual i Community Activities 109 interests and ability. Academic counseling is done by the Dean of the Faculty, the major professors, and designated members of the faculty. General counseling of students, particularly in relation to non-academic matters and social and extra-curricular activities, is centered in the office of the Dean of Students. Placement Service The College operates a placement service through the office of the Dean of the Faculty. Confidential reference files are maintained for all graduates and are sent to pros- pective employers on request. There is no charge for the service. A vocational information service is conducted by an Assistant Dean of Students.

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.

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.
