AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE
The purpose which has prevailed at Agnes Scott since its
foundation has been to offer the very best educational ad-
v^antages 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
combines 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.
Admission of Students 17
ADMISSION OF STUDENTS
There are four main considerations for the acceptance of a
student : ( 1 ) the excellence of her preparation, as evidenced by
a certificate or an examination; (2) her character and ability,
shown by testimonials, and a psychological test; (3) a satis-
factory health report; (4) the date of her application for ad-
mission.
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 15th. Selec-
tions 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 main-
tains an "honor group" foT exceptionally well prepared ap-
plicants, 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 equivalent prep-
aration, 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 oi 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
to Agnes Scott College. If by local check, the usual clearing
house collection charges should be added.
18 Agnes Scott College
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 College 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 insufficient or unless the College finds it impossible to take
her on account of lack of space.
For entrance requirements, and for description of entrance
tubjects, see below.
For admission by certificate, see page 25.
For entrance examinations, see page 25.

Admission of Students 19
A unit represents a year's study of one of the above sub-
jects in a standard secondary school, constituting approximate-
ly 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 four units may be offered in History and
Civics combined.
The maximum number of units allowed in Science is four.
STANDING TO WHICH STUDENTS ARE ADMITTED
The College admits students: (I) as unconditioned Fresh-
men; (II) as conditioned Freshmen; (III) as irregular stu-
dents; (IV) to advanced standing; (V) as special students.
While these five classifications are recognized, the College
gives preference to those in the first group; and under the
competitive plan of admission very few in other groups are
taken.
I. As Unconditioned Freshmen, upon the presentation of
sixteen complete units, including the prescribed units detailed

Admission of Students 21
II. As Conditioned Freshmen, upon the presentation of six-
teen complete units chosen from the list of accepted subjects
on page 18; 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 Irregular Students, without class standing, upon the
presentation of sixteen complete units chosen from the list of
accepted subjects detailed on page 18, 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
22 Agnes Scott College
College, but they must meet all of the entrance requirements of
degree students.
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 at-
tended.
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 courses
marked.
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 requirements.
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 either con-
tinuation work or tentative credit course by course, in so far as
the courses are, in the opinion of the heads of the departments
concerned, equivalent 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 un-
satisfactory.
Admission of Students 23
4. If she comes from an institution not fully recognized, she
will be required to take examinations for any advanced credit
she may desire.
5. No credit will be allowed for courses taken by cor-
respondence except by advanced standing examinations given
by this college.
6. The B.A. degree will not be conferred on any student
who has not completed at least thirty semester hours of work
in residence during the session immediately preceding gradu-
ation.
7. Applicants for advanced standing must have received a
merit grade on at least one-half of the hours presented for
advanced credit.
Note. See pages 45-46 for additional details as to advanced
credits.
V. As Special Students. 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
completed their entrance requirements so long since as to
render them void; (2) Those whose preparatory work has been
interrupted in the past and never resumed. The following limi-
tations should be observed:
1. Applicants must not be less than twenty years of age at
the time of application.
24 Agnes Scott College
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 "spe-
cial" students.

Admission of Students 25
MANNER OF ADMISSION
Admission 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 standing, 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 arrange-
ments for holding them can be made.
Admission by Examination. 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
26 Agnes Scott College
other than those appointed may be allowed to take them on
the approval of the Registrar, but a fee of S2.00 will be charged
for each examination.
For the year 1929, the dates for the spring examinations are
May 20-25. The fall examinations are held only at the College,
and the schedule is as follows:
Thursday, September 19
Botany 10:00 A.M. to 11:00 A.M.

Description of Entrance Subjects 27
DESCRIPTION OF ENTRANCE SUBJECTS
ENGLISH
English, four units. The College entrance requirements of
the New England, Middle and Southern Associations of Col-
leges 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 work
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 four years of her prepaartory
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 whole composition.
28 Agnes Scott College

LATIN
All students entering the degree course must present the
minor requirement in Latin and are advised to offer the major
requirement.
30 Agnes Scott College
The requirements in Latin (three or four units) are in
accordance with a report presented to the College Entrance
Examination Board in November, 1925, by a commission ap-
pointed to frame recommendations on the basis of the Classical
Investigation. The College Entrance Board has adopted these
recommendations and bases its examinations on them. The
examinations include English passages for translation into
Latin and passages of Latin for translation and "comprehen-
sion." In connection with the passages of Latin, questions are
asked on forms, syntax, and the idioms of the language, as well
as such questions on the subject matter, historical and literary,
as may fairly be asked.
Minor Requirement, three units. If prose writers be read
the third year, the Minor Requirement admits to Latin 11-12
and 13-14; if poets be read, admits to Latin 15-16 and 13-14.
Candidates ofifering the Minor Requirement of Latin should
follow in the first and second years the same course of study as
those offering four units. In the third year either prose writers
or poets may be read, but it is strongly recommended that prose
rather than verse be the subject of study. Not less than one
semester should be devoted to the reading of Cicero if prose
is chosen; not less than one semester should be devoted to the
reading of Virgil if poetry is chosen. See detailed statement
under Major Requirement.
Major Requirement, four units. Admits to Latin 103-4,
and to Latin 101 or 105. w
I. Reading. There are no prescribed readings in Latin, but
the following recommendations are made:
Description of Entrance Subjects 31
(1) In the second year the early reading should be easy
Latin which may be "made" or adapted Latin; not less than
one-half of this year should be devoted to the reading of selec-
tions from Caesar, The reading for the year may also include
easy selections from such authors as Aulus Gellius, Eutropius,
Nepos, Phaedrus, Quintus Curtius Rufus, and Valerius Maxi-
mus, or books of selections containing some of these together
with authors of prose works.
(2) In the third year, if the reading be in prose, not less
than one-half should be devoted to the reading of selections
from Cicero; the reading for the year may also include selec-
tions from such authors as Pliny, Sallust, and Livy, or books
of selections containing these and other authors of prose works.
(3) In the fourth year, if the reading be in poetry, not less
than one-half should be devoted to the reading of selections
from Virgil; and the reading for the year may also include
selections from such works as the Metamorphoses, Tristia,
Heroides, and Fasti of Ovid, or books of selections containing
poems or extracts from Ovid or from other poets.
II. Prose Composition. Work in prose composition
should be carried on through at least three years of the pre-
paratory course; if possible, through four; and should be such
as to ensure thorough knowledge of all regular inflections, all
common irregular forms, and the ordinary syntax and vocab-
ulary of the prose authors read in school, with ability to use
this knowledge in writing simple Latin prose.
Suggestions Concerning Preparation
Exercises in translation at sight should begin with the first
lessons in which Latin sentences of any length occur, and
32 Agnes Scott College
should continue throughout the High School course with suJGfi-
cient 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 posi-
tion of the word itself. The habit of reading in this way should
be encouraged and cultivated as the best preparation for all
the translating that the student has to do. No translation, how-
ever, should be a mechanical metaphrase. Nor should it be a
mere loose paraphrase. The full meaning of the passage to
be translated, 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
translation from the teacher's reading. Learning suitable
passages by heart is also very useful, and should be more prac-
ticed.
The work in composition should give the student a better un-
derstanding of the Latin she 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 composition
during the time in which poetry is read as well; for this work
the prose authors already studied should be used as models.

Description of Entrance Subjects 33
The College Entrance Board has prepared a pamphlet en-
titled A Latin Word List which indicates the vocabulary that
students are expected to know at the end of two years, three
years, and four years of study. This pamphlet may be obtained
for twenty-five cents of the College Entrance Board, 431 West

CURRICULUM
ADMINISTRATION OF THE CURRICULUM
REGISTRATION
Students report first to the Treasurer's ofi&ce, where all finan-
cial affairs are arranged ; a card to this effect is furnished them
for presentation to the Registrar's office, where they are regis-
tered 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
semester, 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 famil-
iar 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 15th, all students at that
time in residence are required to file with the Registrar tenta-
tive statements of their courses for the next ensuing year. These
programs are reviewed by the Committee on Electives and
approved or revised. The cards, with the courses entered upon
Curriculum 45
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 of
the student's health be involved. All sutdents must be definite-
ly classified ^vithin 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 lowering 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
are concerned, provided that such examinations may not be
given later than December 15th for the first semester's work.
These examinations for advanced standing shall be more ex-
46 Agnes Scott College
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 allowed 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 students find it necesary 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 professors are authorized
to give the same. Such examinations are known as "Special"
examinations.
Curriculum 47
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-seven 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.
LIMITATION OF HOURS
In order to prevent over-crowding of work, the following
regulation of the student's hours has been put into operation:
48 Agnes Scott College
1. The maximum number of lecture or recitation hours a
week for Freshmen shall be sixteen, and the minimum fourteen.
2. The maximum number of lecture or recitation hours a
week for advanced students shall be seventeen, and the min-
imum 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 least 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
officially 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 offered 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."
Exact grades are not announced to students, their reports
containing only the information: "Passed with Merit,"
"Passed," or "Failed."
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 official
Register of Students, page 162.
Curriculum 49
REQUIRED RESIDENCE
The degree will not be conferred upon any student who has
not done at least one full year's work in residence in this Col-
lege immediately preceding graduation.
AUTOMATIC EXCLUSION
Any student whose work is notably unsatisfactory at the end
of the first semester is considered to have excluded herself auto-
matically 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 herself auto-
matically from the College for the next ensuing year.
A student v/ho fails for two successive years to meet the re-
quirements 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 Avhose presence is thought
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.
50 Agnes Scott College
THE BACHELOR OF ARTS DEGREE
REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE
Candidates for the B,A. degree must present one hundred
twenty-seven semester hours of work of which seven semester
hours must be made in physical education. Certain courses are
required, as listed below, and others are elective. The program
of work for each student must be approved by the Committee
on Admission or the Committee on Electives. Since the design
of the curriculum is to reserve elective courses for the more
mature years of the student, the Committees will allow post-
ponement of prescribed work only in such cases as may for
special reasons demand this procedure.
1. Courses Required:
A. Specific requirements :
ENGLISH 101-102 6 semester hours
MODERN LANGUAGE, with a prerequisite of

(a) Each student is required to complete a major and cer-
tain related hours, to be elected before the close of the second
semester of the Sophomore year. All related hours and un-
designated electives within the major must be approved by
the major professor. Work in the major subject must be con-
tinued throughout the Junior and Senior years.
This requirement may be met in the following ways:
(1) A major of twenty-four semester hours (including the
basic course) and twelve semester hours of related work; or
(2) A major of twenty-one semester hours (including the
basic course) and fifteen hours of related work (twelve hours
of the related work to be in one subject) ; or
(3) Two majors of twenty-four semester hours (including
basic courses) not necessarily related.
Major courses are offered in the following subjects: English,
French, German, Greek, Latin, Spanish, History, Biology,
Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, Psychology, Economics, Eng-
lish Bible.
The related subjects for departments in which majors are
52 Agnes Scott College
given are definitely stated in the descriptions of majors follow-
ing announcement of courses.
Note. The following may not be elected to satisfy require-
ments for the major or related hours:
(1) Elementary courses in languages:
An elementary course in foreign language may be accepted as
a basic course for a major or as related hours provided it is
the third foreign language offered for the degree.
(2) Courses in Music, Art History and Spoken English.
(b) The remaining hours required to complete the one
hundred twenty hours in academic work may be chosen at will,
subject to the following restrictions:
(1) Not more than six hours may be taken under any one

(2) Students offering for entrance two languages in ad-
dition to Latin must continue one of these two languages in
the Freshman year. Those offering for entrance Latin and
one other language must continue that other language in the
Freshman year.
(3) Students offering for entrance four units in Latin
and no additional foreign language must take in the Freshman
year the elementary course in French, German, Spanish or
Greek. This elementary course will be counted toward the de-

art education, giving in addition to technical training a knowl-
edge of the historical development of art, theory of design and
color, and practical work in the criticism and composition of
pictures.
The studio practice is divided into four parts:

MUSIC
Professor Dieckmann
Mr. Johnson
Miss Douglas
Mrs. Johnson
The music department oflfers 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
Description of Courses 103
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
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 arranged, and courses are offered, so that regular College
students, working for degree, may include music as a secondary
study, with credit for it, and special students of music may
avail themselves of the training offered 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 104), 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
104 Agnes Scott College
the elective group. Only those who have had unusually good
training 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:
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 and practical
art be likewise elected, not more than eighteen hours of music,
spoken English and art combined will be allowed to count to-
wards the degree.
Theoretical, Historical and Critical Courses
101-102. Theory. Rudiments, notation, intervals, scales,
meter, chords, terms, ear-training.

GENERAL INFORMATION
SITUATION
The College is located in Decatur, a city of about 10,000
population and noted for educational interests and advantages.
Since it is situated also only a mile from the city limits of
Atlanta, Agnes Scott has many opportunities for participating
in the educational, musical, artistic, social and religious life of
the city. In this metropolitan area are located thirty-four insti-
tutions of learning, besides public schools, bringing over fifteen
thousand students from all over the world, in addition to the
local patronage.
The campus is on the divide between the Atlantic seaboard
and the Gulf coast and has an elevation of 1,050 feet. The
water is freestone, and the climate free from extremes of heat
or cold.
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
constructed of brick, with trimmings of granite, limestone, or
marble. 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.
The Agnes Scott Hall was the gift of the late Colonel
George W. Scott, the revered and generous friend of the College
General Information 129
by whose munificence its existence was originally made possi-
ble. This building contains the offices of administration, be-
sides various lecture-rooms, reception rooms, the art studio, and
piano practice rooms. It is centrally situated and easily accessi-
ble 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 stu-
dents. The reading-room is supplied with the leading literary,
scientific 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 equipped
throughout with all appliances necessary for the proper teach-
ing of these subjects, including electricity, gas, and hot and
cold water, both in the lecture-rooms and the various laborator-
ies. 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."
The department of biology contains three laboratories, a
lecture room, a professor's office, a vivarium, a photographic
130 Agnes Scott College
room, a storage room, and a museum. The work of instruction
and research commands the aid of suitable apparatus, such as
microscopes, microtomes, ovens, baths, charts and illustrative
collections.
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 storage rooms, and two balance rooms.
In addition to these laboratories a geological museum is
being 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 lec-
ture-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 forty-two feet, and the pool itself is sixty by
twenty-five feet, the room and pool being tile lined. There are
General Information 131
five offices for physician and physical directors, four rest
rooms, special quarters for day students, and five rooms for
general student activities.
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 equip-
ment, including a clothespress or wardrobe for each occupant.
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 watchman who
is on duty all of every night.
The Agnes Scott Hall contains, besides the administrative
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,
besides two dormitory floors, the College Chapel, the halls of
the two debating societies, a large dining-room, a commodious
lobby, and various reception rooms. A colonnade connects this
building with the AcNES ScoTT Hall and thus renders avail-
able for the latter building the dining-room of the former.
132 Agnes Scott College
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 equipped
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
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
General Information 133
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.
SPECIAL ENDOWMENT FUNDS
The George W. Scott Foundation
In November, 1909, citizens of Decatur, in order to express
their affectionate admiration of one of the town's most useful
and public-spirited men, and at the same time to assist in per-

his heart, contributed the sum of $29,000 for the establishment
of "The George W. Scott Memorial Foundation," for the en-
dowment of some department of the College, the exact dispo-
sition of the fund being left to the direction of the Board of
Trustees. The income from this fund is for the present applied

cation.
The Lowry Foundation
As a tribute to the memory of their deceased son, William
Markham Lowry, Mr. and Mrs. Robert J. Lowry, of Atlanta,
have contributed to the College the sum of $25,000. The in-
come from this fund is applied towards the maintenance of the
natural sciences, and in recognition of the generosity of the

donors, the science building has been given the name "Lowry
Hall."
The Samuel M. Inman Endowment Fund

453.42, in real estate, stocks and bonds.
In addition the will provided for a life estate of $50,000.00
which will eventually come to the College. The whole of this
splendid gift is to be used for establishing "The Samuel M.
Inman Endowment Fund," in memory of her brother, who was
for many years Chairman of the Board of Trustees and the
pilot of the College through its most difficult period of develop-
ment.

Mrs. Thomas Harrold, Americus, Georgia, has contributed
the sum of $10,000.00 to establish "The Quenelle Harrold
Foundation" in honor of her daughter who graduated from
Agnes Scott in the Class of 1923. The income for the present
is used to provide a Graduate Fellowship, and it is awarded
to some alumna who is well qualified for research and who
gives promise of leadership.
The William A. Moore Scholarship $5,000
This sum was bequeathed to the College by the late William
A. Moore, an Elder of the First Presbyterian Church of At-
lanta.
The will of Mr. Moore provides that "this sum shall be held
as a permanent fund as endowment for the education at this

pete for this scholarship, the student must pursue a regular
course. The scholarship is not transferable, and is good only
for the session immediately succeeding the commencement at
which it is awarded.
The Alumnae Scholarship Aid. The Alumnae have
caught the spirit of helpfulness which characterizes their Alma
Mater and have cooperated heartily to help others secure the
education which they have enjoyed. They have given more
than $1,000 to establish the Sheppard Scholarship mentioned
General Information 141
above; and, in addition, they have recently begun a fund to be
known as "The Alumnae Loan Fund," the interest from which
is to be used for those who find it necessary to borrow money
for the completion of their college work.

ship. The Young Women's Christian Association of the Col-
lege offers a loan amounting to $100.00 annually, to be applied
to the expenses of a deserving student who needs financial help.

ation which has prompted this movement on the part of the
Association. For details as to the obtaining of this aid, commu-
nications should be addressed to the President of the College.

"specials") in which they may elect to continue their work.

General Information 143
Payable on entrance in September, $450.00, less the regis-
tration fee of $25.00, making the amount due $425.00. The re-
mainder due January 1st. Payments must be made direct to
the Treasurer on the specified dates. No bills are rendered
patrons for any items.
This does not include Laboratory fees in any Science, nor
does it cover "Specials" which fees must be paid to the
Treasurer before admittance to classes in any science or "Spe-
cial" subject, and his receipt presented to the professor.
Note. The maintenance and medical fees are the same for
one semester as for the entire session, and are non-refundable
for any cause.
The charges are made for the college year as a unit, and are
not intended to be divided between the semesters. The pay-
ment permitted on January 1st is to cover the balance due for
the session, and it is not the second semester charge and there-
fore due later. If the College is notified by January 1st that a
student wishes to complete the work of the first semester and to
withdraw before the beginning of the second term, the Presi-
dent has discretion to allow this without the January payment.
In the case of all students wishing to have places reserved for
the remainder of the session, it is necessary that payment be
made or satisfactory terms arranged with the Treasurer as
above provided. Students who do not meet this payment
promptly, or arrange for it, are regarded as withdrawing for
the second term and a later settlement will be on the basis of
a new entry and at a higher rate than for a continuous student.

will be $10.00 more for the session than half of the regular
fee would be.
All correspondence relating to financial affairs should be di-
rected to the Treasurer.
All remittances should be made payable to Agnes Scott Col-
lege. Due to the clearing house rules, our banks charge ex-
change on local checks. In view of this fact we request that
General Information 145
patrons kindly make reittances in either New York or Atlanta
exchange, or Postal Money Order. However, if a local check
is preferable please add (1/4) of 1 per cent, for exchange.
Notes
No student who does not live in Atlanta or Decatur will be
permitted to make living arrangements outside of the college
with any one except a close relative unless she has previously
secured the written consent of the Dean.
All who have engaged rooms prior to the opening of the
session will be charged from the beginning of the session or
semester.
When a patron finds it necessary to request deferred pay-
ment of bills when due, special arrangements must be made in
advance 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 payments
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.
No student will be allowed to attend classes at the beginning
of any semester where her account is unpaid.
146 Agnes Scott College
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
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 con-
veniences of a modern hospital. The $10.00 medical fee as-
sists 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 corre-
sponding 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 studen,t, 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 15th.
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.
General Information 147
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-
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" cannot be continued without injury to the stu-
dent.
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 allow-
ance to their daughters for spending money. When money is
deposited with the Treasurer for students, it is paid out on
their checks, and no other account is kept by the College except
cancelled checks.
148 Agnes Scott College
The College will not advance money to students.
In cases of protracted sickness or contagious diseases, parents
must provide a nurse at their oivn expense.
Patrons must pay for medicines and for consultations.
A fee of $5.00 is charged for B.A. diploma and $2.00 for
music or art certificate.
All dues to the College must be paid before either diploma or
certificate will be awarded.
The College reserves the right to request the withdrawal of
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 for 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.
Discounts
When two or more sisters enter as boarding students a dis-
count of $20.75 is allowed from the September payment, and
$12.50 from the January payment, for each sister.
This discount is granted only upon full cash payment on due
dates.
Students holding College scholarships will not be given any
further discounts.
General Information 149
In no case will two discounts be given the same student.
A discount of $100.00 on tuition will be made to ministers
regularly engaged in their calling who send their daughters as
boarding students. This is credited $50.00 on each semester.
All other charges will be at regular rates.
To ministers regularly engaged in their calling, who send
their daughters as day students, a discount of $28.50 will be
allowed on tuition. This is deductable $16.00 in September
and $12.50 in January. All other charges at regular rates.
No DISCOUNT WILL BE ALLOWED BOARDING STUDENTS FOR
ABSENCE FROM ANY CAUSE EXCEPT SICKNESS OF THE STUDENT,
AND THAT ONLY WHEN THE ABSENCE IS FOR AS LONG AS SIX
WEEKS.
This refers to a student who leaves on recommendation of the
Resident Physician.
No DISCOUNT TO DAY STUDENTS.
No reduction will he made for holidays.
No refund will be made where a student fails to return after
the Christmas holidays.
The boarding department will be closed during the Christ-
mas holidays. For the accommodation of those who remain,
one dormitory will be kept open, but no provision is made by
the College for meals.
Furniture
The College supplies each room with bedstead, bureau, ward-
robe, washstand, chairs, mattress, pillows, and crockery. Each
k
150 Agnes Scott College
student should bring with her sheets, blankets, counterpanes,
pillow-cases (35x22), towels, napkins, napkin-ring, teaspoon,
and any article, as rugs, curtains, etc., of use or ornament de-
sired 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
Students arriving in Atlanta in time for the official opening
of College in September are met, on request, by a representa-
tive of the College, without charge.
At other times a chaperon's fee will be charged for meeting
trains. If two or more students are met the charge is to be
divided equally among them.
Students, when met under the above rule, are expected to
pay to the Dean the fee on the day following their arrival, since
no account will be opened on the Treasurer's books for this
fee.
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 ex-
cept from Saturday to Monday. At such times, after consulta-
tion 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
General Information 151
the week-end or for a single meal, permission must be ob-
tained from the Dean and meal tickets procured at the business
ofifice.
The above regulations do not apply to the Alumnae. 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 train-
ing 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 gen-
eral cooperative plan has been devised by the students.
For the support of student activities such as the Student Gov-
ernment Association, the Debating Council, the Athletic As-
sociation, May Day Committee, and the various student publi-
cations, each student pays fifteen dollars ($15.00) which is
payable in two installments ^ten dollars at the beginning of
the first semester and five dollars at the beginning of the second
semester. This system relieves the student of the annoyance of
frequent assessments.
152 Agnes Scott College
It is expected that the first payment will be made the time of
entrance. The College does not handle the student budget so
please made check payable to the Student Treasurer, Agnes
Scott College.
Note. The organizations here named are those involving
the entire student body. The various other organizations, liter-
ary, 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 Christlvn Association. The objects of
this Association are:
To develop the spiritual life of the students.
To cooperate with other student associations in the general
work of the Young Womens' 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-
General Information 153
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. There are three sports seasons. During the Fall season
hockey and swimming are major sports, and tennis a minor
sport; during the winter season, basket ball and water polo are
major sports and volley ball a minor; during the spring season,
baseball, track and swimming are major sports and tennis a
minor.
An athletic field affords excellent opportunity for hockey,
baseball and track, while six tennis courts are in almost con-
stant use the whole year.
The Athletic Association also manages a camp at Stone
Mountain, where groups may go for the week-ends.
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 literary effort among the students.
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.
154 Agnes Scott College
The Agonistic. A weekly newspaper published by the stu-
dent 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 is-
sued annually by the Association.
RELIGIOUS LIFE
Every effort is made to promote earnest and pronounced re-
ligious life in the College. Students are requested to select the
church they desire to make their church home as soon as prac-
tical after arrival. Ordinarily this must be the church of their
parents. They are expected to attend this church on Sunday
morning. Attendance on daily morning prayers is required.
The regular Sunday evening service and the mission study
classes, conducted by the Young Women's Christian Associa-
tion, are largely attended, as is also the tri-weekly vesper ser-
vice 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 Regis-
trar.
ALUMNAE ASSOCIATION
During the Commencement of 1895 the Agnes Scott Alumnss
Association was organized. The purpose of the Association is
to promote the welfare of the College and its alumnae by in-
General Information 155
creasing the interest of its members in the College and in each
other.
The work of the general association is conducted largely
through the Alumnae Council and the standing committees, the
annual meeting being held in Atlanta during Commencement
week. Two alumnae 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 oificers of the Association are as follows:
President Mrs. Brainerd R. Adams, '23, 1445 4th Ave.,
Columbus, Ga.
First Vice-President Mrs. Frank K. Sims, '20, Thornton
Ave., Dalton, Ga.
