AGNES SCOTT CLUBS

A PERPETUAL REUNION.

Sometimes the lonesome thought
comes to us that days that are gone
are so far gone; that the joys of col-
lege life. that dear old friends are a
kind of happy dream, and we long
with all our hearts to go back and do
it all If
“witch with a wand” we would attend

to that litthe matter, but being only

over again. we were a

very human, we offer a substitute.

If you can’t go back to the old days
and the old friends and the old col-

why not bring them back to
you? Mohammed can still go to the
mountain, you know. And as we
bring back the old, we can add some-
thing of the new, in order that we
may not be put upon the proverbial
shelf. Now here is the plan—we will
have Agnes Scott Clubs.

An Agnes Scott Club will be a per-
petual reunion, for twice a year you
will meet with all the other Agnes
Scotters in your city and hear the
things of interest about the College,
and read the news letter that the
Alumnae Secretary will have sent
you. It will bring clippings from
the other clubs, their work and plans.
Then your club, if there are ten of
you wifl ‘be entitled to a representa-
tive on the Alumnae Council (see en-
closed constitution). She, as your
representative will meet with the
Executive Committee and the Chair-

lege,

cs

and in that way you will have a fin-
ger in every pie. Anybody who has
ever been to A. S. C. can be a mem-
ber of a club.

We have had clubs (or chapters)
before and they have never been un-
qualified successes, because there
was no strong central organization
to hold them together. The Commit-
tee on Clubs is for that purpose. Ev-
ery club will be under the protection
of a member of that committee, who
will see that letters and notices get
to her club, in short she will be the
link between them and the main or-
ganization. It has succeeded at col-
leges, it will be a success for us. We
are looking for capable and interest-
ed Alumnae to organize clubs. Get
together the old girls in your town,
form an organization and notify the
Secretary, Catherine Parker, 12
Avery Drive, Atlanta. Wouldn’t you
like to have your city go down in the
minutes as the first to definitely or-
ganize a club?

Read very carefully what the Con-
stitution has to say about Clubs and
the Alumnae Council, and then act!
If there is anything that you don’t
understand write for more informa-
tion.

THE ALUMNAE GIFT SHOP.

One day towards the last of No-
vember, Miss Daugherty remarked
that she was making handkerchiefs,
which she would like to sell for the
sake of her French orphan, why did
not the Alumnae have a bazaar and
sell things on commission—and so
the whole thing happened. So many
calls had been made for the Endow-
ment that it was decided that no gen-
eral request for gifts be made. A let-
ter was sent to the different centers
in which an organization had been
made, Montgomery and Chattanooga
responded. Atlanta and Decatur did
their part, and many pretty things
came as a result of a suggestion
slipped into class letters.

The Shop opened on December 8
and ran very nearly a week with the
result that the Alumnae added $64.45
to its Endowment fund.

when it comes to former days of col-

I can remember when there were
three important things at Agnes

made and broken by the answer to
the question, “Are you a Propylean
or a Mnemosynean?” The three im-
portant events of the year were the
intersociety debate, the Propylean
play and the Mnemosynean play. You
see there was no “Ulackfriars’” and
the two societies sporsored dramatics
—each trying to outdo the other.
Miss Cady was the coach, and the ex-
citement there was when we ‘‘Props”

and later India Hunt and Olive Hard-

great old days.
And debates, once & year they

came, with the Shontz prize for the
society that won. The debaters were
chosen by the societies, and no one
knew for sure whether you could
debate or not until the night of the
affair, because they’d probably never
heard you try it. We read our re-
marks off a paper and the style of
oratory used was that now used at
such length by Senator Reed of Mis-
souri. Mrs. Dieckmann would love to

Now that we have the setting, let’s

The Silhouette has been going fine
all year. When the girls returned in
the fall they found that Mrs. Lula

Carol Stearns Wey had been busy
and with the advice and help of the
W. E. Browne Decorating Co., had
finished painting and furnishing the
rooms. Miss Lucile Alexander was
right on the job as tea-room treas-

‘urer and has worked faithfully at it

all the year. The girls have patron-
ized the tea-room unusually well and
have helped run things. Now that
the new dishes and supplies are paid
for there will be quite a little money
coming in for the Alumnae treasury.

There is a nice piece of news—
Martha Bishop, an old Agnes Scott
girl who had charge of the tea-room
for two years, but who has been ill
for a year, has returned and will
make things boom for the Silhouette.

ENDOWMENT CAMPAIGN

REPORT OF CAMPAIGN UP TO JANUARY 1, 1920,

“Not what we gain, but what we give,
Meagures the worth of the lives we live.”
{

The keynote of last year both in the College and Alumnae Association.
has been B. E, { (benefit endowment fund.) A big year it has been for
Agnes Scott, but this year must be an cven bigger one. As much as we may
hate it, the almighty dollar has forced itself even into the educated circles—
no standard colSge without sufficient funds. Our teachers do not receive
the proper salaties, we are crowded in the dormitories and class-rooms.
We must expand, but how? Endowment. The General Education Board
offered us $175,000 provided we raised $325,000. As yet we have not done
so, and unless that $325,000 is forthcoming, we ferfeit the $175,000. That
must not ne Surely the Alumnae is more interested than any one
else. Our standing in the college world (and the whole world is rapidly
becoming a collbge world), depends on the progress of Agnes Scott. Just
a word about the beginning of the campaign, and then the figures will be
given.

In February, 1917, the Alumnae. after a conference with Dr. Gaines
and Hoasc (the Senior honor society) pledged themselves to launch a ecam-
paign for $100,000 to be used for endowment. It was the purpose of the
trustees to follow this movement almost unanimously with a general ap-
peal, but with America’s entrance into the war, it seemed unpatriotic to
ask money forjother than war needs, so the general campaign was post-
poned, The classes then in college, however, made pledges which were
not of a bindiig nature, but signified the amount which they hoped to
raise. These piedges were $2,500 a class. The work of the faculty, alum-
nae and especially the students, was wonderful. B. E, F. appeared every-
where with t¢ result that Emma Pope Moss Dieckmann, Endowment
Treasurer, had) received the amount of $5,065.96 before the present cam-
paign began. e are proud and glad to know that it was this, our money,
which closed the deal for the new lot on the corner which has added so
much to the bdauty of the campus. The lot counts as endowment and will
receive due credit by the General Education Board.

3—Notes Regarding Campaign to Date.

i. Planned as simultaneous whirlwind campaign October 14-Novem-
ber 1st, covering all counties of Georgia and seven Southern States.

ii. Good committees were organized in all sections of our territory,
and prospects were fine when campaign opened,

iii. Our committees everywhere found going extremely hard. A few
specially interested chairmen overcame difficulties and succeeded in their
campaigns, but most of them failed.

iv. Since November ist, we have visited personally as many Georgia
counties as possible, and in this way about $2,500 per week has been se-
cured. Local committees generally are willing to co-operate when repre-
sentatives of the College are present to work with them.

vy. At the present rate of progress, the camp2ign might be finished by
December ist, subscriptions being secured from 3,000 or 4,000 people and
ranging around $25 or $50 each.

4—Objections to Present Program.

i. It lowers the prestige of College. People ask, ‘““What’s the matter
with Agnes Scott that she can’t go on and finish her campaign?” Others,
“It’s time for you people to get off the stage and let others get a show.”

ii. Securing subscriptions in small amounts over wide areas makes col-
lections poor and shrinkage large. It is also expensive to raise the money
in that way.

iii, In the spring, large Presbyterian campaigns will be on, inter-
fering with us and making our results more uncertain.

iv. After we pass the $500,000 mark, it will be very difficult to get
money, as people will feel they are paying our debts, providing expenses
of campaign, ete.

_ EDITORIALLY SPEAKING

OUR ALMA MATER.
When far from the reach of thy sheltering arms,
The band of thy daughters shall roam,
Still their hearts shall enshrine thee,
Thou crown of the South,
With the memory of youth that has flown,
Dear guide of our youth,
Whose spirit is truth,
The love of our girlhood is thine,
Alma Mater whose name we revere and adore,
May thy strength and thy power ne’er decline.

How many questions we, the grown-up children of this Alma Mater,
have to face? No college is greater than its Alumnae, we stand before a
critical world as the embodiment of our college, we are its reason for liy-
ing, its service to the world. Since this is true, since we are the children
into whom Agnes Scott has put its life, what are we to do with that gift?

Right here let us take issue with the dear old song, which we have

often sung—well or badly, as the gift was given us—but always with a
heart which is after all the best organ for singing. ‘Decline’ rhymes most

excellently with “thine” but the sentiment is wrong. It is unthinkable any
way you look at it that the strength and power of our Ag es Scott should
ever decline. Suppose for the sake of reason—poetry laid aside—that we
say, “May thy strength and thy power e’er increase.” Nowe have got
to the heart of the matter. What was the strength and power to begin
with, say its influence over us? How is it going to increase? How may
we, as Alumnae, help?

How great has been the influence over us
through touching lives with men and women who have seen visions and

We have learned; we.

dreamed dreams, have come ourselves to partake of their visioning; we

have added a letter to our ideas, they have become “ideals’—and the great-

est of these is service. Examine yourselves, you upon whom Agnes Scott
has put her mark, has she not given you a broader outlook on life, a higher
culture, a more earnest desire to really live? Surely it is this which ac-
counts for the fact that we stand when Alma Mater is sung and feel as
an old girl said the other day that “it thrills us yet.”

We have passed by the matter of our College, ever losing in influence,
but the laws of Nature declare to us that nothing stands still. From that
it would seem that we must by the nature of things progress, and so we
must and have. Every department of the College has progressed more
rapidly than the Alumnae. Agnes Scott will not take the place which we
desire for her, until we, the Alumnae, awaken to our responsibility, until
we perfect our organization, unite with the other college women of the
world and stand ready and eager to push forward every interest of our
college, Over two hundred girls were turned away from Agnes Scott this
year, The dormitory space has become very inadequate. We need a new
gymnasium, and many other things, but just at preesnt we need endow-
ment more than anything else. If we, Alumnae, are interested enough. we
will see that the endowment is forthcoming. We can do it if we are willing
for a littke while to put the love of our Alma Mater above other things
and do our best for the College, which has done its best for us.

But it is not only this which our College wants and needs. We must
face the fact that Agnes Scott is well known only in the South. We re-
joice that she is growing better known each year. but there is still much
to be done in this matter of proper publicity, this is work for us. Do we
know what the present curriculum of the College is? Haven't we a right
to know and to give what helpful suggestions we can on the subject? Do
we know anything about the present student kody? In a few years they
will be the band of Alumnae, you know. We can help to preserve and im-
prove the type of Agnes Scott girls by interesting ourselves in preparatory
schools and high schools in our midst, by seeing that the right type of
girl comes and comes prepared to take a degree. The best way to keep in
touch with the college is to organize Agnes Scott clubs, closely connected
with the main organization, and to come back often, especially for class-
reunions. In short, we can serve our Alma Mater in any way, so long as
we give back as much of love and loyalty as she has given to us, and in so
doing we can lift our heads very high as we say,

When others besides us thy portals shall throng
Think of us who have gone on before
And the lesson that’s 'graven deep into our hearts
Thou shalt ‘grave on ten thousand and more.
Fair symbol of light,
The purple and white,
Which in purity add to thy fame,
Knowledge shall be thy shield,
And thy fair coat-of-arms,
A record without blot or shame.

Then too the old grad is getting something new for herself. The class
spirit revived, old friends, the bacon bats, picnics, hikes, social hours all
mean more to her than ever before. She goes home with a new vision of
what the college has meant to her,

Agnes Scott has always been proud of her Aluninae reunions. This
year she particularly wants and needs a large attendance. The vote of
every “old girl” is needed in planning the big things ahead for Agnes Scott.
Svery girl who possibly can, should make her plans to come and join her
class in the Alumnae meetings at Commencement, Agnes Scott is expect-

ing you.

THE AGNES SCOTT TYPE.

The College inevitably leaves its impress upon its students, and each
college its own peculiar impress. There is a Wellesley type of woman, a
Vassar type, and so of every college. Just so Agnes Scott has left. its
impress upon its students. It is inevitable that the character, curriculum,
faculty, ideals and life of a college should make an indelible impression
upon students.

WHAT THEN IS THE AGNES SCOTT TYPE?

1. It is a Type sound in the Faith. This is the impress which the
College has most earnestly sought to make upon its students by every
possible means, There is nothing more important and more desirable
than this. It is the foundation of happiness and usefulness. We rejoice
to believe that this is one characteristic of the Agnes Scott Type.

2. It is a Type with strong and high character. Character is the
greatest thing in the world. The Agnes Scott Type of Character is
grounded in Christian principles, loves the right and hates the wrong, and
has the highest sense of honor.

3. The Agnes Scott Type has the highest ideals. That is to say the
highest conception of what a true woman should be and do. These ideals
are not beautiful theories only, but the living, ruling aim and ambition of
life.

4. The Agnes Scott Type seeks to serve. She is not a mere butterfly.
She is not content to sit quietly down with folded hands. She earnestly
desires to be of service in the world. She is found in all kinds of useful
positions, in the home, in the church, in the foreign field, in the Y. W. C. A.,
in social service, in the schools, in every department of service to her fel-
lowmen.

5. The Agnes Scott Type is found in positions of leadership. It is not
true that all College women are leaders, but it is believed that Agnes Scott
does train for leadership and that a good proportion of her students are
leaders and leaders of the most useful and best kind. A man of the high-
est character and intelligence residing in another state said this to the
writer: “I have travelled much over my state and I have noticed wherever
I have found Agnes Scott girls they have been leaders in their communi-
ties.”

My dear “girls,” I greet you as the Agnes Scott,Type of women. I
rejoice in you. I assure you your Alma Mater notes with the keenest in-
terest and pleasure all that you are and do.

REUNIONS,

At a meeting of the general asso-

ciation at Commencement 1915, it
was decided that regular dates
should be appointed for the reunion
of classes, Each class comes back
the year after it is graduated, then
the 3rd, 5th and 10th year and every
5th year thereafter. As this En-
dowment-year is in many respects the
greatest in the history of the College,
it is very important that every class
be well represented. Even if this
does not happen to be your year, you
will enjoy being at College during
Commencement, especially as many
interesting things are scheduled to
come before the Association at this
meeting.

The following is the reunion sched-
ule:

Class 1919—1st year,

Class 1917—3rd year.

Class 1915—5th year.

Class 1910—10th year.

Class 1905—15th year,

Class 1900—20th year.

Class 1895—25th year.

The steps taken by the Alumnae to
raise its pledge of $100,000 are known
to all. It is much desired that every
Alumnae be a giver. It is our col-
lege; why should we expect others
to provide for it? There may be
some mistakes in the above list of
givers, as slips not marked “Credit
Alumnae” as requested could not be
counted on the Alumnae fund. Also
in many cases the giver used only
her married name, and as she is
listed in the records here by her
maiden name, it was almost impossi-
ble to locate her. If, however, any
omissions have been made, please
notify the General Secretary and she

will see that you are given due
credit in an early issue of the
Agonistic.

of change and usefulness being rather
inseparably connected. Don’t
think it applies to organizations as
well as to people? The Executive
Committee of the Alumnae Associa-
tion held that opinion and the above

mentioned constitution is the result|

of their thinking. May the English

thereof and the constitutiénality em-|

bodied therein not do violence to the
precepts of Misses McKinney and
Cady should the document chance to
fall under their eyes!

Now, honest and true, what did you
think when you read in the Constitu-
tion that startling statement, “The
Executive Committee shall appoint
a General Secretary who shall enjoy
a salary fixed by the Executive Com-
mittee to whom she shall be responsi-

ble.” Did you pass it over with un-
seeing eyes or condemn it with)
faint praise and, “if we had the

money?” I hope you did neither but
hurriedly got down your check book
or picked up your pocket book (it
really does not matter which) and
decided to send your membership
dues, possibly by “special delivery.”
If all our Alumnae paid their dues
regularly and yearly we could have
this much-to-be-desired-person. Ey-
ery self-respecting and well organiz-
ed Alumnae Association has one, and
now that we have had a taste given
us for five months we know how in-
dispensable one is. For years we
have been moving in one of those far-
famed spheres known as a “vicious
circle,” an illustration of which is
herewith appended:

How were we ever to get out of
this circle? Our dear Alma Mater
came to the rescue and furnished a
tangent (shades of Geometry!), just
out and out gave us a Secretary for
five months in the person of Mary
Spottswood Payne of Lynchburg, Va.,
familiarly known among her contem-
poraries as “Spott.” Have you ever
had so many letters about Agnes
Scott or such official visits (those
who live in Alumnae Centers), or
heard as much about the doings of
the Alumnae Association, or received
such an Alumnae Publication fairly
bursting with its big budget of news?
Such are some of the things that
our Secretary has helped us to bring
about. What might we not accom-
plish if we could have her indefinite-
ly? So it is with tears in our eyes
that we bid “Spott” adieu. But to
show our genuine appreciation to the |
College for giving us a chance to get)
out of the awful circle, and for the
work done, not to mention the over-
whelming need of the organization
for such a secretary, we must make
the position a permanent one. It is
simply a question of membership
dues.

We have under advisement a plan
by which the Alumnae Association
and the College can share the ex-
penses of a Secretary who will give
half her time to each, beginning Sep-
tember, 1920. Whether or not we can
accept this proposition depends on
your response. I wish it were possi-
ble to say, “All in favor hold up)
your hand.” But instead of a show
of hands we are confidently expect-
ing a show of membership dollars.
Florence Smith, Treasurer, has her
“strong-box” ready to receive them,
and if the truth were told she thinks
she hears them already on their way.

as they come rolling in from North,

There was a time when there was
only one phone at Agnes Scott, it be-

since been converted into Dr. Me-

phone but the Faculty, the negro
maids, and Seniors. All conversa-
tions, tender and otherwise, had to be

general public.
remember when they used to
have Faculty-Student plays, a thing
now extinct. It was during a re-
hearsal of one of these that Mrs.
Dieckmann (then a student) crawled
into the pipe organ to hear the play
and heard Mr. Dieckmann call her a
“Cabbage Head.”

I remember—oh, a great many
things, such as the first Gamma Tau
“parade,” the time when I used to be
afraid of Miss Hopkins and Dr.
Gaines, and when Mrs. Johnson used

There is but one change that is sad
to me. I remember when everyone
I met on the campus would say,
“Hey, Em, Jones.” And one month
