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-

up the cracker box and begins: 


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” 
used to pit Lavalette Sloan and Lillie 
Joyner against the Mnemosyneans' 
Lottie Mae Blair and Mae Joe Lott; 
and later India Hunt and Olive Hard- 
wick against Jeanette Victor and 
Louise Ware! We're proud of the 


Blackfriars. Still those others were 
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

And that tea-rroom is a dream. The 
floor of large red tiles, forms a base 
for the dainty little blue-topped ta- 
bles and chairs with yellow legs. On 
the walls are painted little ladies 
with old-fashioned puff sleeves and 
/hoop-skirts, all done in silhouette.

Now that we have the setting, let’s 
examine the very reasonably priced 
menu. For breakfast there are ce- 
reals, toast and hot coffee; for lunch-

for between-times and supper there 
are sandwiches and salads, and ice

The Silhouette has been going fine 
all year. When the girls returned in 
the fall they found that Mrs. Lula 
White Potter, Mrs. Martha Rogers 
Noble, Miss Florence Smith and Mrs. 
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. 
Don’t forget to visit there when you 
come back to Agnes.

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. 


REUNIONS.

gain. There is much she has to tell of what Agnes Sjott means to people 
in her community and more of how she expects to kifep the spirit of the 
college in the minds of the home people so that more sfris will come to get 
the advantages she has had.

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. 
tionately remembered. At the beginning of this New Year we send you 
our warmest greetings and best wishes. 


Cordially yours,

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.

The Vicious Circle and One Way Out. 
Somewhere the other day I read 
that the useless people in the world 
are those who never change. It im- 
pressed me as being rather true. (At 
the time a group of us were re-writ- 
ing the Alumnae Constitution which, 
by the way, I hope you have read 


carefully for it took a long time to.

reading! ) 
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. 
What a joyous jingle they will make 
as they come rolling in from North, 
South, East and West!

that was the beginning. 

There was a time when there was 
only one phone at Agnes Scott, it be- 
ing in the sitting room, which has 
since been converted into Dr. Me- 
|Cain’s office. No one could use the 
phone but the Faculty, the negro 
maids, and Seniors. All conversa- 
tions, tender and otherwise, had to be 
|carried on in the full hearing of the 
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 
|to be Gussie O’Neil and take “sing- 
ing” from Mr. Johnson. 

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 
ago I walked into the library (hay- 
ing been gone one year and a half) 
and not one familiar face greeted 
me.
