ALUMNAE ASSOCIATION Ze avgoni Stic | Vol. V 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.

However, when it comes to former days of col- lege glory, here the veteran hitches 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.

The floor of large red tiles, forms a base for the dainty little blue-topped ta- bles and chairs with yellow legs.

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- eon, plate dinner and ice cream, and for between-times and supper there are sandwiches and salads, and ice /eream cones. (Spot told me to be Scott, the two literary societies and sure to put in about the grand choc- the Y. W. C. A. And friendships were ‘olate ice cream with marshmallows and nuts, they had one day.) 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. Lucile Alexander, ’11, is a member of the French Faculty of the College.

No. 11 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. The facts are as follows: Endowment Statement at the Organizations. Opening of College, Oct.

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.

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.

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, F. H. GAINES. February 6, at 2:30 in the Ansley Hotel.

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. ALUMNAE OFFICERS.

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. write it and deserves, at least, a good | other Alummac But to return to the idea) 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: so We memberships must interest and have a bring general will secretary. This But plans. we Club have News-Letters, no money. Exchange of Money publications, is gotten Alumnae, by increasing records, the Up-to-date number of work. members our and keeping regarding them informed 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.

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. ,| “Ah, times has changed,” said the veteran, rising from the cracker box, with a sigh. facts.
