A Message to the Alumnae

from J. R. McCAIN

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE
DECATUR, GA.

Office of the Presiden

My Dear Girls:

One of the privileges of my new work
that is in no sense burdensome is the send-
ing of a brief message to those "who have
gone on before." Many of you I know
personally, and I am grateful for this;
others I know through the successes you
have won since leaving us or through your
friends still with us on the campus. Is it
not a cheering fact that being connected
with Agnes Scott gives us a sense of kin-
ship to all others who as students or other-
wise have helped to make our College?

I am wondering just
what you would like to
know about Agnes Scott.
Have you kept up with
its recognition in the
educational world ? How
do we stand relatively
with other colleges for
women? Do you know
the one particular in
which we wish further
recognition and what we
are doing to get it?
Would you like to know
the size of our endow-
ment or the number of
our students or of the
faculty? Is your sec-
tion of country repre-
sented in the College
this year? If you wish
information on any sub-
ject about Agnes Scott,
drop us a card. We are
anxious for you to keep
up with us. We are never too busy to
write, and we will count it a special privi-
lege to talk with you whenever you can
come to the College.

It always rejoices our hearts to find
ALumnae who are proud of the institution.
Is it not fine to cherish and pass on the
fine things which are said about Agnes
Scott from time to time? Do vou realize

that as a college we are very young — since
1906 — and' that we are just reaching th(
growing age? Do you know any institu-
tion that has come forward more rapidly:
Do you recall any fine people whom yoi
met while a student here who are making
worth-while records since they left — keep
ing you company ? Are you grateful for the
confidence which people have in Agnes
Scott, that they believe what it claims!
Dr. Oscar M. Voorhees, secretary of Ph
Beta Kappa, after inspecting the College
recently, remarked: "I nearly always fine
that an institution makes
some claims for itsel:
which it cannot substan
tiate. I am glad to fine
that Agnes Scott has
been more modest in its
claims than it has a right
to be."

Do you find grounds
for criticism in connec-
tion with our work:
Are we neglectful oi
our graduates? Do we
work our students too
hard ? Are we slow 01

unprogressive 1

Is

OUI

Dr. J. R. McCain

vision too limited? We
know you love your
Alma Mater, and we
are counting on you to
help us find the best
program for the College
and to strive with us to
make it successful. Those
of us in the administra-
tion become greatly absorbed in details and
petty problems, and we need to see
through the eyes of some of you who are
more removed from the every-day affairs.
We need and earnestly ask the best
thought of our great College family in
making Agnes Scott all that it ought
to be. Cordiallv,

j. R. McCain,

A^hat a Girl Should Get From a College or
University Course

By Bertha Conde

l yrANY and varied are the opinions of
\ /I most folk about the value of college

\f I life. It used to be said without any

- -*- hesitation that the curriculum was

the only lure to students ; but oftener

late many have claimed that the college
tivities furnish the real training to the ed-
ge girl. Much emphasis has been laid upon
is later view of college life. In a recent
rge gathering of the alumnae of a popular
liege an undergraduate representative begged
e audience to try to get incoming freshmen

appreciate the value of the courses offered

the curriculum — "that they really were
Drth while." The amazing side of all this
y in the fact, so it seemed to me, that no
le in that large audience of college women
ughed or seemed to appreciate the absurdity

the plea.

Experiences such as this lead one to feel
ound for some principle which will serve

a brief for a four years' residence on a
liege campus. There seems to me to be three
issibilities which constitute the chief rea-
ns why the average American girl should
> to college.

A college experience should give every stu-
nt first of all a sense of values. The train-
s' in this begins during the first lonely days

freshman life, when home sickness stalks
i every side. Most girls do not realize the
lue of their homes until they are thus sep-
ated from them and have a chance to look

them from the far horizon of the college
mpus. Would that this might be true in

greater degree in the years to come, if
e home life of our nation is to be held as
sacred trust.

The experiences in friendship also give one
new sense of the value of those qualities
lich make for enduring relationships. In
e crowded, pressing life of the average
;sidence Hall, a girl has an unique chance

see the logical result of certain personal
alities which she had never taken seriously
fore.

Then there are also the values of the intel-
:tual life and the ideals that are held by
ltivated people ; so different from the aver-
;e ambitions of the common crowd. It is
arth many years of life to be shut up in
e cloister close to the great intellectual ideas
at have moulded the life of humanity and
spired everything that has been truly great
;d good. It is difficult indeed to avoid the
ntagion of concentrated mental ambition.
dded to this are those ways in which one
nses the value of the achievements of her
How students. Faithfulness in the class
om, or on the athletic field, or in the con-
ieration of one's fellows, bring, inevitably,
me achievement that is of high value in the
es of the college. Nowhere better than here
n a girl feci the joys of competition with

those of her own age, and be led to devote her
whole being to the rewards of serious am-
bition.

Every student ought also to gain from her
college life a sense of direction. Most girls
nowadays have the necessity or desire for
self support as a spur in their college life.
The varied courses and activities call out and
satisfy every latent desire ; open up attractive
fields of conquest. Usually a student comes
to the end of her four years with a fairly
clear-cut ideal of what she wants to do with
her life, even though she may not know how to
realize that ideal commercially. To be sure
the struggle to harmonize the desire for a life
and the necessity for a livelihood is usually
acute during the first year out of college, but
somehow or other, as the years go by, peace is
worked out and the whole level of life is
lifted. Having once seen the vision it is not
possible easily to forget it.

College life also ought to supply a sense of
direction in helping a student to grasp firmly
the best things of the past, and then add to
that her own contribution for the future.
Many people take pride in having no thoughts
beyond those which were thought in the past ;
but it is not safe in a growing, changing, tu-
multuous world, to add no fresh wisdom for
new situations. Any college which does not
give its students an intellectual foundation
broad enough and strong enough to support
the burden of modern problems has not given
its students anything really worth while.

One of the greatest gifts any college can
give to its students is a sense of relation. The
four years should give continuous training in
this. There is the adjustment to be made to
one's room-mate, to the class room, to the inti-
mate circle of one's friends, to the community
life of the college, and to the more difficult
relations between town and gown. After all
these come the relationships to the multitude
of girls in our home towns who have never
had the chances for a college education. One
of the burdens of campus life is this problem
of adjustment. Wide awake students never
escape this strain of puzzling out their rela-
tionships to various grouns of other students,
to world interests, and realms of thinking sug-
gested by college courses. Perhaps the keen-
est test comes in trying to see their relation-
ship to the truth about God as they have been
taught it, and as they now see it through the
eyes of a college experience.

There are many students who go to college,
pass through the four years and come out
without having gained any of these three
senses. How they can escape it is a mystery ;
but the average student looks back in grati-
tude for these three gifts which no distance or
time, or changes, can destroy.

Would that every American girl might have
this same chance !

Two Agnes Scott Songs

The College sings on Tuesday evenings have increased in popularity during the
past years, with the result that the prospective song book is growing stouter. We
Alumnae want to keep familiar with the old songs and learn the new ones. For this
reason the Quarterly is printing two of the most popular new ones.

Althca Stephens, '22, received a certificate of music, and since graduating has
studied music in Boston and become a member of the American Guild of Organists.

Marjorie Lowe, '23, was one of the most active members of the Poetry Society,
ami wrote the May Day story of last year — a unique departure in otir May Day
pageant.

Hoasc

ET is true of every college that as it de-
velops one of the most interesting signs
of life within it is the appearance of or-
ganizations among the students, — organiza-
10ns that have as their interest the vari-
ms phases' of student and college activity,
institutions of this kind are constantly being
nolded and transformed on the campus, so
hat those who have been some years gone
rom the campus need very much a personally
onducted tour through the student life. One
if the most interesting of the organizations
>n the campus today is that known as
Hoasc." It is composed of Seniors only, and
las every year an open meeting in which the
lames of Seniors newly elected are announced.
The address printed below is that given by
Margaret Bland, '20, at the open meeting this
ear. It explains both the origin and ideals
)f the organization.

"In our chapel services for the past two
veeks Dr. McCain has been giving us sketches
»f the history of Agnes Scott. We have learn-
:d how, by the efforts and friendly help of
hose on the campus and others scattered all
>ver the South, Agnes Scott has developed a
ligh standard of scholarship, has enlarged its
:ndowment, and has increased its buildings
md property. This morning I come to tell
ou of the growth, through the help and love
)f the students, of something more intangible
han buildings and endowment; more intan-
ible even than standards of scholarship. I
vant to tell you of the growth of the Agnes
cott 'spirit.'

"As Agnes Scott grew from a small pre-
fatory school to a college of recognized
tanding, there was growing also in the hearts
md minds of the students a greater loyalty
or their Alma Mater, and an increasing de-
ire to show this loyalty by well-directed ef-
orts. In the spring of 1916, a group of Se-
niors, feeling that there should be some or-
anization which would give recognition to
students who had showed most unselfish de-
motion to the college, made the first plan for
in honorary society that would bring to-
gether those who had best served Agnes Scott
hat, through united effort, they might render
nore effective service. After having talked
>ver the plan with Miss Hopkins and some
)ther members of the faculty, they presented
he idea to the faculty, asking for its sane-
ion for a permanent organization. Thus, in
he spring of 1916 an honorary society under

the name of Hoasc was given formal recogni-
tion, the members of which should be elected
from the incoming Senior Class by the Hoasc
members of the outgoing class.

"Since its inception Hoasc has continued to
grow in ideals and in service. It is now
sponsored by three members of the faculty —
Dr. Sweet, Dr. McCain and Mr. Holt— and
its membership is composed of twelve seniors.
It is difficult to describe the standards by
which these members are elected because this
standard is an ideal one, and we must all
necessarily fall short of the perfect attain-
ment of such an ideal. The student elected
to Hoasc must be worthy of Hoasc.

"And what is it to be worthy of Hoasc?

"To be able to divide your attention rightly
between books, friends and college activities,
that is to be worthy of Hoasc. To learn your
lessons and yet not fail to get from college
all that you ought to get, and give to college
all that you ought to give — that is to be worthy
of Hoasc. To remember that the education
upon which you are entering is not merely a
college course, but a life course for which
your four years on this campus are but a
preparation — that is to be worthy of Hoasc.
To feel that in coming to Agnes Scott you
have 'joined a family whose honor is your
honor, whose welfare is your own, whose in-
terests are your first consideration' — that is
to be worthy of Hoasc. To set yourself a
standard so high that to live up to it will be
a glory, and then to live up to it — that is
to be worthy of Hoasc. Above all, to be
worthy of Agnes Scott — that is to be worthy
of Hoasc.

"When Grover Cleveland first heard of his
election as President of the United States he
stood for a moment at the window of his
office and looked at the triumphant crowd that
surged about, glad to do him honor. The
sight almost overcame him, and turning to a
friend he said, T never realized before what
was expressed in the phrase, "A sea of faces."
Look at it. As beautiful and yet as pow-
erful as the waves of the ocean.' As I look
at this student body of Agnes Scott these
words of his mean more to me — 'a sea, as
beautiful and as powerful as the waves of
the ocean.' And I, in turn, am awed at the
beauty expressed in your faces, beauty of
thoughts, eagerness of mind, and wealth of
dreams ; and I am awed at the possible power
of the lives that lie ahead of you.

"Whether or not you shall ever become a
member of Hoasc, you have the privilege of
showing forth this beauty and this power.
You have the privilege of being worthy of
Agnes Scott."

Campus Affairs

Changes in Main Building.

It is hardly correct to term it "Main
Building" any longer, when it is now offi-
cially called Agnes Scott Hall, but most of
us would never know what place to visual-
ize on the campus if we should call it that,
while the very name "Main Building" brings
to us definite pictures and treasured memo-
ries. It all looks just as it always has, even
yet, on the outside, but within — you'd never
know it — you who have been gone a long
time.

The newest change is one that will be
welcome to all. For long it has been a source
of distress to many of us that the parlors in
the Main Building seemed so dark, and looked
so stiff and forbidding. This year under the
direction of Miss Hopkins and Alumnae Com-
mittee on Beautifying Grounds and Build-
ings the parlors are transformed. All the
woodwork has been done over from dark
brown to ivory. The old furniture is uphol-
stered in a cheerful tapestry, and new furni-
ture has been added. The windows are love-
ly in light hangings, and all the lights have
yellow silk shades. Then there are attractive
"tables with shaded lights scattered about that
give a more informal feeling, there is one
lovely floor lamp, and in the anteroom there
is a beautiful console table and mirror !

Encouraged by this successful co-operation
between the Alumnae Committee and the col-
lege, Dr. McCain has put some money at the
disposal of the Committee on Beautifying
Grounds and Buildings for the purpose of
lmying shrubbery for the campus.

New Members of the Faculty.

Elizabeth Fuller Jackson, A.B., A.M.,
Ph.D.

Miss Jackson is from South Weymouth,
Mass., and received her degrees from Welles-
ley. She is Associate Professor of His-
tory, and comes to us from Russell Sage,
where she has taught four years. This past
summer she spent in England, "just enjoying
it," she said, and we were able to find out be-
sides that only that she thinks we have very
early breakfasts, and very late lunches, and
that her suppressed desire is to play a good
game of tennis.

Mary Eloise Campbell, A.B., M.A.

Miss Campbell is a Southerner from
Charlestown, Jefferson county, West Vir-
ginia. She received her degrees from Bar-
nard and Columbia, and is Assistant Professor
of Greek and Latin. She was for two years
head of the Latin Department of the Ethical
Culture School, in New York City, and came

to Agnes Scott from Vassar, where she was
an instructor in the Latin Department. Miss
Jackson was busy when we went to see her, sc
we weren't able to ask her very many of the
questions that all modern reporters seem tc
ask, but she told us of a begonia named Vas-
sar that she brought with her, and which did
no good until brought to Agnes Scott, and
she showed us the black cat that adopted hei
just after she came here, and which she named
Agnes Scott.

Emily Smith Dexter, B.A., M.A., Ph.D.

Miss Dexter is from Elroy, Wisconsin, and
received her degrees from Ripon College and
Wisconsin University. Her subjects are edu-
cation and psychology, which made us a little
afraid to ask her the usual newspaper ques-
tions about suppressed desires. She told us,
however, that she hasn't any, which we con-
sider a most unusually healthy state. She
came to us from Missouri Wesleyan, in Cam-
eron, Missouri.

Strethel Walton, A.T.C.M.
Miss Walton is a Canadian, and conies to
us from Belleville, Ontario. We don't just
exactly understand what A.T.C.M. means,
but we know it is something very significant,
and one gets it at the Conservatory of To-
ronto, which is where Miss Walton studied.
She has also studied in Boston under Mr. Ar-
thur Hubbard. Miss Walton has a very love-
ly contralto voice, and is soloist at All Saints
Episcopal Church in Atlanta. Her concert
given Saturday evening, October 13, was one
of the most beautiful ever given before the
College community.

Janet Brownlee., A.B., A.M.
Miss Brownlee was raised in the shadow
of Washington and Jefferson College in Penn-
sylvania, and received her degrees from the
Pennsylvania State College for Women, and
from the University of Wisconsin. She is an
instructor in the Latin Department. We think
she likes Agnes Scott because she commented
on the delightful breezes that came through
her window in West Lawn, and the pleasant
shouts that arose from the tennis courts just
outside, and she said she felt very much at
home.

Dr. Sanford M. Salver, A.B., A.M., Ph.D.
Dr. Salyer came to Agnes Scott directly
from Sweet Briar, but before that he taught

of Oklahoma and the University of Minne-
sota. He received his B.A. from Amherst
and his Ph.D. from Harvard. One of the
nicest things we know about Dr. Salyer is
Mrs. Salyer. They live off the campus and
we weren't able to interview him because he
is always either just coming in the gate or
just going out.

Agnes Scott in New York

Participation in Woman's Activities Exhibit.

By Publicity Committee.

THROUGH the courtesy of the South-
ern Woman's Educational Alliance,
the Alumnae Association participated
in the Woman's Activities Exhibit
held at the Hotel Commodore, New
York City, during the week of September 24.
The New York League of Business and Profes-
sional Women, Inc., under whose auspices the
second annual Woman's Activities Exhibit was
held, is a group of representative women who
believe that it is the duty of every young wo-
man to be thoroughly trained to be self-sup-
porting.

The object of the exhibit was to present a
visual compilation of the various vocations
open to women and the manner in which they
may be trained for them. The Southern Wo-
man's Educational Alliance had a section, in
which the Agnes Scott exhibit was placed. It
was their purpose to suggest the progressive-
ness and general value to women of educa-

tional activities in the South, and to give some
idea of what educated Southern women are do-
ing. The alumnae had a wall chart, showing
college views, a unique pamphlet for distribu-
tion, especially arranged for the exhibit, which
showed the fields of activity in which our
alumnae are found, and specific examples of
the work of several of our interesting alum-
nae. In addition there were several annuals,
catalogues, books of views and suggestions of
alumnae activities.

The matter was carried through by the pub-
licity committee, with Elizabeth Wilson, '22,
the New York member, in charge of the final
arrangements, and with Ruth Nesbit More-
house, '17, as the hostess to represent the col-
lege. This may well be a step forward in
our publicity work, for the exhibit held last
year drew 50,000 paid admissions and attract-
ed national attention, and this exhibit was
equally well attended.

Reunion Mileage

By a Distant Alumna.

HAVE you ever heard tell of a china
pig which carried its owner to col-
lege reunions ? In my town there
lives a girl whose college lies just
twenty-three dollars and thirty cents
distant, but with the omnipresent china pig as
mascot she gets there every time her class has
a gathering. For the pig has a slit in its back
and through that slit falls every penny that
comes in her direction. When it was dis-
gorged for her fifth year reunion she discov-

ered the cash was adequate for a nifty sport
costume. Speaking of pork barrels !

This may be the sort of system which some
of our alumnae should use, for the present
plan does not get many of us back to our re-
unions. We forget the great fun that comes
from telling tales and relating experiences,
and just being back on the campus. If you
can't get back at commencement time, why
don't you plan a house party in the alumnae
house for grand opera week, or for any time
you can get your friends back with you ?

Reuning Classes for 1924

1923 — First year reunion.
1921 — Third year reunion.
1919 — Fifth year reunion.
1914 — Tenth year reunion.
1909 — Fifteenth year reunion.
1904 — Twentieth year reunion.

1899 — Twenty-fifth year reunion.

If each girl in these classes would consti-
tute a committee of one to get her class started
ow its way for a jolly reunion, we'd have the
best commencement week that Agnes Scott has
ever known.

Alumnae Interest in Undergraduate Affairs

The Lyric Prize.
The B. O. £. Prize.

THE interest of the alumnae in en-
couraging original work among the
undergraduates has shown itself in
the Lyric prize offered to any member
of the College Poetry Club by Janef N.
Preston, '21, and Frances C. Markley, '21.
The judges of last year, Karle Wilson Baker
and DuBose Haywood, both poets of distinc-
tion, wrote most pleasantly of the verses
which had been sent to them. Elizabeth
Cheatham, '25, was awarded first prize on her
poem, Mood. It is interesting to note that this
poem received eighth place in a contest of-
fered by the Southern Methodist University,
to which contributions were sent from 81 uni-
versities and colleges in the country. Follow-
ing is her poem :

Mood.

They say I can not write until I live.

Still grief, or deepest love alone can give

True meaning to the halting zvords I make.

My spirit stands stiffly in the wake

Of rushing human heart-beats. This they say.

I know. With clear intensity today

I somehow sense the blankness of my youth,

Perceive the strange, irrefutable truth

That makes me cold and far as some dim

moon,
And yet, do I not love the April? Soon
Will I not rise to kiss the zvet-leafed day,
And lift my face, caress the cool, smooth

spray
And laugh? Perhaps I do not need to know

the grief
And love of men. Perhaps this brief,
Szvift loveliness of April's silvered rain
Is all that I need know of joy or pain.

To All Alumnae.

An effort has been made through two commit-
tees, Publicity and Class Organization, to get news
from every class. In cases where the class has been
organized the communication was sent to the secre-
tary, and in other cases one person was selected
from each class. The results have been far from
satisfying. Two secretaries responded. Ibis seems
serious when one remembers that the class officers
are chosen for life.

It is neither difficult nor expensive for the secretary
to address a post card to every girl in her class, and
for the girl to return all the news at her command.
This is the only practical method to obtain items for
the personal section of the Quarterly, for we can not
depend on news filtering in to the office and to the
editor. We are asking every girl to keep in touch
with the secretary of her class, and answer inquiries
at once. In classes where organization has not been
completed one person has been chosen as temporary
secretary. Please note the names and addresses un-
der each class.

For interesting news which is omitted we assume
no responsibility. You must help us get it.

The Editor Gives

A Parable for Alumnae

A certain letter journeyed out from the alum-
le office and fell among the alumnae, who
'ed it critically, and departed, leaving it use-
ss and neglected.

By chance one letter fell in the hand of a
isurely alumna, and when she saw it, she
rew it in the waste basket and flitted on to
iv bridge party. And likewise did the letter
iffer ill at the hands of the well-intentioned-
it-forgetful alumna and the put-it-off alumna,

both of whom noticed it at first, which caused
the letter more chagrin later.

But a certain busy alumna, as she hasten-
ed with her work, found the letter, and when
she saw that it was a communication of in-
terest, she greeted it warmly and answered
it the next day. And on the morrow when
she went to her work she asked put-it-off to
remember her letter from the office also.

Which of these four, think you, showed the
true alumnae spirit to the letter which fell
into their hands?

FOR AGNES SCOTTERS.
This is Station A. S. C, Editorial Department of the Quarterly.

Tune in, Agnes Scotters, it's time for the program to begin. Shut
out all choice stock market tips, close your ears to the tenor soloist,
and refuse to be beguiled by Uncle Wiggly's bedtime story. For
Broadcasting Station Anna Young Alumnae House is sending out a
program to you. It is a great pleasure to arrange a program, but
you know how loath talent is to come forward. Certainly static is not
the only trouble which one encounters, because only too frequently
one of our performers backs out. Keeping up an interesting pro-
gram despite this has been a real problem.

All programs are made and planned with a view to your pleasure.
Please send in your desires. The coast to coast trial has been suc-
cessful; we understand that our news has been received in San Fran-
cisco, as well as in New York.

So, clamp on your earpieces and get the news from Agnes Scott.

Agnes Scott's Presidential Inauguration

ALUMNAE URGED TO COME.

The inauguration of Dr. McCain, on May 4, is being planned with
much interest and enthusiasm. It is to be held on May Day, in order
that the two events may be combined, thereby making the day doubly
interesting. The exercises are to take place on the campus, where
after the Academic Procession, distinguished speakers will be heard.
At one-thirty, a luncheon will be served to the guests and alumnae in
the .Rebekah Scott Dining Hall, during which toasts by the various
college organizations will be offered. After coffee has been served in
the lobby the guests will be entertained by the May Day dances.

The Atlanta and Decatur alumnae are so anxious to have a large
number of the alumnae back that they have offered to entertain as
many as can come. You are needed to make this event a big success,
and to help show to Dr. McCain the appreciation that we all feel for
having him as our president. All alumnae are expected to walk in
the Academic Procession, in academic costume, so be sure to bring
your cap, gown and hood. You will find many of your friends here
for the inauguration on May 4.

Louise McKinney Play Contest

HISTORY OF "ROSEANNE."

January 1st, 1924, closed the third year of the Louise McKinney
Play Contest, which was established by an alumnae of the college for
the purpose of interesting fellow alumnae in creative work, particu-
larly in the realm of the drama. The contest was opened for five
years, with a prize of $250.00 to be given annually for the best play
submitted. The play must be a three-act, full length production, and
must be in the hands of the General Secretary of the Alumnae Asso-
ciation by January 1st.

Of special import is the group of judges — all persons of noteworthy
ability and of prominence in the dramatic world — Rachel Crothers,
Arthur Hopkins and Kenneth MacGowan. For an amateur to be able
to get a play before any one of these three is a rare opportunity.

A thrilling outcome of the contest has been the production in
New York this winter of "Roseanne," by Nan Bagby Stevens, whose
play, "Moonshine," won the Louise McKinney prize in 1922.

To quote George Pullen Jackson: "A drama written by a young
Southern woman who takes her material from the life of the negro,
a drama which has been bought by a trio of New York producers,
one of whom is a young woman from the South, is hardly common-
place. This is why unusual significance is attached to the play,
'Roseanne,' written by Nan Bagby Stevens, of Atlanta, and sold to Lee
Schubert, Rachel Crothers and Mary Kirkpatrick, of New York."

Burnes Mantle, in one of the New York papers, writes: "Band ye
together, friends and supporters of imported art, and being honest,
do deserved honor to Nan Bagby Stevens, who wrote "Roseanne;"
Mary Kirkpatrick, who presented it; Chrystal Heme, who with in-
spiring vividness, realizes the part of the heroine, and John Kirkpat-
rick, who staged it.

"Nothing that the Russians or the French, the Italians or the
Germans have given you is better. Mighty little of it half as good.
And you will understand every word and gesture and motive of this
simple, human folk-tragedy of the Georgia negroes."

The production of "Roseanne" has evoked wide comment, not the
least interesting of which has come from the negro press. J. A. Jack-
son, a noted colored writer and drama critic, says: "The story, a
logical and gripping one, is a very bitter demonstration of what the
race has suffered from the parasitic plowhand preacher ever since
the days of reconstruction. To the author's credit be it said that
every one of the twenty-five characters are true, and each faithfully
represents a well-known type. Elminate the last act, and an epic
of one part of American life will have been written.

All alumnae will be interested in knowing that "Roseanne" has
been worked over, and is now being given under the name of "Comin'
Thru," with an all-negro cast. Gilpin, of "Emperor Jones" fame, is
taking the leading role, that of the parson, a role which he has long
been eager to try. It is confidently expected that "Comin' Thru" will
make a hit not only in this country, but in London as well.

Those interested in the contest and desiring further information
should write to any member of the following committee.
Miss Louise McKinney,
Frances Charlotte Markley,
Mary Wallace Kirk, Chairman.

DR. J. D. M. ARMISTEAD

Armistead Memorial Room in Library

DEDICATED JANUARY 21.

At the suggestion of Hoasc, the Senior Class arranged to make
of the former English room in the Library, a memorial room, dedi-
cated to Dr. J. D. M. Armistead, who for seventeen years, was head
of the English department. It was hoped that the plans might be
completed and the room opened for use by January 9, which is Dr.
Armistead's birthday, but it was not possible to do this, so the room
was opened January 21. After short and sincere talks, by Dr. Mc-
Cain, from the faculty; Janef Preston, from the alumnae, and Daisy
Frances Smith, from the students, a beautiful bronze tablet, the gift
of Pi Alpha Phi, the debating club, was unveiled, on it the following
inscription :

Dr. J. D. M. Armistead

January 9, 1871 April 30, 1923

Professor of English for seventeen years.

Founder of B. 0. Z., Pi Alpha Phi and Gamma Tau Alpha.

"He leaves a white unbroken glory, a gathered radiance, a

width, a shining peace under the night."

The Armistead Memorial Room contains Dr. Armistead's library,
which was his gift to the college. These books are to be used just as
any others in the library, but they are to be catalogued separately,
and are to be marked with book plates, bearing the Armistead coat of
arms. The Seniors wished to make this room different from the re-
mainder of the Library, and have endeavored to give it the atmos-
phere of a reading room rather than of a study hall. New chairs and
table, and a brown rug have been placed in the room. A picture of
Dr. Armistead occupies the place of honor, while his "Washington
and Lee Corner" has been transferred to the Library. Book ends and
pictures, the gifts of various organizations, add to the beauty of the
room.

The Seniors, in furnishing this room, are only beginning a me-
morial fund in honor of Dr. Armistead. They hope to secure enough
money to enable them to add to the books and replace old ones from
year to year. They feel that there is no more fitting way in which
they may show love and admiration of Dr. Armistead than in thus
cherishing his last gift to Agnes Scott.

Louise McKinney Poetry Prize Contest

With the announcement of the Louise McKinney Poetry Prize Con-
test, creative writing among graduates and undergraduates receives
fresh impulse. A prize of fifty dollars is offered by a group of
alumnae keenly interested in the stimulation of original work in
poetry. The far away alumna who, since leaving college, has found
the time and the inspiration to write lacking, will discover in the
poetry contest a new challenge to burnish her dull lamp, both for her
own and for Agnes Scott's sake. The Poetry Society, the little group
of undergraduate poets, already quickened to new energy by the
recent visit to Mr. DuBose Heyward, the well known poet, has been
stirred to more enthusiastic work by this announcement of the alum-
nae. The following is a list of the conditions of the contest:

1. The name is to be the Louise McKinney Poetry Prize Contest.

2. The contest is open to graduates and undergraduates.

3. All manuscripts must be in by April 1st. They are to be sent
to the Alumnae Secretary, who will substitute numbers for names and
forward the manuscripts to New York.

4. Announcement will be made at Commencement of the judges'
decision.

5. The judges are to be Bliss Carman, Charles Hanson Towne, and
Amy Lowell.

6. The prize is to be fifty dollars.

Introducing Our New General Secretary

It was with real regret that we bowed to the supreme power of
Cupid and waived all claims to Nancy Jones, as General Secretary of
the Agnes Scott Alumnae Association. This time, however, the cloud
has a double silver lining. We feel sure that Mrs. Harwell Smith (nee
Jones) will infuse a bit of her fine enthusiasm and unfailing resource-
fulness into the Montgomery contingent of A. S. Alumnae and put
Montgomery back on the map, where it belongs side by side with the
Atlanta and Decatur Agnes Scott clubs.

The other bright spot is that Nell Buchanan has come to the
Alumnae House to take charge of Nancy Jones' desk as our General
Secretary of our association. This highly satisfactory arrangement
was made possible for us through the co-operation of Dr. McCain.
For some time Dr. McCain has been revolving in his mind the possi-
bility of having in the registrar's office a secretary who is more than
a stenographer, one of pleasing personality, whose interest in the
college is unquestioned. Nell Buchanan was undoubtedly the person
for the place, but she was already well settled in teaching in her home,
Marion, Va., where she had returned after her year's work in law at
Dickinson. But the combined pull of the registrar's office and the
alumnae office succeeded in bringing her to us. She now occupies the
room in the Alumnae House furnished by her class, that of '22, and
has already proven her ability by the way she has taken hold of the
work.

For those who have frequented the campus for the past four years,
any word about Nell would be superfluous. To those who antedate
her, it would be interesting to know that she was student president
her senior year, that she was one of the debaters in three intrcollegi-
ate debates, and that she returned last year to preside over the Agnes
Scott-Newcomb debate in our chapel. She will be remembered by all
who have heard her for her perfect debating manners. We are confi-
dently expecting this unusual charm of manner which she takes into
all she does to win new friends for our association and for our work.

17

Alumnae Electives

Most of us alumnae lead very full lives, and while we want to
keep up with the world of books, we haven't time to read everything
and don't know what literature to select. In order to remedy this
situation, the English faculty has kindly consented to publish in the
Quarterly reviews or criticisms of books which they feel might be of
interest to alumnae, thereby conducting a sort of "college after col-
lege" for our benefit.

"Songs of Youth," by Mary Dixon Thayer, are poems that have
caught and held the varying moods of one who believes that "the
writing of poetry is happiness — happiness even when the poem is sad —
because the making of a true poem is a spontaneous act of creation."
Because she cannot help singing, she sings her delight in life, her
wonder at its beauty and happiness. Yet, but half her charm lies in
this joy of living, in the simplicity and the music of her words, even:
the reach of her mind after God and the things that elude sense reveal
a spirit finely sensitive and audaciously beautiful. (Alfred Knopf,
publisher.)

In "Deep Channel" Margaret Prescott Montague tells the story of
two lives released from fear by the transforming power of love. With
clarity and with sympathy, she portrays a woman whose sensitive
soul shrinks from the forces that beat against her defenseless spirit,
but whose life, swept into the deep channel of unselfish love, finds
its own freedom and richness. Life, larger than love itself, comes to
Julie Rose. It is a book that is unforgettable because of the power of
life that flows through it and because of the exquisite gentleness with
which the author reveals the depths of sensitive personality.

"New Hampshire," by Robert Frost. Henry Holt and Company,
1923. In this new volume, Frost gives just what his readers have
come to expect from him : characterizations in conversational cadences
of such folk as the census-taker who came to count the people and
found none, of the star-splitter who burned his house and with the fire
insurance bought a telescope for star-gazing, of Maple whose unusual
name had ruled her life; lyrics, whose subtlety is concealed by naive
simplicity, on "The Fragmentary Blue," "The Dust of Snow," "A Hill-
side Thaw;" a light satire on the booster of his section in the title
poem. There are the same Yankee slyness and shyness, the same cas-
ualness and understatement, the same glints of magic, the same au-
thenticity that delight the lovers of this New England poet.

"Young Felix," by Frank Swinnerton. George H. Doran, 1923.
"Young Felix" is a lovable, human story which conveys to the reader
the illusion of reality from the first to the last of its four hundred
pages. The account of the disasters of the Hunters, impoverished
Londoners, centers around Felix and Ma, whose invincible gaiety and
tender comprehension of each other save the narrative from depres-
sion and bitterness.

"The Lost Lady," by Willa Cather. Alfred Knopf, 1923. This per-
fectly named novel of Miss Cather's, as Edmund Wilson says in the
January Dial, does something to atone for "One of Ours." In unfold-
ing the life of a delightful and immoral lady married to an elderly
Western contractor of the "railroad aristocracy," she has given a pic-
ture of the West chivalrous, friendly in the post-Civil War period,
just before the onrush of materials, and withal, as Mr. Wilson says,
a feeling of the beauty of lives lived out between the prairie and the
sky and of the pathos of the human spirit trying to flower in that
barren soil.

DuBose Heyward at Agnes Scott

On February 11, DuBose Heyward, the distinguished South Caro-
lina poet, gave a lecture in the college chapel, and read some of his
own charming poetry. He quite captivated his audience, for his per-
sonality is striking and his poems quite, lovely.

Mr. Heyward is a member of the McDowell Colony, and also of the
Poetry Society of America and the Poets' Club of New York. He has
recently published a volume of Southern poems, "Carolina Chansons,"
which have received favorable criticism all over the country.

Mr. 'Heyward is one of the originators of the Poetry Society of
South Carolina, is now vice-president of that organization, and has
done much for the poetry of the South.

Agnes Scott's Impression of the
A. A. W. W. Convention

SECOND ANNUAL CONVENTION OF THE AMERICAN ASSO-
CIATION OF UNIVERSITY WOMEN.

At the second annual convention of the American Association of
University Women, which met in Portland, Ore., July 16-21, 1923,
some three hundred delegates and representatives from all parts of
the world were assembled. A closer relationship between the almunae
of all universities and colleges seemed to be the one great aim.

While all of the sessions were filled with interest and enthusiasm,
the one in which we all felt a keener interest was the one which con-
sidered the relation of the alumnae to the college. Mrs. Margery
Hoffman Smith, representative from Bryn Mawr, was the leading
speaker of the session, and gave in detail the specific relation of her
alumnae association to the college. In the first place,, this relation is
a very close one, the alumnae electing five of its members as directors
of the college board. Any bachelor of arts of Bryn Mawr is eligible
to this office, provided that five years have elapsed since her gradua-
tion. It has become customary for the executive board of the Alumnae
Association to nominate candidates for alumnae directorship. Three
times as many candidates are nominated as there are vacancies and
these nominees are submitted to the vote of the association as a whole,
with the qualification that only those alumnae who have been grad-
uated for five years can vote. Twenty-five qualified alumnae voters
can choose a candidate on their own initiative by submitting, in writ-
ing, the name of this candidate to the executive board. The alumnae
directors serve for a term of five years. As there are twenty-one
directors of the college, it is obvious that five alumnae directors can
exert a very important influence.

There is also the Alumnae Council, which is composed of the execu-
tive board of the Alumnae Association, the five alumnae directors,
chairmen of the various important alumnae committees, such as the
finance, publicity, scholarship, health and physical education commit-
tees, also of one delegate from each council district, and of two mem-
bers of the last graduating class. This very representative group
meets at least twice a year, once at the college, and once at some other
place. Its sole purpose is to co-ordinate alumnae activities and fur-
ther the understanding between the alumnae and the college.

Bryn Mawr Alumnae have a third source of influence through the
alumnae fund. That this fund is so large proves for iteslf that the
bond between the alumnae and her college must indeed be a very
strong one. It seems to be a custom of long standing that each alum-
nae acknowledges, among her other debts, a financial responsibility
to her college. Annual class collections are taken and until 1920 these
collections were paid into the general endowment fund. But, in 1920,
the alumnae put on a drive to raise $2,000,000, and, succeeding, the
class collections are now diverted to other purposes. The annual col-
lections vary from $60,000 to $80,000, and their expenditures naturally
involve much serious consideration. The alumnae fund was created
to meet this situation. All class collections and free gifts are paid
into it. It is subject to the supervision of the executive board and the

20

finance committee of the Alumnae Association. A joint committee of
alumnae and college directors, who are not alumnae, study each year
the urgent needs of the college and through their recommendations
the alumnae fund diverts the money into those channels which are
considered most important.

Aside from the financial influence, the various other committees
keep in very close touch with the college. For instsance, the academic
committee confers once a year with the president and the dean of the
college. The scholarships committee confers with the college and the
others. The committee on health and physical education confers with
the president and the athletic director.

While the above subject is our main interest, there are other
topics which demand our interest and attention, namely: The budget
for 1923-24 and our national headquarters at Washington. I am
submitting a copy of the budget.

This year our national club house has a deficit of $13,000.00. The
first plan introduced to liquidate this indebtedness was that $1.00 be
added to the annual national dues of each member of the association,
making that $3.00, and cancelling all other non-resident club house
dues. Many delegates objected, saying that their local branches would
object to the additional dollar. The second alternative was to pay
off the entire debt of the headquarters and not increase the national
dues. For a while it was thought that the $200,000.00, the amount
needed to put the national club house on its feet financially, would be
raised in a very few minutes, but of this amount only $28,160.00 was
pledged. It was then decided to apportion the approximate $170,000.00
to the different branches, the amount pledged by that branch being
deducted from apportionment to said branch, and pledged amount to
be paid into headquarters at Washington by December 1st, 1923,

Reunions in May

Dear Alumnae:

What a satisfactory thing this Quarterly is as a means of reach-
ing you all! I am so glad to extend to you, through this issue, an
unusually urgent invitation to come back and let us have a peep at you
at Commencement time. We hope to have some surprises for you this
year in our alumnae program and want every member of every re-
union class back to participate in the festivities, and just as many
others as can possibly come. Send in your reservations early for room
in the Alumnae House; the overflow will be taken care of in the
dormitories.

You are also most cordially invited to come back and help the At-
lanta and Decatur Alumnae Clubs act as hostesses for our disting-
uished guests on the occasion of the inauguration ceremonies for Dr.
McCain. These are to take place on May Day, May fourth, this year,
so that the May Day dances may feature in the entertainment of our
guests. Provision will be made for all alumnae who can come and
we shall be so happy to have your presence and your help.

Write the alumnae office when to expect you and bring your cap
and gown for both occasions!

Very sincerely,
Carol Stearns Wey, President.

The Alumnae Quarterly will be printed three times each year and
sent to all members of the Association. At the 1923 meeting of the
Association the constitution was, amended to raise the dues to $1.50. This
extra amount is to care for the publication of the Quarterly. Extra
copies may be secured from the Alumnae Office.

Our Alumnae Association

ITS PRESENT AND ITS FUTURE.

Agnes Scott girls like to keep themselves well informed on
every subject — they consider it a duty to themselves and to others
to take an intelligent interest in every matter of current importance.
And yet there are very few of us who realize the real importance
of one of the organizations to which we ourselves belong, and which
is very dear to our hearts, and that is the Agnes Scott Alumnae
Association. A comparatively small per cent of either alumni or
alumnae have been awakened to the increase in power and influence
among the alumni associations during the past comparatively few
years. There is now no phase of college life which is outside the
sphere of influence of the alumni, and there are many instances
where they have actually changed the policies of the College. In
fact, the increase in power among the alumni is so great that some
people are really afraid of it, and not long ago an article came out
in the New Republic on "The Menace of the Alumni." We should
therefore be very careful that our new found influence be used in-
telligently, and always for the best interests of our College. I be-
lieve that every loyal alumna will be interested in knowing how we
can use our influence to the best advantage — how, working through
our Association we may do the most for our College.

Our Alumnae Association has two fields of influence, the one
with the College itself, and the other with alumnae outside of Col-
lege. In) relation to the College itself, we have of course financial
influence and responsibility. In very few of our American Colleges
and Universities do the students pay as tuition even 50% of the cost
of carrying on the work of the institution, and Agnes Scott is no
exception to the rule. The balance of the cost must be met either
from income on endowment, (and while ours is much larger than it
was several years ago, it is not yet nearly adequate to our needs),
or from individual gifts. Therefore the financial responsibility and
influence of the alumnae is very real. And yet even the financial
help that the alumnae owe to the College is subservient to the duty
and privilege we have of keeping up our interest in the welfare of
our alma mater, and using our influence to further the fundamental
aim of every standard college — that is, scholarship and the advance-
ment of learning. Through our Alumnae Association we help to give
Agnes Scott the right kind of publicity; we make suggestions re-
garding the curriculum; we study the preparatory schools from
which we draw our students; we have a committee on beautifying
the campus and buildings: we have an aid fund to help send girls
through College whose doors would otherwise be closed to her — in
fact, through the Alumnae Association, and in that way only, can
the Alumna be of the greatest use to her College.

With the alumna outside of College, the Alumnae Association
helps her to keep in touch with her College, and with her classmates
and friends who are dear to her. Through encouraging membership

in the A. A. U. W. and similar organizations, the Associations help
to keep their alumnae abreast of the times in regard to matters
pertaining to education in general, and thus it serves to make them
more valuable members of their communities.

Now in order to accomplish these ideals, there must be adequate
organization. The officers of the Association must be interested in
the work, and unselfish in their service. The standing committees
must do something besides stand, and the General Secretary should
have a clear vision of the work to be accomplished, should be in-
terested in it, heart and soul, and should have plenty of time in the
office to carry out her plans. We have never had a sufficiently
large office force to so organize the Agnes Scott Alumnae Associa-
tion that we may enable it to function most effectively. But, what
is more important than all of these things, we must have the In-
terest and hearty support and cooperation of all the members of the
Association.

The needs of our Association are many, and the outstanding ones
can be met only through the interest of our girls. The first of these
needs is:

Better Class Organization. It is principally through our Class
Organization that the sentimental traditions of the College are kept
alive in the hearts of the alumnae. Through our class reunions, we
can keep in touch with our class-mates and friends, and can come
back to the College without the strange feeling of not knowing any-
body. If our alumnae will only keep in touch with the class secre-
taries, they can help to simplify the problems of class organization,
and will help to make the reunions a howling success. This year's
reunions were bigger and better than they have ever been before.
Every body had a great time, and their stunts were one of the hits
of the Commencement time. Yet there is much yet to be done.

Secondly, we need real live Local Clubs. In our local clubs we
have the opportunity to be of service to our College, and then we
have organization through which to work. We can give Agnes Scott
the right kind of publicity, and can stand ready to serve in case of
any emergency. Mr. W. B. Shaw, the Alumni Secretary of the Uni-
versity of Michigan, and one of the foremost authorities on alumni
work says, "The fortunate institution that has groups of local alumni
clubs scattered all over the country, bound to each other and to the
institution through an active central organization, has a flexible yet
strong tie with her former children, whose possibilities have only be-
gun to be recognized". Agnes Scott hopes to have some such sys-
tem instituted during the next year, and she will call upon her "chil-
dren'' to make the venture successful.

In the third place, our Alumnae Quarterly, which has done much
to band our girls together, must reach more girls, and must increase
in influence ,and improve in content and style. It needs the adver-
tisements of the girls who pay their dues and receive it, for it is the
best means of reaching everybody with news of the College, and it
needs the news that only you can give it. If you hear anything of
interest about any Agnes Scott girl, or anything that you think
would interest the alumnae, don't forget to send it to the Editor
of the Alumnae Quarterly.

Lastly, our Files must be kept up to date. We want to have a
modern and complete system of filing, so if you change your address,
or get married, please send notice of it to the office, in order that
the change might be made in the files.

We have talked at length about what we need, and it might not
now be out of taste to tell about the things of which we may be
proud. Our growth as an Association has been phenomenal. Under
the able lead of Mary Wallace Kirk, we reorganized five years ago
under our present constitution, and new life and enthusiasm were in-
stilled into the Association. We are gaining new recognition both at
home and abroad, and we feel that while the future is brilliant, the
present is bright.

Our especial feat is the building of our Alumnae House, which
is a real home for our girls as well as a social center on our campus.
Our Alumnae House is the first of its kind in the country, although
Vassar has now a beautiful new one. In speaking of our House in
relation to its own, I quote from the last issue of the Vassar Alumnae
Quarterly:

"Yes, we have no Alumnae House,'' has been the gist of the re-
plies that we have received from sixteen Colleges and Universities
to whom we have sent inquiries, and nearly all of them have added,
"But we are watching your experiment with interest."

"Agnes Scott College in Decatur, Georgia, seems to be the only
one which has blazed any trail for us. They, too, have an Alumnae
House containing bedrooms, and intended almost entirely for alum-
nae use. It was partially paid for by the College, and in return
College guests are entertained there. Students, faculty or alumnae
may hold banquets there or use the tea room, and there is a large
sewing room for the use of students, but with these exceptions, the
alumnae house is entirely for the use of returning alumnae." — Vassar
Alumnae Quarterly.

Our Association is a good one, but our potentialities are wonder-
ful. With our alumnae united, and with the organizaton through
which to achieve things, all things are possible.

Back to Agnes Scott

ALUMNAE REUNIONS TIME FOR HOME COMING.

How often our thoughts turn back to the good old days at Agnes
Scott, the days of hard study, of much fun, of great friendships
and high ideals! How often our thoughts tread the old familiar path-
ways, from Science Hall to Dr. McCain's house, and from the large
oak in front of Rebekah to the edge of the campus under a moon
that has never shone as large and beautiful as on the Agnes Scott
campus. How often our thoughts tread these pathways, and yet,
how seldom our feet!

Is Agnes Scott only a vague memory for us of girlhood days?
Or is Agnes Scott still for us a place where we have worked and
lived, an Alma Mater whose interests are still our interests, whose
progress and whose success still depend on us ? Are we among those
who say, "Oh, I don't want to go back. Everything will be so chang-
ed?" Or are we glad of the changes which have meant progress, and
eager to be back that we may see and be a part of these changes ?
Agnes Scott is still our Agnes Scott, still it is a part of us, for into the
building of this College went our faith, our loyalty, our hope and
our dreams!

Let us then come back to Agnes Scott eagerly and often, that
we may make of our memories and dreams of the past, hopes and
dreams of a future. Let us be here with our class mates, that we
may together look expectantly toward what the years will bring to
the alma mater we love.

Steps Toward the Greater Agnes Scott

During this semester one of our distinguished alumnae, Miss
Nan Stephens, who attended Agnes Scott some years ago, paid a
visit to the College, and made a talk to some of the students. Among
the things that she said that pleased us most was this state-
ment: "Agnes Scott is not just growing steadily and slowly into
a great College; it is pushing forward by leaps and bounds and is
gaining the recognition which it deserves." All of our alumnae real-
ize that Agnes Scott's growth is phenomenal, but a good many of us
have probably not had the opportunity to keep up with the changes
on the campus as we would like to have done. Therefore, feeling
sure that it will be of interest to every alumna, Dr. McCain has
given us the following information to help us keep up with what is
going on at Agnes Scott. It has been taken from his report to the
Board of Trustees.

Faculty and Students.

This year it was necessary to make twenty-one changes in the
Faculty including additions. The new appointees have given ex-
cellent satisfaction, and all of the Faculty and Officers have been
untiring in their efforts for the up-building and growth of the
College. Very few changes will have to be made for next session.

By using Dr. Gaines' house for a dormitory, and by making a
recitation room out of the old Home Economics Dining Room, we
were able to take about forty additional students this year. The
enrollment for the session has been five hundred and three, and it
has been a great satisfaction to be able to take a few more of the fine
girls whom we would have had to turn away.

The work of the session has been unusually good. It was the
first year that we have tried a strictly merit basis for admission
including psychological tests, and we are much pleased with the re-
sults. Our failures have been reduced about fifty per cent. The
proportion of upper classmen in College is increasing as should be
the case. The students show a fine spirit of co-operation and loyalty
to the College.

Buildings and Grounds

We have been pressing earnestly for the securing of enough
land to develop a really great College on our present site. This
year we have bought six lots, each with a residence on it. In plan-
ning for growth for twenty-five years even, we feel that we must
extend our holdings to Dougherty Street between McDonough and
Candler Streets.

Gymnasium Auditorium.

We face perhaps our greatest need in the erection of a gym-
nasium. Our present one was designed for the use of about 200
student, and we now have 500. Since it was built methods of teach-
ing physical education have changed, and the arrangements are out
of date.

Another need of almost equal importance is a large auditorium.
We have about 560 officers and students, and our chapel will hold

10

only 467. We cannot invite visitors there without fear of their
having to endure discomfort.

We believe that the time has come to build a gymnasium, and
to so arrange it that it can be used as a temporary auditorium until
a permanent one can be provided. Such a combination can be erect-
ed at a cost of about $100,000. Since we have almost that much
on hand which can be used for the purpose, we believe that the erec-
tion and equipment can be financed without calling on the current
treasury and without borrowing. The Gymnasium will be started
this summer.

Other Building Needs.

There are other building needs that we must plan to meet soon
if we are to maintain our standards of efficiency. The first of these
is an Administration Building with plenty of room for recitation
quarters. It is needed almost as much as the Gymnasium-Auditorium,
but our plans call for the location of the Administration Building
on the same site as the present Gymnasium, and hence the latter
should be replaced first in some other location. The sum of $250,000
will probably be needed for the erection of an adequate building com-
bining recitation class rooms and space for administration.

Engineers tell us that the present heating plant and power house
cannot carry more than the proposed gymnasium-auditorium unit, and
that it will have to be enlarged. It cannot stay in its present loca-
tion, as it would prevent our plans for major buildings. It will have
to be moved to the corner of College Place and Dougherty Street.

Still another improvement that should be planned for an early
date is a new Chapel. It is hard to maintain the spirit of worship
when our services are held in a room used for all sorts of other
activities. Agnes Scott's strongest motive is religious, and hence we
should by all means provide a chapel as soon as possible. It would
be most fitting if this building could be erected as a memorial to
Dr. Gaines. We are discussing this with the alumnae.

We are constantly pressed to take more boarding students, and
we believe that the Agnes Scott influence would be a blessing to
many of them; but we ought not to plan enlargement until the fun-
damental needs for equipment mentioned have met.

Moving the Street Car Line.

In order to unify our campus it is necessary that the South De-
catur-Stone Mountain trolley line be moved. After a great deal of
delay the city commissioners have given their consent, and the track
is now being moved from Ansley Street to Dougherty Street.

Campus Improvements.

A comprehensive plan of beautifying the grounds has been pre-
pared, and about $400 has been spent this spring in making a start
on the work. The alumnae are helping to plan the program, and
they have been quite helpful in it. The interiors of some of the
buildings are also being improved, for example the parlors in Agnes
Scott Hall.

Religious Conditions.

This is the most active period religiously that we have had in
several generations. The running of a great college, especially one

11

that is alive to all intellectual movements, is peculiarly diffiicult.
Agnes Scott was founded for the glory of God. Our teachers and
students are alive to all that is going on, but they have been sur-
prisingly loyal to the things of Christ. The stand of the institution
is becoming widely known, and a large number of parents in apply-
ing for the admission of daughters write that they choose Agnes
Scott because the faith of their children will be safe. We have
never had so great a demand for our graduates. The opportunity
that we face constitute a great challenge that should knit our friends
in a circle of prayer that we may not fail to maintain our best
ideals at this time.

Respectfully submitted,

J. R. McCain, President.

From the above report of Dr. McCain's we can clearly see the
wonderful future before Agnes Scott. Much has already been done
toward the realization of these plans. With the mighty army of the
alumnae behind them, and the organization through which to work,
all things are possible. We feel that we are well on the road toward
the "Greater Agnes Scott."

Marjorie Lowe, '23, Wins Louise
McKinney Poetry Prize

NOTED POETS PRAISE POEMS OF AGNES SCOTT GIRLS.

A recent editorial in the Aurora, Agnes Scott's literary maga-
zine, whose last issue was devoted exclusively to poetry, began with
this statement: "The development in recent years of a sincere and
widespread enthusiasm for poetry is one of the most important
phases of our modern life." And one might well add that there has
been perhaps no period in southern literature so rich in promise,
so sincere in production, so aglow with the "fine fire of initial en-
thusiasm" as this day of ours. Dr. Alphonso Smith, the writer and
teacher, has said that he believes that we are now at the dawn of
another renaissance of southern literature, especially in the field of
poetry. The movement which has its beginning today will be in
full tide tomorrow if tomorrow there are poets to create for poetry
an appreciative audience. These poets of the near future are to be
found, to a large extent, in our colleges. We believe that we have
some of them at Agnes Scott.

It is, then, an announcement of unusual and significant inter-
est that we make today, — the announcement of the award in the
Louise McKinney Poetry Contest. The prize of fifty dollars was
offered, this year, for the first time, by a group of Agnes Scott
Alumnae, interested in the development of creative art among alum-
nae and undergraduates, and particularly eager to encourage cre-
ative writing. The judges selected for this contest were Charles
Hanson Towne and DuBose Heyward, well known poets, and Pro-
fessor Perry, of Georgia Tech, also a poet. The comments of these
-judges speak for themselves of the reception given by critics and
artists to the contestants. Charles Hanson Towne says: —

"Certainly you have reason to feel proud of your students, for
talent is revealed in almost every manuscript. Will you kindly con-
vey to those who entered the contest that I most certainly congrat-
ulate them upon their versification." And again —

"I was amazed at the manuscript, revealing as they did extra-
ordinary lyric gifts."

With sincere commendation such as this, we indeed have rea-
son to feel proud of the kind of creative art that we are producing.
This is not the first favorable criticism that we have received of
the poetry produced at Agnes Scott during the last few years. Com-
ment has been made upon the technical skill with which students
handle the forms of versification, and upon the quality of sincerity
and beauty which marks their work. For training in technique, and
for inspiration in the expression of truth and beauty, the little group
of poets at Agnes Scott are indebted to Miss Emma May Laney, of
the English Department. Under her leadership, the Poetry Club orig-
inated several years ago, and has grown in vitality and in joy to
its members. Miss Laney is very largely responsible for the stimu-
lation which has been given to poetry — writing here at Agnes Scott,
and consequently for the cordial interest which outsiders have taken
in the poets here.

Out of thirteen contestants, three were mentioned by all of the
judges, in the following order:

13

Miss Marjorie Lowe, '23 — Autumn.
Miss Janef Preston, '21.
Miss Dell Bernhardt, '24.

We take pleasure in publishing the prize poem, written by Miss
Marjorie Lowe of the class of '23.

AUTUMN.

The wealth that Summer hoarded,

The careless Autumn spills,
Along the country road-sides

And on the distant hills.

She flaunts a princely vesture

Of scarlet and of gold,
And puts away no saving

For Winter or for cold.

Oh, Autumn is a spendthrift,

And recklessly runs thru
The gold of Summer's saving

And April's silver, too.

So Winter is a pauper

Who wraps her shame in snow,

When naked branches rattle
And cold winds blow.

— Marjorie Lowe, '23.

The poems given below also received honorable mention:
THE BREATH OF SPRING.

Wrapped close in their dullness the dark poplars wait in a row,

And they give not a sign of the small, singing secret they know
Of warm life that will surge through their slender grey bodies, un-
fold

Their shivering arms that are tightened and cramped with the
cold,
And leaping will rush to each far finger-tip to be seen

With a power that pushes through grey to bewildering green
Of frail, dancing leaves that will tremble half bold and half shy

In the arms of the wind as it passes tumultuously by.
Not yet has a crocus peeped up, or a daffodil led

A battalion to throw off the hood that holds in each bright head;
Or the burning-bush into flame; or the wind-flowers stirred

To lift up their faces; or listening meadow-grass heard
The cardinal's coming, — low swoop of his wing near the ground,

That of the daring new days is the heralding sound.

But today I have seen in the garden the slow-swaying Gate

Where the feet of the wild little Wand'rer impatiently wait
Till the wrinkled old Winter goes stumbling and tottering past;

Now at last

Suddenly here in the rain I am tilting tip-toe
To capture a fleeting, a haunting-sweet fragrance I know,

And all that my happy, freed spirit can do is to sing,
As it dances in tune to that touch, '"Tis the breath of the Spring!
* ('Tis the breath of the Spring!)"

14

The breath of her coming is gentle though wild is the heart
Dreaming such dream of creation that beauty shall start

From the print of her feet as they press down the warm, yield-
ing earth.
I have not forgotten old dreams of bewildering birth

That she brought to the world from afar; almost I do fear
The flood-tide of the beautiful days that too soon will be here:

I know what it is to be breathless at sight of a hill
That is starred with blue flowers as if by a fairy child's will;

To go racing the tops of the hills and to ache with desire
To be one with the woods and the winds and the small secret fire

That sings through the world; and thrilling at flower or tree,
Be shaken with swift, wordless wonder, and strange ecstasy;

To lift hungry eyes the blue limitless distance to meet, —
Then to bow them before the new miracle life at my feet.

But though Spring will bow me and bind beyond hope of release.
And bend my spent spirit to each new audacious caprice,

Yet the breath of her coming is gentle, and lest I should miss
The hush of her footsteps, she brushes my cheek with a kiss;

Her little blown kiss is so brief I scarce feel it at all;
Brushing me light as a small lifted feather let fall,

And velvety soft as the touch of a moth's quiet wing, —
It is wafted: the warm, thrilling, tender sweet kiss of the Spring!

Janef Preston, '21.

EXCUSE.

"Why not come back to Edgewood Lane?" they say

"'Tis quainter far than when you knew it best;

We go there every year to spend a day.

Its quiet oldness brings a sense of rest."

"Oh no, I think I shan't go back again.

Some bright green hills that spread there in the sun

Might now lie sodden, faded by the rain;

A chattering way the small brook took to run

Might now have settled to a mumbling sound;

I should not like to find a slender tree

I used to love grown thick and big around,

Or crumbling rock where straight walls used to be."

I tell them this, — when what I really fear

Is change I might find there in you, — my dear!

Dell Bernhardt, '24.

Happenings on the Campus

THE AGNES SCOTT ATHLETIC CAMP.

One of the nicest things that has happened this year has been
the erection of a real Agnes Scott Camp out at Stone Mountain.
The Athletic Association, having a little money on hand to invest,
conceived the brilliant idea of building a camp for the use of the
girls. Mr. Venable, of Stone Mountain, very generously gave us
permission to build it on his own private lake, and a more beautiful
site could not be imagined. It is built on a little hill right in the
woods, with the mountain looming up behind, and the lake just where
it ought to be, at the foot of the hill.

The girls sign up to spend the week-ends out there, and they
are getting as much pleasure out of it as they anticipated, and that
is an unbelievable amount. They are not going to be selfish with it,
however, for they assure us that they will let the alumnae use it
if there is enough demand for it.

SENIOR OPERA COMPANY PRESENTS "DORA'S GOODENOUGH"
Incidental Dances by the Rush In Ballet.

The climax of Atlanta's Spring Opera season occurred Satur-
day night, May 3, with the presentation of the brilliant and tuneful
success "Dora's Goodenuff" by the Senior Opera Company, at Agnes
Scott College. Agnes Scott again was the mecca of music-lovers, for
this was the only presentation given in the country, of this opera
which was applauded enthusiastically by all and pronounced decided-
ly the best of the season.

Frances Gilliland achieved a triumphant success in her sympa-
thetic and charming interpretation of Glinka, the Russian princess
supposedly a bar maid Mariski Greenvich as Dora, Howieski as
Alexis Valentinor and Lili Anna McAlpinovas Xenia, the czarina,
were most enthusiastically received as well, and held the entire audi-
ence spellbound. Indeed, from the moment the curtain rose with
the tender and endearing strains of "Heavenly Glinka" as sung by
Alexis Valentinor, to the superbly tragic scene at the end of Act
III when Alexis exiled with Gritski and Gritseska to the frozen
plains of Siberia, heroically sings to Glinka, come to rescue him,
the climax song of the opera. "Dora is good enough" and dies,
through all this the audience was completely under the spell of this
powerful Russian opera.

The cast responsible for this great success was:

Glinka Francesca Gillilandoff.

Alexis Valentinor — Vicovitch Howieski.

Dora — Mariski Greenvich.

Fritski — Polliwog Stonov.

Gritsenska, his wife — Deickski Scandrettski.

Xenia — Lila Anna McAplinov.

Traskcanski — Naninci Evane.

Makevoyvitch, a Page — Elsa Esqueve.

Pubedepotsef — Elizabethka Henrovitch.

INCIDENTAL DANCES BY THE RUSH IN BALLET.

Much credit is due also to N. N. Weenonavitch Peckivitch, di-
rector of the orchestra, and to the able board of directors.

ANNUAL MAY DAY CELEBRATION BEAUTIFUL EVENT.
Scenario of Eros and Psyche Presented.

A large crowd was present at Agnes Scott to see the May Day
celebration on May 3, and the dances were as usual, very beautiful.
The scenario of Eros and Psyche, which was given several years
ago when Lucy Durr was May Queen, was presented, and those of
us who saw it then remember how beautiful and effective it was.

Lucy Oliver, the May Queen, in regal white, was crowned by
little Paul McCain. Ruth Slack, little daughter of Julia Pratt
(Smith) Slack was one of the flower bearers. A lovely May Pole
dance by the maids was one of the features of the May Day.

One of the nicest things about this May Day was the number of
alumnae who came to out to see it. We had regular get-together
parties, and a wonderful time talking over old times.

Alumnae Electives

BOOK REVIEWS FOR ALUMNAE.

Among the recent publications for those interested in social
science is F. W. Tickner's Women in English Economic History

(E. P. Dutton). The author, an Englishman who has been a stu-
dent of social and economic history, has put together this latest
little book in order "to tell in simple fashion what exactly has been
woman's place and woman's share in English life and English in-
dustry at all periods of the nation's history." One is perhaps sur-
prised to find how many were the responsibilities which women have
carried, the serf who worked beside her husband in the fields, the
lady of the manor who had to manage the property while her lord
was away at war or at the court. There are also pictures of the
lady of the fifteenth century, of the factory girl of the early nine-
teenth, of the young girl in the mines who bent under the basket
of coal strapped to her back as she climbed up the series of ladders,
three hundred feet from the floor of the pit to the surface of the
earth. The story is carried on through the chapters of women's
activities during the World War.

As a companion book to this of Mr. Tickner's we might suggest
Vida Scudder's Social Ideals in English Letters (new edition by
Houghton Mifflin, 1923). This is a delightful summary, with a
point of view, and will be enjoyed especially by one who has time
to refresh her impressions of the English classics from Bede and
Langland on down. The book would be an excellent guide for a
reading club.

It was perhaps three years ago that Whiting Williams published
the results of his tour of parts of America as an unskilled laborer,
in What Is on the Worker's Mind (Scribner's, 1921,) but readers
are still discovering this book. Mr. Williams was an official of a
large steel mill, and like so many others he was puzzled by labor un-
rest. But unlike others, he set out to seek the causes. It was in his
old clothes that he set forth, with a limited amount of money in
his pocket, and he had neglected to shave. He went to the factory
gates to ask for work, he learned what it means to stand in line
morning after morning, shivering, discouraged; and to be over-
looked when others were hired. When at last he did secure a job, it
was for dirty, heavy work for inhumanly long hours, from the time
he rolled out of bed in the morning until he returned to the mill
town boarding house for another night. Before his return to civili-
zation he was surprised by strange impulses, he found himself re-
acting to his enviornment in ways that a few weeks earlier he would
not have believed possible. He has written for us the reasons which
he found for labor unrest. A somewhat different treatment of the
same subject may be found in Carleton Parker's The Casual Labor-
er and Other Essays (Harcourt, Brace, 1920). Although these es-
says were written some years ago, the problems with which they
are concerned are not yet antiquated.

A timely book, from the pen of the scientist but intended for
the general reader, is the collection of papers published by the Yale
University Press under the general title, The Evoluation of Man.
The papers are: The Antiquity of Man, by Richard S. Lull; The
Natural History of Man, by Harry Burr Ferris; The Evolution
of the Nervous System of Man, by George H. Parker; The Evolu-

1?

tion of Intelligence," by James R. Angell; Social Evolution, by
Albert G. Keller; and The Trend of Evolution, by Edwin G. Conk-
lin. At a time when so many of us are expressing an opinion on a
subject of which most of us are but ill-informed, these concise little
treatises by the experts are more than ordinarily welcome. The
presentation is clear and interesting, and there are numerous draw-
ings, both of living species, and their embryos, and of restorations
of primitive types from fossils.

In connection with this research into man's past, those who have
not yet seen Men of the Old Stone Age, by Henry Fairfield Os-
born, curator of the Natural History Museum in New York, should
look it up. It would be a pity to miss the story of diggings in the old
caves and camp sites of Western Europe, or the fine reproductions
of the cave paintings in those wonderful prehistoric art galleries.

Alumnae Elections

One of the best and most enthusiastic meetings that the Alumnae
Association has ever held took place this Commencement, just after
luncheon which was given by the trustees. The reports showed
steady progress and growth during the year, and the value of the
work of this year's officers cannot be overestimated. They have been
untiring in their service, and have paved the way for next year's
administration.

Alumnae elections for the next two years was part of the busi-
ness of the meeting and we feel that the Association is peculiarly
fortunate in the personnel of its officers. Elections were as follows:

Second Vice-President — Helen (Brown) Webb, '14.

News By Classes

1893 — Secretary, Mary Josephine Barnett Martin (Mrs. A. V.).
Clinton, S. C.

Because letters like the following give us new enthusiasm for
Alumnae work, I think we will all enjoy it.
Secretary, Agnes Scott Alumnae Association.
Decatur, Ga.
Dear Little Sister:

I am helping my husband in his office, and your cordial invita-
tion to all those delightful Reunion celebrations and Commencement
festivities is at home, so please forgive my not being able to recall
your name.

I am middle aged and it has been thirty-one years since I was
an Agnes Scott girl, in actual presence, but I am as thrilled at the
thought of Commencement as I was in the earlier years, and as
keenly disappointed at having to miss it.

The twenty-fifth anniversary Pageant year has been myo nly Class
Reunion, but I delight in a chronic case of anticipation.

Thank you so much for your tantalizing yearly invitations; an
Agnes Scott girl would be heart broken if the connection ever snapped
between her and the blessed old College.

I am enclosing a check for a dollar and a half for my dues and
the Bulletin, or Quarterly, as it has risen to be. It is great.

I think this covers my indebtedness, but I regret very much that
I am not in a position to make a contribution to the Alumnae work
in keeping with my deep interest in it.

With best wishes for all that concerns the welfare of Agnes
Scott,

Most cordially yours,

EMILY DIVVER MOORER,

Class of '93.
1917 — Secretary: Louise Caldwell Tucker (Mrs. J. H.)

Katherine Lindamood Collett lives on a farm near Pembroke, Ken-
tucky. She writes that she finds farm life entirely delightful. She
has a son, John, who was born January 9th, of this year.

Annie Lee is to be married in June to Mr. Frank M. Barker,
also of Birmingham. The wedding will be solemnized in the First
Presbyterian Church of that city.

Augusta Skeen is a member of the faculty at Agnes Scott. It
is unnecessary to state to which department she devotes her time —
every member of 1917 remember her penchant for Chemistry!

Agnes Scott Donaldson still lives in Colorado Springs, although
her address has been changed to 1123 North Cascade Avenue. She
is devoting a large part of her time to Girl Scout work, her troop
consisting of about forty college girls.

Agnes Scott Donaldson is case supervisor of the Associated
Charities of Colorado Springs. She is also deeply interested in Girl
Scout work, being at present leader of a troop of forty college girls.

Jane Harwell Rutland lives in Atlanta. She is very active in
Alumnae affairs.

LOUISE CALDWELL TUCKER, Secretary.

1899 — Secretary: Nellie Mandeville Henderson (Mrs. C. K.)

This year was the twenty-fifth reunion of the class of 1899, and
while it was not possible for many of the class to be present in per-
son, we received several interesting letters saying that they hoped to
be able to be present at the next reunion. One of the most interest-
ing of the letters was from Annie Jean Gash, and we take pleasure
in printing a part of it below.
My dear General Secretary:

Since I cannot come to the '99 reunion, am enclosing herein
(1) ballot for voting — some officers not checked, as I knew nothing
of either — (2) my photograph which Nell Mandeville Henderson
may show to the class, and return to me — (3) a picture of "El
Capitan" — the entrance of Yosemite National Park, California, for
Anna Young House — (4) a check for $5.00, for postage, framing
picture and Alumnae dues.

Please deliver also my love to my class and any other friends
who remember me.

Am sorry I cannot bridge the distance. But I shall take a
mother to Asheville Saturday to see our mountain girls give "Mid-
Summer Night's Dream." I'll listen to our High School Baccalau-
reate (?) on Sunday and probably think of Agnes Scott all the time
and "listen in" at night.

Regretfully yours,

ANNIE JEAN GASH.

1904 — Secretary: Jane Curry,

Laura Candler Wilds (Mrs. Louis T.) has been visiting her moth-
er in Decatur.

Avery Drive, Atlanta.

Mary Wallace Kirk paid a visit to the Alumnae House during
Opera week in Atlanta.

1913 — Secretary: Allie Candler Guy, (Mrs. J. S.), North Decatur
Road, Atlanta.

Lavalette Kennedy Sloan (Mrs. Harlin Tucker) has been visit-
ing Emma Pope Moss Dieckmann (Mrs. C. W.). She brought with
her her two young daughters, who were heartily welcomed on the
campus. Lavalette is very enthusiastic over the improvements on
the campus since she has been here.

Helen Smith Taylor (Mrs. J. W.) intended to come to Commence-
ment this year, and enter her baby in the Alumnae Baby Show, but
illness in her family prevented her coming.
1914 — Lottie May Blair Lawton (Mrs. S. C), Greenville, S. C.

The Class of 1914 held its tenth reunion this year, and it was
indeed a peppy affair. Those present were Lottie May (Blair) Law-
ton, Ruth (Blue) Barnes, Helen (Brown) Webb, Charlotte Jackson,
Linda (Miller) Summer, Zollie (McArthur) Saxon, Mary Pittard, Es-
sie Robert, and Martha (Rogers) Noble. Most of the girls have bob-
bed hair, and Chartie, while she was here followed suit, and bobbed
hers.

1915 — Secretary, Martha Brenner Shryoek, (Mrs. J. N.), 1018 Main
St., Evanston, 111. Reunion 1925.

Margaret N. Anderson Scott (Mrs. L. R.) is the busy wife of
the Presbyterian minister in Valdosta, Ga. Her two sons, one five
years old, the other twenty-two months, see that she does not waste

22

her time. The Woman's Auxiliary of the church find they have a
splendid president in Margaret. In spite of all her home and church
duties, Margaret has glorious times with old Agnes Scott girls. She
reports a visit from Marion Black Cantelou, and a delightful spend
the day party at Josie Jones Paines beautiful country home, when
Rosa Hill Strickland, Marion Black Cantelou, Corine Briggs Smith
and Margaret all talked to their heart's content.

Martha Brenner Shryock, (Mrs. James M.), 1018 Main St., Evan-
ston, 111., has done her very best to get a lot of information about
"1915." Some members of the class have been lazy and have not
answered. She is taking this opportunity to remind all that "1925"
will be the year for our reunion. Keep this in mind and let's have
one hundred per cent present. Martha is counting on a glorious
summer spent in Connecticutt on Long Island Sound. She leaves
Evanston the last of July and will be gone until some time in
September. She hopes that any member of 1915 or any Agnes Scott
friend who comes to Chicago will look her up.

Gertrude Briesenick Ross (Mrs. J. H.) has just moved from Sa-
vannah, Ga., to Jacksonville, Fla. Her new address is 205 W. Third
St. She has a lovely apartment overlooking a park and is all settled
even though she only moved at Easter time. In August she expects
to go to Connecticut for a visit with her parents. Martha B.
Shryock and Gertrude are planning for a grand Agnes Scott talk
when they meet in Connecticut in August.

Elizabeth Bulgin Hamilton (Mrs. Gilbert A.), Fort Myers, Fla.
We hear that Bess is leading a busy life at 212 Forolee St., Mary
Hyer Vick reports a visit from Bess last summer.

Sallie Correre did not answer the Secretarys letter, but she
will be forgiven since June 18th will find Sallie no longer just "Sal-
lie" but Mrs. James S. Bussy, Jr. The following is copied from
the Augusta Chronicle, April 27, 1924.

"Mr. Henry Maynard Carrere announces the engagement of his
daughter, Sallie Huger, to Mr. James Samuel Bussy, Jr., the wedding
to take place in June. Rumor says it will be a noon wedding at
St. Paul's Episcopal church. Mr. Bussy is a lawyer. The class sends
best wishes to Sallie and Mr. Bussy.

Jessie Ham — we hear that Jessie is teaching in Birmingham,
Ala. Her address is 2319 Eleventh Ave., N. We wish we knew
more about Jessie.

Mary Evelyn Hamilton's home address is Lexington, Va. Mary
had a delightful summer abroad last year and has been teaching in
Charleston, S. C, this year.

Grace Harris, 912 Government St., Mobile, Ala. Grace is hav-
ing a grand time directing the Young People's Work at the Govern-
ment Street Presbyterian church. She just loves the work, but says
she doesn't believe there is such a thing as half-time service for she
spends her whole time on the job. Grace went to the Sunday School
Convention in Montgomery and dined with Marion Block Cantelon
in her lovely new home. Recently Grace was a delegate to the Pres-
byterial at Brewton and was on the same program with Charlotte
Jackson. We are proud of all Grace is doing.

Mary Hyer Vick (Mrs. J. Earle), Winter Garden, Fla. Mary
writes "I have two dandy boys of which we are duly proud. Can
you imagine a six and four-year old tagging me as 'Mother?' Being
in the country and Earle having to keep no regular hours, we lead

23

quite a care-free life." Mary did not mention it, but we hear she is
helping Earle grow oranges.

Frances Kell Munson (Mrs. E. O.) with her three little children,
Edward O., Jr., five years, Betty Del, 2 years, and Richard Kell,
three months, is visiting Dr. and Mrs. Kell in Pascagonla, Miss.
Frances' hands are full looking after these lively creatures. Frances
thinks she has the largest family of the 1915's. If she is mistaken,
let her know.

Mary Kelly Coleman (Mrs. Emmet Lee) is busy in Barnesville,
Ga., looking after her good husband, lovely bungalow and the wel-
fare of the community. We hear she is Vice President of the Three
Arts Club, Superintendent of Mission and Bible Study in her church,
and Chairman of the Carnegie Library Board. She has just returned
from a two weeks' visit in Chattanooga, and thinks she will stay
home most of the summer. We can't believe she will, for we know
how Mary loves to go.

Sallie May King, home address Elkton, Tenn. Sallie is teaching
in the Hannah Moore Academy, Reistierstorm, Md., From past knowl-
edge of Sallie, we imagine she is teaching Latin.

Henrietta Lamblin Turner (Mrs. H. J.) of McDonough, Ga.,
writes that she is so busy rearing two future citizens that very lit-
tle of interest happens to her. Last year she was President of the
Missionary Society in her church, and this year she has charge of
the work among the children. She was a member of the State Dem-
ocratic Convention held in Atlanta in April, and she helped elect
McAdoo in her county in March. What more can Henrietta want to
do!

Lula G. Maddox, 6701 Third Ave., S., Birmingham, Ala. Lula
has spent much time in seeing the country since she left Agnes
Scott. Last year she was assistant registrar at Berea College, and
now she says she is "weaving" everything which helps supply her
gift shop.

Mildred McGuire married Bess Bulgin's brother, L. J. Bulgin,
a year ago last February. She lives in Salem, Oregon. We were
sorry to hear that she lost her baby only a few days old, last Jan-
uary. Mildred is a long way from Agnes Scott, but we hope she
plans her visit home next year so as to stop by for reunion.

Lucy Jordon Naive is teaching at Queens College, Charlotte. She
is very much charmed with Charlotte and North Carolina. She says
she sees lots of Agnes Scott people. Lucy represented 1915 at this
year's convention. We, who can't come, envy her.

Catherine Parker was teaching school in Atlanta the last we
heard from her.

Kate Richardson Wicker (Mrs. John J., Jr.), 1207 Confederate
Ave., Richmond. We are disappointed that Kate did not write us
about her family. She has two children and a lovely home so there
must be a lot to tell us.

Mary Helen Schneider Head (Mrs. Ben) says: "All about my-
self" is easily told in the fact that we are building a new house.
We are terribly enthused over it and naturally are very busy. We
expect to get in on the first of June, so any time the 1915's come
to town I want them to try out the new guest room. Let's start a
chain letter. Mary Helen's new address is 8 E. Nineteenth St., At-
lanta.

Frances West is at home this year. Her address is 801 Beach

24

Drive, South, St. Petersburg, Fla. She teaches Biology in the High
School. This summer she will spend in Calofirnia and will study
at the University for six weeks. She helped organize a branch of
the A. A. U. W. in St. Petersburg and is President of it. Frances
says "Let's try to have a real reunion next year." We hope every
member of 1915 feels that way about the reunion.

Mary West Thatcher (Mrs. Samuel Eugene), 160 Lullwater
Road, Atlanta, Ga. Mary deserted her beautiful home for a lovely
visit to Florida this winter. She has worked hard as treasurer for
the Atlanta Agnes Scott Club, and has been chairman of the Enter-
tainment Committee of the Alumnae Association. With commence-
ment in full swing we are sure Mary is very busy.

use to her Alma Mater.

the most attractive stunts that was given. The stunt was worked
up by Janef Preston. 1921 held its reunion luncheon at East Lake.

Announcements

Up to the present time, the Alumnae Quarterly has been sent to
every one who has ever paid dues to the Alumnae Association, for
the Executive Committee felt that all that our alumnae need in order
to make them active members of the Association is to know what
we are doing, and what we hope to do. Two years under that regime
have passed by, and the time has come as the Walrus said, to talk
of other things. The Committee has now decided that it is not fair
for those who pay dues to finance the sending of the alumnae pub-
lication to those who take but little interes.t in the Association.
Everyone will agree that it is only fair that the publication be sent
only to those who have paid dues for the current year. If you want
to get the Alumnae Quarterly next year, be sure that your dues for
1924-25 are paid.

GRADUATE FELLOWSHIPS OPEN TO WOMEN.

This is a useful pamphlet published by the American Association
of University Women, telling of fellowships and scholarships, of va-
rious amounts open to women. Price 25c. Send orders to the office

FOR SALE: PICTURES OF AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE.

A delightful series of miniature photographs, scenes of the cam-
pus, the buildings and college activities. Twenty-five pictures for
25c. Order from the General Secretary.

LOUISE McKINNEY PLAY CONTEST.

This contest is open to all alumnae. The prize, $250.00, will be
given only upon the following conditions: There must be at least
