Agnes Scott Institute*

DKCATUR Female Seminary, with a faculty
of four teachers, entered the field of Chris-
tian education in a rented building Sep-
tember, 1889. The following spring Col. George W.
Scott, a member of the Board of Trustees, and one
of the leaders in founding the institution, generously
proposed to provide a permanent home for the school.
His liberal offer having been gratefully accepted,
he purchased a beautiful site, erected the present
brick building, furnished and equipped it in the
best manner at a total cost of over $112,000, and at
its dedication, November 12, 1891, presented to the
Board of Trustees a deed of gift covering the entire
property. The only two conditions of this great
gift were readily accepted by the Board, and were
as follows :

1. "The institution shall be perpetually known
as the Agnes Scott Institute. I desire it to bear
this title in memory of my deceased mother, to
whose prayers and faithful training I owe much.

2. The property shall be used perpetually as a
female school of learning."

The growth of the Institute has been marked and
most gratifying in every respect in the number of
teachers and pupils, in curriculum, in standard, in
spirit, and in advantages. It has won for itself a
wide reputation for honest, thorough work, and for
offering the highest and best things in education.

13

OBJECT OF THE INSTITUTE.

Its great object from the very first has been^ The
glory of God in the higher Christian Education of
young women. The founders of the institution be-
lieve that God in His Word had assigned to woman
a sphere, and given to her a work of inexpressible
importance to the welfare of church and state.
They also believe that to fit woman for the greatest
efficiency in her God-given sphere and work, she
needs the very best education an education which
would carefully guard and promote her physical
development ; which would give thorough mental
training and furnishing ; which would give that
refinement and those accomplishments which adorn
womanhood ; and which, above all^ would form and
develop the highest type of character.

HOW IT IS PROPOSED TO ACCOMPLISH THIS

OBJECT :

1. By having a liberal curriculum.

2. By making the Bible Course a part of the cur-
riculum. It is confidently believed that the Bible is
essential to the higher education, and indispensable
to the formation and development of the highest type
of character.

3. By offering optional Cotcrses of study. Recog-
nizing the fact that minds, tastes and future plans
differ, the Institute offers four different Courses,
Classical, Literary, Scientific and Normal.

4. By having the best teachers. The Board of
Trustees have endeavored to secure teachers who
possess the highest qualifications for teaching ; who

14

Agnes Scott Institute^

nave had a successful experience in their profession ;
who possess the highest type of character ; who are
in full sympathy with the objects and plans of the
school, and who will do all they can in and out of
the class room to insure the largest success of the
institution.

5. By mamtaining a high standard of scholarship.
The Institute endeavors to do honest, thorough
work. No student will be promoted from one class
to another, much less graduated, who does not come
up to the prescribed standard.

6. By making the Institute a delightful Christia7t
honie^ and filling it with refining, elevating and
edifying influences.

While the above are the means by which the au-
thorites of the Institute seek to accomplish the
great objects they have in view, yet the fact is dis-
tinctly recognized that after all they are only 77ieans^
and that success must come from God. As in the
past, so in the future, they will earnestly plan and
labor in humble reliance upon Him.

Course of Instruction.

COLLEGIATE DEPARTMENT.

This department is distributed into the following
Schools, each constituting a complete course on the
subject taught :

1. School of English.

2. School of Mathematics.

3. School of Science.

4. School of the Bible.

5. School of History.

6. School of Philosophy.

7. School of Ancient Ivanguages.

8. School of Modern Languages.

9. School of Pedagogy.

ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE.

Miss McKinney.

The aim of the English course is twofold, viz. :
to train pupils to write not only correctly, but also
clearly and impressively; and to create in them a
desire to read and to know what is best in literature.

To gain the desired result in the former, pupils
are taught the principles which govern clear and cor-
rect writing, and are frequently called upon to put
these principles into practice, in essays upon given
subjects.

As the first step toward gaining the object of the
Literature course, the student is required to study
carefully the works of such authors as will interest

17

Course of Instruction*

and give insight into the times of which they are
representative. These masterpieces are carefully
discussed in class. As a second step toward this
object, at the end of each session a course of in-
structive and pleasant reading, outside of regular
class work, is assigned to each class, to be reported
upon by the end of the following session.

Believing that no English course is well rounded
without some knowledge of the history of the I^an-
guage and of Old English, these subjects have been
introduced into the course.

H. B, Arbttckle,

Freshman Year.

(Four Hours a Week.)

A practical course in General Biology is offered
during this year, which includes a study of animal
morphology and physiology Zoology ; and a study
of vegetable morphology and physiology Botany.

This course will be elementary and founded on
selected portions of Davis's text-book of Biology.
In connection with the lectures and recitations a.

22

Course of Instruction^

regular course of laboratory work will be main-
tained, in which the lower forms of life, such as the
amoeba, the hydra, the yeast plant, moulds, etco
will be studied under the microscope, and higher
forms, such as the oyster, the crayfish, the frog, the
chicken, etc., will be dissected. The object of this
course is to give the students a knowledge of the
most important phenomena of animal and plant
life.

During a part of the second term an elementary
course in the botany of flowering plants is given.
The various parts of a plant, such as seeds, roots,
stem, leaves, etc., are studied and this is followed
b)y an examination and classification of the ordinary
native plants of the vicinity. This course com-
prises two hours a week of laboratory work, and so
much of field work as circumstances will allow.
The text-book will be Gray's School and Field
Botany, including Manual.

These courses in Biology are supplemented by
special courses in the Sophomore year, which will
l)e elective and designed especially for those desir-
ing special work in Zoology and Botany with a
view to teaching these branches.

Sophomore Year.

The time during this year is divided between
Chemistry and Physics, two-thirds being devoted to
Chemistry and one-third to Physics. The Chemis-
try course consists of lectures, recitations, and labo-
ratory work on inorganic chemistry, using Remsen's
Inorganic Chemistry (small book) as basis of the
'work. In this course laboratory work is esse?tiial.

23

Course of Instruction^

No student who is not faithful and presevering in
this branch of the work will be allowed to pass.

Many experiments will serve as class demonstra-
tions, but all except the most difficult ones must-
be repeated by the students in the laboratory.
From time to time students will be called upon to
arrange and execute certain experiments before the
class, under the direction of the instructor.

Monthly lectures will be given on industrial
chemistry, which are designed to explain the princi-
ples of many important manufacturing processes,
such as glass-making, rubber manufacture, pottery,
tanning, dyeing, bleaching, etc.

The Physics of this year will embrace a study of
those properties of matter and those facts and laws
of mechanics, heat, light and electricity which stand
in most intimate connection with chemical phenom-
ena. The two sciences will thus be developed
side by side, so that their mutual relations will be
understood. The Institution affords unusual facili-
ties for laboratory work in Physics, and this will be
required of every student pursuing these studies.

An elective course is offered throughout this year
to students who desire to extend their studies in
Zoology and Botany.

It will be almost wholly a laboratory course, and
fine opportunities are offered students to learn the
various uses of the compound microscope in this
field. Dissection of plants and animals will be ex-
tended to more complex forms, collection of speci-
mens will be made with a view to giving the Insti-
tute a good museum, and sectioning, staining, and
preserving microscopical specimens will be studied.

24

Course of Instruction^

Junior Year,

Two-thirds of the time will be devoted to a fur-
ther study of Physics. Mechanics, sound, heat,
electricity, magnetism and light will be taken up in
order and, besides the lectures and demonstrations
by the instructor, the students must spend regular
hours in the laboratory performing such experiments
as illustrate the facts and principles brought out in
the class-room. The text-book will be Avery's
Physics. Reference Ganot and Barker.

The remaining third of the time will be devoted
to a study of Organic Chemistry (Remsen's Organic
Chemistry), the laboratory work bearing a just pro-
portion to the lectures and recitations.

There is offered during this year an elective
course in chemistry which is essentially a labora-
tory course, and is designed to give the students a
practical knowledge of qualitative chemistry, and
of the most common methods of quantitative analy-
sis. A portion of the time is given to inorganic
and organic preparations.

The students will have access to certain of the
current scientific periodicals, and every effort will
be made to cultivate in them the faculty of observa-
tion and the spirit of investigation.

Senior Year,

The study of Geology extends throughout the
first term, and its various branches are taken up
systematically. i, Mineralogy and Crystallogra-
phy are studied from a practical standpoint, resort
being had to previously acquired chemical knowl-
edge for identification of minerals ; 2, Petrography

25

Course of Instruction*

will embrace a study of the origin, physical proper-
ties, distribution and classification of rock struc-
tures ; 3, Dynamical and Structural Geology will
explain the forces which have been at work and are
now at work in determining the form and structure
of the earth ; 4, Historical Geology and Paleontol-
ogy will be included in the course, and application
will be made of knowledge acquired in Zoology and
Botany to the interpretation of the animal and plant
life represented in the fossil remains of the geologi-
cal ages of the earth's history.

lycConte's Geology will be the text-book, but
reference to Dana's Mineralogy, Geikie's Geology
and other suitable books will be made.

Through the kindness and generosity of Mr.
N. P. Pratt, Dr. D. A. Shumate, Geo. W. Scott and
others a mineralogical cabinet of over 300 choice
specimens has been recently added to this depart-
ment, which will be of great value to the geological
students.

The second term will be devoted to Astronomy,
which will be studied in two divisions : i, Celestial
Mechanics ; 2, Practical and Theoretical Astronomy.

Though denied the use of the large and refined
instruments now at the command of wealthy insti-
tutions, photographs and stereopticon views of the
instruments now in use in the Yerkes and Lick
Observatories will be presented, and their working
described. The Institute has a small telescope which
will add much interest to these studies. Text-book,
Young. Reference, Newcomb & Holden.

26

Course of Instruction*

SCHOOL OF THE BBLE AND ETHICS*

Df. Gaines.

This is a three years' course, beginning with Soph-
omore year, two hours a week. It forms a necessary
part of the graduate courses.

Objects*

1. To give a clear knowledge of Biblical History.
The facts of this history not only form the basis of
our religion, but have determined the history of the
race, and especially of Christendom.

2. To give in some measure an adequate view of
the value of the Bible. While the Bible is theoret-
ically considered the greatest book in existence, yet
comparatively few have a true appreciation of the
ground of this claim.

3. To teach how to study the Bible. Much Bible
reading and even Bible study is unsatisfactory for
the lack of the best method of study.

How tlie Cottfse is Taugiit.

1. The Bible itself is the main text-book ; other
books are used only as guides or helps.

2. The Bible is taught systematically^ i. e. accord-
ing to a plan. The plan used is to divide each
Testament into periods according to the epoch in
the history, and to study these periods in order.

3. The Bible is taught analytically. Each period
is carefully analyzed and the material orderly ar-
ranged. Then, as time permits, books and chapters
are analyzed.

27

Course of Instruction^

4. The Bible is taught in the light of Biblical
Geography. The location of an event not only-
makes it more real and helps to fix it in the mind,
but often enables us to understand it. The latest
Biblical Geography and the best wall maps are used.

5. The Bible is always taught as the inspired
word of God.

The course is arranged as follows :

Sophomore Year.

Creation to the Kingdom ; Bible Course : Out-
lines and Notes (Gaines) ; Manual of Biblical Geog-
raphy (Hurlbut) ; Manual of Bible History (Blaikie).

Junior Year.

Old Testament completed ; Bible Course : Out-
lines and Notes (Gaines) ; Hurlbut and Blaikie con-
tinued.

New Testament ; Bible Course : Outlines and
Notes (Gaines) ; Harmon}^ of the Gospels (Broadus);
Hurlbut and Blaikie continued ; Evidences of
Christianity (Alexander).

Bach student should be supplied with a good copy
of the Revised Version.

All students who do not take the regular Bible
course are required to recite one lesson a week either
in the Story of the Bible (Foster), Studies in the
Four Gospels (Hurlbut), or Blaikie's Bible History.

ETHICS.

Text-books. Dabney's Practical Philosophy, and
Hopkins's Law of Love and Love as a Law. Refer-
ences are made to Jouffroy, Dewey and others.
Written exercises, including essays, reviews and

28

Course of Instruction^

critical comparisons, are required throughout the
year.

The first part of the year is devoted to the study
of Theoretical Ethics as treating of the Sensibilities,
the Will, and Theories of the Ethical Sentiments.
The second part of the course considers Applied
Ethics in which the First Principles of Social Ethics
are discussed and their connection with the Individ-
ual, the Family, the State, with Property, with
Special Relations and Relations to God.

SCHOOL OF HISTORY.

Miss Massie,

In this department effort is made to arouse in the
pupil enthusiasm and love for the study of History,
and to teach the best methods of pursuing it, not
only for its own sake, but also as an essential to the
intelligent pursuit of other branches. The course
for the first two years is carried on by means of
recitations, topical work both written and oral
maps, chronological tables and outlines. In the
third year, in addition to the above, parallel read-
ing is assigned and essays required at intervals.

A reading-room, well supplied v/ith the best
periodicals, enables the pupils to prepare themselves
for a weekly discussion of topics of the day and
matters of general information.

SCHOOL OF ANCIENT LANGUAGES*

LATIN.
Miss Morrow.

It is of first importance that the student have a
knowledge of Latin forms and syntax. To this end
the first two years will be given largely to a study
of these and to their practical application in prose
composition. Sight-reading and writing will be
insisted on from the first, as this gives a facility
hard to acquire otherwise. Frequent abstracts of
passages translated will be made. The Geography
and History of the text will be studied. Pupils in
this department will be required to take the course

32

Course of Instruction^

in Roman History given in the School of History.
During- the last two years of the course less time
will be given to form and syntactical work, and
more attention paid to the spirit and style of the
writers. The translations will not be so literal as
in the early part of the course, though the use of
clear, pure English will be insisted on throughout.

The Roman pronunciation will be used.

The applicant for entrance will be expected to
have a good, general knowledge of forms and syn-
tax as included in Collar and Daniell's First Latin
Book, or its equivalent, and to have done some read-
ing preparatory to beginning Csesar.

gotten by reading from the library and from pas-
sages in the authors read in the course.

cept where otherwise designated.

GREEK.
Miss Morrow.

In the South the standard of education for woman
is growing broader and higher every year, and with
this growth comes a demand for Greek in female

34

Course of Instruction^

schools. Mississippi, Texas and other Southern
States now teach Greek in their best public schools.
The study of Latin is now almost universally re-
quired. Why should not Greek be, giving, as it
does, the same mental drill, but paving the way for
the appreciation and enjoyment of a literature of
which the Roman was largely a follower, and which
has never been surpassed in the literature of any
race ?

The methods of teaching will in this department
be substantially the same as are used in the school
of Latin. Mythology will not be taught here, as
most students who take Greek will take Latin also,
and a course in Mythology is given there. All pu-
pils in Greek will be required to study Grecian his-
tory as given in the School of History.

Freslunan Year,

Text-books : White's First Greek Book, Cebe's
Tablet ; parallel reading, Hawthorne's Tanglewood

SCHOOL OF MODERN LANGUAGES*

FRENCH.
Miss Massie.

Freshman Year.

Le Fran9ais Pratique, Percy.

In this the elements of French Grammar are
studied, its principles being illustrated from easy
prose readings. Almost daily memorizing is re-
quired as a means of acquiring a good pronunciation
and as an aid to conversation.

Sophomore Year.

The more difficult principles of French Grammar
are studied in this class, exercises are written and
idioms are carefully considered.

Reading of college plays, Daudet's Contes, dicta-
tion, memorizing and conversation.

36

Course of Instruction^

Junior Year.

Macmillan's Third Year in French. The History
of French Literature.

Exercises in prose composition, dictation, letter-
writing and conversation. The first half-year the
classical drama is studied, the rest of the year is
given to the nineteenth century writers. Aside
from the reading done in the class-room, private
parallel reading is required. Throughout the course
French is used as far as practicable as the medium
of instruction.

GERMAN.
Miss SiiepparcJ.

Freshman Year.

Deutsche Grammatik, Joynes-Meissner ; Studien
und Plaudereien, ist Series ; Bilderbuch ohne
Bilder ; Im Zwielicht, Part I. ; Conversation, with
Written Exercises; Exercises Memorized.

Sophomore Year.

Deutsche Grammatik, Collar's Eysenbach ; Stu-
dien und Plaudereien, 2d Series ; Im Zwielicht,
Part II. ; Immensee ; Undine ; Conversation and
Written Exercises ; Selections Memorized.

Junior Year.

Deutsche Grammatik ; Spanhoofd, Maria Stuart
or Jungfrau von Orleans ; Herman and Dorothea ;
Wilhelm Tell ; Iphigenie ; Poems Memorized.

The explanation of class directions in German is

37

Course of Instruction^

given during the first few lessons of the study, and
the language is itself used in giving instruction.
This is more and more exclusively done as the
vocabulary of the pupils increases. Chief attention
is paid the first year to reading the language with
ease and to acquiring a knowledge of the idiom.
Declension and conjugation forms are memorized.

The second year the aim is mostly translation
and composition. Declension and conjugation forms
are reviewed, and model sentences, embodying diffi-
cult grammatical constructions, are memorized.
While committing vocabularies is not depended
upon entirely in securing command of the language,
it is used to the extent of learning the vocabularies
in the grammar.

The reading of the third year is combined with a
critical study of the language and its literature.

A Conversation Club has been formed, into which
it is designed to introduce readings, recitations,
music and dramatic performances.

Throughout the course sight translation is a
prominent feature, and the material read in class is
made the basis of conversation.

SCHOOL OF PEDAGOGY*

Teaching is rapidly becoming a profession for
which special training and technical knowledge are
demanded. All parts of the country are seeking
teachers of a much higher standard of qualification
than ever before. Every thinking person must

38

Course of Instruction^

acknowledge that this demand for thoroughly
trained and equipped teachers is reasonable and
right. It is difficult to conceive of a more important
and responsible work than that of training the rising
generation. To prepare those who are to engage
in this work is the object of the Institute in arrang-
ing a Normal Course.

This school is a specific part of the Normal Course,
the general character of which is indicated on
page 47.

Work in this school is arranged to occupy two
years, three hours a week. It can be taken up in
connection with or subsequent to that in the School
of Philosophy.

The most recent works on Education are con-
sulted as well as the writings of Locke, Rousseau,
Pestalozzi, Froebel, Page, Payne, Compayre, Rich-
ter, Spencer, Goethe, Plato, and many others.

Able lecturers engaged in educational work ad-
dress the students from time to time, and the classes
of the Institute and of the Atlanta Public Schools
are cordially open for observation work.

First Year. Theory and Practice ; Methods ;
Forms of Desire ; Will ; Aim of Education ; Moral
Strength of Character ; Observation Work ; Lec-
tures on Pedagogy.

Second Year. Outlines of Educational Doctrine ;

Organization ; School Ethics ; School Government ;
Many-Sidedness of Interest ; The Doctrine of Ap-
perception, Its Application to Pedagogy ; The

practice one hour daily ; more advanced pupils, two
hours. Pupils in voice culture will practice one
hour a day. Special students can arrange for more
time.

58

Course of Instruction^

COLLEGIATE DEPARTMENT.

To meet more fully the needs of an increasing
number of young women who wish to acquire at
the same time a liberal literary as well as musical
education, it has been decided to open this depart-
ment. Music thereby becomes an elective study
in the Literary Course. This includes study of a
solo instrument or singing, together with the full
course in Harmony, History of Music and Musical
Science. Special attention is called to this depart-
ment, offering as it does such broad musical train-
ing, which may serve as the basis for the practical
work of a specialist, either in musical criticism or in
music in the public schools.

The library is well supplied with standard books
of reference, histories, biographies, collections of
letters, critical and historical essays, theoretical
works, etc. The leading musical periodicals are
also received.

50

Course of Instruction.

Excellent opportunity in the way of good models
and thorough instruction is offered those desiring
to study china painting, tapestry, and other lines of
decorative painting.

Pastel and photo-crayon also taught.

A sufficient knowledge of drawing will be re-
quired before entering upon the study of these
branches.

Instruction in free-hand drawing is given to the
pupils in the Primary Department without extra
charge ; also to all other students for one hour a
week during one term.

Course of Instruction.

ELOCUTIOR

Miss Mitchell.

The method aims to develop strong, graceful and
natural speakers and readers ; to do away with su-
perficial work, all tricks of voice and gesture, and
to teach how to interpret the highest and best forms
of literature with simplicity and truth.

Classes in reading give special attention to breath-
ing, articulation, pronunciation, and correct voice
production. They are carefully trained also in
analysis and expression.

(VZ

Examinations.

EXAMINATIONS.

In addition to frequent reviews, two general ex-
aminations are held each year.

While these examinations are thorough and com-
prehensive, they are not of such length as to be irk-
some and injurious.

The final grade and promotion of the pupil is de-
termined from the record of daily recitations and
examinations, and thus the student is stimulated to
thorough preparation for the class-room, and also to
a permanent acquisition of knowledge.

A grade mark or percentage of at least 80 in each
class must be obtained to pass a pupil from a lower
to a higher class.

REPORTS*

A permanent record of attendance, deportment,
and class standing is kept, from which reports are
made and sent to parents and guardians quarterly.

THE BLUE LIST.

For the information of parents and friends of
pupils, there is distributed on Commencement Day
The Blue Ust.

This list is in the nature of a roll of honor, and
contains the names of all pupils who have obtained
an average mark of 80 or more on their year's work
in their respective classes, and are consequently
passed to the higher classes.

Those pupils whose average is above 90 are dis-

Examinations^

tinguished^ and their names are printed on The
Blue List, with numbers preceding, which indicate
the order of their class standing, and they also re-
ceive certificates of distinctio7i ; the others are placed
in alphabetical order.

The Blue List also contains the names of all grad-
uates, medalists, etc.

The member of the graduating class who has
made an average of 95 or above on the entire course
will be awarded the First Honor. The member of
the class whose average on the entire course is above
90 and less than 95, will be awarded Second Honor.

CERTMCATES AND DIPLOMAS*

Certificates of Distinction are given to those
pupils whose yearly average is 90 per cent, or
more.

Certificates of Proficiency are given to those
pupils who complete satisfactorily the course of
study prescribed in any school.

DIPLOMAS,

A pupil who completes satisfactorily any one of
the four courses of study, viz.: Literary, Classical,
Scientific, or Normal, receives a diploma with the
title Graduate.

GENERAL INFORMATION.

Location*

The Institute is located so nearly upon the crest
of a commanding ridge that the rain from one side
of the roof, following the natural watershed, finds
its destination in the Gulf of Mexico, and from the
other side flows on to the Atlantic.

The elevation of the main building is approxi-
mately 1,050 feet above sea level, and from its cen-
tral tower may be seen the peaks of the North
Georgia mountains and those of the Blue Ridge.

The climate is bracing, the drainage naturally
perfect, and the water, the purest freestone, is un-
contaminated by sewerage.

Decatur is six miles northeast of Atlanta, imme-
diately on the Georgia Railroad. It is also con-
nected with the city by two electric lines with 20-
and 30-minute schedules. The Georgia Railroad
runs frequent passenger-trains, all of which stop at
Decatur, thus making it quite convenient for all
those living between Lithonia and Decatur, as well
as between Atlanta and Decatur, to attend the In-
stitute.

The accessibility and nearness of Decatur to the
city of Atlanta, with its system of railways reach-
ing every portion of the South Atlantic States,
places the Institute within convenient reach of
every section.

The situation of Decatur, sheltered from the cold

67

General Information^

winds of the more northerly section by the Blue
Ridge range of mountains, and yet at an altitude
far beyond the malarial lowlands of the South At-
lantic and Gulf States, gives to the institute many
of the pleasant and beneficial effects of a delightful
health resort. Persons residing in South Georgia,
Florida, South Alabama, Mississippi and other Gulf
States, will find here an atmosphere invigorating
and bracing, but not severe ; while others resident
in more northerly sections will escape the severities
of a rigorous winter climate without encountering
malarial or enerv^ating influences.

The town has excellent telegraphic, telephonic,
postal and express facilities.

Presbyterian, Methodist and Baptist churches
have regular services and resident pastors. There
are also weekly services at the Episcopal chapel.

The Donald Fraser High School for boys, a pre-
paratory school of high grade and superior man-
agement, is located here.

The society is educated and refined, and charac-
terized by an unusually high moral tone. The
founders of this school believe its location to be an
ideal one.

Buildings,

The Main Building, completed and occupied for
the first time in the fall of 1 891, is a massive edi-
fice, simple in architecture, yet not lacking in im-
pressiveness.

It is constructed of brick, granite and marble ; is
one hundred and ninety-four feet long, fifty-four
feet wide, and four stories high exclusive of base-

68

General Information*

ment. The engine room, electric light plant, steam
laundry and kitchen are apart from the main build-
ing.

The entire building is heated and ventilated by
the indirect steam method, and lighted by electric-
ity.

Chapel, parlors, office and class-rooms occupy the
first floor ; the sleeping apartments, accommodating
two to four pupils each, the second and third floors
of the building. All of these rooms are thoroughly
ventilated by outside windows and over 500 feet of
wide halls.

The chambers are unusually large and arranged
so as to admit abundant sunlight, and in their con-
struction especial attention was given to securing
perfect ventilation. The furniture and appoint-
ments are homelike and comfortable, and the build-
ing is carpeted throughout. While luxury has not
been studied, every convenience necessary for health
and comfort has been supplied. In this respect
few homes in the country are more complete.

The school of music and the art studio occupy the
entire fourth floor.

Each floor is supplied with water, bath and toilet
rooms, electric bells and ample hose and fire buckets.
The buildings and grounds are abundantly supplied
with pure freestone water from a large spring near
the Institute, from which the water is pumped into
a cistern, and thence into a large tank in the tower
and from this distributed through the buildings and
grounds. Drinking-water is supplied from an ex-
cellent well in the grounds.

71

General Information,

A watchman is on duty all night, and his numer-
ous stations throughout the building and around
premises are registered by an electric watchman's
clock.

The Institute Home*

Every effort is made to give the Institute the
character of a Christian home. Teachers and pupils
constitute one household. Care is taken to render
the home life of the student not only attractive, but
conducive to the cultivation of those graces of char-
acter which mark refined women. Only such re-
strictions are thrown around the pupils as are con-
sidered important for their health, safety, and im-
provement. Importance is attached to the cultiva-
tion of that considerate regard for the wishes and
feelings of others which leads to courteous de-
portment.

A student who persists in disobedience or disre-
spect, or even neglect of duty, and who is evidently
gaining no good herself and hindering others, is not
permitted to remain in the Institute. Pupils are
not allowed to leave the grounds without permis-
sion, or unaccompanied by a teacher. Frequently
during the school year instruction in manners and
etiquette is given by the principal.

The rooms of the Institute are carpeted and com-
fortably furnished, and are thoroughly warmed and
ventilated. The occupants of each room are re-
quired to keep it in order, and all rooms are daily
inspected.

The rooms are never crowded ; they are con-
structed for two, three, and a few for four occupants,

72

BED ROO^I (LARGE SIZE).

GLIMPSE OF INFIRMARY,

General Information^

and in no instance will they be crowded beyond
their capacity for health and comfort.

Rooms are assigned in the order of application
for entrance.

The Intendant of the Infirmary is in special
charge of the dormitory floors. She will at all
times rigidly inspect the rooms of the pupils and
see that they are neatly and properly kept in order,
reporting any dereliction to the Principal.

Outfit*

Each boarding pupil must furnish two pair of
sheets, two pair of pillow-cases, six table napkins,
napkin ring, six towels, two laundry bags, gossa-
mer, umbrella, and a pair of rubber shoes. The
pillow-cases should be 35 by 22 inches.

All articles, including trunks, must be plainly
and durably marked with the name of the owner.
Failure to comply with this requirement causes con-
fusion and loss.

It is urged upon parents not to burden their
daughters with the care of valuable jewelry or an
expensive wardrobe. Each outfit should contain,
besides school dresses, one street suit and wraps of
light and heavy weight. A simple evening dress,
high-necked and long-sleeved, will be found con-
venient, but not necessary. Pupils will not be per-
mitted to wear low-necked dresses.

Health and Physical Training.

In pursuing a course of study good health is of
the highest importance. There is in this institu-
tion a close and intelligent supervision over the

75

General Information^

health of the boarding pupils. The best medical
advice is secured and a competent nurse provided.
All the conditions of proper sanitation are carefully
observed. The Institute has a superior system of
sewerage and an abundant supply of the purest
water. From basement to attic much care is exer-
cised to maintain cleanliness and healthfulness.

A suite of rooms including bedroom, sitting-room
and nurse's room, in a retired section of the build-
ing, on the second floor, has been set aside and is
used exclusively as an infirmary. The infirmary is
in charge of the intendant, who is in constant at-
tendance in cases of sickness.

Dr. W. S. Kendrick, the Institute physician, is
in telephonic communication, visits the school
periodically, and in case of illness is summoned
promptly.

Parents are urged to communicate freely with the
Principal concerning the physical condition of their
daughters at the time of their entrance ; and to state
whether their daughters have any special weakness,
or tendency to disease, or idiosyncrasies of consti-
tution.

The Trustees feel that they can conscientiously
assure parents that, in cases of illness, their daugh-
ters will receive prompt and skillful medical atten-
tion, faithful and tender nursing, and in every case
of serious illness they will be promptly advised.

Physical Cttltttre,

The Trustees, appreciating the importance of
physical exercise and training as conducive alike to

76

health and grace of carriage, have provided a regu-
lar and systematic course in physical culture.

The Institute Gymnasium contains the best ap-
paratus, including Horizontal and Vaulting Bars,
Horse, Flying-rings, Chest-weights, Clubs, Wands,
Dumb-bells, Rings, Hoops, etc.

All of the work is under the supervision of a com-
petent teacher, and the greatest care is taken that
no one overtax her strength. All students, unless
excused by the proper authority, are expected to
exercise daily in the gymnasium, for which no extra
charge is made. When the weather permits, exer-
cise out of doors is frequently substituted for work
in the gymnasium. Two tennis courts and a cro-
quet ground furnish opportunity for healthful and
hracing outdoor games.

Bach pupil is expected to supply herself with a
suit of blue flannel blouse and divided skirt and
gymnasium shoes.

The Physical Culture suit may be obtained in
Decatur at a total cost of about three and a half
dollars for material and making.

Library and Reading-Room.

The library now contains about i,ooo volumes,
selected with care and with a view to the needs of
pupils. It includes works of history, standard fic-
tion, biography, travels, essays, and treatises upon
literature, the classics. Biblical and miscellaneous
topics. The Sunday-school library has been se-
lected with extreme care, and is much read by the
pupils.

It is the intention of the Trustees to add such

79

General Information^

reference books as will keep the departments fully
abreast with the advancement made in the different
lines of study.

The Reading-room is supplied with a large se-
lection of choice periodicals, and receives regularly
the following magazines and papers, to wit :

Harper's Monthly, Century, St. Nicholas, Har-
per's Bazar, Art Amateur, China Decorator, Eclectic
Magazine, Etude, Current Literature, Literary Di-
gest, N. Y. Observer, Popular Science Monthly,
Chautauquan, Scientific American, Werner's Maga-
zine, Youth's Companion, Southern Presbyterian,
Christian Observer, Christian Index, Christian Ad-
vocate, Churchman, Music Courier, Art Interchange,
Biblical World, Educational Review, Forum, Ladies'
Home Journal, Music.

A number of lectures upon a variety of topics,
such as Literature, Science, Art, Music, etc., are
given at intervals throughout the school year.

These lectures are open to all the pupils of the
Institute, and are delivered at intervals of three or
four weeks.

The boarding pupils, invariably under charge of
members of the faculty, have frequent opportunity
of attending lectures, concerts, recitals, etc., in At-
lanta. The nearness of Decatur to the city, and the
frequent and convenient schedules on the electric
and Georgia railroads make attendance thereon easy
and pleasant. Pupils are thus able to enjoy rare
advantages in this direction to be found only in
large cities. Such visits are not permitted to inter-

80

fere with school duties, and the utmost care is exer-
cised as to the character of the entertainment.

SOCIETIES.
Mnemosynean Society

is a literary society organized in October, 1891, and
has a large and active membership. The object of
this organization is to foster a taste for polite litera-
ture and to acquire on the part of its members fa-
miliarity with standard authors, musicians and
artists. Readings, recitations, discussions, essays
and musical numbers constitute its program. The
members are actively and successfully engaged in
accumulating a library of standard books. The
Society also publishes the ''^Mnemosynean Monthly ^^''
which has a large circulation among the pupils and
friends of the Institute.

The Pfopylean Literary Society

was organized in May, 1897. Its object is " to pro-
mote the intellectual and social interest of its mem-
bers, and to prove a nucleus of culture in the school
of which it is a part." For the attainment of its
end, regular meetings are held once a week, when
programs, consisting of readings, debates, and musi-
cal selections, along special lines interesting and in-
structive, are rendered. That its members may
keep up with the times, programs consisting of
topics and literature of the day are frequently pre-
pared. Besides the constitutional object, the Society
intends working with the Institute, by contributing
to its library.

81

General Information^

The Polymnia CItib,

composed of the teachers and most of the pupils
of the Music Department, was organized in the
spring of 1895, and has grown steadily in interest
and usefulness.

Its regular meetings are held every two weeks, at
which instrumental and vocal numbers, and read-
ings or essays upon musical subjects are rendered.
Since its organization this club has donated about
sixty volumes of musical works to the School
Library, known as the " Polymnia Collection."
During the current year they have maintained a
scholarship in the Music Department, and for the
coming year will offer one in piano.

Scholarships.

The W. A. Moore Scholarship. Under the will
of the late William A. Moore, a Ruling Elder of
the First Presbyterian Church, of Atlanta, the
Institute received, in 1892, a legacy of $5,000.

The will of Mr. Moore provides that " this sum
shall be held as a permanent fund or endowment
for the education at this Institute of worthy girls of
Presbyterian parents, who are unable to provide a
collegiate education for their daughters," the same
to be permanently invested, and only the interest to
be used.

Scholarships under this fund are annually awarded
by the Trustees, as directed in Mr. Moore's will.

The W. P. PattiUo Scholarship, This is a day
scholarship, for which Mr. Pattillo, of Atlanta, has

82

General Information*

generously sent us liis check for |6o.oo for the past
four years.

The Alumnce Scholarship. The Alumnae have
caught the spirit of helpfulness which characterizes
their Alma Mater, and, although comparatively a
small band, have nobly resolved to maintain a
scholarship. For next session they have already
undertaken a day scholarship.

The Polyninia Scholarship in Music . This club
has arranged to offer one scholarship for next ses-
sion, in Piano under Director (^60.00). For infor-
mation address Prof. Joseph Maclean, Decatur.

Religiotts Feattttes.

The formation and development of Christian
character constitute one of the great objects of this
Institution. The religious features of the school
have, therefore, been very carefully considered.

The daily sessions are opened with religious exer-
cises held in the chapel.

The Bible is a text-book, and the Bible Course
made necessary to graduation.

The Sabbath is considered the most important day
in the week for spiritual culture, and it is the con-
stant effort of the Faculty to make it the most de-
lightful and profitable.

A Sabbath-school is conducted by the resident
teachers in the Institute chapel, and all the boarding
pupils are expected to attend.

83

General Information^

The Agnes Scott Christian Band,

made up of boarding pupils and teachers, meets
every Sabbath afternoon. Its object is Christian
edification and usefulness. The exercises are con-
ducted by the members according to a program
previously arranged by the Devotional Committee.

Membership in the Band is entirely optional, but
nearly all the boarding pupils are members.

A weekly prayer-meeting, conducted by members
of the Christian Band, is also held every Thursday
afternoon.

All boarding pupils are required to attend church
at least once on Sabbath, when not providentially
hindered.

Expenses*

The charges given below are for the session of 38
weeks. No pupils will be admitted for less than the
entire session, unless otherwise specially stipulated.

The above charges are as low as the advantages
offered can be furnished. By employing inferior
teachers, and using an ordinary building without
any modern improvements, and without any special
equipment ; by providing fewer comforts in the
home department, and making no special provision
for caring for pupils in case of sickness, the above
charges could doubtless be reduced. But the best
advantages and home comforts cannot be furnished
at a lower price. The Institute does not hope or
desire to do more than to maintain the school at its
present high state of excellence.

The entering of a pupil in this Institute shall be
deemed a formal and explicit contract for her to re-
main until the close of the school year. The institu-
tion obligates itself to furnish board, instruction
and all the advantages it offers for the scholastic
year^ while the patron upon his part, by entering
his daughter, or ward, obligates himself to send her
for the entire sessio7i. In no other way can a school
without endowment be maintained, since all en-
gagements with teachers, and other provisions for
conducting the school must be made in advance for
the entire year. Patrons can therefore understand

86

General Information^

why no portion of the fees will be refunded in case
of withdrawal, unless such withdrawal is recom-
mended or approved by the Institute physician on
account of sickness.

The terms of payment are one-half at time of
entrance in September, the balance at the begin-
ning of the second term, January 1 9. Patrons who
may find these terms inconvenient will be allowed
to pay quarterly in advance by applying to the
President. Pupils matriculating during the first
two weeks of the term are charged as from the first
day ; afterwards from date of entrance.

The medical fee covers the attendance of the In-
stitute Physician and nursing, except m cases of
protracted or aggravated sickness. This fee does
not pay for medicines.

No deductions for any cause will be allowed pu-
pils withdrawing after the middle of the second term.

All drafts, checks and money orders should be
made payable to F. H. Gaines, President.

Discounts.

When two or more boarding pupils are entered
from the same family, a discount of ten per cent, on
their total bills is allowed.

When two or more day pupils are entered from
the same family, a discount of fifty cents per month
will be made for each pupil.

Pupils paying for the full I^iterary course and for
two 7nustc studies^ are allowed a discount of ten
dollars for each term.

When the discount of ten per cent, is allowed for

87

General Information^

two or more pupils from the same family, no fur-
ther discount is made.

To ministers regularly engaged in their calling
the following rates are given : Board, tuition in
Literary Department, including heat, light, library
fee, physical culture, for school year, $180.00.

Special studies, medical fee and laundry at
regular rates.

To ministers who send their daughters as day
pupils a discount of ten per cent, will be allowed.

No further discounts will be given.

Suggestions to Parents or Gttardians.

The success of pupils in their school work depends
largely upon the co-operation of the parents with
the faculty. Parents or guardians who place their
daughters in this school are understood to accept
the conditions as defined in the catalogue.

Every expressed wish of parents is met so far as
it is consistent with the general good.

Parents will find it to the interest of their daugh-
ters to confer frankly with the President or Lady
Principal concerning anything in the management
of which complaint is made.

Parent are urgently requested not to interfere
with the studies of their daughters by withdrawing
them during the session to spend a week or so at
home. Parents are also requested not to withdraw
their daughters until after Commencement, except
for urgent reasons. Such withdrawals seriously
interrupt the progress of the pupil, are positively
injurious to the classes, and tend to distract the
^vvhole school.

88

General Information^

Parents ca7tnot give their daughters permission
to do what is prohibited, nor to omit what is re-
quired by the rules of this Institute, and they apply
alike to every inmate of the school.

Parents are requested to consult with the Presi-
dent or Lady Principal before excusing their daugh-
ters from examinations, or advising them to make
any change in their course of study.

Our table is abundantly supplied with
wholesome food, and boxes of eatables are
FORBIDDEN. Placing before your daughters

A TEMPTATION TO EAT RICH FOOD AT ALL HOURS
IS A MOST EFFECTUAL MEANS OF DEFEATING ALL
THE ENDS FOR WHICH THEY HAVE BEEN SENT TO
US.

Pupils will not be allowed to go to Atlanta of-
tener than is absolutely necessary for shopping pur-
poses, and then only when accompanied by a teacher.

Pupils are not allowed to receive callers 07t the
Sabbath.

Visitors will not be received during school or
study hours : 8:30 A. m. to 2 P. m., and 7 p. m. to 9
p. m.

Young gentlemen are not received unless they
bring letters of introduction from parents or guar-
dians to the President or Lady Principal, and then
only at their discretion.

Parents are expected to furnish list of persons
with whom they wish their daughters to correspond.

Money for books, music and incidental expenses
cannot be advanced ; a deposit of ten or fifteen dol-
lars should be made at the beginning of each term,

89

General Information*

an itemized statement of the expenditure of which
will be rendered.

Books, sheet music, art materials, etc., will be
supplied to boarding pupils only at actual cost ; day-
pupils are convenient to the book stores, and must
supply themselves.

Dentistry should be attended to before leaving
for school.

Punctuality is indispensable to progress. If pos-
sible have your daughter present on the first day of
school.

For repeated violations of the rules parents will
be requested to take their daughters home.

The proper address for telegrams and letters is in
care Agnes Scott Institute, Decatur, Ga.

All letters on business, concerning the admission
or dismission of pupils, concerning any of the de-
partments of instruction, concerning the general
management and conduct of the institution, or ap-
plication for catalogues, should be addressed to the
President.

Remittances of money should be by post-office
order, registered letter, New York draft, or express,
to the President, Decatur, Ga., or payments may be
made to him in person.

Letters concerning the pupils personally, progress
in their studies, health, rooms, roommates, etc.,
should be addressed to the Lady Principal.

THE ANNUAL.

This is a handsomely printed and illustrated
publication gotten out by the student body, entitled
Aurora. Besides much interesting historical matter,
it gives a full representation of student life at Agnes
Scott in its various phases.

NEED OF THE INSTITUTE.

The institute was founded for a great purpose ;
The Glory of God in the Higher Christian Educa-
tion of Woman. For the accomplishment of this
purpose more than $125,000.00 has been contrib-
uted in grounds, buildings, equipment and support.
But the advance in female education has been so
great in recent years that now equally as fine ad-
vantages are demanded for our daughters as for our
sons. If this institution is to meet this demand,
and most fully and successfully accomplish the
great purpose for which it was founded, it yet has
great needs.

Some of these are :

I. An Additionai. BuiIvDING. There is now
urgent need for a new building which would supply

100

Need of the Institute*

larger chapel, art studio, library, gymnasium and
additional dormitories.

3. Endowment. At present the institute has
no endowment. There are many reasons why this
is needed. It is needed to secure and retain the
best teachers ; to keep up the buildings and equip-
ment ; to provide suitable library and apparatus ;
to guard against contingencies ; to offer the best
advantages at a minimum cost ; to insure the
highest efficiency and permanency of the Institute.
This endowment may be made either by a general
endowment fund to be used for the Institute at the
discretion of the Board of Trustees, or by endowing
Professorships or Scholarships.

3. ScHOivARSHiPS. We often have applications
from worthy young women for aid in securing an
education. While we are always glad to do what
we can our ability is limited. There is great need
both for endowed scholarships and annual scholar-
ships. The sum of ^5,000.00 will endow a scholar-
ship for a boarding pupil ; or $1,000.00 for a day
pupil. The sum of $250.00 will procure a scholar-
ship for a boarding pupil for one year ; or $50 for
a day pupil.

Any who may desire to aid in this great work
are requested to correspond with the President.

Form of Beqttest of Devise,

The Agnes Scott Institute is a corporation
created by and existing under the laws of the State
of Georgia, and a proper form of bequest would be
as follows :

101

Th e Alumnae Association*

"To The Agnes Scott Institute, I give and

bequeath the sum of Dollars,

(or I devise a certain tract or parcel of land, etc.,)
to be used by the Trustees for the use of said
Institute, as provided for in its charter."

THE ALUMNAE ASSOCIATION,

During the commencement of 1895 the Agnes
Scott Alumnae Association was organized. Since
its organization a scholarship fund has been estab-
lished, and a successful Reading Circle formed.

The object of the Association is to strengthen
the interest of those who have been connected with
the school in each other and in the Institute, to
place them in a helpful relation toward it, and to
arouse and quicken interest in Christian education.

Already great interest and enthusiasm have been
manifested, and the results have been very gratify-
ing to the Alumnae, to the trustees of the Insti-
tute and to their many friends.

Any donation to the Scholarship Fund will be
gratefully received by the Alumnae, whether it be
large or small. The money will be sacredly
guarded and faithfully used for the cause of educa-
tion. Another object is hoped to be attained by the
securing of contributions, and that is the enlistment
of the interest and sympathy of every one who aids
this noble cause.

Any money for this cause will be received
and receipted for by the President of the Institu-
tion.
