To the Board of Trustees
of Agnes Scott College:

m

T the conclusion of the seventy-fourth year of Agnes

Scott's service in the education of young women, I present

herewith my twelfth annual report as president of the

college.

In prefacing the report of the past year's activities on this

campus I want to bring to your attention two statements one

from a well-known literary figure, and the other from a college

publication.

The late E. E. Cummings has left us truth worth pondering

in this brief paragraph:

Better worlds are born, not made, and their birthdays are the birth-
days of individuals. The significant birthday of an individual is not the
day he is born. The significant birthday is the day he realizes he is
responsible for the kind of person he will be and assumes conscious
and planned direction of the process.

A recent statement from a Pomona College publication im-
presses me with its timeliness and practical sense:

The very expensive, small private liberal arts college is justified in a
period of universal public education only if it aims at producing, and
succeeds in producing, men and women capable of creative and imagina-
tive leadership at every level of the social hierarchy and in every area
of knowledge and action.

Those of us who bear responsibility for such a college as Agnes
Scott are aware that the validation of our efforts is to be found in
our product. Are we able to do something for young people that
is, in any sense, distinctive and determinative? Is it factual that
the home, the church, the immediate and larger community
receive persons from our campus who are disciplined to think,
liberated from prejudice and narrow provincialism, and who are
prepared to stand up to life with resourcefulness and courage?
Is the impact of a college with ideals and purposes such as ours
different in any sense from that of other types of institutions of

[3]

higher learning? Are we deceiving ourselves in claiming that a
relatively small Christian liberal arts college is best qualified to
help undergraduates in their total development?

In my Annual Report for 1956-1957 I made an assertion that
continues to seem important, particularly at the close of the
period of intense self-examination and reappraisal in which Agnes
Scott has been involved during the past two years: The students
who . . . go from our campus to hundreds of communities through-
out the world are our product and the validity of our effort as
a Christian liberal arts college is ultimately determined by the
value of their lives. The importance of Agnes Scott as a college
cannot be estimated by numbering our alumnae; the number,
of course, will always be relatively small. Nor can the contribu-
tion of this institution be measured accurately merely by determin-
ing the wealth or the renown of our graduates. The ultimate test
is the intrinsic worth of Agnes Scott students, here and after
college days are over, in the homes that they establish the pro-
fessional and business careers upon which they enter the church,
civic, educational, and social relationships that they maintain. 1
am quite willing for Agnes Scott's contribution to be measured
in such terms; that it should be so measured is, at any rate, in-
evitable.

Administrative Policies and Plans

COLLEGE SELF-STUDY

We have completed our period of self -study which was begun
in January of 1961 as a part of a plan of periodic institutional
appraisal fostered by the Southern Association of Colleges and
Schools. The program has involved members of the administration
and faculty, trustees, alumnae, and students in a careful survey

[4]

of all areas of Agnes Scott's life. A visiting committee representing
the Commission on Colleges and Universities of the Southern
Association of Colleges and Schools came to the campus last
February for a period of review and appraisal. This committee
was composed as follows:

John R. Hubbard, Dean of Newcomb College of Tulane University,

Chairman
Sarah L. Healy, Dean of Women, University of Alabama
Marguerite Roberts, Dean of Westhampton College, University of

Richmond
James A. Servies, Librarian, College of William and Mary
Edwin R. Walker, President of Queens College

It is our intention, of course, to give careful attention to the
findings of the visiting committee when they are received in final
form. The committee spoke appreciatively of the "monumental
two-volume work, the first of which is a narrative report and the
second containing the appendix and reports of all the question-
naires used in the compilation of the information presented." These
documents, compiled by a steering committee under the chairman-
ship of Dean C. Benton Kline, Jr., provided the guide lines for the
inquiry by the committee.

SEVENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY
DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

Agnes Scott must raise $3 50,000 by January 26, 1964, in order
to complete successfully our $10,500,000 seventy-fifth anniversary
development objective and to claim an anonymous challenge gift
of an additional $500,000. An intensive effort to raise the re-
maining amount is now in progress.

The development program in which we are engaged was pro-
jected by the Board of Trustees in 1953. The capital funds that
have been raised during this period are being used to strengthen
the endowment and to provide much-needed additions and im-
provements to the college's physical properties.

Construction will begin in the late fall on a fine arts building,

[5]

to be located in the area south of Presser and Campbell halls. This
building will be occupied by our departments of art and speech
and drama. Exhibition galleries, an outdoor sculpture court,
seminar and classrooms, studio facilities for painting, sculpture,
and ceramics, and a little theatre are included in the plans. This
structure will bear the name of Mr. Charles A. Dana of Wilton,
Connecticut, who recently announced a gift of $3 50,000 to be
used in erecting the building. The architectural firm of Edwards
and Portman has been authorized to prepare plans and specifica-
tions for the building.

OUR ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION

While, in a broad sense, the entire college session of 1963-1964
will commemorate Agnes Scott's seventy-fifth anniversary, the
specific plans for observance will begin with a thanksgiving con-
vocation on Founder's Day, February 22, and will conclude with
Commencement on June 8, 1964. It is hoped that the anniversary
events will point the college forward for the next quarter of a
century.

We are planning to present a very unusual lecture series during
1963-1964. Distinguished men and women of letters, scientific
pursuits, religion and philosophy, public affairs, and the fine arts
will interpret and relate their respective areas of specialization
to the remaining years of this century. Among our anniversary
lecturers who have accepted invitations are Wernher von Braun,
director of the Space Flight Center at Huntsville, Alabama ; Viktor
Frankl, author, lecturer, and professor of neurology and psy-
chiatry at the University of Vienna Medical School; Charles P.
Taft, distinguished statesman, lawyer, and churchman; Margaret
Mead, curator, American Museum of Natural History and adjunct
professor of anthropology, Columbia University; Charles P. Snow,
writer, lecturer, and scientist; Mark Van Doren, writer, lecturer,
and professor emeritus, Columbia University; Huston Smith,
professor of philosophy, Massachusetts Institute of Technology;

[6]

Helmut Thielicke, professor of systematic theology and social
ethics at the University of Hamburg and guest preacher at St.
Michael's Church, Hamburg, Germany; Albert C. Outler, Perkins
School of Theology, Southern Methodist University (Religious
Emphasis Week speaker) ; Paul Scherer, visiting professor of hom-
iletics, Princeton Theological Seminary; Ferenc Nagy, writer,
lecturer, prime minister of Hungary in 1946; George M. Docherty,
minister of New York Avenue Presbyterian Church, Washington,
D. C. (Baccalaureate preacher) ; and LeRoy Collins, ex-governor
of Florida and currently president of the National Association of
Broadcasters (Commencement speaker). The Budapest String
Quartet will be presented on March 6.

Alumnae Week End, scheduled for April 24 and 25, will be one
of the central occasions of the anniversary year. Featured events
will be a dinner honoring area leaders in the forty-five area cam-
paigns throughout the nation and a lecture by Mrs. Walter C.
Dowling, alumna and wife of our former ambassador to West
Germany. Mrs. Dowling will speak on "The Role of the Educated
Woman in World Affairs."

DEVELOPMENTAL READING PROGRAM

Agnes Scott will offer again this fall a developmental reading pro-
gram staffed by The Reading Laboratory of Philadelphia. All
entering students will be tested for reading competence, and re-
turning students will have the opportunity to be tested. Students
participating in the program will have instruction three times a
week, for seven weeks, beginning October 7. Three previous offer-
ings of the program have met with good response, and students
have found a marked improvement in comprehension and rate
of reading.

CONTINUING EDUCATION FOR ALUMNAE

For the second consecutive year, a program of continuing educa-

[7]

tion will be offered Atlanta area alumnae and their husbands this
fall. Three courses will be offered concurrently on five Tuesday
nights, October 29-November 26, from 7:30-9:30 p.m. The

Buildings and Grounds

Campus and plant improvements undertaken last summer, in

other buildings, were as follows:

Renovation and air conditioning of the college bookstore.

Renovation of the treasurer's office.

Soundproofing of the visual aid rooms in Buttrick Hall.

[25]

dormitory; installation of sewerage mains in the new dormitory area.

Renovation of college houses at 220 and 226 South McDonough Street for
use as living units during 1962-1963.

Construction of three parking areas: one south of Presser and in front of
Campbell Hall; one between Hopkins Hall and College Avenue; one in the
area behind two college houses at 184 and 206 South Candler. These parking
areas were designed to alleviate crowded conditions, particularly when special
events bring visitors to the campus.

Installation of fluorescent lighting in the reserve book room, and of additional
lamps on the tables in the main reading room of the McCain Library.

Soundproofing of the language laboratory.

Included in the program of improvements authorized for the
summer of 1963 are the following:

Major repairs to the power plant. The present boilers will be retubed and
repaired. We propose to install new stokers in both boilers and to install
twin gas burners in one boiler. In addition, we are replacing pumps, motors,
valves, and piping where needed so as to insure adequate service for the
coming session.

Provision for a new electrical distribution center to give relief to our over-
loaded electrical service. We propose to build an underground vault to allow
for present demands and for the future load increases.

Decorate and refurnish Inman lobby.

New flooring on main floor of Murphey Candler Student Activities Building.
Repainting. Fan heaters installed downstairs.

Rooms 105 and 205 Buttrick Hall partitioned to give additional classroom
and office space. White stone around front entrance steam cleaned.

Redecoration of date parlors in Agnes Scott Hall.

New lighting in post office. Purchase of additional mail boxes to provide one
for each student and faculty member.

Re-upholster furniture in library, in addition to extensive repairs, new flooring,
plaster and painting.

Raze cottages at 220 and 226 South McDonough Street and at 155 South
Candler Street.

Provide additional telephone facilities.

Routine repairing and painting in college buildings.

[26]

The Trustees have named the new dormitory "Winship Hall" in
honor of the Winship family, and particularly in grateful recog-
nition of the distinguished service rendered to Agnes Scott by the
late George Winship, chairman of the Board during the years
1938-1956. The dormitory, accommodating 146 students and 3
senior residents, will be ready for occupancy when college opens
in the fall. Plans and specifications for Winship Hall were prepared
by the architectural firm of Ivey and Crook. Barge and Company
has constructed the building. A dedicatory occasion will be ar-
ranged in the fall of 1963.
