To the Board of Trustees
of Agnes Scott College:

present herewith my thirteenth annual report as
president of the college as our eventful seventy-fifth an-
niversary year draws to a close.
We are deeply gratified that the past year brought a successful
conclusion to our long-range capital funds effort that began on
July 1, 1953. This Seventy-fifth Anniversary Development Pro-
gram had as its objective the addition of $10,500,000 to Agnes
Scott's capital assets. In the period from July 1, 1953, to June
30, 1964, we have increased our capital assets from $7,034,903.96
to $19,191,629.68, the increase totaling $12,156,725.72 or
172.8%. In addition, campaign pledges of $610,753.44 were in
hand as of June 30, 1964. This means that with an eleven-year
objective of $10,500,000, we have secured a total of $12,767,479.16
in cash and pledges for capital purposes. Of this amount, 28%
is earmarked for physical plant and 72 % for endowment.

More than six thousand alumnae, students, parents, friends,
foundations, and business interests participated in our capital
funds effort. Two campus campaigns for students, faculty, staff,
and other college employees (one launching the intensive phase of
the enterprise in 1960, and the other concluding the fund raising
plans in 1964) were outstanding events, realizing approximately
$200,000 and creating enthusiasm and incentive for solicitation
among alumnae and friends. Forty-five area campaigns through-
out the nation were led by alumnae. Hundreds of calls upon
friends of the college, business firms, and foundations were made
by trustees, volunteers in Decatur, Atlanta, and other communities,
and by members of the college staff. Toward the close of the
intensive campaign, the whole effort was stimulated and substan-
tially aided by challenge grants from four foundations and by the
opportunity to match a trust fund dollar-for-dollar.

The success of our Seventy-fifth Anniversary Development

[3]

Program has strengthened the college in a number of areas, en-
abling us more adequately to undertake our academic responsi-
bility, undergirding and enriching many aspects of life on our
campus. The following data indicate some of the significant
gains during the eleven-year period of our development enterprise
(July 1, 1953-June 30, 1964) :

The seventy-fifth anniversary of the college was observed by a
memorable series of events during the period beginning with
Founder's Day, February 22, 19 64, and concluding with Com-
mencement. The prevailing motif throughout the observance was
a forward look, with emphasis upon understanding the issues and
challenges that lie ahead and the desire to point the college for-
ward to its task in the next quarter of a century.

The special events of Agnes Scott's Seventy-fifth Anniversary
Observance were as follows:

thanksgiving convocation, Saturday, February 22, at 12 noon.
Participating in this service were three men who represent the
entire history of the college: Mr. Alex P. Gaines, Agnes Scott
trustee and grandson of Dr. Frank H. Gaines, first president of
Agnes Scott; President Emeritus James Ross McCain; and Presi-
dent Wallace M. Alston. The program included an academic pro-
cession, the reading of Psalm 103, a brief address by Dr. McCain,
and a prayer rededicating the college to the glory of God and to
the Christian growth of young people.

more recently president of the National Association of Broad-
casters, Washington, D.C.

Agnes Scott College was literally conceived in prayer and dedi-
cation when George Washington Scott and his young minister, the
Rev. Frank Henry Gaines, determined (in Colonel Scott's own
words) "to make it as great an institution of this kind as there is
in the land." So far as I am concerned, the most significant single
experience of our period of observance of seventy-five years in
Agnes Scott's life was the moment when a large audience, con-
sisting of present students, faculty and staff members, trustees,
alumnae, and friends stood reverently for the purpose of deliber-
ately rededicating the college to God for service as He may direct.
The prayer of rededication, offered by the president of the college,
was as follows:

Almighty God, our Father, Source of our life, Inspiration of
our labors, and Goal of all our hopes and purposes

We rejoice in the knowledge that in Thee we live, and move,
and have our being; that Thou hast created us for Thyself, so that
our hearts are restless until they find rest in Thee; and that in Thy
light we may see life clearly, and in Thy service find our freedom
and Thy purpose for us.

We offer tip to Thee in this moment something that Thou has
loved and hast committed to us in sacred stewardship a vine of
Thine own planting, tended and nourished by Thy providential
care since the day of small beginnings.

We humbly and deliberately rededicate this college to Thy glory
and to the service of mankind in the name and spirit of Jesus
Christ. We gladly renew the vows of commitment to truth, sol-

[6]

emnly assumed by those who have gone before us in the work of
this institution. Grant to us, we pray, a full measure of devotion
to excellence in scholarship, to integrity of life both in and out of
the classroom, and to freedom of the mind and spirit in every
aspect of our experience as a college. Grant to us the courage to be
and to do what Thou dost expect of us. Forbid that we shall ever
be afraid of that which is high, or distinctive, or difficult. Keep
us from false pride in past achievements and from self-satisfaction
and complacency in present responsibilities. Grant that we may
continue to be dissatisfied with everything that is tawdry or
shoddy, with premature arrangements and compromises that re-
duce tensions but that result in mediocrity.

Help us to live a contemporary life, willing to face new issues
and to discover new truth, holding fast that which is good out of
the past, and faithfully conserving and interpreting to young peo-
ple timeless truth and values. Grant that we may place our obliga-
tion to Thee above every other allegiance, no matter whether this
appears to be popular or unpopular. May it please Thee, Our
Father, to sustain and strengthen our intellectual and spiritual life
so that our witness to the truth may be clear and strong.

Accept our gratitude for every mercy of the past and present.
Accept all that we have and all that we are, and consecrate our
offering of this college to Thee that it may be acceptable as a torch
of light and a means of blessing and hope in Thy Hands for all
the tomorrows.

Through Jesus Christ our Lord Amen.

Buildings and Grounds

Campus and plant improvements undertaken in the summer of
1963 and during the session just closed were as follows:

Major repairs were completed at the power plant. The boilers were repaired
and new tubes installed to replace defective ones as needed. A new stoker
was installed in one of the boilers and twin gas burners in the other boiler.
In addition, pumps, motors, valves, and piping were replaced where needed
so as to insure adequate service for the present session.

A new electrical distribution center was provided to give relief to our over-
loaded electrical service. Four underground vaults were built and were
connected to new services in order to distribute our electrical load evenly over
the campus.

[23]

Inman lobby was decorated and refurnished.

Murphey Candler Student Activities Building received a major renovation of
floors, painting and heating.

Rooms 105 and 205 Buttrick Hall were partitioned to give additional class-
room and office space. The white stone around the front entrance of Buttrick
Hall was steam cleaned.

Date parlors in Agnes Scott Hall were redecorated.

New lighting was installed in the post office. Additional mail boxes were
purchased to provide one for each student and faculty member.

Furniture was re-upholstered in the library, in addition to extensive repairs,
new flooring, plaster, and painting.

Cottages were razed at 220 and 226 South McDonough Street and at 155
South Candler Street.

Additional telephone facilities were provided.

Winship Hall, our new dormitory, was completed during the summer and was
ready for occupancy when school opened in the fall. A routine program of
repairing and painting a number of other college buildings was completed.

In the course of the current session, the College purchased houses at 202 East
Davis Street (which joins the college property on College Place), 363 South
Candler Street, and 307 South McDonough Street. These houses will be used
as faculty homes.

The following improvements have been authorized by the Board
and will be undertaken in the near future :

Raze four cottages (123, 125, 129, 131 College Place) in order to provide
additional space for parking.

Make necessary alterations in the dining hall in order to open up the ground
floor for service to relieve present crowded conditions.

Install a culvert in the stream bed south of the power plant and fill the entire
area with dirt.

Regrade and regrass the athletic field.

Resurface the four tennis courts and construct an additional one.

Provide an area 30' by 30' east of the power plant for a sub-station to enable
the Georgia Power Company to increase and improve their facilities to the
campus.

Partition Rebekah Scott recreation room to make six additional date parlors.

Lay a new telephone cable from Main to the Dana Building to take care
of additional telephones.

Complete landscaping already under way in the alumnae garden.

Routine repairing and painting in college buildings.

[24]

The construction of the Charles A. Dana Fine Arts Building is
proceeding quite satisfactorily. The building was designed by the
architectural firm of Edwards and Portman of Atlanta. The J. A.
Jones Construction Company is doing the construction. The build-
ing, housing our departments of art and of speech and drama, will
provide classroom and seminar facilities, lounges, studios, offices,
an outdoor sculpture court, art galleries and exhibit areas, and a
little theater with a seating capacity of 324. The theater consultant
is James Hull Miller of Shreveport, Louisiana. By action of our
Board recently, the art galleries will be named for Mr. Harry L.
Dalton of Charlotte, North Carolina, who is making a gift of
pictures valued at $50,000 to the College.

Although the Charles A. Dana Fine Arts Building is scheduled
to be completed next January, it will probably not be fully acti-
vated for teaching purposes until the fall of 1965.

Dr. Massey Mott Heltzel (Synodical, Alabama) , Miss Eleanor N.
Hutchens (Alumnae), Mr. G. Scott Candler (Corporate), Mr.
L. L. Gellerstedt (Corporate) , and Mr. Ben S. Gilmer (Corporate) .
By action of the Board at the annual meeting, Mrs. Joseph C.
Read was elected as a Corporate Trustee for a term of four years,
filling the vacancy created by the death of Mr. C. E. Thwaite, Jr.;
Dr. J. Davison Philips was elected to fill the unexpired term of the
late Dr. S. Hugh Bradley as a Corporate Trustee in the Class of
1965; Dr. J. R. McCain, who has been serving as a Corporate
Trustee in the Class of 1966, was elected as a Synodical Trustee for
a term of four years, subject to ratification by the Synod of
Georgia; Mrs. S. E. Thatcher was re-elected as a Synodical Trustee
for a term of four years, subject to ratification by the Synod of
Florida; Dr. Massey Mott Heltzel was re-elected as a Synodical
Trustee for a term of four years, subject to ratification by the
Synod of Alabama; Mr. G. Scott Candler, Mr. L. L. Gellerstedt,
and Mr. Ben S. Gilmer were re-elected as Corporate Trustees for
terms of four years each; Miss Sarah Frances McDonald, retiring
president of the Agnes Scott Alumnae Association, was elected
for a term of two years, succeeding Miss Eleanor N. Hutchens as

[29]

Alumnae Trustee; Mr. Edward D. Smith was elected as a Corporate
Trustee in the Class of 1967, filling the vacancy caused by Mr.
Charles F. Stone's inability to continue his service; and Mr. Wilton
D. Looney was elected as a Corporate Trustee in the Class of 1966,
replacing Dr. J. R. McCain.

At the meeting on May 8, 1964, the Board of Trustees heard
testimonials concerning the life and service of Dr. S. Hugh Bradley
and Mr. Charles E. Thwaite, Jr., who died during the past year,
and Mr. Charles F. Stone, whose active service has been terminated
by illness and infirmity. These men have served the College faith-
fully, and their presence as members of the Board will be missed.

The Board at the annual meeting re-elected Mr. Hal L. Smith as
chairman and the President of the College as secretary. Mr. Alex
P. Gaines was elected as vice-chairman, replacing Mr. William C.
Wardlaw, Jr., who requested that he not be considered for re-
election as an officer of the Board.

In this seventy-fifth anniversary year in Agnes Scott's life, it is
appropriate to record the fact that the men and women who have
served as Trustees deserve a major share of the credit for the insti-
tution's success. I am personally most grateful for the strong
support of the present Board in the responsibilities that have been
committed to me. I look forward to the future with anticipation
of the continued fellowship with those who constitute our Board.

Respectfully submitted,

PRESIDENT
