'ketcl? of \\}Q Institute.

This Institution was tuuiidtMl and chartered in Auo-ust, 188!:),
for tlie i)ur])ose of furnishing- to young hidies higher Christian
education.

Chartered as the " Decatur Female Semi nan/," it (jpened its
doors for the reception of pupils on September 24th, 1889.

Subsequently, in 1890, in recognition of the generosity of
Colonel George W. Scott, one of its original founders, in ])re-
seuting to the Trustees the elegant building and site shown in
the frontispiece, the stockholders unanimously decided to change
the name of the Seminary to that of the

"AGNES 8COTT INSTITUTE,"

as a memorial of Mrs. Agnes Scott, the deceased mother of Col.
Scott, and to this end amendment of its original charter was ob-
tained.

The object of its founding was to furnish, at the low'est possi-
ble cost, thorough and complete education for women, under the
best Christian influences.

There was thought to be in (xeorgia, need of an Institution
offering advantages beyond the reach of individual effort, and
to supply this need the "Agnes Scott Institute" was founded.
It has not been organized as a money making scheme. Its
profits, if any, wall be devoted to the enlargement of its sphere
of operations.

The unprecedented patronage bestowed upon the Institution
has proven the wisdom of the plans of its founders.

(J^l7aractGr of {\iq Institute.

I.

(^arriculum.

The adv^ance iu female educatiou iu recent years has beeu
marked. In some of the leading institutions of the land the
course of study prescribed for the higher education of young
ladies is ecpially as liberal as tliat prescribed in the leading juale
colleges.

With a yiew to placing the Agnes Scott Institute fully abreast
with this advance in female education, the course of study has
been arranged to embrace eight schools, viz : English, Mathe-
matics, Natural Science, Mental and Moral Science, Bible, His-
tory, Latin and Modern Languages. In addition, superior ad-
vantao;es are offered in Music and Art.

II.

)tandard.

An extended curriculum prescribed in the Catalogue of itself
affords no guarantee of thorough training. In order to be of
value, the curriculum must be taught by coni])etent and faithful
teachers, and the student required to master it step by ste|).
These indispensable conditions of success iu any institution of

I

A(^NKs Scott Institute. 9

learniug, we have endeavored to secure. We call attentiou to
the i-e(]uirenieiits for advancement from one class to another, and
also for graduation, given elsewhere in this Catalogue.

III.

Bible ^oui'se.

This constitutes one of the special features of this Institution.
This is a three years' course, two recitations a week. The object
is to give a thorough Biblical training by regular study and class-
room drill. The student is graded and examined on the Bible
course just as she is on any other study. It is believed that the
Bible deserves a place in the college curriculum on account of its
historical, literary, ])hilosophical, and moral value, but especially
does it form a necessary part of (Jhrisiian education.

IV.

I^Gli^ious peatui'^s.

This Institution was founded for the Christian education of
girls and young ladies. The formation and development of
CJhristian character are considered by all connected with the
Institution of prime importance. As a means of attaining this
great end, in addition to the Bible course, the school will be
opened each morning with religious exercises.

All pu])ils are required to attend church at least once on Sab-
bath. The duty of Sabbath observance will be insisted upon,
and every means used to promote spiritual welfare.

(;ul-turG.

This term has a wide application. It a})plies e(iually to iniiid,
heart, taste aud body. The true educator will seek to cultivate
each oue wisely and all symmetrically. To do this will lie the
^Teat aim and earnest endeavor of the Agnes Scott Institute.

l90CG\iior\.

The Institute is located upon a commanding ritlge, tlie flowing
waters from which, upon oue side, hud their way to the Gulf of
Mexico, aud from the opposite side they flow onward to the
Atlantic; the highest elevation being al)out l,()o(l feet above the
level of the sea.

The climate is bracing and healthful, the drainage naturally
perfect, aud the water the purest freestone, uncontaininated by
sewerage.

Decatur is six miles northeast of Atlanta, on the Georgia rail-
road. Between the two points the Georgia railroad operates
fourteen daily passengei' ti'ains. The Atlanta and Decatur
Dummy Line, operated by tlie Metropolitan Street Railroad
Company with hourly trains and excellent service, passes
immediately by the Institute grounds, and affords to our Atlanta
patrons safe, convenient and rapid transit. A special coach has
been promised by the authorities of this line to which only pupils
of the Institute will be admitted. The accessibility and near-
ness of Decatui- to the city of Atlanta, with its systems of i-ail-
roads reaching every poi-fion of the South Atlantic States, places
the Institute within convenient reach of everv section.

A(iNKs Scott rxsTiTi'TE. 11

The villaii'e has telephouic, postal and express facilities, and
three white churches Presbyteriau, Methodist and Baptist, with
resident pastors.

The society is educated, refined and religious, and the found-
ers of this school believe its location to be an ideal one.

The Georgia railroad has on sale commutation school tickets
from Covington to Decatur and from Atlanta to Decatur, and
from all intermediate stations, at greatly reduced and very satis-
factory rates.

The fare on the " Dummy line" is five cents each way.

Buildir\6s.

The ^lain Building, now about finished, and to be occupied
at the beginning of the Session of lH91-'92, is a massive edifice,
simple in architecture, yet not lacking in impressiveuess.

It has been built of brick, granite and marble, according to
the latest and most advanced ideas of school construction, with
every approved modern convenience. One huudre*! and ninety-
two feet long, fifty-six feet in depth, and foui- stories high, it is
commodious, well arranged, and admirably ventilate(l, having
over fifty large rooms for boarders, each with outer openings;
over 500 feet of wide halls for indoor exercise in inclement
weather, and ample space for class rooms, parlors, art studios,
music rooms and offices.

The whole building is heated by steam and lighted l)y elec-
tricity.

The Building stands in the middle of ample grounds, with
numerous walks. Croquet and Tennis grounds, affording abun-
dant opportunity for healthful outdoor exercise.

I3oardir\^ D^par+meni

This (lepartiiu'iil is undei' the superiutendeufe of the Matron,
who gives to the house-keej)iim her eoustaut personal attention.
The table is alniiidantlv supplied with wholesome food, secured
from the Atlanta and local markets and the surroundiuo- country.

The Chand)ers are so arranged as to admit abundant sunlight,
and in their ai'i-angement and construction, es])ecial effort was
given to securing })erfect ventilation. The whole building is
heated by the indirect system of steam heating, and being lighted
by the most improved system of electric lighting, the danger
from fire is reduced to a minimum.

Evei'v convenience is sup])lied that is necessary for the health
and comfort of students.
