OR^UJORD

During the fifty-one years since its founding, Agnes
Scott has beconne one of the outstanding women's
colleges in the country, offering its students a thorough
liberal arts progrann. It now has an opportunity for
broader development through cooperation in the Uni-
versity Center. Six schools are a part of this move-
ment Agnes Scott College, Emory University, Geor-
gia School of Technology, Atlanta Art Association,
the University of Georgia, and Columbia Theological
Seminary.

The aim of the Center is to increase the cultural and
educational opportunities in the South by a carefully
worked-out program of cooperation.

Realizing the importance of our cooperation in this
new step, the editors of the 1941 SILHOUETTE have
chosen as theme for the year-book

DEDICflTIOn

Working in close cooperation with stu-
dents, alumnae, trustees and friends
of Agnes Scott as president of the
college, Dr. McCain is planner of its
nnany improvements. He is a busy
man; yet he is never too occupied to
discuss with a student her individual
problems, never so rushed that he
cannot take time off for evening ves-
per services in the chapel.

For a number of years the Univer-
sity Center has been one of his proj-
ects and it is largely through his un-
tiring effort, his farsightedness and
his careful planning that this dream
is being realized.

The editors are proud to dedicate
the 1941 SILHOUETTE to our able
and popular president.

COLLEGE

m R y u n I V E R s I T y

Emory University, with a history of over a hundred years steady growth, has
its main campus in the Druid Hills section of Atlanta. Moved from Oxford,
Georgia, in 1914, this campus is large, with extended woody areas and
beautiful new buildings which boast the best in modern equipment. There
are two out-lying junior colleges which are a part of the University one
in Oxford, the other in Valdosta, Georgia.

Emory's program is varied and sound. In addition to undergraduate
courses in the arts and sciences and certain of the professions, it offers
graduate work in divinity, medicine, nursing, law, and library science. Al-
though no professional schools have been added since 1930, certain pro-
grams of professional interest have been worked out. There is a laboratory
technician's course, a journalism program, and a program for the training
of teachers.

Emory University is the strongest of the endowed universities in our
five southeastern states, and its influence is extensive. It offers substantial
foundation upon which to build, and without them the University Center
could not be developed. Through it in turn, there are great opportunities
for Emory to strengthen and extend its service.

A member of the receiving line, he greets

President James Ross McCain, whose far-sighted leadership
has done much toward furthering Agnes Scott's develop-
ment, is a recognized leader in educational fields, hie is
a member of the Executive Committee of the Southern
University Conference, a Senator of the United Chapters
of Phi Beta Kappa, and a member of the Executive Coun-
cil of the General Education Board. For the past year he
has served as President of the Association of Georgia
Colleges.

His modesty and reticence about acknowledging these
honors are characteristic of his genuine unselfishness. A
devout Christian, Dr. McCain is inspiring as leader of
Saturday morning chapels and as teacher of the Freshman
Bible Class, hie is Clerk of the Session of the Decatur Pres-
byterian Church.

To every student and alumna of Agnes Scott, Dr. Mc-
Cain is a real friend whose time and advice are freely
given. He has come to symbolize all the fine things the
college stands for.

Mr. S. G. Stukes, who holds the important positions of
Dean of Faculty and Registrar in addition to his pro-
fessorship, somehov,- manages to seem always unhurried.
hHe is the friend of every student at Agnes Scott, be-
coming first acquainted with her through correspond-
ence, working with her as professor and adviser during
her under-classman years, and offering her excellent
advice and concrete aid in finding work when she
graduates.

Able business manager of the college's finances is
Mr. R. B. Cunningham, who is noted for his flawless
bookkeeping, his friendly habit of chatting with stu-
dents anywhere he meets them.

Mr. J. C. Tart, whose official position of treasurer
keeps him behind the bars of the student bank or in
the book-store most of the time he spends on campus,
is efficiency personified in all his dealings. His close
associations with the entire college community have
made him well-known and respected.

Of the many Standing Committees of the Faculty,
there are two which are especially important in admin-
istering student scholastic affairs, the Admissions Com-
mittee, of which Professor Alexander is Chairman, and
the Committee of Electives, headed by Professor Holt.
Choice of courses for Freshmen, and of major and
minor subjects for upperclassmen is directed by these
committees.

Miss Scandrett writes a note to some won

The "Dean's Office" is a respected and oft-
repeated term generally applied to the Dean, her
assistants, and the office itself a term which em-
bodies the whole field of social resulations and
personal solving of problems. The staff of the
"Dean's Office" is peculiarly fitted to do its work
since its four members are all graduates of Agnes
Scott and so can understand perfectly its traditions
and growth.

Dean of Students is the official position of Miss
Carrie Scandrett, who is friend, social administrator,
and adviser to the entire student body. No problem
is too trivial to discuss with her, for she is infinitely
patient and invariably helps in working out a solu-
tion, hier offices in Main and Buttrick are always
open for personal conferences, and her apartment
in West Lawn is the scene of frequent student-
faculty "get-togethers."

Miss Charlotte Hunter, her able assistant, works
largely with Freshmen, helping to solve the innumer-
able difficulties which seem to be a part of the first-
year curricula. As house-mother of Inman she is able
to keep in close touch with her charges, and her
room on second floor is a haven of calm and advice,
hier sincere interest in all student affairs makes her
the friend of upper-classmen as well.

Miss Isabella Wilson and Miss Lou Pate, secre-
taries to the Dean of Students and the Dean of
Faculty, respectively, complete the staff of the
Dean's Office. "Bella" and "Lou," in addition to
their work as secretaries, spend a large part of their
time in official capacity in Miss Scandrett's office
in Main. They approve sign-out slips, give informa-
tion on technical social regulations, greet all stu-
dents and their friends with a friendly smile.

"How DO you do?" smiles Miss Hunter.
Stuart signs out with the approval of assist-
ants Lou Pate and Bella Wilson.

The English Department is one of the most important
departments at Agnes Scott. Freshmen are required
to take the first year course in composition, and most
students continue their studies in Enghsh through the
survey course at least, many going on to take a major
or minor.

Mr. George P. Hayes, Professor of English, is
largely responsible for this popularity, hlis advanced
literature courses in European Classics and Shake-
speare each year draw large and enthusiastic groups
of students. Faculty adviser of the debating club,
Mr. FHayes has a knack for quickening interest in
good discussion in class as well as in meetings of
Pi Alpha Phi. His thought-provoking lectures, his
genuine love of his work, his ready humor and pene-
trating mind, make him an admired friend of his
students.

Associate Professor Emnna May Laney, in addi-
tion to her class duties, has an important office as
Chairman of the Faculty Committee on Public Lec-
tures. It is she who acts as hostess to the important
lecturers at Agnes Scott, and she who makes the
delightful informal introductions before each lecture,
hier thorough methods of teaching are widely liked
by students, who gain real and lasting knowledge
of any subject she teaches.

Miss Janef Preston is best known for her inspiring
series of lectures on the Romantic and Victorian

Dr. Hayes discusses plans for the English Department with

Miss Laney, Miss Leyburn, Miss Albright, Miss Preston, Miss

Christie, and Miss Baty.

Poets and for her assistance in creative writing. A
poet in her own right. Miss Preston is able to lead
her students to a real appreciation of good poetry.

American literature and Freshman English are the
courses for which Assistant Professor Annie May
Christie is known. Enjoying the literature herself. Miss
Christie enters into her lectures with contagious en-
thusiasm, chanting Vachel Lindsay or quoting Emily
Dickinson with equal gusto.

Miss Ellen Douglass Leyburn, modest and deep-
thinking, has one of the most amazing vocabularies
in the college. Her well-planned lectures, her subtle
wit and good scholarship inspire students to hard
work. She is one of the three sponsors of Mortar
Board.

Lots of fun in the classroom and out of it. Miss
Thelma Albright has eased the bumps in many a
Freshman's English course. A newcomer last year.
Miss Albright has already made a place for herself
in the college community.

Associate Professor of English Frances K. Gooch
heads the Department of Speech and serves as fac-
ulty director of all plays produced by Biackfriars.
Energetic and efficient. Miss Gooch instills in stu-
dents the importance of speaking correctly and of
using good diction. Her own pronunciation is flaw-
less. She is well known in her field, having formerly
served as president of the Southern Association of
Teachers of Speech.

Assistant to Miss Gooch in the Speech Depart-
ment is Miss Roberta Winter, enthusiastic devotee
to the theater and all that has to do with it. She is
invaluable in helping direct Biackfriars' plays, and
her class in Play Production is instructive and fun.

grading papers.

Courses in the more important modern as well as
classical languages are offered under the Depart-
ments of Romance Languages, German, Greek and
Latin.

Miss Lucile Alexander, Professor of Romance
Languages, is head of the French Department. An
excellent teacher, she makes her lectures interesting
and easy to understand, realizing the difficulty with
which beginners in French follow lectures in French.
fHer activity on the campus is widespread. She is
faculty adviser of French Club, sponsor for Mortar
Board, and Chairman of the Committee of Admis-
sions.

Associate Professor of Romance Languages is
Miss Margaret Phythian, whose studies in the Uni-
versity in Grenoble, where she lived in a village
home for two years, makes her well suited for teach-
ing French, hier classes are inspiring and she always
enters into a good joke heartily. Miss Louise Hale,
Associate Professor of French, who is perennially
Class Sponsor for one of the four classes, is very
popular with students. She is friendly and interested,
in class and on the campus, has a ready smile and
charming manner. Just returned from studies in
France, Miss Martha Crowe has been eagerly wel-
comed back to Agnes Scott after her leave of four
years. Students find that her lectures are stimulated
by her intimate knowledge of the French people
and customs which she gained there.

Miss Muriel Harn is Professor of German and
Spanish. She has traveled widely, Germany and
Mexico being her favorite haunts, and foreign-
speaking visitors to the campus are delighted to
meet Miss Harn and chat with her in their native
tongue. She loves to talk about the countries she
has visited, to show her lovely collection of souve-
nirs, to entertain students at a traditional Christmas
party. She is one of the sponsors for Mortar Board.

Spanish is taught by Miss Melissa Cilley, who has
written two widely used textbooks, one in Portu-
guese and one in Spanish. She knows Spain well,
has costumes and pottery she brought back with
her from her visits to that country. FHer work with
her classes goes further than mere classroom lec-
tures, for she has made Spanish Club a very worth-
while and active language club.

Miss Catherine Torrance, Professor of Greek, does
much towards making the average student conscious
of the splendid old Greek literature, for she con-
ducts several classes in it for those who are not
students of the language. Assistant Professors in
Latin and Greek are Miss Kathryn Glick and Miss
Narka Nelson. Miss Glick, during her three years
here, has become known for her sly sense of humor,
her tailored suits, her friendliness and well-conducted
classes. Agnes Scott is losing an enthusiastic and
splendid teacher this year when Miss Nelson goes
to her Alma Mater, Western College, to be head
of the classical department there. Latin and Greek
take on a new life under the inspiration of her deep
appreciation of their literature.

Miss Crowe, Miss Phythian, Miss Alex-
ander, and Miss Hale discuss the

French movie, "The Baker's Wife."

Miss Harn and Miss Cilley seriously

study the Spanish author, Cervantes.

Classicists Torrance, Glick, and Nelson,

enjoy a good taugh together.

The fact that History courses are among the most
popular at Agnes Scott is due in large measure to
the personalities of the teaching staff. Head of the
department is Professor Philip Davidson, whose lec-
tures are invigorating, frequently illustrated by his
own maps and charts sketched on the blackboard.
Mr. Davidson's activities on the campus are not
confined to teaching History. He is Chairman of
the Advanced Standing Committee and has done
a great deal of work in the organization of the
University Center program. His new book, Propa-
ganda and the American Revolution, which is just
off the press, has been favorably reviewed and has
been called by another professor "the most out-
standing piece of work done by an Agnes Scott

"You see, Dr. Davidson, it's this way

Faculty member." Mr. Davidson is active in civic
and church affairs in Decatur and is frequently asked
to make talks for local groups.

Just as Mr. Davidson's principal interest is in
American history, so Miss Elizabeth Jackson's "spe-
cialty" in the field, is English history. She is careful
to correlate the cultured aspects of the age she
interprets with historical facts, to compare condi-
tions of the past with present-day conditions. Miss
Jackson is well known in educational circles as the
Southeastern Director of the American Association
of University Women.

Associate Professor Florence E. Smith, is primarily
interested in government and politics, and she is
frequently asked to lecture on parliamentary law,
both on the campus and in town, by those who
know her reputation for clarity and interest. She is
a member of the Electives Committee, a violinist
in the String Ensemble. With the help of a student
committee she directed the presidential election on
campus this fall.

Mrs. Catherine Strateman Sims first came to
Agnes Scott last year as lecturer for a quarter
course in International Relations. At that time she
won the admiration and respect of students and
faculty by her brilliant, provocative lectures and by
her delightful personality. Popular demand brought
her back this year as lecturer in International Rela-
tions as well as leader in an informal weekly discus-
sion of current events.

The Georgia ballot gets serious scanning fronn Historians Jackson and Smith.

Informality and freedom of expression characterize Mrs. Sims' Current Histor'
group.

Bible, taught at Agnes Scott by Mrs. Alma Sydenstricker
and her associate, Mr. J. T. Gillespie, is a required subject
for all students and does much toward enriching the re-
ligious life on the campus.

Mrs. Sydenstricker is excellently informed on all subjects
and incorporates her versatile learning in her lectures. Be-
fore coming to Agnes Scott she taught History and was
acting Dean of Students in a Mississippi college. She en-
joys cultivating friends among her students and invites
them to her home for tea each year, hier activities outside
are many: she teaches the Woman's Bible Class in the
Decatur Presbyterian Church, is active in Woman's Club
work in Chatauqua, N. V ., where she spends the summer,
and is a thrilled grandmother.

Mr. Gillespie, in addition to his duties at the college,
is acting pastor in several hlome Mission churches in the
Atlanta Presbytery, and is frequently a speaker at local
church and civic meetings. His class lectures are carefully
planned and are based on a syllabus which he himself
drew up.

The Library is the pride of every Agnes Scott student,
for it is not only one of the most beautiful and complete
libraries in this section, but it is also model in its atmos-
phere of earnest intellectual pursuit. Miss Edna Ruth
Hanley, Librarian, is largely responsible for the efficient
way in which the Library is run. Artistic in her personal
tastes. Miss Hanley keeps the reading rooms attractive
with fresh flowers, ferns in the windows, and numerous art
exhibits for student enjoyment.

Miss Laura Colvin is spending most of her time this
year organizing the catalogues of the various universities
of the University System. Miss Evelyn Houck, Assistant in

brary.

back, iS still another of the staff of assistants.

A glimpse into the Art studio on the third floor of Buttrick would give a sample of the varied courses offered
by the Art Department at Agnes Scott. Miss Louise Garland Lewis, head of the Department, smock on and
paint-brush in hand, would be there to supervise student work in pastels, oils, and charcoal. Subjects might
be people, statues, or some still-life group, tastefully arranged.

Miss Lewis, an artist in her own right, has been the inspiring leader in the field of art for a number of
years. Besides instructing in creative work, she teaches several courses in Art hiistory which trace the develop-
ment of art from its beginning up to modern times. Her lectures are illustrated by her excellent collection of
slides.

Each year Miss Lewis and some of her pupils display their pictures in the Exhibit Room of the Library, and
the acclaim of the entire college community testifies as to their worth.

Although Miss Lewis teaches only a relatively
small number of students, she is widely known and
respected for her excellent taste, her gentleness, and
her lady-like precision.

music

The Department of Music is headed by Professor
Christian W. Dieckmann, organist, teacher, and com-
poser. Recognized widely for his organ compositions,
Mr. Dieckmann sometime gives the students a treat
by playing for them in chapel or in recital on Friday
evening musical programs, hie is director of the
String Ensemble, and instigator of the many im-
provements which have been realized this year in
the Music Department.

Mr. Hugh Hodgson, of the University of Georgia,
has taken a part-time professorship at Agnes Scott
to teach a class in Operatic and Concert Music, and

Miss Bartholomew and Mr. Dieckmann play a duet.

Mr. Johnson relaxes between classes.

to plan the programs for Friday evening music ap-
preciation hour. hHe has brought to the campus
many talented musicians, has played in concert
himself on several occasions, and has met with in-
stant and lasting popularity.

Mr. Lewis H. Johnson, head of the Voice Depart-
ment, is able director of the Glee Club, Special
Chorus and College Choir in addition to lecturing
and giving private lessons. He is well-liked by his
students, and widely appreciated by the audiences
which flock each year to hear his students sing.

Miss Ada Bartholomew, who comes out each week
to give lessons in piano, and Mr. George Linder,
instructor of violin, complete the staff of the Music
Department. Miss Bartholomew has a studio in At-
lanta where she gives lessons, and Mr. Linder is
director of the Atlanta Philharmonic Orchestra.

The Department of Mathematics has
become increasingly popular at Agnes
Scott, largely because of its excellent
leadership, but partly because there
is a great demand for Math majors
in Atlanta businesses. Professor of the
Department Is Captain Henry A. Rob-
inson. A reserve officer in the United
States Army, Captain Robinson went
into active service at Fort MacPherson
in the early Fall. Although he was
unable to continue his class lectures,
he has taken a real part in campus
activities and has been able to intro-
duce into Agnes Scott social life some
of his boys from the Fort.

Miss Leslie Gaylord, Assistant Pro-
fessor, has taken over in large part
the classes which Captain Robinson
had to give up. An excellent teache.r,
Miss Gaylord's patience and careful
explanations have always made her
popular with students. She is a mem-
ber of the Committee on Admissions,

is class sponsor for the Senior Class. As a loyal supporter of Britain, she knits socks for the British soldiers as fast as she can
get yarn. Acting Instructor in Mathematics is Mrs. Blanche C. Badger, who came to the rescue when Captain Robinson had to
leave. She and Miss Loetta Willis, borrowed from the Physics Department, were welcome additions to the staff of Math teachers.

Economics hrd socioiocy

Miss Mildred Rutherford Mell, Professor of Eco-
nomics and Sociology, was Dean of Women at Shorter
College before coming to Agnes Scott in 1939. She
is intensely interested in sociological problems in the
United States and especially in those of Southern
groups, hier course in Labor Problems has been
especially popular this year since the national situa-
tion has been seriously affected by strikes and labor
disputes in defense industries. A strong advocate of
the rights of Labor, Miss Mell points out the danger
of suppressing strikes, even in times like these, wisely
remembering that years of effort were necssary to
gain the legal right for Labor to strike.

She works actively with Sociology groups in the
state and is President of the Family Service Society
of DeKalb County. Students like her for her enthu-
siasm, for her friendly graciousness, and for her con-
versational ease.

The Departments of Philosophy and Education are
headed by versatile Professor S. Guerry Stukes, who is

also Dean of Faculty, Registrar, and a teacher of Psy-
chology. hHis classes are informal, and conducive to lively
discussions into which every student feels free to enter.
Lectures are spiced with pertinent illustrations from
current history and from any number of subjects in
which he has familiar interest. An excellent and very
popular speaker, he is frequently called upon to make
talks in Atlanta and Decatur and is regular teacher of the
Men's Bible Class of the Decatur Presbyterian Church.
At the Conference of Southern Universities this year he
read a paper on "Standards of Teacher Training." He
is one of the college's best-known personalities, his
chief characteristics being his hearty laugh, his friendly
manner, and his sincere interest in all campus activities.

Miss Emily Dexter is Associate Professor of Psychology
and Education and as such she spends much of her
time in the Psychology laboratory. She has a lively
sense of humor, many tales to tell about people she
has known, her relatives among them. Greatly inter-
ested in research work, she likes to give Intelligence tests
and Vocational Guidances tests to students, and regu-
lar Psychology tests to young delinquents in the Juve-
nile Courts of Atlanta and Decatur. She is co-author
with Assistant Professor Omwake of a widely-used col-
lege textbook. An Introduction to the Fields of Psy-
chology. She is a provocative thinker, inspires students
to hard work.

Miss Katharine Onnwake as Assistant Professor of
Psychology and Education is able to help upper-class-
men considerably in choice of vocation. She brings
speakers to her classes from widely varying vocational
fields, stresses the practical side of teaching as a career
in her Education courses, hier lectures are always care-
fully outlined, easy to follow. A recent traveler in Mex-
ico, Miss Omwake enters enthusiastically into any dis-
cussion of the country, loves to show her collection of

Dr. Jones with Nurses Hagy and Bastin at the Infirmary.

A newcomer to the Faculty this year was Dr. Eugenia
C. Jones, resident physician and Professor of Hygiene.
Having received her degree from Johns Hopkins Uni-
versity, Dr. Jones has been a practicing physician for
a number of years before coming here. She has proved
herself exceedingly level-headed and capable, has seen
the bewildered campus through a scarlet fever scare,
one of the largest flu epidemics in the history of the
college, and a series of measles cases. Her hearty laugh
and keen sense of humor are as good as a tonic, and
they were both sorely needed when Agnes Scott stu-
dents had a phenomenal number of appendectemies
before Christmas. Dr. Jones' husband is as popular an
addition to the college community as she is, and those
who have heard him agree that his rich baritone voice
would be a welcome addition to the Glee Club Opera
Chorus.

Assisting Dr. Jones in the Infirmary are Registered
Nurses Mildred Hagy and Ruth Bastin. Miss Hagy, who
received her training at Emory University Hospital,
taught obstetrics there at one time. Miss Bastin, a Cum
Laude graduate of Atlanta Girls' High, is a student as
well as a nurse. During the time she is not kept busy
in the Infirmary she is attending classes or studying for
them. Both nurses are efficient and popular with their
patients.

The Physical Education Department, headed by Dr.
Jones, is largely handled by Associate Professor Llew-
ellyn Wilburn. A grand sport. Miss Wilburn enjoys golf
in her spare time, spent the spring vacation in Florida
at a big golf tournament. She is an excellent referee
of hockey and basketball games, and enjoys her work
so much that students are inspired to "come out" more
for class teams.

Mrs. Harriette Haynes Lapp, Assistant Professor, is
best known for her classes in natural dancing. In flimsy
"flit" costume, she leads her classes with graceful, nat-
ural movement, encourages them to better posture,
freer motion in dancing. Miss Elisabeth Mitchell, popu-
arly known as "Mitch," instructs in tennis, archery and
swimming and referees basketball games. She is lots
of fun, corrects faulty tennis in a terse, business-like
tone of voice. A beautiful dancer is Miss Eugenie
Dozier, whose classes in modern, social and folk danc-
ing are ever popular. She is a good planner, a tireless
uvorker, and to her goes the responsibility of May Day.

Physical Education Department lays care-
ful plans for May Day Miss Wilburn,
Miss Mitchell, Miss Dozier, Mrs. Lapp.

Although a degree in science is not given at Agnes
Scott, the college offers a well-rounded program in
Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Astronomy.

Professor Mary Stuart MacDousall, head of the
Biology Department and a noted zoologist in her
own right, has her doctor's degree from Universite
de Montpellier, boasts the loudest academic robe
in the Faculty procession. Quite recently she has
completed a college textbook. Biology of Living
Things, in collaboration with Mr. Hegner.

Working with "Miss Mac" as Associate Professor
of Botany is Mr. Ernest Hocking Runyon, who handles
the study of plant life in the biological field. fHis
hothouse is of constant interest to Freshmen Botany
classes, his Local Flora field trips the envy of science
students whose labs are held more formally inside.

Instructors in Biology are Miss Blanche Miller and
Miss Frances McCalla. Since they were students at
Agnes Scott not so very long ago, "Bee" and
"Frank" are sympathetic, understanding the Fresh-
man's perplexity in a mass of technical terms.

The Department of Chemistry is headed by able,
good-natured Professor Robert B. Holt. An excellent
teacher, he believes in explaining Chemistry so sim-
ply and clearly that any girl can understand it. \-\\s
lectures are full of comparisons, and humorous tales;
he creates an atmosphere of informality in class by
calling all students by their first names.

Mr Holt enjoys a 3ood laugh with Miss Gilchrist and

Mrs. Fox.

The search under the microscope never ends for
Miss MacDougald, Miss McCalla, Miss Forman, and

Miss Miller.

Miss Philippa Gilchrist, Associate Professor of
Chemistry, works with advanced students, spending
much of her time in the research laboratory. She is
systematic and calm; she understands her work and
knows how to explain it to others.

To the bewildered first-year Chemistry student,
Mrs. Mary Walker Fox is the guardian angel of the
laboratory. Her clear, direct explanations and her
insistence on good work are characteristic of her
thoroughness in all her work.

Mr. Schuyler M. Christian is Professor of Physics
and Astronomy. hHis lectures are clear, spiced with
frequent jokes, illustrated by innumerable sketches
and charts on the blackboard. On a fellowship from
the General Education Board, he is doing research
work in the history of Science in the South, devotes
his summers to this work at the University of North
Carolina in Chapel Hill. Miss Loetia Willis, Instructor
in Physics, does most of her work in the laboratory.
She has taught Mathematics this year in addition to
her work in the Physics Department.

Dr. Christian and Miss Willis take some

measurements on the globe.

"Are you sure it has stamens, Mr. Run-

yon?"

GEORGIA SCHOOL OF TECHOOLOGy

Known as Georgia Tech throughout the country, the Georgia School of
Technology is among the older of the fourteen technological schools in
the South, dating its opening over fifty years ago. A state supported in-
stitution, Georgia Tech soon established its reputation as an engineering
school, and today it is one of the great engineering schools in the country.

To the usual courses in engineering nnechanical, electrical, civil, chem-
ical and textile, for example there have been added in the last fifteen
years courses in architecture, ceramics, aeronautics, industrial design, and
public health engineering. Georgia Tech is a school of the pure as well as
the applied sciences. Important work is done in several of the sciences,
and in particular there is a four-year course in chemistry leading to the de-
gree of Bachelor of Science in Chemistry.

One of the greatest contributions the institution can make is to carry
on fundamental and extensive research in engineering and the sciences.
To the University Center movement, therefore, the Georgia School of
Technology has much to offer. It also has a great deal to gain.

In the Silhouette room in Murphey Candler Building where the yearbook is actually
"put together," signs of labor are even more self-evident. Layouts, engraver's envel-
opes, printer's copy sheets, scribbled copy, and innumerable pictures clutter floor,
tables, chairs; editors dash frantically in and out asking questions or explaining over-
due copy; Typists Mary James Seagle and Evelyn Saye Williams wait patiently for
Editor Gene Slack to check over write-ups before turning them over to be typed. Mean-
while members of the business staff are kept busy with frequent trips to Atlanta and
Decatur to get "ads."

Finally the annual went to press and a droopy-eyed editor and a tired but happy staff
drew a sigh of relief and began anxiously awaiting the day when the 1940-41 Silhouette
would be put into your hands.

It takes more than a snap of the fingers to see
that the girl on the quadrangle knows the latest
news. Sometimes she wants to know ail the im-

interested in the gay side of life. And since the
Editor cannot predict just what her reader will
want next, like a poor freshman in Haze Week
she must be ready to produce anything on a mo-
ment's notice.

One of an exclusive few to attain the Ail-
American rating among college publications, the
AGNES SCOTT NEWS is especially well quali-
fied to serve its readers' wants. It comes out

interest in affairs outside the college by its world
news column. Surely in doing all this it has ful-
filled Editor Elaine Stubbs' pledge to make the
NEWS "reflect the best on the campus."

The real test of the success of the NEWS in
its efforts, however, comes not from the knowl-
edge that the staff is doing its best to serve the
readers, but from the response of the readers
themselves. And as long as the Mail Room con-
tinues to resemble a human traffic jam every
Wednesday afternoon, the NEWS cannot have
failed in its job.

For weeks before the Aurora comes out a busy editor and staff are
at work collecting contributions from the boxes in Buttrick, choosing
articles to appear in the current issue, conferring with young authors
about a sentence to be revised or a paragraph to be omitted. When
the magazine appears, it always receives an appreciative welcome
from students, faculty, and friends.

The Aurora, published quarterly, is Agnes Scott's only purely literary
publication specializing in creative and critical writing of all forms.
The purpose of the magazine is to "discover" campus poets, critics,
essayists, dramatists, and writers of fiction who "have the spark," and
to verify its discoveries by having the college community read and
evaluate actual work. Contributions are largely made by students of
creative writing or members of B. O. Z. or Poetry Club, though any
girl, alumna, or faculty member is free to submit material.

The magazine is not devoted exclusively to writing. The cover design
and illustrations are done by talented students who have a chance to
gain experience through practice, and to display their efforts to a
more or less critical public. This is the second year that Bea Shamos
has won the cover design contest.

Edith and Sabby check some last-minute details.

The Aurora is also published "just for fun" fun for those who
create, for those who assemble the work, and for those who enjoy
reading the literary efforts of their fellow students. It is through en-
couragements and experience of actual publication many talented
writers are inspired to continue their work after graduation.

Student Government started functioning the week-end
before school opened, when the Executive Connmittee
met at hHarrison hHut to plan the work for the year. The
first weeks of school were spent in the conducting and
presenting of a well-planned Orientation program for

FRANCES BREG
President

Freshmen and new students. Among many other things, the newcomers
were kept busy going to handbook classes, where they were told "what
to do when and what not to do ever."

After the hectic job of getting settled was over, along came Student
Government Week, which was a three days series of programs with the
purpose of educating the student body to the program and ideals of
their Student Government. First there was a presentation of the history
and accomplishments of our Government since it was founded; next, a
model meeting was conducted of Exec, and of Lower House, to familiarize
everyone with the procedures that take place when these two bodies
meet; finally the series was closed with an excellent panel discussion on
the honor system.

Throughout the year the usual services were continued: the sewing room
in Main, the kitchen in Murphey Candler, and the radio-Victrola. In addi-

tion, an improvement was made in the running of the
book-store. It was moved after Christmas from the
basement of Main to the basement of Buttrick, where
it is housed in a very well-planned room.

Twice during the year a noisy alarm was sounded in
the middle of the night; "Fire Drill" was the word that
was passed up and down the halls. Three hundred
sleepy and disgusted girls crawled out of bed and
went sleepily down the stairs to be told at the bot-
tom that they were much too slow in getting there
and that if there had really been a fire they might
have been caught upstairs.

The day students' eating problem was solved at
the beginning of the year when they were allowed
to bring their lunches into Murphey Candler. A day
student committee was elected each quarter to look
after this problem and other problems that might arise
during the year.

Our association kept up with student affairs na-
tionally during the year: at Christmas Frances Breg and
Virginia Montgomery attended the joint Convention
of the National Student Federation of America and
the International Student Service in New Brunswick,
New Jersey; and later in the Spring a number of stu-
dents participated in the southern Regional Conven-
tion of N. S. F. A. meeting in Atlanta.

Christian Association, second only to Student Government in its menn-
bership, is an active and inspirins organization. Under leadership of its
cabinet, every girl is given an opportunity for spiritual growth through
directed worship and through definite Christian service.

As the theme for the worship program this year, the cabinet chose
"Thou shalt love," and around it was built the series of chapel services
on Tuesday morning, early morning watch, and Sunday evening vespers.
Self-expression and exchange of ideas was allowed through contribution
to Christian Exchange, a quarterly publication of student thought on
spiritual questions.

Religious Emphasis Week brought to the campus Dean Ernest Cadman
Colwell of the Chicago Divinity School, who was a great inspiration to all
who heard his series of talks on "The Teachings of Jesus." Through his

and Miriam in a private conference.

group and individual conferences, Dr. Colwell was
able to discuss with students their religious prob-
lems, and to stimulate their thought by contribut-
ing his ideas to those of the group.

In its social service program. Christian Asso-
ciation offers many opportunities. Girls are sent
every Saturday afternoon to help at the Scottish
Rite hlospital; there is an annual Christmas party
for the poor children of Decatur, a student-spon-
sored play-ground in the slums of Atlanta, and a
Girls' Club conducted at the Negro hiigh School.

Social Activities on the campus this year in-
cluded a picnic for all the Freshmen and their
sponsors at hHarrison h-lut, "sings" on the steps
of Main; a hike-bike party given by the Fresh-
man Cabinet, and a big picnic for all the Fresh-
men at the close of the year.

Working under Christian Association as an
affiliate part of the organization are Freshman
Cabinet, Sophomore Cabinet, the Chapel Group
and the various denominational unions. Repre-
sentatives from these groups make up what is
known as the Christian Council, a governing body
through which all religious bodies at Agnes Scott
are given some integration.

Leader of Freshman Cabinet Is Grace Walker, pictured here with some of her

Mortar Board, national honor society for senior college women,
selects its members on the basis of scholarship, leadership, and
service. The Agnes Scott chapter, in its activities and spirit tries
to live up to the ideals of the national society and of hHosac, local
honor society in the past.

On a retreat at tHarrison hHut before college opened in the fall,
the group discussed the relationship of the 1940-41 chapter to the
college community, and outlined its activities for the coming year.
At the Recognition Program in November, Dr. Christian talked on
Service, stressing the importance of true service in the spirit of
Jesus.

This year Mortar Board sponsored many social activities. In
November came the Hallowe'en party for the Sophomores, with
men from Emory, Tech, and the Seminary. Orange lanterns, black
cats, witches and corn shucks transformed the Murphey Candler
building completely, and the hiall of hHorrors upstairs created the
atmosphere of ghostliness. In April there was a picnic for the
Freshmen and their dates, with supper served on the hockey field
and entertainment in the gym. The tea for the Day Students'
parents was a pleasant opportunity for faculty, parents, and stu-
dents to know each other better. During Book Week in November,
everybody was willing to stop prowling long enough for tea, cook-
ies, and fudge. After the all-important Junior Banquet in February,
Mortar Board served coffee to the Juniors and their dates.

available speakers are invited. A program for help
in vocational guidance was conducted through dis-
cussion groups, speakers, and aptitude tests; and
work was begun on a pamphlet which will be written
from information contributed by alumnae in differ-
ent vocations. Mortar Board has helped to sponsor
the lectures, musical programs, and art exhibits which
we have had on the campus this year.

National recognition was given to Agnes Scott for its
high ideals of scholarship and its emphasis upon the de-
velopment of liberal culture standards when Phi Beta
Kappa national fraternity granted a charter for the local
chapter on March 23, 1926. Since Its establishment at
Agnes Scott, the Beta chapter of Georgia has sought to
carry out the purpose of Phi Beta Kappa as set forth in
the Constitution of the United Chapters "to recognize
and encourage scholarship, friendship, and cultural in-
terests."

Over two hundred members have been elected into
the Beta chapter since its founding, elections being made
in the fall and the spring quarter and members being
chosen from the Senior Class. The five students who were
elected in November from the Class of 1941 are Sabine
Brumby, Beatrice Shamos, Betty Jane Stevenson, Mary
Bon Utterback, and Ida Jane Vaughan. At the banquet
following the formal initiation, William Cole Jones of the
Atlanta Constitution was the speaker.

In accordance with the fourth ideal set forth in the
Agnes Scott code, scholarship is given the highest
possible place in student development. Devotion to
intellectual pursuit, hard work, and worthwhile
achievement are recognized through the Honor Roll.

on scholastic attainment, grades in all courses mak-

active interest and scholastic achievement in any one of the
sciences: Chemistry, Mathematics, Biology, Physics, Astronomy,
or Psychology.

In the Fall, a banquet honoring the new members was held
at the Ansley hlotel with Mr. Stukes as guest speaker. hHe spoke
on "Psychology and its Place in the Field of Science." Anna
Margaret Bond, a graduate member of the local chapter, ex-
plained her studies in technician work at Grady Hospital; at
another meeting Miss Gail Nelson, district leader of Chi Beta
Phi, explained its national set-up and the importance of the
local chapters.

Each year Chi Beta Phi awards a key to the student or grad-
uate member whose work in science has been most outstand-

Eta Sigma Phi is a national honorary society formed for the
purpose of furthering interest in the classics, eligibility for
membership being based on excellence in studies in Latin and
Greek.

The tradition of giving a Christmas play in Latin was re-
sumed this year, a large number of Latin students taking part
in the performance, which was given the week before the holi-
days in the MacLean Auditorium. The play, "Christmas Parvu-
lus," was based on the story of Christ's nativity and was en-
joyed by Agnes Scott students and visitors from the Atlanta
high schools.

The big event of the year was the formal banquet given at
the Georgian Terrace Hotel. Dr. John Alexander, a Greek arche-
ologist, gave an illustrated talk on his recent work and findings
in Greece.

To encourage the study of Latin, Eta Sigma Phi awards a
medal to the outstanding student in each local high school
class in Virgil.

Agnes Scott embryo actresses have many opportunities to
practice their art if they are members of Blackfriars. The
oldest of the Campus clubs, this dramatic group was formed
in 1915 under the leadership of Miss Frances Gooch and has
functioned actively since. A real knowledge of the theatre
is given through group study of stage method and make-up,
through presentation of plays, and through discussion of
current Broadway "hits."

Always interesting, Blackfriars meetings have included
such treats as a presentation of Lord Dunsany's The Lost
Silk Hat by members of the Emory Players; a one-act play.
The Voice of a Snake, which satirized the medieval myster-
ies; a lesson in stage make-up given by members of the

GLEE
CLUB

aLj

The most inspiring service of the year the annual Christnnas carol service by the College Choir.

The Agnes Scott group best known among friends
in Atlanta and Decatur is perhaps the Glee Club
with its associated branches, College Choir and
Special Chorus. Under the direction of Voice-
Instructor Lewis H. Johnson, these clubs afford
excellent opportunity for choral work. Programs
given at the college and out in town are always
good and show careful training and practice.

The College Choir, largest of the singing groups,
gives each Christmas a carol service attended by
many friends of the college. Beautiful Christmas
decorations and good singing of the old tradi-
tional carols make this performance one of the
most anticipated appearances of the year. Mem-
bers of the Choir, joining with the Atlanta Civic
Chorus, took part in a production of The Messiah
in the City Auditorium in April.

The Glee Clubs' annual appearance is in one of
Gilbert and Sullivan's light operas. "Pinafore,"
the opera produced this year, was given in co-
operatiai^ with the Georgia Tech Glee Club, under
the /imhon of Walter hHerbert.

Seen from -the balcony, the chorus makes a colorful

and variable group.

With the sailors Little Buttercup is ever-popular.

Made up of a small sroup of trained voices, the Special Chorus makes
frequent public appearances. At a meeting of the Atlanta Woman's
Club, the chorus gave a full program of semi-classical songs. It has
made three radio broadcasts and has sung at civic club banquets in
Atlanta and Decatur as well as at the dedication of Presser Hall.

Agnes Scott artists enjoy an afternoon sketching Greek sculpture.

The campus is kept constantly art-conscious by members of
the Pen and Brush Club, who, being artists themselves, meet to
discuss their work and to draw inspiration from the achieve-
ments of others. Originated in the Art Department, but open to
all students through try-outs, the club renders invaluable service
to the campus. Posters are painted for all activities, interesting
speakers are brought, art exhibits are made public. Within its
own membership, the club enjoys many outdoor as well as
indoor sketching classes.

This year most Pen and Brush Club meetings were held on the
third floor of the library to discuss exhibits sponsored by the
Art Department of the University Center. These exhibits have
attracted a steady flow of visitors. Exhibited this year were
Black and White prints from the greeting cards of well-known
artists, a collection of ceramics and weaving from European
countries, wood carvings from Oberammergau, paintings by
student and faculty artists from the University of Georgia, and
paintings by Miss Lewis and Agnes Scott student artists.

String Ensemble, a voluntary organization which meets
regularly for practice under the able direction of Profes-
sor C. W. Dieckmann.

Founded eight years ago to give better opportunities
for personal development in music, the String Ensemble
has grown steadily and has taken an increasingly active
part. This year the club has made three appearances on
the Friday evening concerts in November, in February
and in May. Some of its members played in the selected
orchestra which accompanied the Gilbert and Sullivan
opera Pinafore.

"La belle lange" is spoken at every meeting of French
Club, a group whose primary interest is to study the cus-
toms, folk-lore, literature, and art of France. Affiliated
with the National Alliance Francaise, the club has one
of the largest memberships of any campus group. Regular
meetings are held in Murphey Candler Building, and under
the capable leadership of Miss Alexander and other mem-
bers of the French department; programs are varied and
interesting.

At the Christmas season, French carolers might be heard
practicing their songs, or might be seen with card-board
boxes and red crepe paper preparing to make lanterns.
An old custom on the campus is the singing of carols by
the language groups, each club being equipped with
picturesque hand-made lanterns. After caroling this year.

CLUB

For the purpose of furthering interest and study in the
culture and literature of Germany, the German Club
meets once a month. The members enjoy interesting talks
on the people and customs of Germany, have discussions
in German to aid fluent use of the language, and listen
to German records. Any student of the language is elig-
ible for membership, try-outs being held twice a year.

A cherished tradition of the club is the singing of
Christmas carols the night before school is let out for the
holidays. With lanterns and mimeographed sheets a band
of carolers goes all over the campus, serenading under
the dormitory windows in the beautiful old tunes of Ger-
man carols. Miss hiarn's annual Christmas party is another
custom held dear by the lucky girls who attend it each
year. Quaint polka-dot angels, German cookies, a candle-
lighted tree, and a spirit of genuine good-fellowship make
these parties memorable.

Because of the international crisis and the growing im-
portance of German as a language, there has been a
steadily increasing interest in the club. Lovers of German
tradition, while feeling no sympathy for the present hHit-
ler regime, realize the lasting values of the country's
age-old customs and folk-lore.

Informal discussion helps to facilitate the practice use of

in the customs and culture of Spanish-speaking countries.

Close cooperation with the Emory Club has been stimulating
and fun. Dr. Stipe, professor in Spanish at Emory, entertained
members of both groups at his apartment, and Louis hlar-
lan, an Emory student, was also host to the clubs. In a re-
turn invitation, the Agnes Scott club entertained the Emory
Spanish students at an informal party in Murphey Candler

Spanish.

Christmas caroling, an old tradition of the club, was done
this year with members of German Club, a party following
given by Miss Cilley and Miss hHarn, Spanish professors.

BIBLE

Bible Club meetings are always
held in Murphey Candler Building.

Everyone on campus is eligible for membership in Bible Club,
whose theme this year was "The Bible and the World Today."
The club is designed for people who are interested in the Bible
and its relation to our present-day world. Mrs. Sydenstricker and
Dr. Gilespie, professors of Bible, are faculty advisers.

This year the club has had some of the most stimulating dis-
cussions groups on the campus and every meeting has seen
more and more interested people coming to take part in the
meetings. Present-day application of Jesus' teachings and Chris-
tianity's place in solving world problems were among the sub-
jects discussed. Also the club is more closely than ever allied
with Christian Association work in Atlanta and Decatur.

LECTURE

a /t

Miss Laney makes plans for Mr. Watson's coming to Agnes Scott.

Each year many well-known speakers, representins fields of the arts and sciences, come to Agnes Scott as lecturers. The
college community and friends of the school as well, enjoy and appreciate the lecture series, but few of them realize
how much work is done behind the scenes by members of Lecture Association, in bringing those visitors to the campus.
Under the able direction of Miss Laney and in conjunction with the faculty section of the Association, the student
members decide whom to ask, give publicity to the affair, sell tickets, meet and entertain the lecturer while he is in
Atlanta, and give a general reception for him after his address.

The purpose of the group is to heighten the cultural horizon of the students by bringing as lecturers people who are
eminent in a wide variety of fields. First in this year's series was a lecture by the able foreign correspondent and author,
Vincent Sheean, who gave his personal opinion of the changing scene. Jan Struther, author of the delightful Mrs. Miniver,
revealed the real Mrs. Miniver, while H. S. Ede, well-known art critic, spoke on "The Layman's Approach to Art." From the
field of philosophy came Ernest hHocking of hiarvard University, his lecture being on "Imitation and Revolt." Dudley
Crafts Watson lectured on "Modern Art and the Old Masters."

Members in front: Mary Bon Utterback, Jane McDonough. . . . Seated: June Boykin, Betty Waitt, president; Florrie
Guy, Miss Laney, faculty adviser; Julia Ann Patch, Margaret hHartsock. . . . Missing from picture: Patty Patterson, treas-
urer; Mary Louise Duffee, and Frances Spratlin.

K. U. B.

An interested group of journalists discuss propaganda nnethods in the European War

Journalism is an active, modern field for women. Its advancement
on the Agnes Scott campus is promoted by K. U. B., whose mem-
bers not only study journalism, but also assist the college in its
publicity work and help the staff of Agnes Scott News in every
possible way.

Since the American public is given many forms of propaganda
every day and since we are beginning to realize its importance
in public life, the club chose propaganda for special study. A
realization of its skill and force was gained by actually writing
several articles.

Miss Christie, faculty adviser for the club, made several talks
on improvement of journalistic style and of woman's place in the
field. Members of the News staff were invited to these talks, for
it is they who actually put into practice
any improvements in journalism they
learn.

A major in journalism now being of-
fered Agnes Scott students on the Emory
University campus, it is likely that a
stimulation of all newspaper activity will
result. K. U. B. for many years alert to
its opportunities, will be greatly helped
by students who plan to make journal-
ism a profession.

A picnic was held in the Spring, at
which new members were informally in-
itiated in the traditional manner of read-

B . . Z .

Charles Dickens' pen-name furnished the name for Agnes Scott's B. O. Z.,
a club consisting of students who are interested in creative writing. The
work of its members extends into many fields, producing plays, essays,
short stories, sketches, and radio scripts every year.

The meetings of B. O. Z. held every third Thursday are delightfully
informal. One or two members of the club read for the group, and open
discussion of the work follows. Much help is received from this stimu-
lating criticism given by the other members and the faculty adviser.
Miss Janef Preston.

At one meeting this year the Agnes Scott Radio Guild presented to
B. O. Z. a play "The Bashful Man," written by a B. O. Z. member, Cor-
nelia Willis. Virginia Williams represented the club at a meeting of the
Decatur Alumnae Association reading some of her delightful Negro
stories.

Concrete evidence of the creative writing done by B. O. Z. members
is found in Aurora, each issue of which carries one or more articles con-
tributed by its members.

Aspiring poets try out each year for Poetry Club whose mem-
bership is of necessity hmited to ten, so that intense creative
work can be done. Thorough criticism of student poetry, given
by members of the club and led by Miss Laney, faculty adviser,
is of great value in improving style. Many of the poetic contri-
butions to Aurora, student literary publication, are made by
members of the club.

At the first meeting of Poetry Club, five new members were
initiated. Dr. Anderson Scruggs of Atlanta, read an interesting
selection of his own poems from his first published volume.
Glory of Earth. The Decatur Alumnae Association, in one of its
Spring meetings, asked two members to read some of their own
compositions.

'J.L CURREnT HISTORy fORUdl

With World War II in progress abroad and the Presidential election at home, Current hHistory Forum has had a
busy year. The aim of the club is to keep abreast of the times by knowing facts and trying to interpret them
through debates, panel discussions and open forums.

The State conference of International Relations Clubs held at Emory proved an excellent opportunity for in-
formation and discussion on current events. Current hHistory Forum sent two delegates to the Southeastern Con-
ference of International Relations Clubs at Tallahassee, Florida.
Not actually connected with the club

but closely associated with it is the

class led by Mrs. Sims which meets

weekly to discuss recent happenings in

the war.

One of the club's most appreciated

services to the school is the posting of

headlines on the bulletin board so that

busy students can keep up with world

affairs.

PI RLPHR PHI

e Ealcin debates on "Resolved: That the Go
Should Lose His Power to Pardon," at
resular meeting of Pi Alpha Phi.

One of the oldest requirements of a true education was the ability to debate. Interest in this activity is com-
petently maintained at Agnes Scott by members of Pi Alpha Phi. The wider interest of the club is in upholding
the highest ideals of liberal education.

As usual, a series of debates by members of the club has comprised the programs for regular meetings, a
faculty committee serving as judges in the tournament. In December Suzanne Kaulback, Jane Taylor, and Susan
Spurlock represented Agnes Scott in a debate with a team from Georgia State College for Women in Milledge-
ville. To the Spring meeting of the Southern Association of Teachers of Speech in Birmingham were sent Ann
Henry, Mary Lightfoot Elcan, Jane Taylor, and Marjorie Merlin. The subject debated was "Resolved: That Amer-
ica Should Enter the War with England at the Present Time," one team upholding the affirmative and one
the negative.

Dr. George P. Hayes, professor of English, is the capable faculty leader of Pi Alpha Phi. His assistance in
preparing the debates, his keen questioning and stimulation of thought do much to make debating at Agnes
Scott thorough and scholarly. Each Spring a cup is
awarded to the member of the club who has given the
best performance in the course of the year.

life, don their finest evening dresses, and are off to Murphey Candler Building for an hour's relaxation in ballroom dancing.

At each meeting, two or three girls act as hostesses, receiving guests, planning and serving refreshments, and transforming
Murphey Candler into a charming dance floor through skillful decorating. One of the aims of Cotillion Club is to make pos- ,
sible really nice dancing for the student body; so twice a year, large balls are given to which all students are invited. The

GRRnDDflUGHTERS CLUB

Many of the s'lrls who went here long ago have had daughters of
their own to send to Agnes Scott. These girls, whose mothers are
alumna, have banded together to form the Granddaughters Club, so
called because their mothers were daughters of the college. The
function of the club is purely social, with meetings at the Alumnae
House or at the homes of day students. Marcia Mansfield, and Florrie
Guy entertained the club in the course of the year.

The main event for Granddaughters is their annual Spring banquet
to which members invite dates. Held at Peacock Alley, the banquet
was informal, and afterwards the party separated for shows, plays or
dances. This year there was also a delightful tea when the mothers of
day student members met with the club. During Alumnae Week-end
Granddaughters assisted Mamie Lee in entertaining the returning
alumnae.

ATHLETICS

COLUIDBIfl THEOLOGICAL SEITIinflRy

The Columbia Theological Seminary has influenced the life of the
Southern Presbyterian Church far more than any other institution. . . ."
This statement made at the close of the last century is still true today.
Over a hundred years ago, the Seminary trained many of the great lead-
ers of Southern Presbyterianism on its campus in Columbia, South Caro-
lina. In 1927, desiring to extend the influence of the Seminary still further
westward, the church authorities moved it to the vicinity of Atlanta. The
move was a fortunate one, for since that day the Seminary has grown
steadily in resources and influences.

The standards of the Seminary have a!ways been of the highest. Only
in extraordinary cases is a student admitted who does not have a bach-
elor's degree from an accredited college. Two degrees are offered the
Bachelor of Divinity and the Master of Theology. The Seminary has been
authorized to grant the degree of Doctor of Theology, but it does not feel
that at present its resources are adequate to the task. It is the definite
expectation, however, that with the stimulation of the University Center
movement and with the facilities made available by it, the Seminary will
soon be able to offer the degree.

The University Center movement is thus expected to strengthen and
extend the facilities for training Christian leadership, and the other insti-
tutions in the movement will profit from their associations with Columbia
Seminary.

ATHLETIC fl

ANN FISHER
President

A. A. officers admire the new solf cup. Left to right: Ann Fisher,
president; Ida Jane Vaughan, vice-president; Gay Currie, secretary;
Ann Gellerstedt, treasurer.

Athletic Association, of which every girl at Agnes Scott is a member, made 1941 one of its most successful years. The
Athletic Board organized things early with a retreat held on the campus several days before school opened officially.
It was then that plans were begun for the annual A. A. Fair, for the visit of the United States Field Hockey Associa-
tion's Touring Team; for the Saturday night open houses that offered badminton, ping-pong, darts, bridge, and Emory
boys.

Early in the Fall the Athletic Board entertained transfer students with a hay ride to North Fulton Park in Atlanta.
Dates were invited from Georgia Tech and Emory.

The A. A. Fair was unusually original this year. In trend with America's own National Defense Program, the gymna-
sium was converted into a Fort Scott with army tents, mess halls and military drills. The Athletic Board was dressed
in military uniforms and General Fisher rode through the campus in her white armored Austin. She was escorted by
two Board members on bicycles. Sergeant Alta Webster walked guard duty. Sergeant Ann Gellerstedt summoned all
Agnes Scott privates with her trusty bugle. It was great fun.

c 1 1) T 1 n

The big event was the arrival of the U. S. Field hlockey
Touring Team on Novennber 14 for a two-day visit on
the campus. The team, composed entirely of champion-
ship material, left some good lessons and showed Agnes
Scott hockey enthusiasts just what it takes to make Ail-
American, in their game against a group of Agnes Scott's
varsity stars.

The Freshmen came through with top honors in the
Tennis Singles Tournament held in October. Anne Eagan
defeated Virginia Tuggle in the finals. However, the
Juniors, winners of the Athletic Cup, were far ahead as
pace-setters in team sports. They found little difficulty
in winning the hockey championship. In basketball they
had only one game to go on their third undefeated sea-
son, when the Sophomores beat them by a three point
margin. The Juniors placed seven players on the basket-
bail varsity and sub-varsity teams.

Closely associated with the Athletic Association is the
Physical Education department. The head of the depart-
ment. Miss Llewellyn Wilburn, with her associates. Miss
Mitchell, Miss Dozier and Mrs. Lapp, have always shown
great interest in the activities of the association. Miss
Wilburn and Miss Mitchell are frequently at the meet-
ings of the A. A. board and are always ready with sug-
gestions and willing to give the organization the benefit
of their wide experience in the field of sports. They have
been a great help in organizing the various A. A. clubs
and, under the pretext of a business meeting, have more
than once entertained the board at their homes.

Fall approaches and with the first hint of
turning leaves the hockey field suddenly be-
gins to teem with life. The crisp autumn air
rings with shouts and the clash of sticks
the hockey season is in full swing almost be-
fore we know it. hHockey has always been
the most popular of fall sports not only
for those "hockey fiends" who love to "get
in and fight" but also for those less energetic
souls who nevertheless love to see a good,
fast, well-played game. The grandstand Is

always filled to overflowing with excited spectators wildly cheering

This fall the evenly matched teams and spectacular playing drew a
large number of spectators weekly to the Friday afternoon games.
Even the cold and icy weather failed to chill the spirits of players
and "bench sitters," and this year's hockey season was undoubtedly
one of the best.

The hockey season this year was brought to a thrilling climax by the
arrival of the United States hlockey Association Touring Team. The

gave the students valuable lessons in dribbling
and in passing. All afternoon in the rain and
mist the touring team and the "Agnes Scot-
ters" practiced and got in prime for the con-
test the next day. On the following day the
professionals and students mixed teams an
played together in an exciting game. After
this game, however, the touring team pitted
their strength against the Agnes Scott team,
giving a brilliant exhibition of how it should be
done by defeating a decidedly bewildered
Agnes Scott varsity 7-0.

almost all of the time.

Second place was a tie between the Freshmen and Sophomores, leaving the Seniors third place. The Freshmen prom-

The first bounce of a white ball on the newly
shellacked court, the first whistle which officially
starts the basketball season, the first game when
Seniors meet Juniors, Freshmen meet Sophomores
these are thrills to the lover of basketball. Con-
sidered the major winter sport, basketball attracts
many girls who love a good, clean game and who
play for the fun of playing. There is keen com-
petition among the class teams, and good sports-
manship characterizes all games.

The 1940-41 season began with the start of the
winter quarter when practices became a part of
the late afternoon schedule. Under the careful in-
struction of Miss Wilburn and Miss Mitchell, un-
skilled beginners learned to handle the ball with
accuracy and ease, old-timers practiced new
tricks and learned new rules.

The first game of the season was played on
Friday afternoon, January 10, a week after re-
turning from Christmas holidays. An excited group
of spectators thronged the sidelines, cheering and
groaning alternately, or keeping that tense sil-
ence which means a swift game is in progress.

The Juniors came through in fine style, defeating
the Seniors, 25-18; Sophomores were victorious
over the Freshmen, their score being 23-1 I.

This opening game was indicative of the re-
sults of the season, for the Juniors were undis-
puted winners of the banner, having against them
only one defeat. The Sophomores came next in
their record and the Freshmen third. Many indi-
vidual players distinguished themselves in both
offensive and defensive playing.

As usual. Junior Dot Webster was one of the
flashiest forwards on the court, pivoting and
twisting to the advantageous position under the
basket which never fails to sink a perfect goal.
Beautiful long shots were the specialty of Senior
forwards Fisher and Dyar and of the spectacular
Freshman, Anne Eagan. Ruth Farrior and hHazel
Collings came in for their share in the scoring too.
On the defensive, the Sophomore guards Roun-
tree and Dale were outstanding, while Gellerstedt
and Billie Walker for the Juniors and Freshmen re-
spectively, did excellent defensive work.

ulty goal in the Brown Jug Tourney.

The climax of the season came when Varsity and
Sub-varsity teams were chosen and the school's best
players met in the annual Varsity-Sub-varsity game.
Both teams played well, but Varsity won by a big
margin.

The Brown Jug Tourney, annual classic in which
teams from the various dormitories, day student
and faculty groups participate, was this year a big
success. The Faculty team (which included several
recent alumnae players), after defeating the Deca-
tur Day Students, and Rebekah, was again victori-
ous in the finals, easily downing the Atlanta Day
Students.

"How can I keep my feet from flopping?" This familiar cry accom-
panied by much splashing, can be heard at the pool almost any
Monday, Wednesday or Friday when the very popular diving class
is in session. The class was started this year for advanced swimmers,
and shows promise of becoming one of the most popular of gym

classes. The less advanced classes,
however, came in for their share of
coaching, and the instructors had
their hands full with ambitious be-
ginners, violently struggling to mas-
ter the fundamental principles of
the art of keeping one's head
above water; with intermediates
who practiced strokes to perfect

their form; and with the more advanced swimmers who entered the
diving class or Miss Mitchell's life-saving class. This year two instruc-
tors, one from the regional Red Cross Headquarters, and one from
the Atlanta Y. M. C. A. came out and gave the life-saving class some
valuable pointers.

In the fall two inter-class meets were held, and the strong Freshman
team splashed its way to victory in both events, encouraged by the
enthusiastic cheering of classmates. The Frosh, led by Mary Maxwell,
were far superior to the other classes in speed events and were well
represented in the other tests. The meets gave each swimmer a chance
to prove her ability and perhaps win a place for herself on the Varsity.
The Swimming Club, composed of all swimmers determined and
skilled enough to pass the try-outs held in the fall, presented in the

THE S W 1 II N 1 1 li CLUB

Winter Quarter a water pageant the "Water Fantasia."
It included a group of nunnbers featuring swinnming to music,
and formation swimming designed to show the capabilities
of the swimmers. Up until this year the club had presented
a pageant with elaborate costumes which badly hindered
swimming. This year the club decided to show what it could
do in the way of swimming without the aid of pageantry to
cover up defects. Judging from the enthusiastic applause
of the audience, the efforts of the Swimming Club and of
Miss Wilburn, who gave valuable advice and assistance,
were greatly appreciated.

Swimming Club was organized especially for the
benefit of those girls who couldn't seem to get their
fill of water in the regular classes and swimming pe-
riods already in existence. It has always been among
the most popular clubs and this year took in fourteen
new members, drawn from all classes. In order to get
into the club, the girls must stand a rigorous series of
tests. Members of the club watch the try-outs and rate
the girls on their various abilities. Among the numerous
tests are: form swimming, diving, life saving and swim-
ming for speed and endurance.

The Swimming Club, besides planning events in their
own interest, have also been active in arranging pro-
grams that the entire campus can enjoy. In the fall two
swimming meets were held and exciting contests be-
tween the class teams were featured. The "Water Fan-
tasia" held in the Winter Quarter was also made pos-
sible to a great extent through the efforts of the club.
Miss Wilburn was active in helping the club plan the
events. She and Mrs. Lapp took a great deal of interest
in the work of the club this year and gave them invalu-
able assistance in carrying out the plans for the season.
Among other activities, the Swimming Club spon-
sored an exhibition of tandem swimming, diving and
formation swimming on hiigh School Day, which was
held in April.

Mill-wheel flutter, this formation is called.

Instruction for would-be life savers is given

Tennis Club poses behind the net of their favorite court.

In the Sprlns and Fall tennis reigns suprenne among the sports or at least nearly so and hardly
a day passes that at one time or another the courts are not filled with both students and mem-
bers of the faculty. Some of the more ambitious girls have been known to struggle out of bed
on a bright Spring morning at the unheard of hour of six in order to get in a good stiff set be-
fore breakfast.

The Tennis Club is one of the most active groups in the Athletic Association. It was organized
to help encourage interest in the game on campus and to assemble the better players among
the students. In this way the club members can always find an opponent whom they know to be
worthy of their mettle. The most proficient players in the school, known to some as the "tennis
fiends," are among the members of the club.

At the meetings this year the members played numerous
sets among themselves and with members of the faculty.
These games with the faculty are always popular for here
on the tennis court all barriers are down and the teacher
across the net is simply a "brother" tennis lover, a worthy
opponent ready to test one's prowess. Besides vying with
the faculty members the girls played with students from
Shorter and Columbia Seminary at meetings this year.

I TEnniS CLASSES

The follow-through looks painful.

Among the most popular activities of the Ten-
nis Club are the tournaments held in the Spring
and Fall. The singles tournament was won this
year by Anne Eagan who defeated Virginia Tug-
gle in the finals.

Tennis Club has no monopoly on the tennis
players at Agnes Scott and the courses in tennis
instruction offered by the Physical Education de-
partment in the Fall and Spring quarters are al-
ways full of potential tennis stars. Even girls not
necessarily outstanding in the field of sports,
seem to feel that knowledge of at least the rudi-

ments of the game is absolutely essential if one
is to be a success socially. Classes are organized
in such a way that girls of varying ability are able
to find their matches among members of the
class and therefore play stimulating games that
keep them on their toes every minute of the pe-
riod. The games are fast and furious and the
courts ring continually with shouts from the in-
structors admonitions mixed with frantic warn-
ings, "All right now, keep that side to the net!"
and "Watch out! There goes a wild one!"

"Ready? Serve!" Ann Fisher with the racquet.

The girls take a serious interest in learning the
technique and tricks of the game and the com-
petition among them is keen. Along with this
more serious side there is a great deal of fun
the girls laugh with and at each other and gen-
erally enjoy themselves while being instructed.

Miss Mitchell more popularly known as
"Mitch," is the tennis instructor and she is as-
sisted in handling the numerous classes by the
student instructors, Mary Olive Thomas and Mary
Robertson. Both girls are active members of the
Tennis Club and are excellent players.

The outstanding activity this year was
the trip to Dick's Gap, Snake Mountain,
and Swallow Creek Trail with the Geor-
gia Appalachian Trail Club.

Try-outs for club membership are held
in the Spring each year and a con-
ducted study course in nature-lore, first
aid, outdoor cooking, and fire building
is given to every prospective member.

The perfect Autunnn sport riding.

Horseback riding is always one of the most popular courses offered
by the Physical Education department and the classes are full both
Spring and Fall quarters.

The girls meet at the gymnasium and take the five minute trip
out to the horses in Mrs. Taylor's station wagon. Beginners and ad-
vanced riders alike learn to handle various types of horses safely at
the desired gates under diverse conditions in the ring, along a
country road and on the cross-country trails. Many learn to saddle
and bridle their own horses' and a few of the more advanced prac-
tice taking low jumps in good form.

The principles of safety and courtesy in group riding are partic-
ularly stressed, and one ideal kept constantly in mind: that each rider
shall finish her two months' course equipped to continue safely and
enjoyabiy her riding experience.

In the Spring and Fall the hockey field suddenly becomes alive
with flying arrows and quivering bows. It is turned into the
ever-popular archery range and is the favorite stamping-ground
of the feminine followers of the tribe of Robin hlood. At odd
times during the day, classes meet and the excited shrieks at
lucky shots fill the air. These are not, however, unmingled with
the groans of those less fortunate girls who dash down the
field, searching frantically for their stray arrows before another
flight catches them unawares.

Each year the Archery Club is represented in the National
Telegraphic Archery Contest. Its members are frequently among
the high scorers in the tournament, and have in recent years
been winners in the southern district. At Agnes Scott the in-
dividual high scorer in this contest each year receives the
Archery Cup.

Golf came into its own on the Agnes Scott campus this year.
Besides the already popular instruction course, the Golf Club
was organized under the leadership of Charity Crocker. Try-
outs were held last Fall and eight members were admitted:
Mary Ann Brewer, Wanda hiamby, Laura Cumming, Marcia
Shufelt, Gwen Hill, Mary Olive Thomas, and Jean Dennison.

The club was unusually active both Spring and Fall quarters.
In November two competitions were held a "hidden holes"
tournament at the Forrest hiills course, won by Marcia Shufelt,
and a point bar competition at the Candler course, won by
Charity Crocker.

In order to arouse more interest in golfing and give the girls
a chance to practice more on home territory a putting green
was constructed at the back of the hockey field. It was tended
and guarded with great care the pride and joy of the club--
and was finally officially inaugurated with a putting competi-
tion in the Spring.

The golf season this year came to an exciting close with the
biggest and most thrilling tournament in the life of the club,
and the cup was awarded the winner.

The Modern Dancers never fall to get a laugh.

In the Winter quarter the dancing classes become the
center of attraction for many students. There is a great
variety offered in the different classes and every girl is
able to find at least one in which she can take part.

There are classes in social dancing which keep abreast
of the times with the "Conga" and the "Rhumba," not
forgetting the graceful waltz of a former day. Folk danc-
ing, repiesenting the dances of Merrie Old England and
early and late American periods are highly popular. The
nature dances from the Tyrol also come in for their share
of attention.

The modern dance is always an enthusiastic class. This
year the drum has been used as an accompaniment for
the first time and it has added greatly to the enjoyment
of the group. Another innovation has been the long blue
skirts, addition to the short red and blue costumes used
previously. The natural dancing classes have been busy
with their Polkas and "Leap, run . . . run." They have been
interested too in other phases of rhythms based on nat-
ural movements.

At the end of the season this year the natural and
modern dancing classes gave a colorful and original
dance recital which climaxed a very full season of con-
structive dancing.

SARAH RAINEY
Chairman

With the besinning of the Winter quarter, preparations for May Day
were started. Librettos, submitted by students, were gone over and
the best entry selected. Neva Jackson and Cornelia Willis were co-
authors of the libretto chosen, whose title was "On An English
Green."

Chairnnan of May Day, Sarah Rainey, with the invaluable assistance
of Miss Eugenie Dozier and Miss Llewellyn Wilburn, who directed the
perfornnance, worked steadily all during February, March, and April.
May Court was elected, dance groups were chosen, costumes de-
signed, and practices begun. In the basement of the Gym, some of
the committee members could be found at almost any time, busily
laying out careful plans for the production.

Mrs. Blodgett, an old hand at making May Day costumes, got busy
with her well-worn shears and yards and yards of material, to plan all
the costumes. She was always willing to help unskilled seamstresses
with sewing their costumes together, to help pin front onto back, and
to offer consolation or advice when something went wrong.

RTLflnTfl ART flSSOCIRTIOn

Chartered as an Independent organization in 1905 for the purpose of
promoting an interest in the fine and applied arts, the Atlanta Art Asso-
ciation has had a splendid developnnent. It has particularly emphasized
painting and sculpture, and in the present gallery of the Association, the
High Museum of Art, there is a small but excellent collection of paintings.

In addition, during nine months of the year, imported exhibits of
painting or sculpture follow each other at intervals of two weeks. Fre-
quent lectures and discussions further contribute to the cultural life of
the community. The High Museum School of Art offers standard art
courses. A certificate in commercial art is given for three year's work,
a diploma in art for four.

A recent bequest to the Association will make it possible to expand
its work into many fields other than sculpture and painting. It is hoped
that period furniture, china, glass, tapestry and other art objects can be
collected and displayed. In the development of a fine arts program in
this region, the museum facilities of the Atlanta Art Association will be
of real importance.

U n I V E R S I T y OF GEORGIA

The University of Georgia, which has been serving the state for al-
most a century and a half, is located in Athens, Georgia. The first of
the state universities to be chartered, it has grown from humble begin-
nings into a large and progressive institution with ten separate schools
and colleges which offer a varied program.

In addition to the regular course of liberal arts and sciences, the Uni-
versity has schools of Law, Forestry, Pharmacy, Education, Commerce,
Journalism, Home Economics, and Agriculture. The University thus offers
extensive graduate and professional work. The master's degree is offered
in every one of the schools and colleges except Pharmacy and Law, and
the doctor's degree is given in three fields biology, education and
Southern civilization, a joint program of the History and English depart-
ments.

The University of Georgia has been intimately connected with the
history of Georgia and of the South and has strongly influenced the life
of the region. It has trained some of the South's outstanding leaders, and
with its contacts throughout the state, it has materially affected not only
the educational program of the counties but the professional and busi-
ness activities as well. The strength of the University and its position in
our educational system make it an essential feature of the University
Center.

plan of the University Center other than merely a
scholastic one. Miss Agnes Hottentot talks lengthily to
HER INTEREST over the phone making plans for the
future. At a quarter of eight in the dormitory she is
an unglamorous girl tvith curlers in her hair, but when
her date arrives she goes doivn to meet him attractively
attired and ready for anything (within reason).

It's hard enough in the spring to concentrate on what
is going on in class, hut it's even ivorse and practically
impossible when you are sitting right beside a hand-
some man from a nearby university.

If you should hear the melodic strains of SCRUB ME
MAMA EIGHT TO THE BAR, coming from Murphey
Candler some afternoon you can guess and probably be
right, that a couple of girls are practicing together on
those new steps to impress somebody at the dance Sat-
urday night.

After class Agnes goes skating everybody goes skating

after classes these days. Agnes doesn't like skating,

doesn't knoiv how, doesn't intend to learn, and wonders

who invented skates anyhoic!

The next night Agnes goes to the A. A. open house,

and gets involved in a candy pull. The candy might be

sticky, but not the affair.

"Street cars don't seem to run this way anymore " says

Agnes. "Oh, joy, an Emory man I know IIS A CAR.

Going my way. Pinky?"

Poor little Agnes, the freshman, has to stay in campus

since she doesn't have a chaperon. She and her date

sit on the colonade steps wishing they were anywhere

else but here, doing anything else but this.

Agnes gladly cooperates with Georgia at their Little

Commencement, and other functions. What could be

nicer than a stroll in the Georgia moonlight with a

man and his dog?

Georgia Tech joins Agnes Scott in presenting the
operetta PIIS AFORE. Poor little Buttercup sings to her
captain, and he sings to her. ''Weren't practices and re-
hearsals lots of fun," exclaims Agnes.

Horrors! How did he get in here? Tonight he is a wel-
come guest, for When Emory's Dooley breaks on a girl
that is really an honor.

Agnes droops after a busy weekend. It's a good thing
her cooperative friends can't see her now.
