Agnes Scott Institute^

THE Institute seeks to develop the highest type
of womanhood. For the accomplishment
of this end the effort is made to provide the
advantages for the higher education, and at the
same time to surrround the student with those in-
fluences best adapted to form Christian character.
The curriculum and standard are high but not
higher than found in the best institutions, and not
higher than necessary to meet the demands of the
modern education of woman and to prepare her for
the largest usefulness. It is sought as far as pos-
sible to make the Institute a Christian home with
both the freedom and restraint which characterize
such a home. Special care is taken of the health
of the pupils and provisions made for their physical
development. The authorities of the Institute re-
gard each pupil as a sacred trust committed to
their care and guidance to be prepared for the
highest destiny here and hereafter.

The Institute was founded in 1889 for the higher
Christian education of young women. The object
in view was to establish an institution which
should offer the best educational advantages and
yet be distinctly and positively Christian. In or-
der to the largest fulfilment of this purpose its life

13

Agnes Scott Institute.

and work have been dominated by a definite plan
embodied in the followingr :

IDEAL.

\, A liberal curriculum, fully abreast of the
best institutions of the land.

2. A sound curriculum, with text-books along

all lines in harmony with the Bible.

3. The Bible a Text-book.

4. Thoroughly qualified and consecrated
teachers.

5. A high standard of scholarship.

6. The Institute a model Christian home.

7. All the influences in the school to be made
conducive to the formation and develop-
ment of Christian character,

8. The glory of God the chief end of all.

Requirements for Admission.

Requirements for Admission to the Collegiate
Department.

The wide-spread lack of thorough preparation
often causes serious disappointment to applicants
for the collegiate department. It is therefore urged
that pupils give the most careful attention to pre-
paratory work.

Admissfon to the Freshman Class.

English. (a) Elementary Rhetoric completed,
Lewis' First Book in writing English, or equiva-
lent. A standard English grammar completed.
A theme upon a subject assigned will be required
of each applicant. No student will be admitted
whose work is notably deficient in spelling, gram-
mar, punctuation or division into paragraphs.

(d) Literature. Careful study of Evangeline,
Keramos, The Great Stone Face, Christmas Carol,
and Mosses from an Old Manse. Other master-
pieces of British and American literature will be
accepted as substitutes.

Mathematics. (a) Arithmetic completed.
(d) Algebra to Involution, Wells', or equivalent.

Latin. (a) Collar and Daniel's First Year Latin
or an equivalent.

(d) Two books of Caesar, with careful study of
forms and syntax ; Latin Prose Composition ; Latin
Grammar ; sight-reading.

15

Aenes Scott Institute*

Text-books recommended : Greenough, D'Ooge
and Daniell's Second Year Latin Book, Part II. ;
for sight-reading, Part I. of same ; Moulton's Pre-
paratory Latin Prose Composition, Part II. ; a
Systematic Drill in Syntax; Gildersleeve-Lodge
Latin Grammar, college edition.

*French. A knowledge of the principles of
French Grammar as given in Chardenal's Com-
plete French Course as far as syntax.

Irregular and the most used regular verbs.

Ability to translate easy French prose into Eng-
lish.

*German. Joynes-Meissner's Grammar, Shorter
Course or equivalent ; Studien und Plaudereien ,
First Part, or equivalent.

History. (a) History of Greece, Fyffe's, or
equivalent.

(d) History of Rome, Creighton's, or equivalent.

Science. (a) Physical Geography, Davis, or
equivalent.

(d) Physiology, Blaisdell's, or equivalent.

The proper classification of new students is ex-
ceedingly important. If it is too high the stu-
dent will find her work a constant drag and
thoroughly unsatisfactory to herself, teachers and
parents. On the other hand, if too low an in-
justice will be done. To avoid both evils is our
earnest desire. After years of experience we find
the best plan is to combine two things viz. : ex-

*One required.

I6

Requirements for Admission,

amination and probation. After what, under the
circumstances, is considered a fair test, the student
will be classified on probation^ and all necessary
changes will be made after trial in daily recitations
and class-room work.

Admission to Advanced Classes*

Candidates for entrance to any class above the
Freshman will be required to stand examinations
on all subjects previously studied in the Collegiate
Department. For a list of these studies in the dif-
ferent courses see pp. i8 and 19.

Special Students.

Special students are permitted to elect any study
for which they give evidence of sufficient prepara-
tion.

Agnes Scott Institute,
ENGLISH LITERATURE.

Miss McKinney.

English Literature. The chief aim of this
branch of the English work is to arouse in the
students a desire to read and know the best Eng-
lish literature. As the first step toward gaining
this object, such of the masterpieces as will in-
terest the pupils and are adapted to their compre-
hension will be given the class for thorough and
careful study. These are discussed at length in
class.

As a second step toward this end, a course of
pleasant and instructive reading, outside of regular
work, is assigned to each class, to be reported upon
at regular intervals during the term. The stu-
dent is expected to read carefully and intelligently
all the books prescribed. She should read them as
she reads other books ; she is expected, not to
know them minutely, but to have freshly in mind
their most important parts.

Much written work is required of the classes in
this department, not only as a practical test of
their knowledge of the books read, but also as a
further help to clear and accurate writing.

give a correct pronunciation, a thorough knowl-
edge of the principles of French grammar and
syntax, a sympathetic appreciation of the French

GERMAN.

Miss Sheppard.

While acquiring a correct pronunciation, a suffi-
cient vocabulary, and a knowledge of grammatical
principles, the student is led to an understanding
of the German tongue as a living medium for the
expression and interchange of thought. A love

34

Course of Instruction.

for German literature is awakened, and an ambi-
tion to readily comprehend its masterpieces is
aroused. The method of instruction is varied to
suit the needs of the class, but the same end is
kept in view, that of grasping and expressing ideas.

1. Collar's-Eysenbach's Grammar. Such stories
as Immensee, Hoher als die Kirche, L'Arrabbiata,
Marchen und Erzahlungen are read and translated.
They are made the basis of German conversation
and are then reproduced in German by the class.

Three hours per week for one 3ear. Open to Freshmen.

2. Spanhoofd's Grammar. Anfang und Ende ;
Die Einsamen ; Wilhelm Tell ; Iphigenie. Atten-
tion is paid to the thought and style of the authors,
and character sketches and essays are written in
German.

Three hours per week for one year. Open to Sophomores.

3. The more difficult principles of grammar re-
viewed. Recitations in the German language from
Bilder aus der Deutschen Literatur. Reproduc-
tions in class from collateral reading. A classical
work read and criticized.

Three hours per week for one year. Open to Juniors.

Memory work, prose composition and composi-
tion in German are required each year. German
is the language of the class-room.

Those completing i, 2 and 3 will receive a cer-
tificate of proficiency.

A. CHEMISTRY.

1. Inorganic Chemistry. This course con-
sists of lectures, recitations, and laboratory work
in inorganic chemistry, using Remsen's Inorganic
Chemistry (briefer course) as basis of the work.
Laboratory work is essential. No student who is
not faithful and persevering in this branch of the
work will be promoted. Many experiments will
serve as class demonstration, but all except the
most difficult ones must be repeated by the stu-
dents in the laboratory.

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

This course is designed to give such general
knowledge of chemical facts and phenomena as is
the prerequisite of a liberal education, and to culti-
vate correct habits of observation and manipulation.

Each student is required to keep a record of her
laboratory work. The care and originality shown
in this record will be an important factor in the
determination of class-standing.

Students applying for admission to higher classes

36

Course of Instruction,

must furnish evidence of systematic laboratory work
in chemistry, as it is the quality and not the quan-
tity of their work that will be considered. Labo-
ratory books must, therefore, be presented before
the student is admitted to examination.

Recitations three hours per week throughout the
year ; laboratory work three hours per week.

Text-book : Remsen's Inorganic Chemistry (Briefer Course).
Books of Reference Mendeleeff's Principles of Chemistry
and Remsen's Inorganic Chemistry.

2. {a) Organic Chemistry. This class meets
twice a week throughout the year for a study of the
simpler compounds of carbon of the aliphatic and
the aromatic series. Regular hours of laboratory
work will be required of the students taking this
course.

Text-book : Remsen's Organic Chemistry.

Book of Reference Bernthsen's Organic Chemistry.

{d) QuAi^iTATivE Analysis. This course offers
students the opportunity of acquiring a practical
knowledge of qualitative analysis. It is essentially
a laboratory course, seven hours per week being
required in the laboratory. This class recites once
a week.

Text-book: Seller's Treatise on Qualitative Chemical An-
alysis.

Books of Reference Odling's Practical Chemistry, Muter's
Analytical Chemistry, and VoUhard.

3. (a) Quantitative Analysis. The most
common methods of gravimetric and volumetric
analysis are studied in this course, and the students
will be drilled by the many practical analyses which
will be required. This year's work will be given

37

Agnes Scott Institute.

only to those students who have chosen the special
chemistry course. Laboratory work, seven hours
a week.

Text-book: Cairn's Quantitative Analysis.

{b) Organic Preparations. A general course
in organic preparations is offered during the latter
portion of the last year to the students taking the
special chemistry course. The work will be selec-
ted from the books of Levy and Gattermann on
Organic Preparations. Laboratory work, seven
hours a w^eek.

The Institute has recently provided a separate
building for laboratory purposes.

This building is near the engine and dynamo
rooms, and is, therefore, supplied with steam heat,
electricity, and hot and cold water.

The chemical laboratory is well equipped for
general experimentation, having a good stock of
inorganic and organic chemicals, convenient labora-
tory desks, and a complete assortment of the neces-
sary laboratory apparatus.

Some of the best reference books and current
scientific journals are kept in the library. In the
Balance room is found the Becker balance of high
grade. The students in Analytical and Organic
Chemistry are now enabled to undertake full courses
in laboratory work, and those who take General
Chemistry have all the laboratory advantages they
could wish.

Course of Instruct ion>

B.- PHYSICS.

There are two courses in Physics.

1. Introductory Physics. This class recites
three hours a week and meets in the laboratory
three hours a week. This course is elementary,
and designed to present the simpler laws and prin-
ciples of Mechanics, Heat, Sound, Light and Elec-
tricity.

Text-book: Wentworth and Hill's Physics.

2. General Physics. This is a more extended
course, embracing a general study of Mechanics,
Sound, Heat, Light and Electricity, and the solu-
tion of a large number of problems under each of
the branches named. The lectures and recitations
will be enforced by numerous demonstrations, and
regular time will be provided for in the laboratory.

The laboratory is being equipped year by year
with the necessary apparatus. During this year
several very valuable pieces of apparatus have been
added. Recitations three hours per week.

Text-book : Avery's Principles of Physics.

Books of Reference : Barker's Physics and Ganot's Physics.

C BIOLOGY.

The Biological department is provided with very
fine compound microscopes, dissecting implements,
and sectioning and staining apparatus, and the
students are thus enabled to do a large amount of
practical work. There are four courses offered in
this department.

1. General Biology. This is a practical
course, which includes a study of animal morphol-

39

Agnes Scott Institute*

og>' and physiology Zoology ; and a study of veg-
etable morphology and physiology Botany.

This course will be elementary and founded on
selected portions of Davis's text-books of Biology.
In connection with the lectures and recitations a
regular course of laboratory work will be main-
tained, in which the lower forms of life, such as
the amoeba, the hydra, yeast, moulds, etc., will be
studied under the microscope ; and higher forms,
such as the oyster, the crayfish, the frog, the English
sparrow, etc., will be dissected. The object of this
course is to give the students a knowledge of the
most important phenomena of animal and plant life.

During a part of the second term an elementary
course in the botany of flowering plants is given.
The various parts of a plant, such as seeds, roots,
stem, leaves, etc., are studied, and this is followed
byl^an examination and classification of the ordinary
native plants of the vicinity. This course com-
prises two hours a week of laboratory work, and so
much of field work as circumstances will allow.

This class will recite three times a week.

Text-books : Needham's Lessons in Zoology, Davis's Biology
Part I,, and Bergen's Elements of Botany.

Books of Reference : Brook's Invertebrate Zoolog}^ Com-
stock's Manual for Study of Insects, Gray's School and Field
Botany, and Chapman's Botany.

2. Structural Botany. Microscopic methods
are studied more in detail. Sectioning, staining,
and mounting of slides are put to practical use in
the study of the structure and relations of the dif-
ferent organs and parts of the plant. Recitations

two hours a week. Laboratory work five hours a
week.

Text-book : Strasburger's Practical Botanj'.

3. Animal Physiology. This course is de-
signed to give the student a thorough knowledge
of the functions of life as demonstrated in man and
the higher animals. It is largely an experimental
course in physiology, and so the student will carry
out many of the studies in the laboratory. In con-
nection with the work the dissection of a mammal
will be required. This class meets four times a
week.

Text-book : Martin's Human Body.
Books of Reference : Foster and Howell.

4. Animal Morphology. This is a laboratory
course offered to students who have completed
General Biology (i). It embraces a study of the
morphology and embryology of simple invertebrate
and vertebrate types, and a brief course in compar-
ative Osteology. This class meets twice a week,
and spends seven hours a week in the laboratory.

Text-books : Sedgwick and "Wilson's Biology, Brook's Inver-
tebrate Zoologj', Quain's Osteology^.

D.-GEOLOGY.

In this department recitations and class work are
supplemented by assigned readings, laboratory work
and excursions.

This section of Georgia presents some very inter-
esting features for geological students. The shifted
divides of North Georgia and South Carolina and

41

Agnes Scott Institute.

the belted coastal plain of South Georgia and Ala-
bama furnish excellent studies in Physiography.
Stone Mountain, a splendid geological problem for
the students, is but a few miles distant.

The Institute will eudeavor to keep a complete
set of publications of the United States Geological
Survey, as well as those of the different States.
Students will be encouraged to inform themselves
respecting the geology of the regions from which
they come.

1. (a) This course is designed to give an under-
standing of the general character of the earth's his-
tory,and embraces physiographic Geology, dynamic
and structural Geology, and historical Geology.

A special course is now being planned in Physi-
ography, which will be a stepping-stone to this gen-
eral course in Geology.

Text-books : Le Conte's Geology or W. B. Scott's Elements
of Geology ,

Books of Reference : Lyell's Principles of Geology, Geikie's
Text-book of Geology.

(d) Mineralogy and Crystallography. This is a
very elementary laboratory course which is so di-
rected by the instructor as to make the students
familiar with the most common minerals and crys-
tal forms and the methods of identifying them.

Books of Reference : Dana's Text-book of Mineralogy and
G. 11. Williams' Elements of Crystallography.

This class recites three times a week throughout
the session.

Scott and others, a miiieralogical cabinet of over
300 specimens lias been recently added to this de-
partment, which will be of great value to the geo-
logical students.

E ASTRONOMY.

1. This course in Astronomy is based on Young's
General Astronomy. A knov/ledge of Trigonome-
try and Analytical Geometry is necessary.

Though denied the use of the large and refined
instruments now at the command of wealthy insti-
tutions, photographs and stereopticon views of the
instruments now in use in the Yerkes and Lick ob-
servatories will be presented and their working de-
scribed. The Institute has a small telescope which
adds much interest to these studies.

Text-book : Young's General Astronomy.
Reference : Newcomb & Holdeu.

THE BIBLE.

Dr. Gaines.

This is a three years' course, beginning with
Sophomore year.

Objects. (i) To give a clear knowledge of Bib-
lical History. The facts of this history not only
form the basis of our religion, but have deter-
mined the history of the race, and especially of
Christendom.

(2) To give in some measure an adequate view

43

Agnes Scott Institute.

of the value of the Bible. While the Bible is theo-
retically considered the greatest book in existence,
yet comparatively few have a true appreciation of
the ground of this claim.

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

How THE Course is Taught. (i) The Bible
itself is the main text-book ; other books are used
only as guides or helps.

(2) The Bible is \.2M^\ systematically i. e.^ ac-
cording to a plan. The plan used is to divide
each Testament into periods according to the
epochs in the history, and to study these periods in
order.

(3) The Bible is taught analytically. Each
period is carefully analyzed and the material or-
derly arranged. Then, as time permits, books and
chapters are analyzed.

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

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

The course is arranged as follows :

1. From the Creation to the Kingdom; Text-
books: The Bible; Bible Course: Outline and
Notes (Gaines) ; Manual of Biblical Geography
(Hurlbut).

Two hours a week.

44

Course of Instruction,

2. From the Kingdom to End of Old Testa-
ment ; same text-books continued.

Two hours a week.

3. The New Testament ; same text-books con-
tinued, with the following additional : Harmony
of the Gospel (Broadus); Evidences of Christianity
(Alexander).

Two hours a week.

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

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

HISTORY,

Miss Massie.

In this department effort is made to employ those
methods of instruction best adapted to remove the
prejudice that history is a dry mass of facts and
dates, to arouse in the student enthusiasm for the
study of History, and to constantly impress the
idea of the continuity of all history as well as the
unity of national life, throughout all changes and
even revolutions.

1. Sheldon's Ancient History, supplemented on
certain subjects by Myers' History of Greece and
of Rome and Oman's Greece.

taken courses i, 2, 3.

Topics for special study are assigned from time
to time, of which verbal or written reports are
given to the class. For the preparation of these
topics much use is made of the source books and
leaflets now available, and the student is taught to
distinguish between contemporaneous accounts and
those given by later historians or biographers.

States and territorial acquisitions are located
and lines of march of tribes and armies traced by
the class on outline maps at first from memory,
to be corrected later by comparison with an atlas.

For this, Heath's Outline Maps are used.

Written tests are given at intervals, and one
paper of 1,000 words is required of those students
who take course i, and several papers of those
taking courses 2, 3 or four.

tiires and items of interest bearing on the subject
studied.

A reading-room, well supplied with the best
periodicals, enables the students to prepare them-
selves for a weekly discussion of topics of the day
and of matters of general information.

PHDLOSOPHY.

This is a two years' course, beginning with the
Junior year. The department includes Formal
Logic, Rational and Educational Psychology, The-
oretical and Practical Ethics, the History of Phi-
losophy and of Education. For graduation or to
secure a certificate of proficiency, the entire
course must be completed. The first year at-
tention is given to the relations between Physi-
ology and Psychology, to the kinds of mental ac-
tivity, to the primary laws of thought and their
application in correct thinking, and to the value
of psychologic principles as the basis of true edu-
cational methods.

In the second year the natural progression from
Psychology to the settlement of the ethical the-
ory and its application is observed. The ground
of moral obligation is studied, as well as the im-
pulsive, rational and moral principles of action.
Specific duties arising from special relations are
discussed.

Attention is given to the history of ancient,
mediaeval and modern Philosophy. A short time

49

Agnes Scott Institute*

is devoted to the lives and work of some of the
chief educators, and an effort is made to cull
from them the essentials of pedagogical doctrine.

1. {a) Logic, Inductive and Deductive.
The text-book used is Poland. References are
made to Bowen, Schuyler, Creighton and Jevons-
Hill.

(d) Psychology. The text-books used are

The work of this department embraces instruc-
tion in piano, organ, violin, voice culture, art of
singing, harmony, theory of music, history of
music, sight-reading and chorus singing. Only ex-
perienced teachers of special talent and training
are employed ; there are no tutors or assistants.
Students in piano, organ, violin and voice culture
have two lessons a week of half an hour each.
Harmony, theory, sight-reading, etc., are taught in
classes. Each student is expected to perform the
part assigned her in frequent recitals. Piano pupils
in the preparatory grade are expected to practice
one hour daily ; more advanced students, two hours.
Students in voice culture will practice one hour a
day. Special students can arrange for more time.

Literary Course with Music as a Leading Study.

To meet more fully the needs of an increasing
number of young women who wish to acquire at
the same time a liberal literary as well as musical
education, there has been arranged a course with
music as a special study. This course includes
study of a solo instrument or singing, together
with the full course in Harmony, History of Music,
and Musical Science, offering to the student broad
musical training, which may serve as the basis for
the practical work of a specialist.

53

VIOLIN.

The method of instruction follows that taught
by the greatest of living German violinists, Prof.
Joseph Joachim, Director of the Royal Academy
of Arts, Berlin, Germany, under whose supervi-
sion Miss Morgan received most of her musical
training.

The instruction is necessarily individual, being
suited to the needs and talent of each student. Much
attention is given to right-hand as well as to left-
hand technic, the practical and very graceful Joa-
chim bowing resulting in beautiful tone production.

illustrations will be provided to aid in the interest
and profitableness of the study. Reference will also
be made to literature in its connection with Art.

Other students of the school may, with permission
of the President, be admitted to this class. All

ACADEMIC DEPARTMENT.

The work in this department extends over four
years, and has been so arranged as to prepare pupils
for the courses leading to graduation in the Colle-
giate department. Too great importance cannot be
attached to a regular and thorough preparation for
college. The degree of success of a student in the
college classes will depend largely on what she has
done in the Academy and especially upon hozv she
has done it. This department has therefore been
organized with very great care with a view to giv-
ing the best preparation for our Freshman class.

REQUIREMENTS FOR ENTRANCE.

English. Language lessons, study of the sen-
tence, lessons in punctuation and capitalization,
simple letter-writing.

Arithmetic. Addition, subtraction, multiplica-
tion, division, primary fractions.

Geography. Maury's Elementary Geography,
or an equivalent, completed.

Reading. Ability to read intelligently and ex-
pressively standard works of the grade of Haw-
thorne's Wonder Book and Kingsley's Greek
Heroes.

Agnes Scott Institute,
ENGLISH.

Grajnmar and Compo.ntio7i. The aim of this
department is to give the pupil a thorough knowl-
edge of English Grammar and to teach her the
methods of simple, direct, and accurate expression.
The study of the principles of composition is not
left until the third or fourth year ; from the begin-
ning the pupil is led to frame simple generaliza-
tions for her own guidance. Much composition
work is done in the first and second years. In the
third and fourth years fortnightly themes are re-
quired. In each of the four years many themes are
written in class, a limited period being set apart
for the first draft and half as much time being given
for revision.

Literature and Reading. In general, the object
of this department is fourfold : (i) To secure a
ready apprehension of thought and feeling from the
printed page ; (2) to cultivate the power to give
correct vocal expression to thought and feeling ;
(3) to secure at least a slight acquaintance with
classic literature ; (4) to create and foster a love
for good reading.

Before entering upon this stage of their work
pupils are supposed to have had thorough training
in reading, although much of the class-work of these
four years consists in reading aloud. Pupils will
be required also, from time to time, to memorize
passages from the selections studied. In addition
to the regular class-work there will be assigned
books for home reading.

General Information*

General Information*

Religious The work of each day is begun with
Features, religious exercises in the chapel and
is closed with evening prayer. The
Sabbath is observed as a holy day. The board-
ing students attend the Sabbath-school in the Insti-
tute conducted by the resident teachers. All stu-
dents are expected to attend church on Sabbath
morning. Prayer-meeting is held in the Institute
weekly. There is also a morning prayer-meeting
conducted by the students. The Agnes Scott
Christian Band, composed of teachers and students,
meets every Sabbath evening.

The Institution has been founded and sustained
by Presbyterians, and hence its moral standards
and religious life conform as nearly as possible to
those which obtain in that church. Special care,
however, is taken not to interfere in any way with
the religious views or preferences of students from
families belonging to other denominations, or to no
denomination, all of whom are welcome.

Every effort is made to give

The the Institute the character of

Institute Home, a Christian home. Teachers

and students constitute one

household. Care is taken to render the home-life

of the student not only attractive, but conducive to

the cultivation of those graces of character which

71

Agnes Scott Institute*

mark refined women. Only snch restrictions are
thrown around the students as are considered impor-
tant for their health, safety and improvement. Im-
portance is attached to the cultivation of that con-
siderate regard for the wishes and feelings of others
which lead to courteous deportment.

A student who persists in disobedience or disre-
spect, or even neglect of duty, and who is evi-
dently gaining no good herself and hindering
others, is not permitted to remain in the Institute.
Students are not allowed to leave the grounds with-
out permission, or unaccompanied by a teacher.
Frequently during the year instruction in manners
and etiquette is given by the Lady Principal.

Decatur, the county site of DeKalb
Location, county, is a town of some 2,000 inhab-
itants on the Georgia Railroad, six miles
east of the Union Depot, Atlanta. All the condi-
tions of healthf ulness seem to be met perfectly here :
an elevation of 1,050 feet; no large streams or
bodies of water near enough to give dampness to the
atmosphere ; fine freestone water ; excellent drain-
age, and freedom from malaria. There are Presby-
terian, Methodist and Baptist churches with resident
pastors, and also an Episcopal chapel. The Donald
Fraser High School for boys, a preparatory school
of high grade and superior management, is located
here.

The nearness and accessibility of Decatur to At-
lanta render available all the advantages of the city.
Besides the Georgia Railroad with frequent passen-
ger trains, there are three electric lines with fifteen,
twenty, and thirty minute schedules. It is, there-

72

General Information,

fore, entirely convenient and practicable for the
students to attend the lecture and concert courses
in the city, always, of course, accompanied by
teachers. During the past session some of the most
noted lecturers in the profession have visited At-
lanta, while the musical attractions have been very
fine. All things considered, it would seem diffi-
cult to find a location combining more advantages
for a great institution of learning than this.

The Main Building, completed and
Building's, occupied for the first time in the fall of
1891, is a massive edifice, simple in
architecture yet not lacking in impressiveness.

It is constructed of brick, granite and marble, is
one hundred and ninety-four feet long, fifty-four
feet wide, and four stories high above basement.

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

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

The chambers are unusually large, arranged so
as to admit abundant sunlight, and in their con-
struction especial attention was given to securing
perfect ventilation. The furniture and appoint-
ments are homelike and comfortable. While lux-
ury has not been studied, every convenience nec-
essary for health and comfort has been supplied.

The departments of Music and Art occupy the
entire fourth floor.

75

Agnes Scott Institute.

Each floor is supplied with water, bath and toilet
rooms, electric bells, and ample hose and fire
buckets.

The sanitation has been arranged with the ut-
most care, and is regularly inspected and kept in
order.

At the close of the session of 1900-
"Westlawn. 1901 it became evident that the rapid
growth of the Institute made it neces-
sary to provide more room. To meet this pressing
need the Trustees purchased in the early summer
the beautiful home of Mr. W. F. Pattillo. This
purchase was made possible by the generosit}' of
two friends of the Institute, Mr. S. M. Inman and
Mrs. Josephine Abbott. The property acquired ad-
joins the Institute grounds, and comprises a lot of
about three acres and a comfortable dwelling con-
taining eight rooms. This addition has been named
Westlawn. The division fence between the Insti-
tute and Westlawn has been removed, thus giving us
within one enclosure, nearly ten acres. The dwell-
ing has been thoroughly renovated and connected
with the Institute building by a brick walk, thus
adding eight comfortable and attractive rooms for
the accommodation of teachers and students.

The bedrooms of the Institute are comfortably
furnished, and are thoroughly warmed and venti-
lated, and are never crowded. The occupants of
each room are required to keep it in order, and all
rooms are daily inspected.

Rooms are assigned in the order of application
for entrance.

The Intendant of the Infirmary is in special

76

>

General Information^

charge of the dormitory floors. She will at all
times rigidly inspect the rooms of the students, and
see that they are neatly and properly kept in order,
reporting any dereliction to the Lady Principal.

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

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

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

In pursuing a course of
Health and study, good health is of the

Physical Training:, highest importance. There is
in this Institution a close and
intelligent supervision over the health of the board-
ins: students. The best medical advice is secured
and a trained nurse provided. All the conditions
of proper sanitation are carefully observed. The
Institute has a superior system of sewerage, and
an abundant supply of the purest water. From

79

Agnes Scott Institute*

basement to attic much care is exercised to main-
tain cleanliness and liealthfulness.

The infirmary has been removed from the main
building into a cottage near by. The advantages
in this arrangement are obvious. The sick are
transferred from the unavoidable noise of the large
boarding department into a place of absolute quiet.
In the event of any contagious disease developing
among the students, perfect isolation can be effected
at once. The Infirmary is furnished and equipped
with every convenience and comfort. It will be a
satisfaction to parents to know^ also that Miss Ap-
pleyard, who is in charge of the Infirmary, is a
trained mirse^ who has had the best training and
large experience. In sickness, therefore, parents
may rest assured their daughters will have every
comfort and the most skillful nursing. Miss
Appleyard looks carefully after the health of the
girls, and is able frequently to prevent sickness by
timely suggestions and attention. In cases of pro-
tracted sickness or contagious diseases parents
must provide nurse at their own expense.

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

Parents are urged to communicate freely with the
Lady Principal concerning the physical condition
of their daughters at the time of their entrance,
and to state whether their daughters have any
special weakness or tendency to disease, or idiosyn-
crasies of constitution.

The Trustees feel that they can conscientiously

80

General Information.

assure parents that, in case of illness, their
daughters will receive prompt and skillful medi-
cal attention, faithful and tender nursing, and in
every case of serious illness they will be promptly
advised.

The Institute Gymnasium con-
Physical Culture, tains the best apparatus, includ-
ing Horizontal and Vaulting
Bars, Horse, Flying-rings, Chest- weights, Clubs,
"VVands, Dumb-bells, Rings, Hoops, etc.

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

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

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

The Library includes works of
Library and history , standard fiction , biography,
Reading-room, travels, essays, and treatises upon
literature, the classics. Biblical and
miscellaneous topics. The Sunday-school library
has been selected with extreme care, and is much
read by the pupils.

83

Agnes Scott Institute*

It is the intention of the Trustees to add such
reference books as will keep the departments fully
abreast with the advancement made in the differ-
ent lines of study.

The reading-room is supplied with a large selec-
tion of choice periodicals, and receives regularly
the following magazines and papers, to wit :

Harper's Monthly, Century, Art Amateur, China
Decorator, Eclectic Magazine, Etude, Current Lit-
erature, New York Observer, Popular Science
Monthly, Youth's Companion, Southern Presbyte-
rian, Christian Observer, Christian Index, Chris-
tian Advocate, Music Courier, Art Interchange,
Educational Review, L-adies' Home Journal, IMusic,
Missionary Review of the World, Review of Re-
views, Atlantic Monthly, American Naturalist,
The Bookman, Scribner's Magazine.

The Literary Societies con-
Literary Szcicties* tribute much to the social life
and literary attainments of the
students, and are valuable as a means of cultivat-
ing ease of manner and expression, of fostering a
taste for good literature, and of developing social
and literary gifts.

The Mnemosynean Society was organized in Oc-
ctober, 1891, and the Propylean in May, 1897.

These societies have beautiful and attractive
halls in the Institute. They meet once a week,
and their programs consist of readings, recitations,
essays, debates and music.

These societies are using their funds year by year
in the building up of excellent libraries for the
benefit of their members.

The above charges are designed to cover actual
cost of the advantages furnished. The Institute
is not conducted for financial profit, and neither
desires nor expects to do more than maintain the
institution at its present high state of excellence.
The entering of a piLpil in this Institute shall be
deemed a formal a7id explicit contract for her to re-
main until the close of the school year. The Insti-
tution obligates itself to furnish board, instruction,
and all the advantages it offers for the scholastic
year^ while the patron upon his part, by entering
his daughter, or ward, obligates^^xvas^i to send her
for the entire session. In no other way can a school
without endowment be maintained, since all en.
gagements with teachers and other provision for
conducting the school must be made in advance for
the entire year. Patrons can therefore understand
why no portion of the fees wall be refunded in the
event of withdrawal, unless such withdrawal is
recommended or approved by the Institute physi-
cian on account of sickness.

The same rule applies to both boarding and day
students. If for any reason a student is entered for

less than the session, special arrangement must be
made with the President.

Those who may find it more convenient to pay
quarterly in advance can arrange to do so by apply-
ing to the President.

In addition to the charges given above, each
boarding pupil pays a physician's fee of $5.00 for
the session or any part of it. This fee secures the
services of a prominent Atlanta physician for the
entire session, except in cases of protracted and ag-
gravated illness. This arrangement is made en-
tirely in the interest of our patrons. The Insti-
tute does not receive one cent of these fees, but
pays the entire amount to the physician. The
economy of the plan is seen in this, that the at-
tendance of the physician for the session is secured
for an amount charged by an Atlanta physician for
a single visit to Decatur.

No DEDUCTIONS FOR ANY CAUSE WILL BE AL-
LOWED PUPILS WITHDRAWING AFTER THE BEGIN-
NING OF THE FOURTH QUARTER.

All drafts, checks and money orders should be
made payable to F. H. Gaines, President. If remit-
tance is by local check, add 25c. for exchange.

DISCOUNTS.

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

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

90

General Information,

Special studies, physician's fee, and laundry at
regular rates.

To ministers regularly engaged in their calling,
who send their daughters as day pupils, a discount
of ten per cent. Avill be given on tuition in Literary
Department. Branches under the head Special 2X
catalogue rates.

Patrons will notice that, with two exceptions, all
discounts have been discontinued. This has been
done because rates were already at cost.

No discount will be allowed either hoarding or
day pupils for absence from any cause except sick-
ness, and that only when the absence is for as long
a period as one month.

Parents must not expect to pay only for the time
their daughters are in actual attendance. No student
will be received for less than a quarter, and then
only by special arrangement with the President.

Suggestions to Parents or Guardians,

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

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

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

Parents are urgently requested not to interfere
with the studies of their daughters by withdrawing

91

Agnes Scott Institute.

them during the session to spend a week or two at
home. PARENTS ARE ALSO REQUESTED
NOT TO WITHDRAW THEIR DAUGHTERS
UNTIL AFTER COMMENCEMENT, EXCEPT
FOR URGENT REASONS. Such withdrawals
seriously interrupt the progress of the pupil, are
positively injurious to the classes, and tend to dis-
tract the whole school.

Parents cannot give their daughters permission
to do what is prohibited, nor to omit what is re-
quired by the rules of this Institute.

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

Examinations are not only a test of scholarship,
but are an important means of mental training,
and an incentive to close application.

Our table is abundantly supplied with
wholesome food, and parents are urged not
to send their daughters eatables. placing
before them a temptation to eat rich food
at all hours is a most effectual means of
defeating all the ends for which they have
been sent to school-

Frequent visiting has been found to seriously
interfere with the work of pupils, therefore they

Agnes Scott Institute,

Needs of the Institute*

The Institute was founded for a great purpose :
The Glory of God itt the Higher Christian Educa-
tion! of Woman. For the accomplishment of this
purpose more than $150,000 has been contributed
in grounds, buildings, equipment and support. The
advance in female education has been so great in
recent years that now equally as fine advantages
are demanded for our daughters as for our sons. If
the institution is to meet this demand, and most
fully and successfully accomplish the great pur-
pose for which it was founded, it yet has great
needs.

Some of these are :

1. Two Additional Buildings. There is now
urgent need for two new buildings which would sup-
ply larger chapel, art studio, library, gymnasium
and additional dormitories.

2. Endowment. The necessity for endowment
has become so urgent that the Board of Trustees,
at a meeting in October of 1899, determined to
make an effort to raise 1 100,000 as a permanent
endowment fund. The President of the Institute
was commissioned to undertake this work. Ac-
cordingly, at the meeting of the Synod of Georgia
in Marietta, November, 1899, ^^ presented the needs
and claims of the Institute. The Synod indorsed

108

Needs of the Institute.

the movement by a rising unanimous vote, and the
members present at once subscribed $3,200 to the
fund. Since the meeting of the Synod, the Presi-
dent has visited many of the churches in the inter-
est of the fund, and has met with much encourage-
ment from ministers and a liberal response. At this
date the subscriptions aggregate $51,500. It is
earnestly hoped this sum will very soon be increased
to a minimum of $100,000 in order that Agnes
Scott may be put upon an assured basis, and its
efficiency and usefulness increased. By a united
effort the Presbyterians of Georgia and the South
may speedily make Agnes Scott the equal of the
best colleges for women in the United States.

3. Scholarships. We often have applications
from worthy young women for aid in securing an
education. While we are always glad to do what
we can, our ability is limited. There is great need
both for endowment scholarships and annual schol-
arships. The sum of $5,000 will endow a scholar-
ship for a boarding pupil, or $1,000 a day pupil.
The sum of $250 will procure a scholarship for a
boarding pupil for one year, or $50 a day pupil.

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

Form of Bequest ot Devise.

The Agnes Scott Institute is a corporation cre-
ated by the laws of the State of Georgia, and a
proper form of bequest would be as follows :

109

Agnes Scott Institute.

" To the Agnes Scott Institute, I give and be-
queath the sum of Dollars

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

The Alumnae Association.

During the Commencement of 1895 the Agnes
Scott Alumnae Association was organized. The
object of the Association is to strengthen the inter-
est of those who have been connected with the
school in each other and in the Institute, to place
them in a helpful relation toward it, and to arouse
and quicken interest in Christian education. For
six successive years a day pupil has been main-
tained in school by the Alumnae, and over five
hundred dollars have been collected by them toward
the establishment of a permanent scholarship fund.
By securing small contributions from a great num-
ber, it is hoped that the interest, sympathy and
prayers of many will be enlisted for those who
would otherwise be unable to secure an education.

Donations to the fund will be gratefully received,
sacredly guarded, and faithfully used.

Any money for this caiise will be received by
the President of the Institution.

Organization of the Association.

President Miss Anna Young.
Secretary Miss Mary Barnett.
Treasurer Miss Annie Gash.
