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 surround 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 provision 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 prepare for the highest
destiny here and hereafter.

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.

15

Agnes Scott Institute^

Admission to the Freshman Class.

EngIvISH. (a) Elementary Rhetoric completed,
Lockwood's, or equivalent. A standard English

signed will be required of each applicant. No

ficient in point of spelling, grammar, punctuation
or division into paragraphs.

Keramos, The Great Stone Face, Christmas Carol,

equivalent.

{b) History of Rome, Creighton's, or equivalent.

Science. (a) Physical Geography, Maury's, or
equivalent.

{b) Physiology, Blaisdell's, or equivalent.

Rigid entrance examinations place pupils at a
disadvantage and are, therefore, not a true test.
After considerable experience we have found it best
not to subject applicants for admission to the Fresh-
man or Academic classes to such examinations.
Hence students will be admitted on probation to
the above classes by certificates from accredited
schools, and all necessary changes will be made
after actual test in daily recitations, except that all
students must pass a satisfactory examination on
Arithmetic.

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. 22-48.

Special Students.

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

E7iglish. The aim of this department is to de-
velop the student's power of writing and speaking-
good English. Great emphasis is placed upon the
practical power of Rhetoric Composition. The
principles governing clear and correct writing are
taught, and practical skill is gained by the prepa-
ration of weekly themes. Long themes are required
at stated intervals.

English Literature. The chief aim of this
branch of the English work is to arouse in the
pupils a desire to read and know what is the best
English literature. As the first step toward gain-

Course of Instruction*

ing this object, such of the masterpieces as will
interest 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 through 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.

Course of Instruction.

FRENCH.

Miss Massie,

The aim of instruction in this department is to
give a correct pronunciation, a thorough knowledge
of the principles of French grammar and syntax,
a sympathetic appreciation of the French point of
view and of French characteristics as revealed in
selections from their best authors. Pupils are en-
couraged to express themselves upon ordinary
topics in correct French and to read French with-
out translation into English.

pleted.

sively, the language of the class-room.

Three hours a week, one year.

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
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.

33

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.

A brief course of lectures on the simpler com-
pounds of carbon of the aliphatic and the aromatic
series will close this year's work.

This course is designed to give that general
knowledge of chemical facts and phenomena that 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.

35

Course of Instruction.

Students applying for admission to higher classes
must furnish evidence of systematic laboratory work
in chemistry, as it is the quality and not the quan-
tity of their work in chemistry that will be consid-
ered. Laboratory books must, therefore, be pre-
sented before the student is admitted to examination.

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

Text-books Remsen's Inorganic Chemistry (Briefer Course)
and Remsen's Organic Chemistry.

Books of Reference M6ndel6eff's Principles of Chemistry
and Remsen's Inorganic Chemistry.

2. (a) Organic Chemistry. This class meets
twice a weeek throughout the year for a more ex-
tended study of the compounds of carbon, and reg-
ular hours of laboratory work will be required of
the students taking this course.

Text-books Remsen's Organic Chemistry.

]')Ooks of Reference Bernthsen's Organic Chemistry.

(d) Qualitative 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 re-
quired iu the laboratory. This class recites once a
week.

Text-books Odling's Practical Chemistry and Muter's Ana-
lytical Chemistry.

Books of Refrence Vollhard and Sellers.

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
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 week.

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.

B. PHYSICS.

There are two courses offered in Physics.

1. Introductory Physics. This class recites

37

Course of Instruction,

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 Phyics.

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 Averj''s Principles of Physics.

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

C BIOLCX5Y.

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-
ogy 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..

38

Course of Instruction,

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, the yeast plants, moulds, etc. ,
will be studied under the microscope ; and higher
forms, such as the oyster, the crayfish, the frog, the
chicken, 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
by 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' Biology
Part I., and Bergen's Elements of Botany.

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

2. Structurai, 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 Botany.

3. AnimaIv PHYSIOI.OGY. This course is de-
signed to give the student a thorough knowledge
of the functions of life as demonstrated in man and

39

Course of Instruction-

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 laboratry
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 Zoology, 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
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 endeavor 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.

40

Course of Instruction,

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 : I,yell'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. H. Williams' Elements of Crystallography.

This class recites three times a week throughout
the session.

Through the kindness and generosity of Mr.
N. P. Pratt, Dr. D. A. Shumate, Colonel Geo. W.
Scott and others, a mineralogical cabinet of over
300 specimens has 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 knowledge 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

observatories will be presented and their working

described. The Institute has a small telescope

which adds much interest to these studies.

Text-book : Young's General Astronomy.
Reference : Newcombe & Holden.

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
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 how to study the Bible. Much
Bible reading and even Bible stndy 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 taught systematically i. e.^ ac-
cording to a plan. The plan used is to divide
each Testament into periods according to the

42

Course of Instruction>

epoch 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.

9. From the Kingdom to End of Old Testament ;
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.

For the first time an Elective Course of Bible
Study will be offered next session. The aim of this

43

Course of Instruction.

elective course is to give a more thorough prepara-
tion for teaching the Bible and for larger Christian
usefulness.

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 pupil 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.

(a) The civilizations of the ancient East and its
contribution to Greece, the influence of physical
geography upon the Greek State, Greek political
history to the death of Alexander, the characteris-
tics of Greek civilization, history of the origin and
development of the Greek drama.

to the class. For the preparation of these topics
much use is made of the source books and leaflets
now available, and the pupil 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 i,ooo words is required of those pupils
who take course i, and several papers of those tak-
ing Courses 2, 3 or 4.

Class discussion is encouraged, and pupils are
urged to bring to the class from magazines, news-
papers or any sources available, collections of pic-
tures and items of interest bearing on the subject
studied.

A reading-room, well supplied with the best pe-
riodicals, enables the pupils to prepare themselves
for a weekly discussion of topics of the day and of
matters of general information.

branch will have, in connection with it, the study
of Art History,

There will be an hour lesson once a week, the
study extending over a two years' course. Excellent
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 pupils of the school may, with permission
of the President, be admitted to this class. All
studio pupils are expected to study Art History if
so advised by the teacher of the department.

ACADEMIC DEPARTMENT.

The work in this department extends over four
years, and has been so arranged as to prepare students
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 how 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.

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) and 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
l>ooks for home reading.

'j'l^g The Institute was founded in 1889

A^nes Scott ^^^ the higher Christian education of
Ideal* young women. The object in view

was to establish an institution whicli
should offer the best educational advantages and
yet be distinctly and positively Christian. In order
to the largest fulfilment of this purpose its life and
work have been dominated by a definite plan em-
bodied in the following

IDEAL.

J. 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.

68

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 pupils 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 pupils, ^
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.

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 healthfulness 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.

71

General Information*

The nearness and accessibility of Decatur to At-
lanta render available all the advantages of the
city. Besides the Georgia Railroad with frequent
passenger trains, there are three electric lines with
twenty and thirty minute schedules. It is, there-
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
Baildings. occupied for the first time in the fall of
1 891, 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-

72

General Information,

Tiry has not been studied, every convenience nec-
essary for health and comfort has been supplied.

The School of Music and the Art Studio occupy
the entire fourth floor.

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.

Every effort is made to give
The the Institute the character of

Institute Home. a Christian home. Teachers
and pupils 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
mark refined women. Only such restrictions are
thrown around the pupils 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 leads 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.
Pupils 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.

The bedrooms of the Institute are comfortably
furnished, and are thoroughly warmed and venti-
lated, and are never crowded. The occupants of

75

General Information*

each room are required to keep it in order, and all
rooms are daily inspected.

Rooms are assigned in the order of appiicatioti
for etitrance.

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

Each boarding pupil must furnish two
Outfit, pair of sheets, two pair of pillow-cases, six
table-napkins, napkin ring, six towels, two
laundry bags, gossamer, umbrella, and a pair of
rubber shoes. The pillow-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. Pupils will 7iot 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-
ing pupils. The best medical advice is secured
and a trained nurse provided. All the conditions

76

General Information.

of proper sanitation are carefully observed. The
Institute has a superior system of sewerage, and an
abundant supply of the purest water. From base-
ment to attic much care is exercised to maintain
cleanliness and healthfulness.

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
hy timely suggestions and attention. In cases of
protracted 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 physicial condition
of their daughters at the time of their entrance,
and to state whether their daughters have any

77

General Information*

special weakness or tendency to disease, or idiosyn-^
crasies of constitution.

The Trustees feel that they can conscientiously
assure parents that, in cases of illness, their
daughters will receive prompt and skillful medical
attention, faithful and tender nursing, and in every
case of serious illness they will be promptly ad-
vised.

The Institute Gymnasium con-
Physical Culture, tains the best apparatus, includ-
ing Horizontal and Vaulting
Bars, Horse, Flying-rings, Chest-weights, Clubs,
Wands, 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
work 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^

literature, the classics. Biblical and

miscellaneous topics. The Sunday-school librar5r

has been selected with extreme care, and is much
read by the pupils.

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 different
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, St. Nicholas, Har-
per's Bazar, Art Amateur, China Decorator, Eclec-
tic Magazine, Etude, Current Literature, New York
Observer, Popular Science Monthly, Scientific
American, Werner's Magazine, Youth's Companion,
Southern Presbyterian, Christian Observer, Chris-
tian Index, Christian Advocate, Music Courier, Art
Interchange, Biblical World, Educational Review,
Forum, Ladies' Home Journal, Music.

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

The Mnemosynean Society was organized in Oc-
tober, 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.

In order to encourage and stimulate literary com-
position, each society offers a handsome gold medal
to the member preparing during the year the best

81

General Information*

three papers, essays or stories, under such conditions
as the society shall determine. The method of
awarding and presenting this prize is prescribed in
the constitution of each society.

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

Mr. T. P. Shouts of Chicago gen-
The Shonts erously offers a prize of $100.00
Library Prize* each year to be applied to the pur-
chase of books for the Society Libra-
ries. This prize is to be competed for by the two
societies, and to be awarded on certain specified
conditions at the close of the session to the suc-
cessful contestant.

SCHOLARSHIPS.

The W. A. Moore Scholarship. Under the will
of the late William A. Moore, a Ruling Elder of
the First Presbyterian Church of Atlanta, the In-
stitute received, in 1892, a legacy of $5,000.

The will of Mr. Moore provides that " this sum
shall be held as a permanent fund or endowment
for the education at this Institute of worthy girls
of Presbyterian parents who are unable to provide a
collegiate education for their daughters," the same
to be permanently invested, and only the interest
to be used.

Scholarships under this fund are annually
awarded as directed in Mr. Moore's will.

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 ptipil itt this Institute shall be
deemed a formal and 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
_^^ar, while the patron upon his part, by entering his
daughter, or ward, obligates himself to send her y^r
the e7itire 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 will be refunded in the
event of withrawal, unless such withdrawal is rec-
ommended or approved by the Institute physi-
cian on account of sickness.

The same rule applies to both boarding and day
pupils. If for special reason a pupil is entered for

86

General Information.

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 board-
ing pupil pays a physician's fee of I5.00 for the ses-
sion or any part of it. This fee secures the services of
a prominent Atlanta physician for the entire session,
except 171 cases of protracted and aggravated ilbiess.
This arrangement is made entirely in the interest
of our patrons. The Institute 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 attendance of the physician for the
sessioti is secured for an amount charged by an At-
lanta physician for a single visit to Decatur.

No deductions for a7ty cause will be allowed pu-
pils withdrawing after the middle of the second
term.

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

DISCOUNTS.

When two or more boarding pupils 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
lyiterary Department, including heat, light, physi-
cal culture, for school year, $180.00.

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

87

General Information.

To ministers regularly engaged in their calling,
who send their daughters as day pupils, a discount
of ten per cent, will be given on tuition in Literary
Department. Branches under the head Special at
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 day pupils for ab-
sence from any cause except sickness, and that only
whe7i it causes absence for as long as one ')nonth.

Parents must not expect to send daughters and pay
only for time in actual attendance. No pupil 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 parents 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
them during the session to spend a week or so at
home. PARENTS ARE ALSO REQUESTED
NOT TO WITHDRAW THEIR DAUGHTERS
UNTIL AFTER COMMENCEMENT, EXCEPT

88

General Information.

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, and they ap-
ply alike to every inmate of the school.

Parents are requested to consult with the Presi-
dent or Lady Principal before excusing their daugh-
ters 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 abundanti^y 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 de-
feating all the ends for which they have
been sent to school.

Frequent visiting has been found to seriously in-
terfere with the work of pupils, therefore they are
permitted to visit only on holidays with the written
permission of their parents, and even then the mat-
ter must be subject to the discretion of the Lady
Principal.

Pupils are not allowed to receive callers on the
Sabbath.

Visitors will not be received during school or
study hours: 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., and 7 p.m. to

9 P.M.

Young gentlemen are not received unless they

General Information.

bring letters of introduction from parents or guar-
dians to the President or Lady Principal, and then
only at their discretion.

Parents are expected to furnish lists of persons
with whom they wish their daughters to correspond.

Money for books, music and incidental

EXPENSES CAN NOT BE ADVANCED. A deposit of

ten or fifteen dollars should be made at the beginning
of each term, an itemized statement of the expendi-
ture of which will be rendered. Heretofore the In-
stitute has been running an account for books and
stationery with parents of boarding pupils. This
will be discontinued in the future, and they must
pay cash for what they get in these lines.

Books, sheet music, art materials, etc., will be
supplied at actual cost only to boarding pupils ; day
pupils are convenient to the book stores, and must
supply themselves.

Dentistry should be attended to before leaving
for school.

Punctuality is indispensable to progress. If pos-
sible have your daughter present on the first day of
school.

For repeated violations of the rules, parents will
be requested to take their daughters home.

The proper address for telegrams and letters is in
care of Agnes Scott Institute, Decatur, Ga.

All letters on business concerning the admission
or dismission of pupils, concerning any of the de-
partments of instruction, concerning the general
management and conduct of the institution, or ap-
plication for catalogues, should be addressed to the
President.

Remittances of money should be by post-office
90

General Information^

order, registered letter, New York draft, or express,
to the President, Decatur, Ga.,or payments may be
made to him in person. If by local check add
twenty-five cents to pay exchange.

Letters concerning the pupils personally, prog-
ress in their studies, health, rooms, room-mates,
etc., should be addressed to the Lady Principal.

Needs of the Institute.

Needs of the Institute*

The Institute was founded for a great purpose :
The Glory of God in the Higher Christiafi 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
this institution is to meet this demand, and most
fully and successfully accomplish the great purpose
for which it was founded, it yet has great needs.

Some of these are :

1. An Additional Building. There is now
urgent need for a new building which would supply
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 $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, he presented the needs
and claims of the Institute. The Synod indorsed
the movement by a rising unanimous vote, and the
members present at once subscribed $3,200 to the

104

Needs of the Institute*

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 ear-
nestly 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 speed-
ily make Agnes Scott the equal of the best colleges
for women in the United States.

3. ScHOivARSHiPS. We often have applications
from worthy young women for aid in securing an
education. While we are always glad to do what
v/e 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 President.

Form of Bequest or Devise,

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

"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.

105

Needs of the Institute,

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
four successive years a day pupil has been maintained
in school by the Alumnae, and over four hundred
dollars have been collected by them toward the
establishment of a permanent scholarship fund. By
securing small contributions from a great number,
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 re-
ceived, sacredly guarded, and faithfully used.

Any money for this cause will be received and
receipted for by the President of the Institution.

Organization of the Association.

President Miss Lucile Alexander.
Secretary Miss IMary Barnett,
Treasurer Miss Annie Gash.
