LaGRANGE COLLEGE HISTORY The history of LaGrange College is interesting. Instituted in 1833*, it was, even in its infancy, an academy of high grade. Its first teacher of note was the Reverend Thomas Stanley. At the time of its founding, there was not in all the world an institution devoted solely to the higher education of girls and young women. In the year 1846, under the Presidency of Mr. J. T. Mont- gomery, a charter was procured*, and LaGrange Institute became LaGrange Female College, with all the rights of conferring "degrees, honors, and other distinctions of merit"* accorded other colleges and universities. After several years of prosperity often two hundred and fifty girls being in attendance the entire property was sold to the Georgia Annual Conference of the M. E. Church, South. In September, 1857, the College began its distinctive work of Christian education, under the presidency of the Reverend W. C. Connor. In the ensuing years it received patronage from every section of the South. Under the presidency of the Reverend W. M. Harris, D.D., in 1859, it took precedence over all church schools in sending out the first resident graduate class in the South. Of this class, Mrs. Alice Culler Cobb, afterwards a successful teacher in Wesleyan Female College, was an honored graduate. The work of the College was arrested by a most disastrous fire in 1860. However, after the close of the Civil War, Reverend James R. Mason, through his perseverance and indomitable energy, succeeded in rebuilding, and the college started on a long and successful career. In 1885, Rufus "Wright Smith became President. During his administration, the property was nearly quadrupled in value, and its curriculum was advanced to that of a standard college. LOCATION LaGrange College is located in the City of LaGrange, Troup County, Georgia. LaGrange is seventy-one miles from White's Historical Collection of Georgia, pp. 651-2; LAWS OF GEORGIA, 1847, p. 120. 8 Atlanta on the Atlanta and "West Point Railroad, one hun- dred and five miles from Macon on the Macon and Bir- mingham, and about half-way between Brunswick and Bir- mingham on the Atlanta, Birmingham, and Atlantic Railway. The College is situated on a hill, one-half mile from the business portion of the town. The campus, which is twelve acres in extent, is 832 feet above the sea level, in a region on the upper side of Pine Mountain, with natural drainage in all directions. The extreme cold of the, higher mountains and the heat of the lower lands are both avoided. Mr. Sears, Agent of the Peabody Fund, said, "I have travelled exten- sively in Europe and America, and I have not seen La- Grange equalled for beauty and adaptation." BUILDINGS AND EQUIPMENT The principal buildings of LaGrange College are the Col- lege, the Oreon Smith Memorial, the Harriet Hawkes Me- morial. The College Building is three stories high. It con- tains the Department of Music, the Art Studios, the Science Department, the Department of Home Economics, the Audi- torium, and various class rooms. The Oreon Smith Building contains Hardwick Hall, used for Evening Prayer, the Literary Societies, Student Meet- ings, and Y. W. C. A. services ; the college parlors, the social rooms, the college offices, the Y. W. C. A. library, the dining hall, the infirmary, and the President's suite, on the lower floors. The entire upper floor is used for dormitory purposes. The Harriet Hawkes Building was completed in 1911. It is one of the finest college buildings in the South. It contains the Library and Reading Room, the Sales Room for books and stationery, and offices of the Dean, Registrar, and Phy- sical Director, and class rooms. The upper floor contains dormitory rooms, fitted with single beds and all equipments for two students each. The floors all have broad verandas. All buildings are electric lighted and steam heated. GYMNASIUM The first floor of the Harriet Hawkes Building is devoted to Physical Education. The Gymnasium is equipped with the best modern apparatus, and adjoins a swimming pool 9 which has a capacity of thirty thousand gallons. Adjacent to the pool are dressing rooms and shower baths, and every convenience of the best natatorium. ATHLETIC GROUNDS To the rear of the Gymnasium, there is an athletic field where provision has been made for tennis, basket-ball, croquet, and team and track work. A paved plaza affords a rink for skating. LIBRARY The Library contains about 2,500 volumes which represent carefully selected reference books for the different depart- ments of the College. There are special divisions for Eng- lish, Science, History, Mathematics, Pedagogy, Bible, Refer- ence, Fiction, and the Y. W. C. A. Religious Library. Reference work is aided by means of an efficient card catalogue system which furnishes an index to any volume or subjects that may be desired. Newspapers and magazines for general reading are kept on the tables, and the students are encouraged to keep in touch with present day events. LABORATORIES Three separate laboratories, well equipped for student work, are provided in the Departments of Physics, Chem- istry, and Biology. The Chemical Department is well supplied with chemicals and apparatus for individual work in the various branches of Chemistry. The Physical laboratory, accommodating twenty pupils at the same time, is well equipped with high-grade apparatus. The Biology Department is equipped with microscopes, microtomes, and needed appliances making and mounting sections, and making cultures. HOME ECONOMICS The Home Economics Department has been thoroughly re- organized and refurnished. Three large and well-lighted adjoining rooms are devoted to this work. All of these rooms are equipped according to the most modern ideas. 10 The Domestic Science Department occupies two of these rooms, one of which is used as a laboratory, and the other as a dining room. In the laboratory are to be found individ- ual sani-steel cooking desks, thoroughly fitted out with all necessary utensils. A gas range, as well as small gas stoves for each desk, has been installed. In addition to this, an oil stove is used, thereby making the work as practical as possible. The model dining room is very attractive and homelike. The third room with its sewing machines is used by the Domestic Art Class. l] STUDENT ACTIVITIES LITERARY SOCIETIES There the two literary societies, the Irenian, established during the early 70 's, and the Mezzofantian, established in 1887. They meet weekly, and have exercises consisting of readings, recitations, debates, essays, criticisms, music, prac- tice in parliamentary usage, etc. Secret societies are not allowed, as they tend toward ex- travagance and an exclusiveness which is based upon wrong principles. THE YOUNG WOMEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION The Young "Women's Christian Association is developing among the students a zeal for the cause of religion at home and abroad. Besides conducting weekly meetings for prayer and religious instruction, it promotes an intelligent interest in social and moral problems. Graduates of the College in both the Home and Foreign Mission fields are a compensating evidence of inspiration from this organization. A number of Bible and mission study classes are carried on under the direction of the faculty and more mature students. It has an attractive Library and Prayer Room on the second floor of the Or eon Smith Building. HISTORY CLUB The History Club is open to all students in the College. With the co-operation of the Head of the History Depart- ment, weekly meetings for the discussion of historical and economic questions, biography, and current events are held. Monthly open debates on present-day subjects add much interest and enthusiasm. ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION An Athletic Association, composed of the members of the student body under the supervision of the Phj-sical Director, has control of outdoor sports. It assists in equipping the outdoor courts and track, formulates the rules for eligibility in class and college contests, and constantly encourages par- 12 ticipation in all outdoor games, maintaining always a high code of honor and true sportsmanlike conduct in all forms of athletics. DRAMATIC CLUB The Dramatic Club meets each week for the purpose of studying plays, ranging from Shakespeare to modern comedies. Public performances are given at intervals throughout the year. Only members of the Expression Department are eligible. MODERN LANGUAGE CLUB The Modern Language Club meets weekly to promote in- terest in the respective language studied. Under the guid- ance of the Head of the Modern Language Department, cur- rent literature is studied, the language is spoken, and songs, readings, etc., given in the original. THE ORCHESTRA AND GLEE CLUB The Orchestra and Glee Club give public performances at the recitals of the College. BUREAU OF APPOINTMENTS The College, through the faculty, assists such graduates as wish to teach to find positions. This service is rendered without charge. 13 EXPENSES FOR 1916-17 Due in Advance Each Semester (Half of School Year) The following charges are for One Semester.

No student will be received for less than a semester, ex- cept by special agreement. No deduction will be made for absence during the first two weeks or for less than four weeks during the rest of the school year, except by special agreement. No student will be enrolled in any subject unless she presents a registration card properly filled out and duly signed. All charges must be paid or satisfactorily secured at the beginning of each semester. Checks should be made pay- able to Daisy Davies, President. All dues must be settled in cash before students can re- ceive certificates or diplomas. Parents desiring their daughters to come home or to visit elsewhere during the session should first communicate with the President. Our experience has proved that visit- ing while in school is usually demoralizing. Students are not allowed to send telegrams or telephone messages without special permission. We encourage our students to be economical, and we ask parents to co-operate with us in discourgaing needless ex- penditures. Students who keep money or jewelry in their rooms do so at their own risk. We can not be responsible for valuables unless they are deposited with us. Books, sheet music, and stationery are sold for CASH. Students are not allowed to charge purchases at La- Grange stores, except on written permission of parents or guardians, endorsed by the authorities of the College. Students must pay for damage done College property. They must observe the Sabbath and attend Sunday School and church. Students are not permitted to spend the night out in town, communicate with young men without permission of the President, leave the grounds without permission, borrow money, jewelry, or clothing from each other. 16 HEALTH A close supervision is exercised over the health of board- ing pupils. All cases of sickness are required to be reported immediately to the Matron ; in case of serious sickness a physician is called. The perfect sanitary arrangements, good water, and elevated country free from malaria have pre- vented sickness to a degree unsurpassed by any similar insti- tution in the State. UNIFORMS Parents are urged to co-operate with the administration in encouraging simple and inexpensive clothes. No strict uniform is demanded. Each student is required to have for street wear a simple blue suit, and a simple blue hat to match. For ordinary wear parents are requested to dress their daughters plainly. The Senior Class wear Oxford gowns in graduating exercises. FURNITURE The College supplies the students' rooms with heavy fur- niture. Each student is expected to furnish her own towels, sheets, blankets, counterpanes ; also napkins and napkin ring (plainly marked), and any other articles desired for her own room ; as, pictures, rugs, a spoon, tumbler, knife, fork, etc. GUESTS Patrons and friends of the College are always welcome to its hospitality. As all visitors are guests of the College and not of individuals, a student who wishes to have a guest must consult the Matron to know whether a guest room is available. Students can not entertain guests in their rooms. Any student who has a guest to remain longer than two days will be charged for entertainment. LOAN FUNDS Students may be able to borrow from certain special funds of the College enough money to defray a large part of their expenses. This money loaned to a student begins to bear interest at 6 per cent, at the end of the year in which it was used. Mr. AVilliam S. Witham, Second Vice-President of the Board of Trustees, donated to the College the sum of $10,- 17 000.00 (which has increased to over $24,000.00), to be loaned to poor or dependent girls. Mrs. J. C. Davidson, of West Point, Georgia, as a memorial to her husband, gave $1,000.00 to be used as a loan fund. Circulars of information concerning these funds can be secured from the President. The decision as to who will be accepted is vested entirely in a Committee of the Board of Trustees, to whom all applications will be referred. REPORTS Formal reports, based upon semi-annual and final exam- inations, together with the daily records of work, will be issued as soon as practical after the end of the First Semester and after Commencement. Upon these, the system of credits for finished work is based. The instructors will endeavor to help students make up work from which they were absent because of sickness. Un- necessary and unexcused absences seriously affect the stand- ing of students. ADMISSION OF STUDENTS Students may be admitted by certificate or by examination Graduates of the accredited High Schools are admitted without examination upon such courses as certificates show that they have satisfactorily completed. Students from other than accredited schools are examined at entrance. CERTIFICATES FOR ENTRANCE Every student who enters, for music, art, literary or other- wise, is expected to present a certificate from the last school attended, covering her work. This rule may be abated for students in music or art only, who do not enter the College Dormitory and are not seeking any certificate. Students should secure from their Principals the formal certificate usually sent out by the University of Georgia. This should be sent in before the summer vacation. Can- didates will find it much easier to attend to this before their schools close for the summer. If the work of a student who has been admitted by certi- ficate is found unsatisfactory, such student may be placed in a lower class or grade. 18 REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION 1.
