GENERAL INFORMATION 
HISTORY 

At the time of the founding of LaGrange College in 1831', 
there were few institutions in the world devoted solely to the 
higher education of women. Even at that early date, however, 
LaGrange Female Academy was an institution of high grade. 

In 1847^ the charter was amended by the Legislature of 
Georgia, changing the name to LaGrange Female Institute, with 
all the rights of "conferring degrees, honors, and other distinc- 
tions of merit." 

In 185r the charter was again amended, changing the name 
to LaGrange Female College. 

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. In the ensuing years it has received patron- 
age from every section of the South. 

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 Wes- 
leyan Female College, was an honored graduate. When well 
established in a career of ever-increasing usefulness, its work 
was arrested by a most disastrous fire on the 28th of March, 
1860. The college property at that time consisted of a mag- 
nificent building, ample chemical apparatus, a complete equip- 
ment of costly musical instruments, a large and well-selected 
library, and the best dormitory furnishings in the State. It 
was said by one of the historians of Georgia that a small for- 
tune was at that time consumed in the way of fine old mahog- 
any and black walnut furniture. But fire was not to destroy this 
institution which had been dedicated to the advancement of 
Southern women. The friends of the college  especially the 
generous-hearted citizens of LaGrange and Troup County

rallied to the institution dear to their hearts. The Civil War 
again interrupted, and for four years the old college stood an 
appealing monument on the lofty hill that overlooked the des- 
olated streets of the beautiful town of LaGrange. At the close 
of the war, its friends, with loyal perseverance and indomitable 
energy, succeeded in rebuilding, and the college started on a long 
and successful career. Since that time, under the presidency of 
some of the most prominent lay and clerical members of the 
M. E. Church, South, the college has sent forth from its halls 
hundreds of scholarly women who have occupied prominent 
positions in the various walks of life. 

PURPOSE 

LaGrange College strives to provide for its students an atmos- 
phere permeated with the friendliness of congenial companions 
and enriched by association with sympathetic teachers; to bring 
them into contact with a type of scholarship which will arouse 
in them a desire for the culture which such scholarship imparts; 
to develop in them the highest and noblest impulses of Chris- 
tian womanhood, that they may become teachers of all that is 
beautiful in nature, best in books, and highest in character. 

LOCATION 

LaGrange College is located in the City of LaGrange, Troup 
County, Georgia. LaGrange is seventy-one miles from Atlanta, 
on the Atlanta and West Point Railroad, one hundred and five 
miles from Macon, and about half-way between Brunswick and 
Birmingham on the Atlanta, Birmingham and Coast Railroad. 

The College is situated on a hill, one-half mile from the busi- 
ness 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 traveled extensively in Europe and Amer- 
ica, and I have not seen LaGrange equaled for beauty and 
adaptation."

BUILDINGS AND EQUIPMENT 

The principal buildings of LaGrange College are the Audito- 
rium, the Oreon Smith Memorial and the Harriet Hawkes Me- 
morial. The Auditorium Building is three stories high. It con- 
tains the Department of Music, the Art Studios, the Science De- 
partment, the Auditorium, and various classrooms. 

The Oreon Smith Building contains Hardwick Hall, used for 
evening prayer, literary societies, student meetings, and Y. W. 
C. A. services; the college parlors, the social rooms, the Y. W. 
C. A. room, the dining hall, the infirmary, the post office, 
bookshop, and offices of the President, the Dean and Registrar, 
and the Secretary, on the lower floors. The entire upper floor 
is used for dormitory purposes. 

The Harriet Hawkes Building was completed in 1911. It 
contains the gymnasium, the library and reading room, and 
classrooms. The upper floors contain dormitory rooms, fitted 
with single beds and all equipment for two students each. The 
floors all have broad verandas. All buildings are electric lighted 
and steam heated. 

THE PRESIDENT'S HOME 

Through the generosity of Dr. S. C. Dobbs and family, there 
was built during the summer of 1929, a handsome brick bunga- 
low to be used as a home for the president of the college. This 
convenient and comfortable home, located on the northwest side 
of the campus a short distance from the administration building, 
was erected by the donors in honor of their distinguished kins- 
man, the senior Bishop of our church. A memorial tablet bears 
the following inscription:  

Warren A. Candler Cottage 

Erected in Honor of 

A Profound Thinker 

A Great Teacher 

A Noble Christian Statesman 

GYMNASIUM AND ATHLETIC GROUNDS 

The gymnasium is located on the first floor of the Harriet 
Hawkes Building. 



LaGrange College 1 3 

To the rear of the gymnasium there is an athletic field, where 
provision has been made for tennis, basket-ball, team and track 
work, and baseball. 

LIBRARY 

The Library contains about nine thousand volumes which 
represent carefully selected reference books for the different de- 
partments of the College. 

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 

The Departments of Physics, Chemistry, and Biology are 
each thoroughly equipped with apparatus and supplies for in- 
dividual work. 

The Chemistry Laboratory is large, well lighted and airy, 
with supplies for a large number of students. 

The Physical Laboratory is well equipped with high-grade 
apparatus for accurate work. 

The Biology Laboratory is supplied with excellent micro- 
scopes, slides, and specimens. 

LECTURES AND ENTERTAINMENTS 

In addition to the frequent recitals given by members of the 
faculty and students of the special departments provision is 
made for the students to attend lectures and concerts giVen by 
prominent artists and lecturers under the auspices of the college.

STUDENT ACTIVITIES 
THE SCROLL 

The Scroll, originally begun in January, 1922 as a newspa- 
per, was changed at the beginning of the 1 933-' 34 school year 
to a literary magazine. The purpose of the scroll is to foster 
interest in literary activity among the students and to provide 
a medium for the expression of this interest. 

THE STUDENTS' HANDBOOK 

The Students' Handbook is issued by the Student Govern- 
ment Association. This is a manual of the student life of the 
College and a guide to daily conduct. 

THE QUADRANGLE 

The Quadrangle is the College annual issued near the close of 
the scholastic year. 

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 re- 
ligious 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. There is an attractive Y. W. 
C. A. room on the first floor of the Oreon Smith Building. 

SCIENCE CLUB 

The Phi Beta Chi is an honorary society composed of high 
average students from the Physics, Biology and Chemistry 
classes. The purpose of this society is to acquaint the student 
of one branch of science with the other branches by first hand 
information from our local resources. There are three chapters 
of the Phi Beta Chi Society: first, the Apprentices, who are the 
beginners; second, the Journeymen, who are striving to be mem- 
bers of the last chapter, the Science Guild. 



LaGrange College 1 5 



ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION 



An Athletic Association, composed of the members of the 
student body, under the supervision of the physical 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 participation 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 is for the purpose of studying plays^ 
ranging from Shakespeare to m,odern comedies. Public perform^ 
ances are given at intervals throughout the year. 

THE QUILL DRIVERS' CLUB 

The Quill Drivers' Club is composed of students who have 
done outstanding work on the Scroll. Membership is intended 
as an honor and an incentive to further activity along literary 
lines. 

LE CERCLE FRANCAIS 

Le Cercle Francais is an honorary society, the membership of 
which is made up of the best students of the different classes in 
French. French is the language of the monthly meetings, and an 
opportunity is thus given to develop a knowledge of practical 
French outside of the classroom. 

THE ORCHESTRA AND GLEE CLUB 

The Orchestra and Glee Club give public performances at the 
recitals of the College. 

THE ENGLISH CLUB 

The English Club is composed of those Juniors and Seniors 
who have English as a major or a minor subject. In the spring 
term, it is open to the best students of the class in English lit- 
erature. The purpose of the club, which meets five or six times 
during the year, is to consider various phases of the literature of 
the South. 



1 6 LaGrange College 

the art club 

The Art Club is for the purpose of developing art apprecia- 
tion through the study of the masters and their works and by- 
discussions regarding art and cognate subjects. The club is com- 
posed of the students in the Art department and meets once a 
month. 

THE LATIN CLUB 

Societas Minervae is open to all students taking advanced 
courses in the Latin department. The club endeavors to supple- 
ment the work of the classroom and to awaken in its members 
a keen and stimulating interest in ancient civilization. The 
monthly meetings deal with live discussions and projects from 
Roman life. 

THE INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS CLUB 

The International Relations Club is made up of those stu- 
dents making History their major or minor subject. It has for 
its main purpose the study of international relationships. The 
programs include not only round-table discussions, but formal 
debates and lectures. 

HONOR CLUB 

In January, 1924, the Faculty recommended that an Honor 
Club be established. Eligibility to this club is conditioned upon 
the literary hours taken and the character and academic standing 
of the student. Members are elected each year from a list of 
names submitted to the Faculty for consideration. Election to 
the Honor Club is the highest distinction that can be conferred 
upon a student. 

STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION 

The Student Government Association, based on powers and 
laws granted it by the president and faculty, has control of all 
matters pertaining to the conduct and social life of the students. 
The life and work of the College is based on the honor system, 
and this system applies not only to the rules and regulations 



LaGrange College 1 7 

concerning conduct, but to midyear and final examinations, 
monthly and weekly tests, and to all written work, such as note- 
books and themes. 

Upon entrance each student is furnished with the Students' 
Handbook, so that she may familiarize herself with the rules of 
the Student Government Association.

ALUMNAE AND MATRICULATES' ASSOCIATION 

The object of the Association is to preserve and quicken the 
interest of the alumnae and former students, to keep alive girl- 
hood friendships, and to create a helpful relationship toward 
the College. The highest purpose of this organization is to keep 
intelligently informed of the needs and welfare of the institution 
and to seek opportunity to express this interest by voluntary 
services for the College. 

At the reunion in 1921, all matriculates were made eligible to 
membership in this Association. The dues are one dollar per 
year. All alumnae and former students are invited to become 
actively identified with it. 

The general Association has given over five thousand volumes 
to the College library, over $2,000,00 in money for purchasing 
new books, given six scholarships to students, and has done 
much toward beautifying the College campus. 

It is earnestly desired that in every place where as many as 
five alumnae or former students may reside a local chapter of 
the Association shall be formed and so report to the President 
of the Alumnae and Matriculates' Association headquarters. 

The annual reunion is held during Commencement each year, 
and all are warmly invited to return to the College for that 
meeting. In order that special reunions may be arranged for 
those classes who were associated in college, our alumnae have 
adopted the "Dix schedule" of class reunions. In 1934 the fol- 
lowing groups of classes are scheduled to meet in reunion: 1889, 
1890, 1891, 1892 and 1908, 1909, 1910, 1911 and 1927, 
1928, 1929, 1930. These meetings are co-incident with the 
usual general reunions at Commencement when all who can are 
expected to return. 

Please send to the College any alumnae news or changes in 
address that may be found incorrect in the catalogue. 

For officers of the Association, see page 5. 



20 LaGrange College 

INFORMATION TO PROSPECTIVE PATRONS 

By enrollment with us, students pledge themselves to abide 
by the rules of the College. 

No student will be enrolled in any subject unless she presents 
a registration card properly filled out and duly signed. 

Parents desiring their daughters to come home or to visit 
elsewhere during the session must first send request to the Presi- 
dent. Such request must not be included in letter to the daugh- 
ter, but mailed directly to the President. Our experience has 
proved that visiting while in school is usually demoralizing. 

By request of parents, permission will be given to visit stu- 
dents living outside of LaGrange during the spring holidays and 
Christmas holidays. No student will be given permission to 
visit local students during holidays. 

Students who keep money in their roomis do so at their own 
risk. Provision is made for taking care of the spending money 
of students. 

Books, sheet music, and stationery are sold in the Bookshop 
for CASH. 

Students must pay for damages done to College property. 

Students are required to attend the church of which they are 
members. 

Students are not permitted to spend the night out in town, 
except with parents. 

The College accepts as day students only those who are resi- 
dents of LaGrange or who are living with a near relative. 

HEALTH 

Upon entrance, students are required to stand a medical ex- 
amination by the college physician. 

A close supervision is exercised over the health of boarding 
pupils. All cases of sickness are required to be reported immedi- 
ately to the nurse; in case of serious sickness, a physician is 
called. The perfect sanitary arrangement, good water, and ele- 
vation and freedom from malaria have prevented sickness to a 
degree unsurpassed by any similar institution in the state. 



LaGrange College 2 1 

FURNITURE 

The College supplies the students' rooms with heavy furni- 
ture. Each student is expected to furnish her own hot water 
bottle, towels, pillow, sheets, blankets, counterpanes for single 
beds, napkins and napkin ring (plainly marked) and any other 
articles desired for use in her room, as pictures, curtains, rugs, 
spoon, tumbler, knife, fork, etc. Students must not bring elec- 
tric irons; these are furnished by the College. 

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 invite a guest must consult 
the matron to know whether the guest room is available. Guests 
may be entertained only from Saturday afternoon until Mon- 
day morning. No charge is made parents and sisters of students. 
Payment is required for the entertainment of friends at the rate 
of one dollar and a half per day. All guests are expected to con- 
form to the dormitory regulations. 

LOAN FUNDS 

Students may be able to borrow from certain special funds 
of the College enough money to defray a large part of their ex- 
penses. This money loaned to a student begins to bear interest

ART 

Miss Watkins 

Art is a subject that is practical and necessary, as well as cultural. 
No one can escape from displaying taste or the lack of it. Students 
should become increasingly sensitive to the aesthetic elements of their 
surroundings, and it is the aim of this department to cultivate such 
sensitivity. A sense of the beautiful increases resistance to the strain 
of modern tension and adds to the inner reserve power. To know art 
is, as some one has aptly said: "To know history, biography, myth- 
ology, literature ; to feel religion and to respond to the gentle teaching 
of nature."

EXPRESSION 

Miss Singer 

This department aims to awaken and develop the innate powers of 
the individual student, and through training to bring voice and body 
into a spontaneous and sympathetic response to the conceptions of 
the mind and the emotions of the soul. 

The methods of the department are scientific; based on principles, 
not rules. The student is not "taught" expression, but is awakened to 
a sincere and natural expression of her own soul through a sympa- 
thetic voice and responsive body. 

Vocal Expression.  Attention, observation, discrimination, logical 
relation of ideas; these form the mental impressions which must 
precede the vocal expression. 

Vocal Training.  Diaphragmatic breathing, voice placement, voice 
control, flexibility of voice; strengthening of the individual mental 
impressions and establishing a co-ordination between these and an 
adaptable voice. 
To this end is stressed the interpretation of good literature, lyric, 

epic, and dramatic poetry, and prose impersonation. 

Pantomimic Training.  Special exercises for normal adjustment and 
physical response. The agents of the body are not "taught" to act, 
but are awakened to a harmonious response. 

Expression 1 3 hrs.

normal credit for a year's work is two hours. Students who do not 
make normal progress will not receive full credit; exceptional stu- 
dents may cover more than a year's work in one year and receive 
more credit. She will receive credit for work in theory and history of 
music on the basis of one hour of credit for each hour of recitation 
work. No credit is allowed for ''zero" courses. 

PHYSICAL EDUCATION 

Miss Singer 

It has long been an accepted fact that mental states are directly 
influenced by one's physical condition. Hence, an educational institu- 
tion can not furnish efficient, systematic, development for the mem- 
bers of its student body unless it makes adequate provision for physi- 
cal training and the study of personal hygiene. There is an acknow- 
ledged tendency on the part of many young women to take too little 
exercise. Round shoulders are all too prevalent. Lowered muscular 
tone and control of the nervous system are danger signals of impend- 
ing ills and disorder. Accordingly, the purpose of this department is 
to acquire by systematic exercise the co-ordination of the mind and 



LaGrange College 43 

body, and to overcome by corrective gymnastics any physical defec- 
tive conditions of the body. 

Two hours a week is required of every student, unless she is pro- 
nounced physically unfit by the examining physicians. 

Two year's work in Physical Education is counted as one college 
hour. 

Each student must be supplied with several white middy blouses, a 
pair of black shorts or bloomers and white tennis slippers for gym- 
nasium work. 

SECRETARIAL COURSE 

Miss Shepard 

This course has been organized for the purpose of preparing stu- 
dents who are candidates for degrees to meet the requirements for 
executive and professional secretaries. It is open to Juniors and 
Seniors only. Every facility is provided for students under competent 
instruction to equip themselves to meet the exacting demands of ex- 
ecutives for thoroughness, reliability and initiative. 

This course requires two years for completion. No college credit is 
given. A special certificate is given for satisfactory completion of the 
course. 

It is suggested to Freshmen and Sophomores who plan taking this 
course that they complete as many credits as possible before their 
Junior year.

EXTRA STUDENT EXPENSES 

While wc have listed in the above schedules every item of 
necessary expense, there are some items, the aggregate of which 
is small  such as literary society and student association dues  
which, though not absolutely necessary, are advisable. A young 
woman is sent away to college to be educated, not only in books, 
but for life, and she should be taught to give systematically to 
the church, Sunday school, and other organizations, in order 
that she may return to her community with convictions as to 
her individual duty. 

We suggest to parents the advisability of requiring their 
daughters to keep an itemized account of personal expenditures. 
Young women should be taught the golden mean between ex- 
travagance and too rigid economy. 

The habitual indulgence in confectionery and soft drinks is 
not only expensive, but is frequently injurious to health. 

NOTES REGARDING EXPENSES 

Checks should be made payable to LaGrange College. 

One hundred eighty-five dollars must be paid upon entrance 
in September. 

Students are not allowed to register until satisfactory Rnan- 
cial arrangements are made. 

No reductions will be made for pupils who enter within one 
month after the semester opens. 

No student will be received for less than a semester, except by 
special agreement. 

No discount will be allowed for absence from any cause ex- 
cept sickness, and that only when the absence is for as long a 
period as ONE MONTH. 

In the event of withdrawal on account of sickness, the amount 
paid for board in advance of date of leaving will be refunded 
but not the amount paid for tuition. 

No deduction will be made for the holidays. Students not re- 
turning after Christmas will be charged to the end of the 
semester. 

Written permission must be sent by the parents or guardian, 



LaGrange College 47 

directly through the mails, addressed to the Registrar, and not 
to the student, before any subject may be dropped. 

All dues must be settled in cash before students can receive 
diplomas or transcript of credits. 

Students are entitled to the first transcript of their records free 
of charge. For other transcripts a fee of one dollar will be 
charged. 

A deposit of fifteen dollars must be made in the Bookshop 
at the opening of the term, for the purchase of books. No ac- 
counts are open on our books for charges in the Bookshop; 
books, stationery, and art materials are sold for CASH only. 

The college will be closed for the Christmas holidays. 

DISCOUNTS 

When two or more boarding students are entered from the 
same family, a discount for board and literary tuition will be 
allowed, provided payment is made in advance, and provided 
both sisters remain the whole semester. 

A discount of $125.00 will be made to ministers regularly 
engaged in their calling who enter their daughters as boarding 
students. All "Specials" are charged at the regular rates. 

To ministers regularly engaged in their calling who send 
their daughters as day students is given a discount of one-half 
the literary tuition. Branches under the head of "Specials" are 
charged for at the regular rates. 

SCHOLARSHIPS 

The Board of Trustees authorizes the President to offer 
scholarships to the value of one hundred dollars in the Board- 
ing Department for one year to the first honor graduates of 
accredited high schools. 

Students holding college scholarships or student self-help 
positions will not be given further discounts in that year.
