Even at that early date, however, LaGrange Female Academy was an institution of high grade. In 1847 2 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 dis- tinctions of merit." In 1 85 l 3 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 Chris- tion education. In the ensuing years it has received patronage 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 fortune was at that time consumed in the way of fine old mahogany and black walnut furniture. But fire was not to destroy this in- stitution which had been dedicated to the advancement of South- ern women. The friends of the college especially the generous- hearted citizens of LaGrange and Troup County rallied to 'Acts Georgia Legislature approved Dec. 26, 1831, p. 4. 2 Acts Georgia Legislature approved Dec. 17, 1847, pp. 120-121. 3 Acts Georgia Legislature approved Dec. 26, 1851, p. 312. LaGrange College 1 1 the institution dear to their hearts. The Civil War again in- terrupted, and for four years the old college stood an appealing monument on the lofty hill that overlooked the desolate streets of the beautiful town of LaGrange. At the close of the war, its friends, with loyal perseverence 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. In 1934 the charter was made perpetual and the name was changed to LaGrange College. 1 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- Superior Court, Troup County, August 6, 1934. 12 LaGrange College 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 contains the Department of Music, the Art and Speech Studios, the Science Department, the Auditorium, and various class- rooms. 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 LaGrange College 13 GYMNASIUM AND ATHLETIC GROUNDS The gymnasium is located on the first floor of the Harriet Hawkes Building. To the rear of the gymnasium there is an athletic field, where provision has been made for tennis, soccer, team and track work, and baseball. LIBRARY The library contains about ten thousand volumes which rep- resent carefully selected reference books for the different depart- ments 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 individual work. The chemistry laboratory is large, well lighted, and airy, with supplies for a large number of students. The physics 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. 14 LaGrange College STUDENT ACTIVITIES THE SCROLL The Scroll, originally begun in January, 1922, as a news- paper, was changed at the beginning of the 1933-'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 STUDENT'S HANDBOOK The Student's Handbook is issued by the Student Government 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. 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. LaGrange College 15 DRAMATIC CLUB The Dramatic Club is for the purpose of studying plays, ranging from Shakespeare to modern comedies. Public per- formances 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 as an incentive to creative writing. THE GLEE CLUB The Glee Club gives annual concerts at Christmas and in the spring, besides taking part in the major anniversaries of the school year. THE ART CLUB The Art Club is for the purpose of developing art apprecia- tion through the study of masters and their works. The club is composed of students interested in art and meets twice a month. 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. 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 concerning conduct, but to midyear and final examinations, monthly and weekly tests, and to all written work, such as note- books and themes. 16 LaGrange College Upon entrance each student is furnished with the Student's Handbook, so that she may familiarize herself with the rules of the Student Government Association. 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 stand- ing 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 con- ferred upon a student. The names of those who qualified for membership in the year 1936-1937 are given below: Adrienne Ayers, '38; Shirley Barton, '40; Martha Bond, '37; Sara Frances Gibson, '40; Sue Hasty, '39; Betty Kiker, '37; Mary Moreman, '40; Frances Stewart, '37; Lollie Traylor, '39; Betty Watson, '38.

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, several 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 alumna? have adopted the "Dix schedule" of class reunions. In 1938 the fol- lowing groups of classes are scheduled to meet in reunion: 1886, 1887, 1888, 1889 and 1905, 1906, 1907, 1908 and 1924, 1925, 1926, 1927. 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 alumna? news or changes in address that may be found incorrect in the catalogue. For officers of the Association, see page 5. LaGrange College 19 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 president. Such request must not be included in letter to the daughter, 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. Students who keep money in their rooms 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 arc resi- dents of LaGrange or who are living with a near relative. HEALTH Upon entrance, students arc 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 imme- diately to the nurse; in case of serious sickness, a physician is called. The perfect sanitary arrangement, good water, and elevation and freedom from malaria have prevented sickness to a degree unsurpassed by any similar institution in the state. 20 LaGrange College furniture The College supplies the students' rooms with heavy fur- niture. Each student is expected to furnish her own towels, pillow, sheets, blankets, spreads 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 electric 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 Monday 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 ex- pected to conform 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 expenses. This money loaned to a student begins to bear interest at six per cent at the end of the year in which it was used. Mr. William S. Witham, of the Board of Trustees, donated to the College the sum of $10,000.00 (which has increased to over $28,000.00), to be lent to dependent girls. Mrs. J. C. Davidson, of West Point, Ga., 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 se- cured 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. LaGrange College 21 BUREAU OF APPOINTMENTS The College, through the faculty, assists the graduates who wish to teach in finding positions. This service is rendered without charge. REPORTS Formal reports, based upon semi-annual and final examina- tions, together with the daily records of work, will be issued after the end of the first term and after commencement. Upon these the system of credits for work is based. ADMISSION OF STUDENTS Students may be admitted by certificate or by examination. Graduates of the accredited high schools are admitted with- out examination, provided entrance requirements are satisfied. Students from other than accredited schools are examined at entrance. All students entering the College must present fifteen entrance units, whether or not they expect to take the full amount of work leading to a degree. CERTIFICATES OF ENTRANCE Every student who enters for music, art, literary work, or other course is expected to present a certificate from the last school attended, covering her work. This rule may be abated for students in speech, music, or art only, who do not enter the college dormitory and are not seeking any certificate. Students should secure from the College the blank certificate to be filled out and signed by the principal of the school they are attending. This should be sent in before the summer va- cation. Candidates will find it much easier to attend to this before their schools close for the summer. STATE CERTIFICATION A student who receives the Bachelor's degree and who has also completed courses in education in accordance with State re- 22 LaGrange College requirements will upon application be given a certificate by the State Board of Education. This certificate entitles the holder to teach in the public schools of Georgia. REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION For Entrance into Freshman Class. The applicant must offer sub- jects amounting to fifteen units. The units assigned to the subject indicate the number of years, with five recitations (of not less than forty minutes in length) per week that is, the total amount of time devoted to the subject throughout the year should be at least 120 "sixty-minute" hours.

Credit for work in theory and history of music is on the basis of one hour of credit for each hour of recitation work. No credit is allowed for "zero" courses. PHYSICAL EDUCATION Miss Kinsland Each boarding student, upon entrance, is given a physical examina- tion. This examination is given by the college physician and the Department of Physical Education. The findings of these examina- tions furnish the basis for the selection of the student's physical ac- tivity. The whole program of physical education has been arranged to provide for the needs of all students rather than for those of a particular group. Physical Education 1. Introductory Course in Physical Educations and Health Activities. An orientation course in physical education activities, introducing the student to marching tactics, formal gymnastics, group games, and some outdoor sports. Physical Education 2. Folk Games. Folk games and national dances with outdoor sports. 42 LaGrange College Physical Education 3. Outdoor Games. A mastery of technique of games. Volleyball fall. Speedball winter. Soccer fall and winter. Baseball spring. Physical Education 4. Tennis. Instruction in the technique of tennis. Open to students on special application. Physical Education 5. Swimming. Swimming privilege open to all students. Instruction given on special application. Physical Education 6. Track and Field. Course covers various track and field events included in the pro- gram of the semi-annual inter-class field days. Physical Education 7. Corrective Gymnastics. This course is required instead of regular work when the physical condition of the student manifests a need for it. Physical Education 8. Individual Physical Education* This course is required of those students physically unfit for regu- lar physical education. The work is adjusted to fit the particular need of the student. Two hours' work in physical education is required of every board- ing student. Two hours' work in physical education is counted as one college hour. Each student must be supplied with white blouses, black shirts, and tennis shoes for physical education work.

Piano for practice V/i hours daily $10.00 Diploma in any department 5.00 EXTRA STUDENT EXPENSES While we 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- LaGrange College 45 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 should be paid upon entrance in September. Students are not allowed to register until satisfactory finan- 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 arrangement. 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 returning after Christmas will be charged to the end of the semester. Written permission must be sent by the parents or guardian, 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 46 LaGrange College accounts 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 schol- arships to the value of one hundred dollars in the Boarding Department for one year to the first honor graduates of ac- credited high schools. Students holding college scholarships or student self-help positions will not be given further discounts in that year.
