Graduates of the accredited high schools are admitted with- out examination, provided extrance 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. 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. Of the fifteen units which the applicant must offer, eight are pre- scribed. The remaining seven are to be selected from the list of elec- tive units given below.

Last year, the following were chosen: Sue Hastey '39 Margaret Hall '40 Shirley Barton '40 Sara Frances Gibson '40 THE STUDENT'S HANDBOOK The Student's Handbook is issued by the Student Govern- ment Association.

A. room on the first floor of the Oreon Smith Building. LaGrange College 37 partial list of guest speakers of the y. w. c. a. Rev. M. M.

THE CURTAIN RAISERS The college dramatic organization, The Curtain Raisers, sponsors all production done by the Speech Department. It is made up of students in the department of Speech, other students in college who qualify for membership, and young men in the vicinity who are admitted by application and try-out. A new member is first admitted to the Studio Theatre Group, and after creditable work has been done he is eligible for participation in major production. 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. 38 LaGrange College THE ART CLUB The Art Club is for the purpose of developing art apprecia- tion through the study of masters and their works and by discussions regarding art and cognate subjects. The club is composed of the students in the Art department and meets once 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. THE CAMERA CLUB The Camera Club has those students banded together who are interested in picture-making and picture-taking. They utilize a well-equipped darkroom and inspirational programs, such as an exhibit of all those snapshots that received newspaper awards last year. 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. HONOR CLUBS 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. In 1939 the Fine Arts Honor Club and the Secretarial Sci- ence Honor Club were established to give recognition to students LaGrange College 39 of outstanding ability in music, art, speech, or secretarial sci- ence. The conditions for eligibility are similar to those for membership in the Honor Club. Election to one of these clubs is the highest distinction that can be conferred upon a student. The names of those who qualified for membership in the Honor Club at the end of year 1938-1939 are given below: Shirley Barton.

Even at that early date, however, LaGrange Female Academy was an institution of high grade. In 1 847" 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 1851 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- tian 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 approve*! Dec. 17, 1847, pp. 120-121. 3 Acts Georgia Legislature approved Dec. 26, 1851, p. 312. 44 LaGrange College 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 bus- iness 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, 1034. LaGrange Colli 45 ica, and I have not seen LaGrange equaled for beauty and adaptation." BUILDINGS AND EQUIPMENT The principal buildings of LaGrange College are the Dobbs Auditorium, the Oreon Smith Memorial, and the Harriet Hawkes Memorial. The Dobbs 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 46 LaGrange College 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. HIGHLAND COUNTRY CLUB Every resident student is given the privilege of associate mem- bership in the Highland Country Club with access to golf course, tennis courts, and swimming pools. 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 Department 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.

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 cordially invited to return to the College for that meeting. Please send to the College any alumnae news or changes in address. LaGrange College 51 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. By request of parents, permission will be given to visit stu- dents living outside of LaGrange during the spring holidays and Christmas holidays. 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 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. FURNITURE The College supplies the students' rooms with heavy furni- ture. Each student is expected to furnish her own towels, pillow, sheets, blankets, spreads for single beds, and any other articles desired for use in her room. Students must not bring electric irons; these are furnished by the College. 52 LaGrange 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 expected to conform to the dormitory regulations.

Piano for practice 1 Yi hours daily $ 5.00 Organ for practice 1 Yi 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 LaGrange College 55 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. NOTES REGARDING EXPENSES Checks should be made payable to LaGrange College. Students are not allowed to register until satisfactory financial arrangements are made. No deductions 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 except 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. 56 LaGrange College 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 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 Scholarships to the value of one hundred dollars in the Boarding Department for one year to the honor graduates of accredited high schools. 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. LaGrange College 5 7 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 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. STUDENT-AID Student-aid positions are available to students whose academic standing indicates their ability to carry the extra load of work. 58 LaGrange College GRADUATES, 1939 BACHELOR OF ARTS Anne Harrison Bellinger Atlanta, Ga.

GIRLS' CREED Life is mine to live. That I may cherish it And right loyally meet its responsibilities, I would lay aside that which is Narrow, selfish, ignoble and unkind, The false, superficial, the dishonest, I would shun in thought, word and deed. Rather may I cultivate in my college life Those traits and ideals that will fit me To weave dreams into realities, and impres- sions into character. To meet bravely the hard tasks of life; To bring joy to those who sorrow, and Strength to those who falter in their tasks. I would strive to judge more kindly, Trust more fully, and love more deeply, That my life may reflect His goodness, And my soul may grow in the knowledge Of Him, whom to know is Life Eternal. ^CaCirattge (College ^ppltcattnn for JVbnrisstmt In September, 19 (To Be Filled In By Student) Name of student in full ... ..
