Agnes Scott Institute*
THE Agnes Scott Institute began its career
in a rented building September, 1889, under
the auspices of the Decatur Presbyterian
church. The following Spring, Colonel Geo. W.
Scott, an elder of the church, generously proposed
to give 140,000 to provide a permanent home for
the school. The Board of Trustees having grate-
fully accepted this offer. Colonel Scott began at once
to carry into execution his plans. He purchased
the beautiful lot upon which the Institute now
stands , containing about five and a half acres. After
a personal inspection of school buildings in the
North, he had erected under his own supervision
the present elegant structure. After completing it
he furnished it throughout in the best manner.
When he had finished what he had undertaken, he
had paid out $112,500, instead of the sum he had
originally proposed to give. For this splendid
property Colonel Scott delivered deeds to the Board
of Trustees, and it was dedicated to the cause of
the Christian education of young women November,
12, 1 89 1, in the presence of the Synod of Georgia.
In recognition of this great gift, the Board of Trus-
tees gave the institution the name of Colonel Scott's
sainted mother, Agnes Scott. Since his original
gift, he has added fully $8,000 in improvements,
making a permanent investment of $120,000.

LOCATION.
Decatur, the county site of DeKalb county, is a
town of some 2,000 inhabitants on the Georgia
Railroad, six miles east of the Union Depot, Atlanta.
All the conditions of healthfulness seem to be met
perfectly here : an elevation of i ,050 feet ; no
large streams or bodies of water near enough to
give dampness to the atmosphere ; fine freestone
water ; excellent drainage, and freedom from mala-
ria. There are Presbyterian, Methodist and Bap-
tist 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.
The society is educated and refined, and charac-
terized by an unusually high moral tone.
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 two electric lines with
twenty- and thirty-minute schedules. It thus is
made 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 among the musical attractions were
Thomas' orchestra and Paderewski. All things
considered, it would seem difiicultto find a location
combining more advantages for a great institution
of learning than this.

Agnes Scott Institute.
BUILDINGS.
The Main Building, completed and occupied for
the first time in the fall of 1 891, is a massive edi-
fice, simple in architecture, yet not lacking in im-
pressiveness.
It is constructed of brick, granite and marble ; is
one hundred and ninety-four feet long, fifty-four
feet wide, and four stories high exclusive of base-
ment. The laboratory, engine-room, electric light
plant, and kitchen are apart from the main building.
The entire building is heated and ventilated by
the indirect steam method, and lighted by electricity.
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, and the build-
ing is carpeted throughout. While luxury has not
been studied, every convenience necessary for health
and comfort has been supplied. In this respect few
homes in the country are more complete.
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.

Agnes Scott Institute*
OBJECT OF THE INSTITUTE,
The glory of God in the higher Christian Educa-
tion of young women. The founders of the insti-
tution believe that God in His Word has assigned
to woman a sphere, and given to her a work of in-
expressible importance to the welfare of church and
state. They also believe that to fit woman for
the greatest efficiency in her God-given sphere and
work, she needs the very best education — an educa-
tion which carefully guards and promotes her phys-
ical development ; which gives thorough mental
training and furnishing ; which gives that refine-
ment and those accomplishments which adorn
w^omanhood ; and which, above all^ forms and devel-
ops the highest type of character.
HOW IT IS PROPOSED TO ACCOMPLISH THIS
OBJECT :
1. By having a liberal curriculum.
2. By making the Bible Course a part of the cur-
riculum. It is confidently believed that the Bible
is essential to the higher education, and indispensa-
ble to the formation and development of the high-
est type of character.
3. By offering optional courses of study. Recog-
nizing the fact that minds, tastes and future plans
differ, the Institute offers two Courses, Classical-
Scientific and Literary, with electives to suit all.
4. By having the best teachers. The Board of
Trustees have endeavored to secure teachers who
possess the highest qualifications for teaching ; who
have had a successful experience in their profession ;
who possess the highest type of character ; who are
16
-.mm i-j^0
5t '.
&'
Agnes Scott Institute*
in full sympathy with the objects and plans^f the
school, and who will do all they can in and out of
the class-room to insure the largest success of the
institution.
5. By maintaining a high standard of scholar-
ship. The Institute endeavors to do honest, thor-
ough work. No student will be promoted from
one class to another, much less graduated, who does
not come up to the prescribed standard.
6. By making the Institute a delightful Christian
home, and filling it with refining, elevating and
edifying influences.
7. By making the religious features of the Insti-
tute such as are adapted to form and develop Chris-
tian Character.
The daily sessions are opened with religious ex-
ercises held in the chapel.
The Bible is a text-book, and the Bible Course
made necessary to graduation.
The Sabbath is considered the most important
day in the week for spiritual culture, and it is the
constant effort of the Faculty to make it the most
delightful and profitable.
A Sabbath-school is conducted by the resident
teachers in the Institute chapel, and all the board-
ing pupils are expected to attend.
AGNES SCOTT CHRISTIAN BAND,
made up of the boarding pupils and teachers, meets
every Sabbath evening. Its object is Christian
edification and usefulness. The exercises are con-
ducted by the members according to a program
previously arranged by the Devotional Committee.
19
Agnes Scott Institute*
Membership in the Band is entirely optional, but
nearly all the boarding pupils are members.
A weekly prayer-meeting, conducted by members
of the Christian Band, is also held every Thursday
afternoon.
All boarding pupils are required to attend church
at least once on Sabbath, when not providentially
hindered.
While the above are the means by which the au-
thorities of the Institute seek to accomplish the
great object they have in view, yet the fact is dis-
tinctly recognized that after all they are only 7neans^
and that success must come from God. As in the
past, so in the future, they will earnestly plan and
labor in humble reliance upon Him. .
ADMISSION.
All pupils are advised to pursue a regular course.
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 preparatory work.
A thorough study of the following subjects is
required as preparation for the Freshman class.
Mathematics.
{a) Arithmetic. — Fundamental Rules, Common
and Decimal Fractions, Compound Numbers, Per-
centage, the Metric System, Square and Cube Root.
{b) Algebra. — Through Quadratics.
Latin — Classical Course,
Tuell and Fowler's First I^atin Book or its equiv-
alent, and Gate to Csesar. After the session of 1900-
20
Agnes Scott Institute^
1 90 1, two books of Caesar will be required in addi-
tion to the above.
English.
(a) Grammar. — Reed and Kellogg's Higher IvCS-
sons in English or an equivalent.
(b) Rhetoric. — Lockwood's Lessons or an equiv-
alent. The pupil must be able to write a credita-
ble composition, correct in spelling, punctuation,
use of capitals, and grammatical form.
Science*
{a) Physical Geography . — Maury's or an equiv-
alent.
(b) Physiology. — BlaisdelPs Practical Physiology
or an equivalent.
History,
Elementary histories of Greece and Rome.
After considerable experience, it is deemed best
not to subject applicants for admission to the Fresh-
man class (or Academic classes) to a rigid entrance
examination.
Such examinations place pupils at a disadvant-
age, and are therefore not a true test. Hence, stu-
dents will be admitted on probation to the above
classes by certificates from accredited schools ; and
changes, if necessary, will be made after actual test
in daily recitations.
ADVANCED CLASSES.
Candidates for the higher classes will, however,
be examined on the subjects previously studied by
the classes they propose to enter.
SPECIAL STUDENTS.
special students are permitted to elect any study
for which they give evidence of sufficient prepara-
tion.
21
Course of Instruction.
COLLEGIATE DEPARTMENT.
This department is distributed into the follow-
ing schools, each constituting a complete course in
the subject taught :
1 . School of English.
2. School of Mathematics.
3. School of Physical and Biological Science.
4. School of the Bible.
5. School of History.
6. School of Philosophy.
7. School of Ancient Languages.
8. School of Modern Languages.
ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE.
Miss Lytle,
The aim of the English course is twofold, viz. :
to train pupils to write not only correctly, but also
clearly and impressively ; and to create in them a
desire to read and to know what is best in literature.
To gain the desired result in the former, pupils
are taught the principles which govern clear and
correct writing, and are frequently called upon to
put these principles into practice in essays upon
given subjects.
As the first step toward gaining the object of the
Literature course, the student is required to study
carefully the works of such authors as will interest
and give insight into the times of which they are
22
Course of Instruction*
representative. These masterpieces are carefully
discussed in class. As a second step toward this
object, at the end of each session a course of in-
structive and pleasant reading, outside of regular
class work, is assigned to each class, to be reported
upon by the end of the following session.

mar and Reader. If sufficient progress is made, the
class will study also Stopford Brooke's History of
Early English Literature.
{c) The Study of Poetry.
At this point the student is introduced to differ-
ent views as to the nature of poetry, especial atten-
tion being given to the opinions of such writers as
Emerson, Stedman, Coleridge, Carlyle and others.
These principles are then applied in a critical study
of the poetry of Wordsworth, Coleridge, Browning
and Shelley.
For a certificate in this school all of the work is
required ; for graduation^ years one, two and three,
and any one of the studies in the fourth year.
SCHOOL OF MATHEMATICS.
Miss Young*
The aim of this department is to cultivate habits
of clear and exact reasoning. Pupils are required
to be self-reliant and independent in their work.
Frequent written tests are given, and no pupil is
allowed to advance unless thoroughly prepared to
do so.

lution. Required of all candidates for graduation.
It is found necessary to emphasize the fact that
the preparation essential for this course is a good
knowledge of Arithmetic and of Algebra to Involu-
tion, special stress being laid upon Factoring.
The text-books used are Hall's Algebra and
Wentworth's Geometry.
Second Year*

SCHOOL OF PHYSICAL AND BIOLOGICAL
SCIENCES,
H. B. Arbucklc.
Miss Annie Gash.
A. — Chemistry.
I. Inorganic Chemistry. — This course consists
of lectures, recitations, and laboratory work in in-
organic 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 demonstrations, but all except the
most difficult ones must be repeated by the stu-
dents in the laboratory. From time to time stu-
dents will be called upon to execute certain experi-
27
Course of Instruction,
ments before the class, under the direction of the
instructor.
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 cul-
tivate correct habits of observation and manipula-
tion.
Recitations three hours per week throughout the
year ; laboratory work three hours per week.
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.
Students applying for admission to higher classes
must furnish evidence of systematic laboratory
work in chemistry, as it is the quality and not the
quantity of their work in chemistry that will be
considered. Laboratory books must, therefore, be
presented before the student is admitted to exami-
nation.
Text-books — Remsen's Briefer Course in Inor-
ganic Chemistry and Remsen's Organic Chemistry.
Books of Reference — Mendeleeff's Principles of
Chemistry and Remsen's Inorganic Chemistry.
2. {a) Organic Chkmistry. — This class meets
28
Course of Instruction^
twice a week througliout 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-book— Remsen's Organic Chemistry.
Books of Reference— Bernthsen's Organic Chem-
istry.
{d) Qualitative Analysis.— This course of-
fers students the opportunity of acquiring a practi-
cal knowledge of qualitative analysis. It is essen-
tially a laboratory course, seven hours per week
being required in the laboratory. This class recites
once a week.
Text-book— Odling's Practical Chemistry and
Muter's Analytical Chemistry.
Books of Reference — Vollhard.
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.
29
Course of Instruction^
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 gen-
eral experimentation, having a good stock of inor-
ganic and organic chemicals, convenient labora-
tory desks, and a complete assortment of the neces-
sar}^ 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
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 Physics.
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
30
Course of Instruction^
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 — Avery's Principles of Physics.
Books of Reference — Barker's Physics and
Ganot's Physics.
C. — Biology.
The Biological department is provided with very
fine compound microscopes, dissecting implements,
and sectioning and staining apparatus, and the stu-
dents are thus enabled to do a large amount of
practical work. There are four courses offered in
this department.
I. 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.
In connection w4th 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 plant, 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.
3^
Course of Instruction*
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's Biology — Part I, and Bergen's Elements
of Botany.
Books of Reference — Brook's Invertebrate Zo-
ology, Comstock's Manual for Study of Insects^
Gray's School and Field Botany, and Chapman's
Botany.
2. Structural 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. Animal Physiology. — This course is de-
signed to give the student a thorough knowledge
of the functions of life as demonstrated in man and
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.
32
Course of Instruction^
4. Animal Morphology. — This is a laboratory
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,
Brooks' Invertebrate Zoology, Quain's Osteology.
D. — Geology,
I. {a) Mineralogy and Crystallography are studied
from a practical standpoint, resort being had to
previously acquired chemical knowledge for identi-
fication of minerals ; {b) Petrography will embrace
a study of the origin, physical properties, distribu-
tion and classification of rock structures ; (c) Dy-
namical and Structural Geology will explain the
forces which have been at work and are now at
work in determining the form and structure of the
earth ; {d) Historical Geology and Paleontology
will be included in the course, and application will
be made of knowledge acquired in Zoology and
Botany to the interpretation of the animal and
plant life represented in the fossil remains of the
geological ages of the earth's history.
This class recites three hours a week.
Text-book — LeConte's Geolog}-.
Book of Reference — Dana's Mineralogy and
Geikie's Geology.
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
33
Course of Instruction^
300 choice specimens has been recently added to
this department, which will be of great value to
the geological students.
E. — Astfonomy.
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.
SCHOOL OF THE BIBLE,
Dr. Gaines.
This is a three years' course, beginning with
Sophomore year. It forms a necessary part of the
graduate courses.
Objects.
1. To give a clear knowledge of Biblical History.
The facts of this history not only form the basis of
our religion, but have determined 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 theoret-
ically considered the greatest book in existence, yet
34
Course of Instruction^
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 study is unsatisfactory for
the lack of the best method of study.
How the Course is Taught.
1. 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 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 orderly ar-
ranged. Then, as time permits, books and chap-
ters 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 :
First Year.
(Two hours a week )
I. From the Creation to the Kingdom ; Text-
books : The Bible ; Bible Course : Outline and
Notes (Gaines) ; Manual of Biblical Geography
(Hurlbut).

History.
SCHOOL OF HISTORY*
Miss Massie*
In this department effort is made to arouse in the
pupil enthusiasm and love for the study of History,
and to teach the best methods of pursuing it, not
only for its own sake, but also as an essential to
the intelligent pursuit of other branches. The
course for the first two years is carried on by means
of recitations, topical work, both written and oral,
maps, chronological tables and outlines. In the
third year, in addition to the above, parallel read-
ing is assigned and essays required at intervals.
A reading-room, well supplied with the best

Miss Mof row.
The first two years are given largely to the study
of forms and syntax and to their practical applica-
tion in translation and in prose composition. Sight-
reading and writing are insisted on, as this gives a
facility hard to acquire otherwise. Frequent ab-
stracts of translated passages are made, and the ge-
ography and history of the text studied. During
the last two years of the course, less time is given
to form and syntactical work and more to the spirit
and style of the writers. The translations are not
so literal as in the early part of the course, though
the use of good English is required in all the classes.
The Roman pronunciation is used. Students in
this department are required to take the course in
Roman History and Mythology given in the school

Course of Instruction*
the language is itself used in giving instruction.
This is more and more exclusively done as the
vocabulary of the pupils increases. Chief attention
is paid the first year to reading the language with
ease, and to acquiring a knowledge of the idiom.
Declension and conjugation forms are memorized.
The second year the aim is mostly translation
and composition. Declension and conjugation
forms are reviewed, and model sentences, embody-
ing difficult grammatical constructions, are memo-
rized. While committing vocabularies is not de-
pended upon entirely in securing command of the
language, it is used to the extent of learning the
vocabularies in the grammar.
The reading of the third year is combined with
a critical study of the language and its literature.
Throughout the course sight translation is a
prominent feature, and the material read in class is
made the basis of conversation.
Postgraduate Wofk»
Provision is made for postgraduate work in Ger-
man. During the fourth and fifth years of study,
attention is given to the Classics, as well as to the
works of the best modern German writers. The
nucleus for a German library has been donated by
Drysen and Pfeiffer, of New York City.

ACADEMIC DEPARTMENT.
The work in this department extends over four
years, and has been so arranged as to prepare
students for the graduate courses in the Collegiate
department. Too great importance cannot be at-
tached 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.
Only an outline of the work is given below. De-
tailed information will be given on application.
English. — Higher English Grammar, Element-
ary Rhetoric with composition work in class and
weekly themes.
In connection with this the pupil is required to
study masterpieces of English and American Liter-
ature.
Mathematics . — A thorough study of Arithmetic
with frequent drills in mental arithmetic and Con-
crete Geometry ; Elementary Algebra through
Quadratics.
Text-Books — Prince's Arithmetic by Grades
through No. 7 ; Hall's Algebra.
Latin. — Tuell and Fowler's First Latin Book ;
Gate to Caesar ; Tv/o books of Caesar.
History. — Elementary histories of Greece, Rome,
England, and the United States.
Geography. — Maury's Manual; Frye's Complete.
55
Course of Instruction,
Science. — Maury's Physical Geography ; Blais-
dell's Physiology.
Bible. — Foster's Story of the Bible ; Hurlbut's

ing to study china painting, tapestry, and other
lines of decorative painting.
Pastel and photo-crayon are also taught.
A sufficient knowledge of drawing will be re-

branches.
Instruction in free-hand drawing is given to the
pupils in the Preparatory Department without extra
charge ; also to students in Academic Department
for one hour a week during one session.
ART HISTORY.
Students in the Freshman year of the Literary
Course taking Art as an elective 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. Excel-
lent illustrations will be provided to aid in the in-
terest 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.
66
Course of Instruction.
ELOCUTION.
The aim of this department is to lead pupils to
appreciate and correctly interpret good literature.
Ail pupils in their Freshman and Sophomore
years of the Literary course have the privilege of
studying Elocution in general classes without extra
charge. Class work includes voice-training, pro-
nunciation, enunciation, and all the principles of
good reading. For those who wish to give special
attention to this study, a carefully graded course
has been arranged. No pupil will be given a cer-
tificate in Elocution who has not taken the entire
course in English Language and Literature.
67
Examinations.
EXAMINATIONS.
In addition to frequent reviews, two general ex-
aminations are held each year.
While these examinations are thorough and com-
prehensive, they are not of such length as to be
irksome and injurious.
The final grade and promotion of the pupil is
determined from the record of daily recitations and
examinations, and thus the student is stimulated to
thorough preparation for the class-room, and also
to a permanent acquisition of knowledge.
A grade mark or percentage of at least 80 in
each class must be obtained to pass a pupil from a
lower to a higher class.
REPORTS.
A permanent record of attendance, deportment
and class-standing is kept, from which reports are
made and sent to parents and guardians seven times
during the school year.
THE BLUE LIST.
For the information of parents and friends of
pupils, there is distributed on commencement day
The Blue List.
This list is in the nature of a roll of honor, and
contains the names of all pupils who have obtained
an average mark of 80 or more on their year's work
in their respective classes, and are consequently
passed to the higher classes.
68
Examinations.
Those pupils whose average is above 90 are dis-
tinguished^ and their names are printed on The
Blue List with numbers preceding which indicate
the order of their class standing, and they also re-
ceive certificates of distinction. The others are
placed in alphabetical order.
The Blue List also contains the names of all
graduates, medalists, etc.
The member of the graduating class who has
made an average of 95, or above, on the entire
course will be awarded the First Ho7ior. The
member of the class whose average on the entire
course is above 90 and less than 95 will be awarded
Second Honor.
CERTIFICATES AND DIPLOMAS.
Certificates of Distinction are given to those
pupils whose yearly average is 90 or more.
Certificates of Proficiency are given to those
pupils who complete satisfactorily the course of
study prescribed in any school.
DIPLOMAS.
A pupil who completes satisfactorily either of
the two courses of study, viz. : Literary or Classi-
cal-Scientific, receives a diploma with the title
Graduate.

71
General Information*
GENERAL INFORMATION,
The Institute Home*
Every effort is made to give the Institute the
character of a Christian home. Teachers and pu-
pils constitute one household. Care is taken to
render the home life of the student not only attrac-
tive, but conducive to the cultivation of those
srraces of character which mark refined women.
Only such restrictions are thrown around the pupils
as are considered important for their health, safety
and improvement. Importance is attached to the
cultivation of that considerate regard for the wishes
and feelings of others which leads to courteous de-
portment.
A student who persists in disobedience or disre-
spect, or even neglect of duty, and who is evidently
gaining no good herself and hindering others, is
not permitted to remain in the Institute. Pupils
are not allowed to leave the grounds without per-
mission, or unaccompanied by a teacher. Fre-
quently during the year instruction in manners and
etiquette is given by the Lady Principal.
The bedrooms of the Institute are carpeted and
comfortably furnished, and are thoroughly warmed
and ventilated. The occupants of each room are
required to keep it in order, and all rooms are daily
inspected.
The rooms are constructed for two and three oc-
cupants and are never crowded.
72
BED ROOM (LARGE SIZE).
GLIMPSE OF INFIRMARY
General Information*
When there is sufficient space^ a pupil may occupy
one of the smaller rooms alone, for which privilege
an extra charge at the rate of $50 for the session
will be made.
Rooms are assigned in the order of application for
entrance.
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.
Outfit.
Each boarding pupil must furnish two pair of
sheets, two pair of pillow-cases, six table-napkins,
napkin ring, six towels, two laundry bags, gossa-
mer, 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 con-
fusion 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 not be permitted to wear
low-necked dresses.
Health and Physical Trainfng-
In pursuing a course of study, good health is of
the highest importance. There is in this Institu-
75
General Information^
tion a close and intelligent supervision over the
health of the boarding pupils. The best medical
advice is secured and a trained nurse provided. All
the conditions of proper sanitation are carefully
observed. The Institute has a superior system of
sewerage, and an abundant supply of the purest
water. From basement to attic much care is ex-
ercised to maintain cleanliness and healthfulness.
A suite of rooms, including bedroom, sitting-
room and nurse's room, in a retired section of the
building, on the second floor, has been set aside
and is used exclusively as an infirmary. The In-
firmary will be in charge of a trained nurse. Thus
every provision has been made for taking the best
and most skillful care of girls when sick.
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 physical condition
of their daughters at the time of their entrance, and
to state whether their daughters have any special
weakness or tendency to disease, or idiosyncrasies
of constitution.
The Trustees feel that they can conscientiously
assure parents that, in cases of illness, their daugh-
ters will receive prompt and skillful medical atten-
tion, faithful and tender nursing, and in every case
of serious illness they will be promptly advised.
Physical Ctilttifc,
The Trustees, appreciating the importance of
physical exercise and training as conducive alike
76
SECTION OF STUDY HALL.
SECTION OF DINING-ROOM.
General Information^
to health and grace of carriage, have provided a
regular and systematic course in physical culture.
The Institute Gymnasium contains the best ap-
paratus, including 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
w^ork 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 makine.
Library and Reading-Room.
The Library now contains over 1,300 volumes,
selected with care and with a view to the needs of
pupils. It includes works of history, standard fic-
tion, biography, travels, essays, and treatises upon
literature, the classics, Biblical and miscellaneous
topics. The Sunday-school library has been se-
lected with extreme care, and is much read by the
pupils.
It is the intention of the Trustees to add such
79
General Information*
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, Eclectic
Magazine, Etude, Current Literature, New York Ob-
server, Popular Science Monthly, Scientific Ameri-
can, Werner's Magazine, Youth's Companion, South-
ern Presbyterian, Christian Observer, Christian In-
dex, Christian Advocate, Music Courier, Art Inter-
change, Biblical World, Educational Review, Forum,
Ladies' Home Journal, Music.
Literary Societies.
The Literary Societies contribute 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 liter-
ary gifts.
The Mnemosynean Society was organized in Oc-
tober, 1 89 1, 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, de-
bates 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 three
best papers, essays] or stories, under such condi-
80
General Information*
tions 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.
Under the auspices of the societies prominent lec-
turers will be brought to the Institute every session.
The Aurora,
The school publishes monthly The Aurora, a
paper which is well conducted, and which is a
source of literary profit and pleasure to the stu-
dents.
Scholarships.
The IV. 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 15,000.
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
by the trustees, as directed in Mr. Moore's will.
The W. P. Pattillo Scholarship. — This is a day
scholarship, for which Mr. Pattillo of Atlanta has
generously sent us a check for $60.00 for the past
five years.
The AhmmcE Scholarship. — The Alumnae have
General Information^
caught the spirit of helpfulness which characterizes
their Alma Mater, and, though comparatively a
small band, have nobly resolved to maintain a schol-
arship. For several sessions they have given a day
scholarship.
The Mnemosy7iean Scholarship. — Awarded by the
Muemosynean Literary Society. This scholarship
pays $60.00. The beneficiary is chosen by the
society, the preference always being given to de-
serving members. If no member is in need of the
aid, the society still reserves the right of nomina-
tion.
No Institute scholarship or medal will be awarded
until all charges have been satisfactorily arranged.
All dues must also be arranged before graduation.
CHARGES.
The charges given below are designed to cover
the actual cost of the advantages furnished.
By employing inferior teachers, and using an
ordinary building without an)^ modern improve-
ments, and without any special equipment; b}^ pro-
viding fewer comforts in the home department, and
making no special provision for caring for pupils
in case of sickness, these charges could doubtless
be reduced. But the best advantages and home
comfort cannot be furnished at a lower price. The
Institute does not hope or desire to do more than
to maintain the school at its present high state of
excellence.
The enterhig of a pupil in this histittite shall be deemed

a formal afid explicit contract for her to remain until the
close of the school year. The Institution obligates
itself to furnish board, instruction, and all the ad-
vantages it offers for the scholastic year, while the
patron upon his part, by entering his daughter, or
ward, obligates himself to send her for the entire ses-
sion. In no other way can a school without endow-
ment be maintained, since all engagements with
teachers and other provision for conducting the
school must be made in advance for the entire
year. Patrons can, therefore understand v/hy no
portion of the fees will be refunded in case of with-
drawal , unless such withdrawal is recommended or
approved by the Institute physician on account of
sickness.
The charges here given are for one term, which
is one-half the session.

All of the above charges are for the term, or half
session, and are payable September 5 and January
17. The expenses for the scholastic year may be
estimated by doubling the charges given above.
In addition to the above each boarding pupil pays
a physician's fee of $5.00 for the session or for any
part of it.
This fee secures the services of a prominent At-
lanta physician for the entire session, except in cases
of protracted and aggravated illness. This arrange-
ment 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 attend-
ance of the physician for the session is secured for
an amount charged by an Atlanta physician for a
single visit to Decatur.
A young lady occupying a room alone will be
charged I50 extra for the session. Even with this
86
General Information*
extra charge the Institute reserves the right to
grant this privilege or not.
No deductions for any catise 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
Literary Department, including heat, light, physi-
cal culture, for school year, $180.00.
Special studies, physician's fee and laundry at
regular rates.
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. Incidental and library fees of
$2.00 each for the session will be charged as in
other cases.
Patrons will notice that, with two exceptions, all
discounts have been discontinued. This has been
done because rates were already at cost.
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
87
General Information^
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
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 suppi^ied with
whoi.esome food, and parents are urged not
TO SEND THEIR DAUGHTERS EATABLES. PLACING
BEFORE THEM A TEMPTATION TO EAT RICH FOOD AT
88
General Inform ation>
ALIv 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 will not be allowed to go to Atlanta
oftener than is absolutely necessary for shopping
purposes, and then only when accompanied by a
teacher.
Pupils are 7iot allowed to receive callers o?i 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
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.
89
General Information^
Books, sheet music, art materials, etc., will be
supplied at actual cost only to boarding pupils ; day-

Needs of the Institute.
NEEDS OF THE INSTITUTE.
The institute was founded for a great purpose :
The Glory of God in the Higher Christian 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 Additionai, Buii^ding. — 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
had become so urgent that the Board of Trustees,
at a meeting in October of last year, 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, ^^ 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
lOI
Needs of the Institute^
fund. Since tlie meeting of the Synod, the Presi-
dent has visited many of the churches in the inter-
est of the fund, and has met with m^ch encourage-
ment from ministers and a liberal response. At this
date the subscriptions aggregate ^49 ,225. 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
we 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 I50 a day pupil.
Any who may desire to aid in this great work
are requested to correspond with the President.
Fonn of Bequest of Devise,
The Agnes Scott Institute is a corporation created
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 Insti-
tute, as provided for in its charter.
102
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
three successive years a day pupil was 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 other-
wise be unable to secure an education.
Donations to the fund will be gratefully received,
sacredly guarded, and faithfully used.
Any money for this cause will be received and
receipted for by the President of the Institution.
