Agnes Scott Institute*
"J N the summer of 1889 the Presbyterians of Deca-
tur began a movement to establish an institu-
tion for the higher education of young women.
The first session opened in September of the same
year. In November, 1891, the present main build-
ing was dedicated. This building, together with
its furnishing and equipment, and also the lot on
which it stands, were the gift of Col. Geo. W. Scott.
In recognition of his great generosity the Board
of Trustees gave the institution the name of Col.
Scott's sainted mother, Agnes Scott. On this
foundation Agnes Scott Institute has steadily grown
from year to year through the liberality and co-op-
eration of many friends throughout the State and
country.
From the beginning the plan has been to provide
the best educational advantages in courses of
study, in buildings, and equipment, as well as in
faculty, and to maintain a high standard. The
institution is distinctly and positively Christian, the
Bible is a text-book. Christian ideals are dominant,
the formation and development of Christian char-
acter a prime object, and the glory of God the
supreme end.
While the Institute has been founded and is con-
ducted by Presbyterians it welcomes students of
every faith and most scrupulously avoids any inter-
ference with church preferences.

AGNES SCOTT INSTITUTE.
Requirements for Admission to the Freshman
Class.
English. — (aj^A standard English Grammar,
such as The Mother Tongue, Book II., and an Ele-
mentary Rhetoric should be completed. The stu-
dent should lay greater stress on the thoroughness of
her work than on how much she has done. Ability
to write simple English correctly is necessary.
Each applicant will write a theme upon some as-
signed subject. No candidate will be accepted in
English if her work is seriously defective in spell-
ing, punctuation, grammar, or division into para-
graphs.
(d) Literature. Careful study of Scott's Lady
of the Lake or of Marmion ; Ivanhoe ; The De Cov-
erley Papers; Pope's Illiad, Books I., VL, XXII.,
XXIV. ; Lowell's Vision of Sir Launfal ; Tenny-
son's Princess. The candidate is expected to pre-
sent evidence of a general knowledge of the sub-
ject-matter, and to answer simple questions on the
lives of the authors.
Mathematics. — [d) Arithmetic completed.
{p) Algebra through the progressions. Wells's,
or equivalent.
Latin. — (i) Collar and Daniell's First Latin
Book completed and thoroughly reviewed.

REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION.
ton, Part II. ; Daniell's New Latin Composition,
work based on Cicero.
(5) Latin Grammar ; West's Latin Grammar
completed ; Gildersleeve-Lodge studied after class
begins Cicero.
(6) Sight-reading, as much practice as possible.
Greek (if taken). — (i) White's First Greek
Book completed and thoroughly reviewed.
(2) Xenophon's Anabasis I., Goodwin and
White.
(3) Goodwin's Greek Grammar studied in con-
nection with Xenophon.
(4) Woodruff's Composition, exercises based on
Anabasis I.
(5) Sight- translation, Greek New Testament,
as much practice as possible.
German. — i. Lehrbuch der Deutschen Sprache ;

Neues.
This includes a practical knowledge of the prin-
ciples of pronunciation and accidence, the elemen-
tary rules of syntax and word order, the translation
of sentences from German into English and from
English into German, the simplest forms of con-
versation, and one hundred and fifty pages of easy
reading.
* French. — A knowledge of the principles of
French Grammar as given in Chardenal's Complete
French Grammar as far as syntax.
Regular and the most used irregular verbs.

17
AGNES SCOTT INSTITUTE.
Ability to translate easy French prose into Eng-
lish.
History. — {a) History of Greece, FyfiFe's, or
equivalent.
[d) History of Rome, Creighton's, or equivalent.
(c) History of the United States, Field's, or
equivalent.
Science. — (a) Physical Geography, Davis's, or
equivalent.
{d) Physiology, Blaisdell's, or equivalent.
The proper classification of new students is ex-
ceedingly important. If it is too high the student
will find her work a constant drag and thoroughly
unsatisfactory to herself, teachers, and parents. On
the other hand, if too low, an injustice will be
done. To avoid both evils is our earnest desire.
After years of experience we find the best plan is to
combine two things — viz.: exa7ni)iation ^cadi probation.
After what, under the circumstances, is considered
a fair test, the student will be classified on probation^
and all necessary changes will be made after trial
in daily recitations and class-room work.
Admission to Advanced Classes,
Candidates for entrance to any class above the
Freshman will be required to stand examinations
on all subjects previously studied in the Collegiate
Department. For a list of these studies in the dif-
ferent courses, see Description of Courses of Study,
pages 23-52.

COURSE OF INSTRUCTION.
Description of Course of Study*
ENGLISH.
Miss McKinney,
Mr. Farrar.
Language. — The purpose of this department is
twofold: First, to teach the student to express her
thoughts clearly and forcibly and elegantly, both
in spoken and written discourse ; and second, to
study the language in its historical development, a
knowledge of which is essential to a correct under-
standing of our present-day English. The princi-
ples governing clear and correct writing are taught,
and practical skill is gained by the preparation of
frequent themes which are criticized in the class-
room.
LiterahLve. — The chief aim of this branch of
the English work is to arouse in the students a de-
sire to read and know the best English literature.
As the first step toward gaining this object, such
of the masterpieces as will interest the pupils and
are adapted to their comprehension will be given
the class for thorough and careful study. These
are discussed at length in class.
As a second step towards this end, a course of
pleasant and instructive reading, outside of regular
23
AGNES SCOTT INSTITUTE.
work, is assigned to each class, to be reported upon
at regular intervals during the term. The student
is expected to read carefully and intelligently all
the books prescribed. She should read them as
she reads other books ; she is expected, not to
know them minutely, but to have freshly in mind
their most important parts.
Written work is required of the classes in this
department, not only as a practical test of their
knowledge of the books read, but also as a further
help to clear and accurate writing.
1. [a) Rhetoric and English Composition. — Reci-
tations and weekly themes. This is purely an in-
troductory course and is designed to teach correct-

a liberal education, and to cultivate correct habits
of observation and manipulation.
Laboratory work is essential. No student who
is not faithful and persevering in this branch of
the work will be promoted. At least ten quanti-
tative experiments are required to impress the
importance of accuracy in the verification of the
simplest laws. The students are trained in the
construction, mounting and manipulation of ap-
paratus.
Each student is required to make a record of her
laboratory work while in the laboratory. The
care and originality shown in this record will be
an important factor in the determination of class-
standinor.
Students applying for admission to higher
classes must furnish evidence of systematic labora-
tory work in Chemistry, as it is the quality and
not the quantity of their work that will be con-
sidered. L/aboratory books must, therefore, be
presented before the student is admitted to exami-
nation.

COURSE OF INSTRUCTION.
The Institute has recently constructed a build-
ing to accommodate the scientific laboratories.
This building-, which is called Science Hall, is a
two-story brick building containing nine rooms and
a basement. The whole lower floor, consisting of
laboratories for Analytical and General Chemistry,
recitation-room, library, balance-room, storage-
room, is devoted to Chemistry.
The chemical laboratory is well equipped for
general experimentation, having a good stock of
inorganic and organic chemicals, a complete assort-
ment of the necessary laboratory apparatus, and
convenient laboratory desks, which are supplied
with gas, hot and cold water, air blast, laboratory
burners, and furnaces. The laboratory desks have
separate drawers and lockers for each student, where
the apparatus given out from the storage-room can
be kept.
Some of the best reference-books and current
scientific journals are kept in the library. In the
balance-room are Becker balances of high grade.
B.— PHYSICS.

C— BIOLOGY.
The Biological Laboratory is a beautifully
lighted room on the second floor of Science Hall.
Here are found the very best compound micro-
scopes, dissecting implements, sectioning and
staining apparatus, constant temperature baths,
cages for insect- culture, aquaria, and many other
conveniences for study of animal and plant life.
There are four courses offered in this depart-
ment.
I . General Biology. — This is a practical
course, which includes the study of. animal mor-
phology and physiology — Zoology ; and a study
of vegetable morphology and physiology — Bot-
any.
This course is elementary and founded on se-
lected portions of Davis's text-books of Biology. In
connection with the lectures and recitations a reg-
ular course of laboratory work will be maintaitied,
in which the lower forms of life, such as the amoe-
ba, the hydra, yeast and moulds, will be studied
36
COURSE OF INSTRUCTION.
under the microscope; and higher forms, such as the
oyster, the crawfish, the frog and the English spar-
row, 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.
The various parts of a plant, such as seeds, roots,
stem and leaves, are studied, and this is followed
by an examination and classification of the ordi-
nary native plants of the vicinity. This course
comprises three hours a week of laboratory work,
and so much of field work as circumstances will
allow.
Text-books:— Needham's Lessons in Zoology, Davis's Bi-
ology— Part I., and Bergen's Elements of Botany.
Books of Reference: — Brook's Invertebrate Zoology, Corn-
stock's Manual for Study of Insects, Gray's School and Field
Botany, and Chapman's Botany.
Recitations, thi*ee times a vpeek.
Laboratory work, three hours a week.

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.
Text-book: — Strasburger's Practical Botany.
Recitations, two hours a week.
Laboratory work, five hours a week.
3. AnimaIv 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 experi-

vertebrate Zoology, Quain's Osteology.
Recitations, two hours a week.
Laboratory work, seven hours a week.
D.-GEOLOGY.
In this department recitations and class work are
supplemented by assigned readings, laboratory
work, and excursions.
This section of Georgia presents some very in-
teresting features for geological students. The
shifted divides of North Georgia and South Car-
olina and the belted coastal plain of South Georgia
and Alabama furnish excellent studies in Physi-
ography. Stone Mountain, a splendid geologi-
cal problem for the student, is but a few miles
distant.
The Institute will endeavor to keep a complete
set of publications of the United States Geological
Survey, as well as those of the different States.
38
COURSE OF INSTRUCTION.
Students will be encouraged to inform themselves
respecting the geology of the sections from which
they come.
1. {a) This course is designed to give an under-
standing of the general character of the earth's
history, and embraces physiographic, dynamic,
structural and historical Geology.
Text-books :— Le Conte's Geology or W. B. Scott's Ele-
ments of Geology.
Books of Reference :—Lyeirs Principles of Geology, Gei-
kie's Text-book of Geology.
(b) Mineralogy and Crystallography. This is a
very elementary laboratory course which is so di-
rected by the instructor as to make the students
familiar with the most common minerals and crys-
tal forms and the methods of identifying them.
Books of Reference : — Dana's Text-book of Mineralogy
and G- H. William's Elements of Crystallography.
Three hours a week.
Through the generosity of Mr. N. P. Pratt, Dr.
D. A. Shumate, Colonel Geo. W. Scott and others,
a mineralogical cabinet of over three hundred speci-
mens has been recently added to this department,
which will be of great value to the geological
students.
E.— ASTRONOMY.

instruments now in use in the Yerkes and Lick
observatories will be presented and their workingr
described. The Institute has a small telescope
which adds much interest to these studies.
Text-book : — Young's General Astronomy.
Eeference : — Newcomb & Holden.
THE BIBLE,
Mr, Hammond.
This is a three years' course, beginning with
the Sophomore year.
Objects. — (i) To give a clear knowledge of Bib-
lical 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 Christen-
dom.
(2) To give in some measure an adequate view
of the value of the Bible. While the Bible is theo-
retically considered the greatest book in existence,
yet 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 unsatisfac-
tory for the lack of the best method of study.
How THE Course is Taught. — (i) 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-
42
COURSE OF INSTRUCTION.
cording to a plan. The plan used is to divide
each Testament into periods according to the
epochs in the history, and to study these periods
in order.
(3) The Bible is taught aiialytically. Each
period is carefully analyzed and the material ar-
ranged in an orderly way. Then, as time permits,
books and chapters 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 :
1. From the Creation to the Kingdom. Text-
books: Bible Course: Outline and Notes (Gaines);
Manual of Biblical Geography (Hurlbut).
Two hours a week.
2. From the Kingdom to End of Old Testa-
ment. Same text-books continued.
Two hours a week.
3. The New Testament. Same text-books con-
tinued, with the following additional : Harmony
of the Gospel (Broadus); Evidences of Christian-
ity (Alexander).
Two hours a week.
43

course are required to recite one lesson a week
either in the Story of the Bible (Foster), Studies
in the Four Gospels (Hurlbut), or Blaikie's Bible
History.
HISTORY.
Miss Massie.
In this department, effort is made to employ
those methods of instruction best adapted to re-
move the prejudice that history is a dry mass of
facts and dates, to arouse in the student enthusiasm
for the study, and constantly to impress the idea of
the continuity of all history as well as the unity of
national life, throughout all changes and even revo-
lutions.

taken Courses i, 2, and 3.
The pupils of each class are required to keep
notebooks and to indicate on outline maps terri-
torial changes and lines of march of tribes and
armies. For this latter purpose McKinley's At-
lases are used.
Written tests are given at intervals and topics
for special study assigned, of which oral reports are
made in the class.
Several papers during the year are required of
those taking Courses 2, 3 or 4.
Class discussion is encouraged, and students are
urged to bring to the class from magazines, news-
papers or any sources available, collections of pic-
tures and items of interest bearing on the subject
studied.
A reading-room, well supplied with the best
periodicals, enables the students to prepare them-
selves for a weekly discussion of topics of the day
and of matters of general information.

GERMAN.
Miss MacSwain.
While acquiring a correct pronunciation, a suffi-
cient vocabulary, and a knowledge of grammatical
principles, the student is led to an understanding
of the German tongue as a living medium for the
expression and interchange of thought. A love
for German literature is awakened, and an ambi-
tion to comprehend readily its masterpieces. The
method of instruction is varied to suit the needs
of the class, but the same end is kept in view, that
of grasping and expressing ideas.
1. Collar-EysenbacJi s Grammar. Accidence is
reviewed. Special stress is laid upon the use of
prepositions and conjunctions and the modal auxil-
iaries. Such stories as Immensee, Hoher als die

els and thorough instruction is offered those desir-
ing to study china-painting, tapestry, and other
lines of decorative painting.

also taught.
A sufficient knowledge of drawing will be re-
quired before entering upon the study of these
branches.
There will be an hour lesson once a week, the
study extending over a two-years' course. Excellent
illustrations will be furnished to aid in the interest
and profitableness of the study. Reference will
also be made to literature in its connection with
Art.
Other students of the school may, with permis-
sion 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.

COURSE OF INSTRUCTION.
PHYSICAL TRAINING.
Miss Pope.
The course of Physical Training used in the
Agnes Scott Institute will be the Swedish or Ling
System of gymnastics. The work is systematized
to consist of a progressive day's order, which shall
have the necessary elements of unity and totality
in each order, and as a whole. This schedule
permits of mild exercises at first, with a gradual
increase until we reach the end.
Games will also be introduced with the idea of
development of accuracy, skill, endurance, moral
training, and finally hygienic results. In these
are included basket-ball and field-hockey, both of
which will be played out of doors when the weather
permits. Instructions in swimming and tennis
will also be given, as there is a well-equipped
swimming-pool and also tennis courts connected
with the Institute. Those engaging in basket-ball
will receive very careful attention, as there are the
proper facilities for guarding against injurious re-
sults. Only those who are physically sound will
be allowed to engage in this delightful game, played
under careful supervision and according to rules
adopted by all the leading women's colleges. The
teacher will endeavor to make the work attractive
and pleasing to the students, at the same time pay-
ing strict attention to their physical condition and
well being.
63
AGNBS SCOTT INSTITUTE.
There will also be a Corrective Department, in
■which exercises for the correction of faulty car-
riage and postures, flat feet, and any spinal curva-
ture will be given.
It will be necessary for all students taking the
course in either Physical Training or Corrective
Work to be provided with a gymnasium suit, con-
sisting of blouse, bloomers, and shoes, in order
that perfect freedom of movement may be ob-
tained.
Lectures in hygiene, which is a very necessary
study in connection with Physical Training, will
be included in the Ph5^siology Course.

COURSE OF INSTRUCTION.
ACADEMIC DEPARTMENT.
The work in this department extends over five
years, and has been so arranged as to prepare stu-
dents for the courses in the Collegiate Department.
REQUIREMENTS FOR ENTRANCE.
Eitglish. — Language lessons, study of the sen-
tence, lessons in punctuation and capitalization,
simple letter-writing.
Arithmetic. — Addition, subtraction, multiplica-
tion, division, primary fractions.
Geography. — Maury's Elementary Geography,
or an equivalent, completed.
Reading. — Ability to read intelligently and ex-
pressively standard works of the grade of Haw-

Heroes.
ENGLISH.
Grammar and Composition. — The aim in this
study is to give the pupil a thorough knowledge
of Elementary Grammar and to teach the meth-
65
AGNUS SCOTT INSTITUTE.
ods of simple, direct, and accurate expression.
The study of the principles of composition is not
left until the third or fourth year ; from the begin-
ning the pupil is led to frame simple generaliza-
tions for her own guidance. Much composition
work is done in the first and second years. In the
third, fourth, and Sub-Freshman years weekly
themes are required. In each of the four years
many themes are written in class, a limited period
being set apart for the first draft and half as much
time being given for revision.
Literature and Reading. — In general, the object is
fourfold : (i) To secure a ready apprehension of
thought and feeling from the printed page ; (2) to
cultivate the power to give correct vocal expres-
sion to thought and feeling; (3) to secure at least
a slight acquaintance with classic literature; (4)
to create and foster a love for good reading.
Before entering upon this stage of their work
pupils are supposed to have had thorough training
in reading, although much of the class-work of
the first four years consists of reading aloud. Pupils
will be required also, from time to time, to memo-
rize passages from the selections studied. In ad-
dition to the regular class- work there will be as-
signed books for home reading. ♦

bath is observed as a holy day. The
boarding students attend the Sabbath-school in the
Institute conducted by the resident teachers. All
students are expected to attend church on Sabbath

meets every Sabbath evening.
The Institute has been founded and sustained
by Presbyterians, and hence its moral standards
and religious life conform as nearly as possible to
those which obtain in that church. Special care,
however, is taken not to interfere in any way with
the religious views or preferences of students from
families belonging to other denominations, or to no
denomination, all of whom are welcome.
Every effort is made to give

Only such restrictions are thrown around the
students 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 deportment.
A student who persists in disobedience or disre-
spect, or even neglect of duty, and who is evi-
dently gaining no good herself and is hindering
others, is not permitted to remain in the Institute.
Students are not allowed to leave the grounds with-

tants, on the Georgia Railroad, six miles
east of the Union Depot, Atlanta. All the condi-
tions of healthfulness seem to be met perfectly
here : an elevation of 1,050 feet ; no large streams
or bodies of water near enough to give dampness
to the atmosphere ; fine freestone water; excellent
drainage ; and freedom from malaria. There are
Presbyterian, Methodist and Baptist churches with
resident pastors, and also an Episcopal chapel.
The Donald Fraser High School for boys, a pre-
paratory school of high grade and superior man-
agement, is located here.
The nearness and accessibility of Decatur to At-

1891, is a massive edifice, simple in
architecture yet not lacking in impressiveness.
It is constructed of brick, granite, and marble, is

feet wide, and four stories high above basement.
The entire build ng is heated and ventilated by the
indirect steam method, and lighted by electricity.
Chapel, parlors, offices, library, 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 win-

The chambers are unusually large, arranged so
as to admit abundant sunlight, and in their con-

his daughter, or ward, obligates himself to send
h.&r for the eiitire session. In no other way can a
school without endowment be maintained, since all
engagements with teachers and other provisions
for conducting the school must be made in advance
for the entire year. Patrons can therefore under-
stand why no portion of the fees will be refunded
in the event of withdrawal, unless such with-
drawal is recommended or approved by the Insti-
tute physician on account of sickness.
The same rule applies to both boarding and day
students. If for any reason a student is entered
for less than the session, special arrangement must
be made with the President.
Those who may find it more convenient to pay
quarterly in advance can arrange to do so by apply-
ing to the President.
In addition to the charges given above, each
boarding pupil pays a physician's fee of $5.00 for
the session or any part of it. This fee secures the
services of a prominent Atlanta physician for the
entire session, except in cases of protracted atid aggra-
vated illness. This arrangement is made entirely
in the interest of our patrons. The Institute

GENERAL INFORMATION.
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 attendance of
the physician for tlie session is secured for an
amount charged by an Atlanta physician for a
single visit to Decatur.
No DEDUCTION FOR ANY CAUSE WII<L BE AL-
LOWED PUPILS WITHDRAWING AFTER THE BEGIN-
NING OF THE FOURTH QUARTER.
All drafts, checks and money orders should be
made payable to F. H. Gaines, President. If re-
mittance is by local check, add twenty-five cents
for exchange.
DISCOUNTS.
When two or more boarding students are entered
from the same family, a discount of five per cent,
is allowed on total bills, except on physician's fees.
When a student takes two musics or music and
art, and literary course, a discount of five per cent,
on total bill will be given, except physician's fee
and laboratory fee.
To ministers regularly engaged in their calling
the following rates are given : Board, tuition in
Literary Department, including heat, light, physi-
cal training, 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

CAUSE EXCEPT SICKNESS, AND THAT ONLY WHEN
THE ABSENCE IS FOR AS I^ONG A PERIOD AS ONE
MONTH.
Parents must not expect to pay o?ily for the time
their daughters are in actual attendance. No
student will be received for less than a quarter,
and then on/y by special arrangement with the
President.
SUGGESTIONS to PARENTS ot 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
their daughters in this school are understood to
accept the conditions as defined in the catalogue.
Every expressed wish of parent 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 two 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 can not give their daughters permission
to do what is prohibited, nor to omit what is re-
quired, by the rules of this Institute.
90
GENERAL INFORMATION.
Parents are requested to consult with the Presi-
dent or Lady Principal before excusing their
daughters 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 abundantly supplied with
wholesome food, and parents are urged not
to send their daughters eatables. placing
before them a temptation to eat rich food
at all hours is a most effectual means of
defeating all the ends for which they have
been sent to school.
Frequent visiting has been found to interfere
seriously with the work of pupils, therefore they
are permitted to visit only occasionally, with the
written permission of their parents, and even then
the matter must be subject to the discretion of the
Lady Principal.
Piipils are not expected to receive callers on the
Sabbath.
Visitors will not be received during school or
study hours : 8 130 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.
Money for books, music, and incidental
EXPENSES CAN NOT BE ADVANCED. A deposit of
ten or fifteen dollars should be made at the begin-
91

ning of each term, an itemized statement of the
expenditure of which will be rendered.
Dentistry should be attended to before leaving
for school.
Parents are urged to have their daughters vacci-
nated before entering them in this institution.
Punctuality is indispensable to progress. If
possible have your daughter present on the first
day of school.
For repeated violations of the rules, parents will
be requested to take their daughters home.
The proper address for telegrams and letters is
in care of Agnes Scott Institute, Decatur, Ga.
All letters on business concerning the admission
or dismission of pupils, concerning any of the de-
partments of instruction, concerning the general
management and conduct of the institution, or ap-
plication for catalogues, should be addressed to the
President.
Remittances of money should be made to the
President by post-office order, registered letter. New
York draft, or express order, or payments may be
made to him in person. If by local check add
twenty-five cents to pay exchange.
lyCtters concerning the pupils personally, prog-
ress in their studies, health, rooms, roommates
should be addressed to the Lady Principal.

THB ALUMNI ASSOCIATION.
The Alumnae Association.
During the Commencement of 1895 the Agnes
Scott Alumnse Association was organized. The
object of the Association is to strengthen the in-
terest 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
eight successive years a day pupil has been main-
tained in school by the Alumnse, and nine hundred
dollars has been collected by them toward the es-
tablishment 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.
Organization of the Association.
President — Miss Mattie Cobb Howard.
Secretary — Miss Annie Kirk Dowdell.
Treasurer — Miss I^aura Caldwell.

NEEDS OF THE INSTITUTE.
The Needs of the Institute.
A living, growing, and full institution, aspiring
to the largest usefulness, will alw^ays have needs.
Agnes Scott belongs to this class. The following
are some of its pressing needs :
A New Dormitory. — In order to accommodate
its boarding students it is compelled to rent a large
building.
All Ad7ninistration Building. — To contain
chapel, library, study-halls, faculty-room, recita-
tion-rooms and society-halls. The growing attend-
ance is taxing all available space.
Endowment. — For professorships and for main-
tenance.
Scholarships. — Three times the amount of
scholarship funds at present available could be
used to great advantage.
