^gne£i ^cott College.
The annoimcement is herewith, made that by for-
mal charter amendment Agnes Scott Institute has be-
come Agnes Scott College.
Agnes Scott Institute is a name widely and favor-
ably known, as well as much beloved by the students
and friends of the institution. Fifteen years ago
the name was first announced. From the very begin^
ning these definite ideals have been kept in view : To
have a thoroughly qualified and consecrated faculty;
to offer a liberal curriculum based on sound educa-
tional principles; to maintain a high standard; to
be positively Christian with the glory of God as the
chief end. ]^ever once in the history of the institu-
tion have these aims been forgotten. They have
shaped its policy and moulded its character. — i
The growth of the institution has been steady and
marked. The grounds have been extended; the
buildings increased in number from one to eight;
Chemical, Biological, and Physical laboratories have
been added; the library has been very largely in-
creased ; the faculty has grown in numbers ; the pre-
paratory department has been definitely separated
from the College and organized into an Academy;
the patronage has steadily increased, until every
Southern State and many others have been repre-
sented in the student body. In no respect has the
growth of the institution been more pronounced than
15
AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE.
in its educational work. It has kept constantly in
touch with modern movements in education, and has
endeavored to keep pace with the remarkable progress
of the past decade both in curriculum and in methods.
Last year the separation was made more distinct be-
tween preparatory and college work, and for the first
time a course was offered leading to the B.A. degree.
Thus gradually, and yet persistently, has Agnes
Scott been pursuing the great purpose had in view by
its founders — to become a college of high grade. Both
the Faculty and the Board of Trustees have a high
conception of what an institution should be in order
to merit the name of college, and have been unwilling
for- Agnes Scott to assume this name until they were
satisfied that it measured up to the proper standard.
Hence very carefully has the transition been made.
The same ideals which guided and controlled the
Institute will continue in the College.
An essential part of the purpose of the founders
was that Agnes Scott should be Christian, dominated
by the teachings and spirit of Christianity. This
feature is kept in view in the entire organization and
work of the institution. The formation of Chris-
tian character and ideals is deemed supremely im-
portant, and the accomplishment of this end is con-
stantly sought. The work of each day is begun with
religious exercises in the chapel and is closed with
evening prayer. The Sabbath is observed as a holy
day. The boarding students attend the Sabbath-
school in the College conducted by the resident pro-
16
TEE SESSION.
fessors. All students are expected to attend cliurcli
on Sabbath morning. Prayer-meeting is held in the
College weekly.
The College was founded 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 in-
terfere in any way with the religious views or prefer-
ences of students from families belonging to other
denominations, or to no denomination, all of whom
are welcome.
The length of the session is thirty-six weeks. De-
ducting holidays the actual teaching time is about
thirty-four weeks, which is longer than the time given
to work in the Eastern colleges. The session is di-
vided into two terms. The fall term begins Septem-
ber the 19th and ends January the 23rd. The spring
term begins January the 24th and ends May the 29th.
For Christmas recess and holidays see Calendar.

©EfiJcription of entrance feubjette.
IsToTE. — No candidate will be accepted in Eng-
lish whose work is notably deficient in point of spell-
ing, punctuation, idiom or division into paragraphs.
Mother Tongue II. or Reed and Kellogg's Grammar,
or some such text-book on that subject, and some ele-
mentary rhetoric like Scott and Denny's Composi-
tion-Rhetoric, or Lockwood's and Emerson's Lessons
in English are suggested as indicating the amount of
formal grammar and rhetoric needed for entrance.
LiTEEATURE. — The reading course and course of
special study adopted by the Association of Colleges
and Preparatory Schools of the Southern States.
The following are the courses assigned for entrance
requirements in English, 1905-1906.
Readii^g. — Shakespeare's "Merchant of Venice"
and "Julius Caesar"; the "Sir Roger de Coverley
Papers" in The Spectator; Goldsmith's "Yicar of
Wakefield" ; Coleridge's "Ancient Mariner" ; Scott's
"Ivanhoe" ; Tennyson's "Princess" ; Lowell's "Vision
of Sir Launf al" ; George Eliot's "Silas Marner."
The candidate is expected to read intelligently all
the books prescribed. She should read them as she
reads mother books; she is expected not to know
them minutely, but to have freshly in mind their
most important parts. In every case, the examiner
will regard knowledge of the book as less important
than ability to write English.
19
AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE,
As additional evidence of preparation the can-
didate may present an exercise book, properly cer-
tified by ber instructor, containing compositions or
other written work.
Study and Peactice. — Shakespeare's "Macbeth" ;
Milton's "Lycidas," "Comus," "L' Allegro" and "H
Penseroso"; Burke's "Speech on Conciliation With
America" ; Macaulay's "Essays on Milton and Addi-
son."
Hatin.
Under usual conditions, four years of ^yq periods
per week will be necessary to complete the entrance
requirements in Latin. All candidates for the de-
gree of B.A. must offer this subject.
{a) Grammar: A thorough knowledge of the in-
flections ; the simpler rules for composition and deri-
vation of words; syntax of nouns and verbs; struc-
ture of sentences in general, with particular emphasis
upon relative and conditional sentences, indirect dis-
course, and all uses of the subjunctive.
(5) Prose Composition: This should constitute
an important part of the preparation in Latin. At
least one period per week should be devoted to prose
during each year of preparation. It should include
a systematic study of the main principles of Latin

One year of five periods per week will be necessary
to complete the entrance requirements, and schools
are strongly advised to devote two years to this work.

The year's work in this subject should furnish the
student with general knowledge of the nature and
morphology of seeds ; of the structure of the various
parts of the plant and their functions ; of the classifi-
cation of the leading members of the more important
plant families. She should be able to use a manual
for the identification of any of the simple flowering

Every candidate must present a note-book, endorsed
by her instructor, showing a record of experiments
actually done in the laboratory. The endorsement
of the teacher must state that the experiments have
been carried out by the student herself in the labora-

meet all the entrance requirements (pp. 18-24) in
order to be admitted without condition ; or by passing
on certain subjects she may be admitted with condi-
tions (see pp. 32-33). For admission to advanced
standing (see p. 26).
^bmiifsiion of Irregular ^tubentjS.
Candidates for admission who do not wish to pur-
sue a course of study leading to the degree are admit-
ted by examination or by certificate. These students
must offer for entrance English, Mathematics, and
one other subject chosen from the list of entrance
subjects (page 18).
Irregular students are required to take a minimum
of eleven hours of recitations per week.
Should they desire later to arrange their courses
for the degree, credit will be given them for work
already done in the College, but they must meet all
of the entrance requirements of degree students.
^bmisisiion of Special ^tubentsi.
Students who have completed their collegiate edu-
cation, or who have some years prior to their applica-
tion finished their preparation for college and have
been prevented from continuing their education, are
admitted without examination to pursue studies not
25
AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE,
included among the entrance subjects. Sucli stu-
dents must show special fitness for the departments
they desire to enter.
This arrangement for special students is designed
specially for teachers who desire to continue their
studies in a college well equipped with libraries and
laboratories. These students will not be permitted
to change to the degree course unless they meet the
entrance requirements of degree students.
^bmisfsiion to ^bbanceb ^tanbing.
Any student may be admitted to any of the higher
classes on the following conditions :
1. That she stand examinations on all the subjects
embraced in the course of the B.A. degree below the
class for which she applies. Credit will be given
for any subject on which the candidate passes satis-
factory examination.
2. When she comes from another institution of
recognized standing and desires to enter by certifi-
cate she must present detailed statement of work done,
and, at the discretion of the Professor at the head of
each department, may receive credit for such work.
Certificates must be presented from the instructors
in each department of the college from which she
comes showing amount, character of the work, and
time given to it. Laboratory and note books must
accompany certificates of work done in Sciences and
History.

residence for one complete session immediately pre-
ceding graduation.
4. In every case the applicant must present certifi-
cate signed by the president of the institution she
last attended showing that she has been honorably
dismissed.
^bmisfsiion bp Certificate.
It is desirable to avoid as far as possible the incon-
venience, interruption, and mental strain incident
to entrance examinations, and, therefore, the College
accepts official statements from authorized officers of
accredited High Schools and other preparatory
schools in regard to the preparation of students.
Such schools must submit full information in regard
to faculty, methods of instruction, courses of study,
and equipment before they can secure the certificate
privilege. Students coming directly from these
schools may be admitted without examination, if
properly signed certificates have been received from
the authorized officer of the school.
Agnes Scott seeks the support, co-operation and
sympathy of all worthy secondary schools, recogniz-
ing as the surest basis for advancing the educational
interests of the South the perfect co-ordination of the
college with the preparatory school.
The certificate privilege is granted under the fol-
lowing restrictions and regulations:
1. Schools are granted the certificate privilege in
those studies in which students have been admitted
on examination and have shown after one year in the
27
AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE.
College that their preparation was thorough and their
training consistent with the best methods. These
schools will be required to renew this right of certifi-
cation after three years, unless their students con-
tinue to show satisfactory preparation.
2. Schools that have been examined by the col-
leges belonging to the Association of Colleges and
Preparatory Schools of the Southern States and ad-
mitted to their accredited lists will be granted the
right of certification on trial, subject to the conditions
mentioned in the preceding paragraph.
3. Application for this privilege must be made by
the principal or authorized officer of the school on
blanks provided for the purpose, which will facilitate
the giving of information in regard to the scope and
method of instruction in each study and also about
the equipment of the school. This privilege must be
granted before May 15 if it is to be used the fol-
lowing September. Applications may be made at
any time between September 15 and May 15.
4. Accredited schools are requested to send cata-
logues and circulars of information concerning their
work to the College every year. Changes in faculty
and changes in methods of instruction in any study
may cause withdrawal of the certificate privilege for
the study concerned, until the changes have been
shown to be satisfactory.
5. This privilege is not extended to private teach-
ers, unless students prepared by them have been ad-
mitted on examination, or unless some college of the
Association of Colleges and Preparatory Schools of
28
ADMISSION.
the Southern States has testified that their students
have been admitted and have shown adequate prepa-
ration.
6. Certificates can not be considered unless made
out on blank forms provided by the College for the
purpose, and these certificates must furnish the in-
formation asked for. Such certificates must be
sent directly to the College from the officer of the
school who has been authorized to sign them.
7. Certificates will not be taken for parts of a sub-
ject completed before entering the certificating school,
for work done on any entrance subject during the
vacation, for any work done more than one year be-
fore application for admission, for preparation made
in less time than that specified under Description of
Entrance Subjects. See pages 20-24.
^bmiJfsfion hv examination.
Examinations for admission are given in May
and in September. The examinations in May may
be taken at the time of the final examinations in the
various preparatory schools and the High Schools of
the South. The Association of Colleges and Pre-
paratory Schools of the Southern States has instituted
a system of uniform entrance examinations which is
designed to facilitate the admission of students. The
examination questions are prepared by committees
from the faculties of the colleges and schools and are
to be set in place of the final examinations in May on
the dates assigned. It is desired to stimidate the sec-
ondary schools, to set similar standards for them, and
29
AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE.
to encourage them to work together. In order to
make this system effective it is necessary for all the
schools to give the final examinations at the same
time.
E"ot all of the "Entrance Subjects'' will be re-
quired of any student for entrance. Those that are
required and those that are elective are designated
both for candidates for the degree and for irregular
students. See page 18. The scope of the work
required in these entrance subjects accords with the
requirements for admission prescribed by the Asso-
ciation of Colleges and Preparatory Schools of the
Southern States. The examinations may be taken
either in May or September.
Wi)t Examinations; 0Utvtti in iHap,
These are the uniform entrance examinations pre-
pared and offered under the auspices of the Associa-
tion of Colleges and Preparatory Schools of the South-
ern States. The College will furnish sets of the ques-
tions (1) to teachers not connected with accredited
schools, (2) to accredited schools, and (3) to other
preparatory schools or High Schools which may have
students preparing for Agnes Scott, and recommend
that these examinations be set on the dates assigned
as the regular final examinations. The examination
papers with pledge attached and endorsed by the
Principal should be mailed to the President.
These examinations may also be taken at the Col-
lege at the dates appointed in May, and will take the
place of entrance examinations in September. Stu-

A condition indicates that certain work remains
to be completed before the student can receive credit
for a particular course. Ordinarily it will require
a year to remove the condition. When a condition
is imposed the student is furnished with a written
statement of the amount of work to be done and the
time allowed for its accomplishment. A degree stu-
dent is allowed only two conditions. It is expected
that she will take one of the subjects in which she is
conditioned the first session of her attendance. The
other condition must be removed within the time pre-
scribed. When a degree student has only one condi-
tion it must be removed by the beginning of the fol-
lowing session. Irregular students are allowed only

A. Inorganic Chemistry. — This course con-
sists of lectures, recitations and laboratory work,
using Remsen's Inorganic Chemistry (Briefer
Course) as a basis. The course is designed to give
such general knowledge of chemical facts and phe-
nomena as is the prerequisite of 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. This work in the laboratory
is given particularly to the preparation of the non-
metals and their compounds, to the study of their
properties and the fundamental reactions involved,
and to the preparation and purification of the more
important salts of the metals. At least ten quantita-
tive experiments are required to impress the import-
ance of accuracy in the verification of the simplest
laws. The students are carefully trained in the con-
struction, mounting and manipulation of apparatus.
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 im-
portant factor in the determination of class standing.
Students applying for admission to higher classes
must furnish evidence of systematic laboratory work
in Chemistry. Laboratory books must be presented
before the student is admitted to examination.
Text-books: Remsen's Inorganic Chemistry (Briefer

4- department of ^ftps^ical SDraining*
The course of Physical Training used in Agnes
Scott College is the Swedish or Ling system of gym-
nastics. The College endeavors to offer a broad cur-
riculum fully abreast with the best institutions,
hence, this addition has been made a special feature
of the student's life. Each student is required to un-
dergo a careful physical examination before being
allowed to enter this department. In addition, the
College Physician makes a thorough test of the heart
and lungs of any students presented by the Director.
Great care is taken in order that the work may be
graded to suit both general and individual needs. To
this end the course consists of two departments — the -^
Educational, and the Corrective. The former meets
general needs, while the latter is adapted to the indi-
vidual.
In the Educational department the work is sys-
tematized to consist of a progressive day's order.
This schedule permits of mild exercises at first,
gradually strengthening as the work progresses.
Games are introduced with the idea of development

of accuracy, skill, endurance, moral training, and
finally, hygienic results. In these are included bas-
ket-ball, field hockey, and tennis, all of which are
played out of doors when the weather permits. Those
engaging in basket-ball will receive very careful at-
tention, as there are the proper facilities for guarding
against injurious results. Only those physically
sound will be allowed to engage in this delightful
game, played under careful supervision, and accord-
ing to rules adopted by all the leading women's col-
leges. The Director will endeavor to make the work
attractive and pleasing to the students, at the same
time paying strict attention to their physical condi-
tion and well-being. All students are required to
enter this department (unless excused by a physi-
cian's certificate) for two lessons a week, for which
no extra charge is made; anything more than this
is extra.
The Corrective department aims to give exercises
for the correction of faulty carriage and postures,
flat foot, and spinal curvature. Only students hav-
ing such abnormalities are placed in this work at the
discretion of the Director. An extra charge is made
for this individual attention.

The gymnasiimi was completed January 1, 1904.
It is a three-story brick structure, 40x80 feet. The
gymnasium proper, thoroughly ventilated and lighted,
is on the ground floor and is 40x60 feet, with eighteen-
foot ceiling. ' At one end of this room and opening
into it is the natatorium, 40x20 feet with swimming-
pool and shower-baths. The second story, with front
entrance from outside, contains recitation-rooms, and
the third story, recitation and music-rooms. The

ing has been rearranged so that it is admirably
adapted to its purpose.
A bath-room with hot and cold water, and with
sanitary plumbing is conveniently located on each
floor. The building is lighted by electricity, and
electric call-bells connect each room with the nurse's
room. The rooms are large, well heated and lighted.
The Alumnse have undertaken to donate this most
important improvement. In recognition of their
generosity and affectionate interest in their Alma
Mater, the Trustees have named the building The
Alumnse Infirmary. Although Agnes Scott's health
record cannot be surpassed, yet sickness is likely to
occur anywhere, and parents will doubtless appre-
ciate the importance of this Infirmary, which in its
equipment and appointments is an admirable private
sanitarium.
This building, a two-story frame structure, was
rearranged and enlarged by the owners, and equipped
with modem conveniences, steam heat, electric lights,
sanitary plumbing, and hot and cold water. It con-
tains twenty-five bed-rooms, and study-hall, and has
wide verandas on three sides. This building will

end of the present session over twelve hundred dol-
lars' worth of new books will be added. Every de-
partment of the College has added a list of the most
valuable reference books. The whole collection is
standard, choice, and modern, containing a minimum
of rubbish. Arrangements have been made to have
the books catalogued according to the most modern
card system, thus rendering them easily available
for reference and for all purposes. Two librarians
will have charge of the library both to assist students
in the best use of the books and also to enforce neces-
sary rules.
The Reading-Room is supplied with a large selec-
tion of choice periodicals, including the leading mag-
azines, scientific, educational, literary, music, and
art journals, and also quite a number of the best
church papers.
In addition to the general College library, mention
should be made of the Scientific library in Science
Hall, and the small but excellent libraries belonging
to the two literary societies.
The Laboeatoeies are located in Science Hall
and comprise Chemical, Physical, Biological, and
Mineralogical Laboratories.
The Chemical Laboeatoey is well equipped for
general experimentation, having a good stock of in-
organic and organic chemicals, a complete assortment
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 draw-

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.
The Physical. Laboratory is equipped with some
very valuable apparatus and with a well-selected sup-
ply of simpler apparatus. The laboratory desks are
furnished with water and gas. Constant additions
year by year, are increasing the thoroughness of this
department.
The Biological Laboratory occupies a beauti-
fully lighted room on the second floor of Science Hall.
Here are found the best compound microscopes, dis-
secting implements, microtomes, staining and imbed-
ding apparatus, constant temperature baths, cages for
insect culture, acquaria, and many other conveniences
for the study of animal and plant life. The museum
contains a collection of type specimens for zoological
study, and a complete herbarium of the flowering
plants in Georgia is in course of preparation by the
students of botany.

No student will be received for less than a full
term, or the portion of the term remaining after en-
trance. The Professors are engaged and all arrange-
ments made for the scholastic year, and the College
obligates itself to furnish the advantages thus pro-
vided, for the session. The entering of a student is
a corresponding obligation on the part of the patron
to continue her to the end of the session. In the
event of withdrawal on account of siclcness the amount
paid for board and laundry in advance of date of
leaving will be refunded, hut not amount paid for

ness. This arrangement is made entirely in the in-
terest of our patrons. The economy of the plan is
seen in this, that the attendance of the physician for
the session is secured for an amount charged by a
city pliysician for a single visit to Decatur.
In cases of protracted sickness or contagious dis-
eases parents must provide a nurse at their own ex-
pense.
The college furnishes free of charge simple medi-
cines, but all prescriptions must be paid for by stu-
dents.
Xo DEDUCTION FOR ANY CAUSE WILL BE ALLOWED

All drafts, checks and money orders should be
made payable to F. H. Gaines, President. If remit-
tance is by local check, add twenty-five cents for ex-
change.
It is recommended that a deposit of $10.00 be
made with the bookkeeper to pay for books and sta-
tionery. These are sold at the College at city prices
for cash. Patrons must not ask to have them charged
and put on their bill, as no accounts are opened on
our books for charges of this kind.
Agnes Scott is not an expensive school, and it is
hoped that parents will make only moderate allow-
ance to their daughters for spending money. When
money is deposited with the treasurer for students
it is paid out on their checks, and no other account
is kept by the College except cancelled checks.
The College will not advance money to students.

Jfurniture.
The College supplies the students' rooms with bed-
stead, bureau, wardrobe, washstand, chairs, mattress,
pillows and crockery. Each student should bring
with her sheets, blankets, counterpanes, pillow-cases
(35x22), towels, napkins, napkin-ring, teaspoon, and
any other articles, as rugs, curtains, etc., of use or
ornament desired for her room. The bed-clothing
should be the size used for double or three-quarter
beds.
All articles, including trunks, must be plainly and
durably marked with the name of the owner. Fail-
ure to comply with this requirement causes confusion
and loss.
(general ^Regulations;.
Every effort is made to give the College the char-
acter of a Christian home. Professors and students
constitute one household. Care is taken to render
the home-life of the student not only attractive, but
conducive to the cultivation of those graces which
mark refined women. Only such restrictions are
thrown around the students as are considered import-
ant for their health, safety, and improvement. Im-
portance is attached to the cultivation of that consid-
erate regard for the wishes and feelings of others
which leads to courteous deportment.
A student who persistently fails to conform to the
regulations of the College and whose influence is in-
jurious to others will not be permitted to remain.
84
GENERAL INFORMATION,
Punctuality and regularity in attendance upon
class-work is essential to success, and unnecessary
absences are taken into consideration in estimating
class grades.
Frequent visiting has been found a serious dis-
traction, and is discouraged.
It is desirable that dressmaking, dentistry, and
vaccination be attended to at home, that the time,
strength, and thought of the student may be given
to the special objects for which she has entered the
College.
For every waiter sent to a student's room except
by order of the Nurse there will be a charge of 25
cents.
Mtt^^ of Hie CoUege.

Agnes Scott belongs to this class. The following are
some of its pressing needs:
An- Administeation Buildiitg. — To contain

Two literary societies contribute much to the so-

are valuable as a means of cultivating ease of man-

literature, and of developing social and literary gifts.
The Mnemosynean Society was organized in Oc-
tober, 1891, and the Propylean in May, 1897.
These societies have beautiful and attractive halls
in the College. They meet once a week, and their
programs consist of readings, recitations, essays, de-
bates, and music.
These Societies are using their funds year by year
in the building up of excellent libraries for the bene-
fit of their members.

(General Statement,
The highest authorities in education are emphatic
in advising the separation of preparatory and college
work. The advantages are obvious. The two classes
of students require a different kind of instruction
and different discipline. Accordingly this separa-
tion was made last session in classification, faculty,
work and other important features. The completion
of the Rebekah Scott Hall will render it practicable
to make the separation more distinct.
The first year of the course as it stood in the last
catalogue will be discontinued. The object is to
make the Academy a classical school of high grade
with a four-years' course. This course has been very
carefully arranged after the best modern methods,
and will be adapted to meet two felt needs: (1) To
give a thorough preparation for college, (2) To give
a course of real educational value to girls not pre-
pared for college, nor expecting to go to college, and
yet who desire the advantages of a high-grade school.
The same high ideals which have always character-
ized Agnes Scott will continue in the Academy. The
curriculum will be kept abreast of the best College-
Preparatory schools. The most improved modern
methods will be used in all educational work. Only
teachers of high and special qualifications will be em-
ployed. A high standard of scholarship will be en-
forced.
103
AGNES SCOTT ACADEMY.
31^eligiou£( Jfeaturess.
Girls in the Academy are at that period of life
and education most important for the formation and
development of character. Hence every thoughtful
parent will desire to know what are the religious fea-
tures of the Agnes Scott Academy. The chief end
of the Academy, as of the College, is the glory of
God. The indispensable qualification of every
teacher employed is Christian character. The Bible
is a text-book. The daily sessions of the school are
opened with religious exercises. The earnest effort
is made to fill the Home and the School with a spir-
itual atmosphere. On Sabbath the resident students
attend the Sabbath-school in the College chapel, con-
ducted by the Faculty of the College and Academy.
Cnbironment
The environment of a girl in the Academy will
be of great importance. She lives in an atmosphere
of refinement, scholarship, and religion. She asso-
ciates with the teachers and students of the College.
She feels the throb of College life. The ambition
and desire for higher education are awakened. The
College is always before her as a final goal.

A student who desires to enter any of the higher
classes must stand examinations on the studies below
the class for which she applies. Even then the assign-
ment will be only temporary, until the pupil satisfies
the teacher of ability to do the work satisfactorily.
Students from schools accredited by the Academy
need not take the examinations if they bring certifi-
cates of proficiency from their former instructors.

Besitription of Courj^ea of S>tubp*
College Preparatory. — This course has been ar-
ranged to give thorough preparation for the Fresh-
man Class of the College. It contains all the sub-
jects required for entrance, gives to each the time
demanded, and covers the ground in each subject the
College requires. This course, therefore, meets the
demands of that class of students who expect to enter
college. It will not only enable them to enter with-
out condition, but also fully prepare for the work
before them.
General Course, — ISTot every girl expects to en-
ter college. A large number for various reasons
will not go to college. This course is designed
to give a good elementary training to this large class.
The effort has been made to offer electives of equal
educational value to the subject for which they are
substituted. Two options are offered, (1) a modern
language, (2) an English course including one science
and history.
Grammar and Composition. — Effort is made to
give the pupil a thorough knowledge of Grammar
and to teach the methods of simple, direct and ac-
curate expression. The study of the principles of
108
COURSES OF STUDY,
composition is not left to the third and fourth years ;
from the beginning, the pupil is led to frame simple
generalization for her own guidance. Much com-
position work is done in each of the four years. In
addition to written work in class, formal weekly
themes are required.
Literature and Reading, — In general the object
is fourfold; (1) to secure a ready apprehension of
thought and feeling from the printed page and to
give to them correct vocal expression; (2) to culti-
vate the power to give corect vocal expression 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.
Much of the class-work consists of reading aloud,
although thorough training in reading is presupposed.
Pupils are required also, from time to time, to mem-
orize passages from the selections studied. In addi-
tion books are assigned for home reading.

Third Yeab.. — The class takes up the study of
man's physical environment. It is chiefly concerned
in the study of those features of the earth that exer-
cise a control over the development and habits of the
human race. The causes of varying climatic condi-
tions, the movements of the ocean waters, the differ-
ent land forms, are all carefully explained. In con-
nection with the class-work the student is given an
opportunity to observe the typical land forms of the
vicinity, and is taught to find in them illustrations
of the various activities mentioned in the text. The
text-book is Davis's Elements of Physical Geography.
This course includes a study of the main systems
of the body, muscles and nerves, nutrition, and the

special sense organs. Instruction is given by text-
book and lectures.
The aim of the course is to teach the student the
fundamental principles of Physiology and Hygiene
in their practical application to daily life.

attendance be regular and punctual to tlie closing
day. Sickness or any other unavoidable cause are
the only excuses accepted for absence. The amount
of work to be done and the time assigned in which to
accomplish it makes regular attendance necessary to
the progress of the pupil. The work missed during
absence must be made up in a way that will be satis-
factory to the teachers.
Excuses. — Written excuses giving reasons for ab-
sences are required in all cases. When no excuse is
presented or when the excuse is not considered suffi-
cient, the absence is marked unexcused. Four points
for every unexcused absence are deducted from the
monthly average.
Tuition in the Academy or in the College for the
next session will be given to the student who makes
the highest general average above 90. The scholar-
ship is not transferable and is good only for the
session immediately succeeding the one for which

^ugsesJtions( to parents;.
The success of students 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 ac-
cept the conditions as defined in the catalogue.
117
AGNES SCOTT ACADEMY.
Every expressed wish of parents is met so far as
is consistent with the general good.
A student who persists in disobedience or disre-
spect, or even neglect of duty, and who is evidently
gaining no good herself and is hindering others, is
not permitted to remain in the Academy.
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 before final examinations, except
for urgent reasons. Such withdrawals seriously in-
terrupt the progress of the student, are positively in-
jurious to the classes, and tend to distract the whole
school.
Parents can not give their daughters permission
to do what is prohibited, nor to omit what is required,
by the rules of the school.
Parents are requested to consult with the Prin-
cipal before excusing their daughters from exami-
nations, 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.
Frequent visiting is a serious distraction and only
occasional visits will be permitted.
Callers are received at such hours as do not con-
flict with school duties.
Gentlemen must present letters of introduction
from parents or guardians.
118
SUGGESTIONS TO PARENTS.
A chaperon is provided for all necessary visits
to Atlanta. At other times suitable attendance may
be secured at a reasonable charge.
Effort is made to maintain a proper observance of
the Sabbath. Students are not expected to receive
callers except near relatives on that day.
It is desirable that dressmaking, dentistry, and
vaccination be attended to at home, that the time,
strength and thought of the student may be given
to the special objects for which she has entered
school.
The dress of schoolgirls should be simple and in-
expensive. It is important that every outfit should
include overshoes, raincoat, and umbrella.
The proper address for telegrams and letters is
in care of Agnes Scott Academy, Decatur, Ga.
All letters on business concerning the admission
or dismission of students, concerning any of the de-
partments of instruction, concerning the general man-
agement and conduct of the Academy, or applications
for catalogues should be addressed to the President
of the College.
Letters concerning the students and progress in
their studies should be addressed to the Principal.
Letters concerning the health of students, room
and room-mates should be addressed to the Lady
Principal of the College.
