Agnes Scott College 13 AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE The purpose which has prevailed at Agnes Scott since its foundation has been to offer the very best educational advan- tages under positive Christian influences—^the training and furnishing of the mind in a modern^, well-equipped college, and at the same time the formation and development of Christian character and ideals. Along with these ends, it is constantly sought to cultivate true womanliness, a womanli- ness which combines strength with gentleness and refinement. It is thus the aim of the College to send out educated Chris- tian women to be a power in blessing the world and glorifying God. The College was founded by Presbyterians, and hence its moral standards and religious life conform as nearly as pos- sible to those which obtain in that church. Special care, however, is taken not to interfere in any way with the relig- ious views or church preferences of students. The College offers only the B. A. degree. There are, how- ever, optional courses leading to this degree, thus giving the opportunity for each student to elect a course most in accord with her special talent and plans. : : 14 Agnes Scott College ADMISSION OF STUDENTS All correspondence in reference to admission of students should be addressed to the President of the College. Applicants for admission should not be under sixteen years of age. Candidates for advanced standing should be of an age corresponding to this rule. Exceptions are allowed for satisfactory reasons.

A deposit of $10.00 is necessary for the reservation of space, vrhich amount will be credited on bill- rendered at beginning of session.
