Agnes Scott College - Silhouette Yearbook (Decatur, GA)

Page 9 text:

aml m0ie During the first fifty years of the Hfe of Agnes Scott, a fully accredited senior college has sprung from the Decatur Female Seminary. The phys- ical equipme nt of the institution has kept pace with its educational progress, so that the staff of the Silhouette of 1940, published in a year of campaigning and of building, has chosen to interpret its material through the medium of the buildings on our campus. We can trace the history of the development of our campus from one small frame struc- ture to those which are standing now; and we can look ahead with anticipation to the day when the plans for Greater Agnes Scott will be realized. That day which seems remote will come eventually, for we are a college never satisfied with the present, ever looking to the future. mj .yym

FOREWORD I ' d rather be a Hottentot Than a tiiititi, multi-millionaire, I ' d rather be a Hottentot Than sit in the President ' s chair; It ' s the grandest place that yon ever did sec, If you don ' t believe it just come ivith me; I ' d rather be a Hottentot Than a midti, multi-millionaire. Vivid though the incidents of college life may seem to us today, time will make them fade from our memories. It is to prevent such forgetful- ness that the staff of the 1940 Silhouette has spent its thought, effort, and time in the publication of a book which endeavors to record perma- nently the events of this year at Agnes Scott. If, as you turn the pages of this book long after graduation, you recognize familiar faces, and humming to yourself the catchy Hottentot song, you feel a nostalgic pang for the good ole days at Agnes Scott, the staff of the Silhouette will feel that it has achieved its purpose.
