GENERAL INFORMATION.
BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS.
Swarthmore College was founded by members

of the religious

Society of Friends, in order to provide the children of the Society
and others Avith opportunities for higher education under guarded
care.

acres

With this object in view, a property of two hundred and forty
was secured in a rural district ten miles from Philadelphia, on

the Central Division of the Philadelphia, Wilmington, and Baltimore
Eailroad. It is accessible b}^ trains, from the Broad Street Station,
sixteen times daily.

About half the land

is

used for farming pur-

the remainder is
devoted to lawn and pleasure grounds. Crum Creek, which forms
the western boundary of the property, affords facilities for boating,

stream is of great picturesque beauty. The building site is high,
thus securing perfect drainage and pure air, and commanding a fine
view of the surrounding country for many miles.
The Principal College Building is a massive stone structure
348 feet long. It consists of a central building four stories high,
containing public rooms such as Lecture-rooms, Museum, Library,
Eeading Eoom, Parlors, Dining Hall, etc. Fire-proof compartments
separate this building from the
stories high.

rooms the remaining floors in the East Wing contain the dormitories
of the young women, and in the West Wing, those of the young men.
;

The sexes mingle

freely under proper care in the class-rooms, parlors,
and dining hall. The instructors reside in the same building with the
students, and the relations between them are such that there is comparative freedom from the dangers and temptations ordinarily incident to college life. The buildings are heated throughout by steam,
lighted by gas, and thoroughly ventilated.
The Science Hall is constructed of stone, in the most durable
manner, and was planned with special reference to the work of
students in Engineering, Pliysics, and Chemistry. The centre building has a frontage of 44 feet, and a depth of 64 feet the wings are

LABORATORIES AND APPARATUS.
The Astronomical Observatory

contains three rooms: a
which is placed an instrument of three inches aperture, also the mean-time clock, the chronograph and the barometer;
a pier-room, which is at present utilized as a sidei-eal clock- room and
work-room; and tlie dome, containing the equatorial of six inches
aperture. In connection with this latter instrument there is a micrometer and a spectroscope. The transit and equatorial were constructed by Warner and Swasey, of Cleveland, and the spectroscope
by Hrasbear, of Allegheny.

The

Biological Laboratory is well lighted by windows on the
heated by steam and supplied with- all the appliances,
microscopical and otherwise, needed for the work carried on. A conservatory and numerous small aquaria furnish a constant supply of
material for study, both in the course in Biology and in advanced
Botany.
The Chemical Laboratory occupies rooms in Science Hall.
It includes a room for work in general Chemistry and Qualitative
Analysis, one for Quantitative Analysis, and a basement room for
Assaying and Metallurg}^. Near to these are store-rooms, a balanceroom, and a lecture-room. The Laboratory tables are covered with
glazed tiles and fume-closets, suction for filtration water and gas are
provided. The Lecture-room, with a seating capacity of one hundred, is furnished with water, gas, fume-closets, and abundant apparatus for lecture purposes, including a nearly complete set of the
apparatus devised by Dr. Hofmann, of Berlin. For lecture illustration there is an excellent collection of the metals and their salts, and
a cabinet of minerals (deposited by Hugh Foulke) in addition to
these, there has recently arrived from C. F. Kahlbaum, of Berlin, a
complete set of typical preparations for use in the course in Organic
Chemistry.
The Draughting Rooms of the Engineering Department, in
Science Hall, and the room for free drawing and painting, in the main

adjustable tables, models, etc., are well ventilated and warmed, and
are open for work during the greater part of the day.
The Mechanical Laboratory includes several shops, in which
the students become familiar with the nature and properties of the
materials of construction (iron, wood, brass, etc.) employed by the
engineer, and with the processes of working them into the desired
forms for their intended uses. They consist of
The Machine- Shop, containing an Olsen's testing machine, arranged for tensile, compressive, and transverse tests, and an excellent and complete assortment of tools, including 4 screw-cutting engine-lathes, 3 speed-lathes (simple and back-geared), an iron planer,
a complete universal milling machine, a set of milling cutters
adapted for general purposes and for making other cutters, a shaper,
a twist-drill grinder, 2 upright drills, an emery grinder, a mill

COURSES OF STUDY.
In arranging the courses of study, while recognizing the fatCt
human knowledge is so vast that he who would
succeed best must confine his attention chiefly to some chosen field,
we have endeavoi'ed not to lose sight of the equally important fact
that those are best equipped for work in any particular department
who have the most extended view of the realm of learning as a whole.

SCHOOL.

THE PREPARATORY SCHOOL.
This school

is

intended to prepare students for the Freshman

Class in the College, or to furnish a good practical education to those

desiring a shorter course.

Instruction is given in Arithmetic, Algebra, and Geometry; in
Astronomy, Physics, Chemistry', Natural History, and Physical
Geography; in Eeading and Speaking; in Geography and History;
in the English, French, German, and Latin Languages; and in
Manual Training. In the subject last mentioned, there are two lines
of instruction, one in Drawing, including penmanshijD, and the other
a course in Shop-practice. The Drawing consists of: 1. Free-hand
drawing, designed to educate the sense of form and proportion; to
teach the eye to observe accurately, and to train the hand to delineate
rapidly the forms of existing objects, or of ideal ones. 2. Mechanical
Drawing, including the use of instruments and materials, the construction of geometrical problems, and the study of projections, plans,
elevations, sections, intersections, and developments.
The Shop-work consists of courses of instruction in carpentry
and joineiy, wood-carving, wood-turning, and pattern making in
forging, drawing out, upsetting, bending, punching, and welding iron
and steel in making and tempering tools in moulding and casting
All the exei'cises are purely
in plaster, type-metal, brass, and iron.

expected that parents will not ask to have the course
modified, except in the case of the few whose health will not admit
of their doing the full amount of work prescribed.
Pupils preparing for the College course in Arts, should take the

(See Course in
Engineering, images 42-43.)
Members of the First and Second Classes, who are over 18 years
of age. may attend the College lectures on Pedagogics.
Those who

expect to teach the following year may substitute, for a part of the
regular work, a thorough review of Arithmetic and the other ele-

mentary branches usually included

in the

examination of teachers

for the public schools.

In arranging the course of study, we have had in view a complete
and harmonious organization of all Friends' schools throughout the
country and it is hoped that committees and teachers of these
schools will unite with us in securing this very important end. In
all Friends' schools whose grade is so adjusted that certain classes,
in the judgment of the Faculty, correspond with ours, students who
complete the course of study in any class will be admitted to the
class in this school, corresponding with the next higher in their own,
without re-examination, on presenting certificates to that effect from
;

the Principals of their respective schools.
