The occasion was marked by the usual academic procession o f guests, faculty, students, and prospec­ tive students down to and including the Class o f 1935; by ad­ dresses in the out-door auditorium; by a Tea and Reception to the invited guests in the L ibrary; by the planting o f an oak tree on the campus; by a foot-ball game with Franklin and Marshall and by a play presented in the evening by the students in Parish Hall. In order to indicate the historical union and co-operation of the two Quaker commonwealths o f Pennsylvania and Delaware, the governors o f these two states participated in the programme o f exercises in the out-door auditorium. Robert M. Janney, President o f the Board of Managers, gave an introductory ad­ dress in which he outlined the ideals o f the Quaker founders o f both the state and college. Governor Miller made a historical address on the important and permanent value of William Penn’s contributions to the law and government of Delaware. Governor Brumbaugh dwelt upon the great Quaker and American ideals o f conduct in personal and social life, and in the development of education both public and private. This cooperation o f the chief executives of Pennsylvania and Delaware in celebrating the occasion was further emphasized by their joint planting o f an oak tree in the Presidents’ and Gov­ ernors’ Row bn the College Campus. The celebration o f Founders ’ Day this year may therefore be considered somewhat in the light o f a precedent for the future cooperation o f all three of the Quaker commonwealths, namely, Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey; and perhaps the occa­ sion may be so widened in the future as to provide for the expression o f the fundamental ideals in the founding o f other American commonwealths as well. (3) 4 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN BEQUESTS AND G IFTS B y the will of the late Wilson M. Powell, o f New York, one thousand dollars was bequeathed to the College, and this amount has been added to the General Endowment Fund. The class of 1894 made a gift to the College on the twentieth anniversary o f their graduation, o f an avenue o f scarlet oaks bordering the walk from the railway station to Wharton Hall, and about two hundred conifers, deciduous trees and shrubs which have been planted on the southwest campus. W H A RTO N H A LL The third and last section o f Wharton Hall, the men’s dormi­ tory, is now being built and it is expected that the building will be ready for use in September, 1916. When the new section is completed there will be quarters for about two hundred and ten men in residence, which with the day students would provide for two hundred and fifty men. The plans call for two large rooms in the basement of the new section. These rooms will be used for meeting places for the men.

(25) SWARTHMORE COLLEGE LOCATION AND FOUNDATION The Borough o f Swarthmore is situated southwest o f Phila­ delphia on the Central Division of the Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington Railroad. It is eleven miles from Broad Street Station, with which it is connected by twenty-three inbound and twenty-six outbound trains daily, the running time o f which varies from nineteen minutes on express schedule to thirty min­ utes on the local schedule. Three trolley lines, running cars at twenty-minute intervals, also connect with Philadelphia elevated and surface lines. The college buildings and campus occupy a commanding posi­ tion upon a hill not far from the center o f the town. The view includes several miles of the Delaware River, the nearest point of which is about four miles distant. The college property com­ prises over two hundred acres of ground, including a large tract o f woodland and the beautiful rocky valley o f Crum Creek. The College was founded in 1864 through the efforts o f mem­ bers o f the Religious Society of Friends, for the purpose of securing to the youth o f the Society an opportunity fo r higher educational training under the guarded supervision and care of those of their own religious faith. Other applicants are ad­ mitted upon the same terms as Friends, and nothing o f a sec­ tarian character exists in the instruction or in the management o f the College. According to its first charter, membership on the Board of Managers of the College was limited to persons belong­ ing to the Society o f Friends. The purpose o f this restriction was not to establish sectarian control, but to prevent forever the possibility o f such control by any sectarian element which might otherwise have come to be represented on the Board. This restriction is now believed to he no longer needed and is omitted from the revised charter. The intention o f its founders was to make the promotion o f Christian character the first considera­ tion, and to provide opportunities for liberal culture while main( 26) BUILDINGS 27 taining a high standard o f scholarship. These aims have been faithfully observed in the administration of the institution. BUILDINGS Parrish Hall is a massive stone structure, with its central por­ tion separated from the two wings by fireproof compartments. The central building, three hundred and forty-eight feet long and five stories high, furnishes assembly room, lecture rooms, museum, parlors, dining hall, and offices. The wings are four stories high. The ground floor o f each wing is used fo r lecture and recitation rooms; the remaining floors contain the dormi­ tories of the women students. The Dean o f Women and several instructors and matrons reside in the building. Wharton Hall, the dormitory for young men, named in honor of its donor, Joseph Wharton, late President o f the Board of Managers, was opened fo r occupancy at the beginning o f the college year 1904-05. The portion o f the building thus far com­ pleted accommodates one hundred and twenty-five students. The total capacity o f the hall will’ be about two hundred. It stands in the west campus on the same ridge as Parrish Hall, and com­ mands a fine view o f the Delaware River valley. The Hall of Physics and Engineering is a two-story stone building with basement, one hundred and sixty-two by sixtyfour feet, devoted to the departments of Physics and Engineer­ ing. It contains lecture and recitation rooms, electrical, phys­ ical and engineering laboratories, draughting rooms, engine and boiler rooms. A ll departments are well equipped, and new ap­ paratus and machinery are added as occasion demands. The Hall of Chemistry, which was completed in 1904, is a red brick building two stories high, one hundred and four by sixtyfour feet, and contains a finished basement. The basement has an assay laboratory furnished with wind and muffle furnaces; a fireproof combustion room, a laboratory for gas analysis, a photometric dark room, large stock room, and cloak and toilet rooms. On the first floor are offices, and laboratories for quan­ titative analysis and fo r general chemistry. The large amphi­ theater lecture room, seating one hundred persons and extend­ ing to the basement, is reached from this floor. The second 28 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN floor contains the organic laboratory, the laboratory for qualita­ tive analysis, the laboratory for physical chemistry, the labora­ tory for electrolytic chemistry, and the library. Two balance rooms, one on the first floor and one on the second floor, contain balances mounted on columns built independently o f the founda­ tions and floors o f the building. The laboratories are splendidly equipped with all the necessary modem apparatus. The chem­ ical library contains a well-selected list of scientific and technical books pertaining to chemistry, and complete sets o f five of the leading chemical journals. Through the generosity of Mrs. Peter T. Berdan, the library has received a complete set o f the publi­ cations o f the London Chemical Society, and a set o f the Journal of the London Society of Chemical Industry, presented by Mrs. Berdan as a memorial to her son, Frederick T. Berdan, a mem­ ber of the Class o f 1890. The Sprout Astronomical Observatory, equipped by Senator William Cameron Sproul, ’91, stands on the site formerly occu­ pied by the President’s house, and contains nine rooms. On the first floor are an office, a departmental library, a computation room, two class rooms, and a shop room. On the second floor are a modem lecture room seating seventy-five persons, a dark room, and the dome room. The dome is a steel structure covered with copper, forty-five feet in diameter. It is revolved by an electric motor. Practically all the classes o f the department of Mathematics and Astronomy, and some classes o f other depart­ ments, are held in the Observatory. The chief instrument o f the equipment is an equatorial re­ fractor o f twenty-four inches aperture, and thirty-six feet focal length, the mounting and optical parts o f which were made by the John A. Brashear Co., Ltd. The mounting is modern and convenient, motors being provided for winding the clock and moving the telescope. The driving clock is electrically controlled. A disc driven by a sidereal clock situated on the north side o f the pier reads right ascensions directly. The telescope is provided with the usual oculars, helioscope, position micrometer, double­ slide plateholder, and a ray filter. There is also a photographic telescope o f nine inches aper­ ture and forty-five inches focal length, mounted after the de­ sign of the Bruce telescope at Yerkes Observatory. The instru- BUILDINGS 29 ment is provided with a heavy mounting, a heavy driving clock, coarse and fine position circles, a guide telescope, and such other accessories as make it an effective and convenient instrument. There is also a measuring engine fo r measuring five-by-seven photographic plates, and a blink microscope. Stephen Loines has recently given to the observatory a Polar Equatorial, a new type o f telescope, designed and built by the AIvan Clark and Sons’ Corporation. W ith this type of tele­ scope the observer is enabled to make his observations while seated in a warm room. It is housed in the Sproul Observatory. The Students’ Astronomical Observatory, situated on the campus a short distance southeast o f Parrish Hall, is especially equipped for the purposes of instruction. It contains a refract­ ing telescope of six inches aperture, mounted equatorially, fitted with the usual accessories, including a position micrometer and a very good spectroscope. The observatory also contains a tran­ sit instrument o f three inches aperture, a mean time and a side­ real clock and a chronograph. Mounted in a room adjoining the transit room is a Milne seismograph, presented by Joseph Wharton, which records photographically all vibrations o f the crust of the earth. The latest addition to this observatory build­ ing contains the photographic telescope referred to above. The Library Building. On the lower east campus, near the Benjamin West House, stands the Library, a fine specimen o f the English Scholastic Gothic style. This Library was built and furnished from the $50,000 generously presented to the College by Mr. Andrew Carnegie and is maintained from the income on a like sum subscribed by several friends o f the College. The building is constructed o f local granite, with terra cotta and Indiana limestone trimmings and was erected under the super­ vision of Mr. Edward L. Tilton, o f New York. In the second story of the massive entrance tower, is a large fireproof apart­ ment, which contains the Friends’ Historical Library; in the third story, are placed the Westminster chimes o f four bells and the Seth Thomas Clock presented to the College in June, 1910, by Mr. Morris L. Clothier in commemoration of the twentieth anniversary of the graduation o f the class o f 1890. The first floor of the main building contains a stack room and a large, well-lighted reading room finished in dark oak. The reading 30 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN room is two stories high, with a gallery round three sides. On this gallery open the seminar rooms and the tower room devoted to the Friends’ Historical Library; below are alcoves contain­ ing reference books and other hooks in common use. The Engineering Building. This building is o f concrete block construction with reinforced concrete floors, columns and stairs. It is three stories high, and one hundred and twelve feet long by fifty feet wide. In architectural design it is simple and effective, representing the latest and best type of factory build­ ing construction. The ground floor contains a room used for experimental and research work on the heat treatment o f metals, a store room fo r stock and equipment, a vault for records, a lava­ tory, and a locker room equipped with steel lockers. But the main part o f this floor is divided between the forge and the foun­ dry, furnished with a modern equipment o f down-draft forges that is one o f the chief advantages of the building. On each o f the three shop floors is a large tool room centrally located. These rooms, similar in construction, have wire-mesh partitions and doors through which an unobstructed view of the entire floor may be obtained from any position. On the second floor are an office fo r the shop, an office for records o f the department, a lecture room, and a stock room. Here too is located the main shop which has, besides its comple­ ment of metal-working machines, a large equipment o f especially designed benches for vise work. The third floor, which is similar in plan and dimensions, is equipped for pattern-making and general woodworking. A room on this floor which is used as a reading room and workshop li­ brary, contains a large number o f technical periodicals and such books of reference as are constantly required by engineering students. On this floor is located a large motor fo r operating the elevator and the power machinery, and an additional motor which operates a saw-bench independently. A large double stack, constructed like the walls, o f concrete blocks, passes up the center of the west side wall. One flue of this stack is used for the forges, and the other for a smelting furnace. Two smaller stacks, placed on the opposite side wall, are intended mainly for ventilation. The building is covered with a slag roof, and, with the ex- BUILDINGS 31 ception o f the roof and some wooden partitions on the third floor, is entirely fireproof; the openings from the stair areaway are protected by fire doors. The building is heated by steam radiation operated on the Webster vacuum system, and the light­ ing is entirely with electric lamps. A feature o f the various shops is that all the machinery is driven by electric motors, while the various machines are grouped on small motor drives so that long lines of countershafting are entirely avoided. The President’s House. The property on the east edge of the campus on the com er o f Elm Avenue and Cedar Lane, recently owned by W . H. Miller, has been purchased by the College and is used for the President’s house. The Wm. J. Hall Gymnasium for men is a two-story stone building. On the first floor are offices, examining room, and the main exercise hall, a room fifty by eighty feet, equipped with ap­ paratus for individual and class work and a good court for basketball. A trophy room and running track are on the second floor. In the basement are lockers, shower baths, a dressing room for visiting teams, and handball courts. Somerville Hall, erected in 1893 through the efforts of the Somerville Literary Society, is used as a gymnasium for the women. It is furnished with apparatus adapted to the Swedish system o f gymnastics. In the basement are dressing rooms, showers, and lockers for the use o f day students who take work in the department of Physical Education. Two Swimming Pools, one for the women and another for the men, were erected during the summer of 1912. These pools were presented to the College by Philip M. Sharpies. The build­ ing which contains the women’s swimming pool is connected by a corridor with Somerville Hall, and the m en’s pool is connected in like manner with the William J. Hall Gymnasium. The rooms are well ventilated and lighted; the pools are of the most modern construction. They are tiled on the sides by glazed tiling and on the bottom by hexagon vitriolized tiling. The capacity of the pools is about one hundred and fifty thousand gallons of water. Each pool is supplied with a constant flow of filtered water, which is pumped continually from the pools through the filters and returned to the pools again heated to the proper tem­ perature. Thus the water is kept in the best hygienic condition. 32 SW ARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN A number o f shower baths, five-foot steel lockers with combina­ tion locks, and offices for the supervision of the pools have been added to both buildings. A gallery in the m en’s pool provides space for visitors. The Heating and Lighting Plant. A central heat, light and power plant was erected in 1911 at a cost o f about one hundred thousand dollars. The power house is a single-story brick struc­ ture, located south o f the P. B. & W . R. R. tracks. Pour onehundred-and-twenty-five-horse-power Dillon boilers and three Harrisburg engines* operating two seventy-five-kilowatt and one fifty-kilowatt generators, have been installed. The engines are the Fleming automatic type, and are directly connected with twenty-three-hundred-volt, alternating-current generators. Heat, light and power for all college purposes are provided by the new plant. Other buildings upon the campus are the Meeting-house, the Benjamin West House (birthplace o f Benjamin West, P. R. A., erected in 1724), Cun/ningham House (the residence o f the Pro­ fessor o f Astronomy and Mathematics), six residences fo r mem­ bers o f the Faculty, a laundry building, a lodging-house fo r the domestic servants, and the necessary farm buildings. Whittier Field, the athletic ground for men, provides excel­ lent facilities for football, baseball, and lacrosse, and has also a good quarter-mile cinder track. Upon the campus are tennis courts and additional space for lacrosse and baseball. Cunningham Field, the women’s athletic ground, includes a part o f the east campus beyond Somerville Hall. This field, en­ closed by a hedge o f California privet, is divided into the three terraces which make ample provision for basketball, tennis, and English field hockey. This field was given by students, alumnfe, and friends of the College as a tribute to Susan J. Cunningham, who has for many years been closely identified with the interests of the women students o f Swarthmore. SOCIAL L IF E Swarthmore, as a coeducational institution, undertakes to provide college life in a home setting; to supply an atmosphere in which manly and womanly character may develop naturally stu dents’ s o c ie t ie s 33 and completely. The intercourse o f the students is under the care of the Dean o f Women and her assistants, who aim to make it a means o f social culture. RELIGIOUS L IF E The daily sessions of the College are opened with a gathering of students and instructors fo r the reading o f the Bible, or for some other suitable exercise, preceded and followed by a period of silence. Students under twenty-one years of age are expected to attend either Friends’ Meeting, held every First-day morning in the Meeting House, or, at the request o f their parents, the church in the borough of the religious denomination to which they belong. A class to which all students are invited is held at 9.00 on First-day mornings for the consideration o f religious subjects. Preceding the meeting there are also classes in the First-day School to which students are invited. By these means, and particularly by individual influence, and by the constant effort to maintain in the institution a spirit in harmony with the purpose o f its founders, it is believed that a proper care is exercised to mould the characters of the students in conformity with Christian standards. STU D EN TS’ SO CIETIES Two literary societies are maintained by the students: the Regular meetings are held for literary and other exercises, which afford opportunity to acquire skill in parliamentary practice and in debate. They are regarded as valuable auxiliaries in the work of the College. Each society has, under the management of its own members, but accessible to all students, a library and a reading room containing periodicals and daily papers. The total number o f books in these libraries is over four thousand. The Joseph Leidy Scientific Society has for its object keeping in touch with the results of modem investigation in Astronomy, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Engineering. A t its meetings, held monthly, announcements of recent discoveries are made by the various instructors, and their meaning and importance are Athenaeum by the men, the Somerville by the women. 3 34 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN briefly discussed. Papers are also prepared and read by the student members. The Cercle français holds frequent meetings and is open to all students in the French Department after the middle of their first year. Its object is to afford increased opportunities for acquiring a practical knowledge o f the French language. The Deutscher Verein holds occasional sessions for the purpose of affording its members a greater ease and facility in expressing themselves in idiomatic German. Students are thus brought into more positive acquaintance with German customs, amusements, music, and literature. The Mathematical and Astronomical Club is an association of students in Mathematics and allied subjects, and of instructors in Mathematics. It meets on the first and third Tuesdays of each month to discuss subjects not pertinent to the class room. The Classical Club meets once a month during the college year. Addresses and papers are given on subjects which emphasize the broader aspect of classical culture and civilization. The English Club, open to all students, meets twice a month to hold discussions and to listen to papers and addresses upon topics o f literary and dramatic interest. The Athletic Association is an organization o f the men for the encouragement o f physical training and athletic sports. The Women’s Athletic Association is a similar organization of the women students. Christian Associations. The religious life among the students is furthered by the Young M en’s and Young W om en’s Christian Associations. Formal and informal receptions and other social functions are given with the especial object o f promoting closer fellowship and a truly democratic spirit. Public meetings for worship are held every Sunday evening, the young men meet­ ing in Collection Hall and the young women in Somerville Hall. No student organization o f the College may incur any financial obligation, or make any contract involving a monetary considera­ tion, without first obtaining the sanction o f the President o f the College, or o f the proper faculty committee under whose super­ vision the organization is placed. Students contemplating a new organization must first consult the President of the College. I f he desires to grant them permission to effect such an organiza- LIBRARIES AND READING ROOMS 35 tion, he will advise the student representatives of the particular faculty committee under whose supervision the organization is placed. COLLEGE PU BLICATIONS Two periodicals are published by the students under the super­ vision of the faculty: The Phoenix, a weekly publication, is de­ voted to undergraduate journalism; the Halcyon is published annually by the Junior Class. The Swarthmore College Bulletin is published every three months and contains a record o f the matters o f permanent im­ portance in the progress of the College. L IB R A R IE S AND READ IN G ROOMS The libraries o f the College collectively contain over thirty thousand volumes. The chief sources o f income for increasing the collection in the college library are these: the Edgar Allen Brown Fund, established by his family in memory o f Edgar Allen Brown, of the Class of 1890; the Alumni Fund; and the General Library Fund. The library is open Monday to Friday, inclusive, 8.00 A. m . to 6.00 p. m . and 7.15 to 10.00 p. m . ; Saturday, 8.00 a . m . to 12.15 p . m ., 1.00 to 5.00 p. m ., and 7.15 to 10.00 p. m . Residents o f the borough o f Swarthmore are cordially invited to use the library. The Friends’ Historical Library, founded by the late Anson Lapham, o f Skaneateles, N. Y., contains a valuable and growing collection o f Friends’ books, tracts, and early writings (many very rare), photographs o f representative Friends, other objects of personal and historic interest, and manuscripts relating to the Society and its history. This collection is stored in rooms prac­ tically fireproof, and it is hoped that Friends and others will deem it a secure place in which to deposit books and other ma­ terial in their possession which may. be o f interest in connection with the history o f the Society. Such contributions are solicited, and should be addressed to the Friends’ Historical Library, or to A rthur B eardsley, Librarian, Swarthmore, Pa, The library 36 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN is accessible to all persons interested in the doctrines and history o f Friends, and ample arrangements are provided for its use for consultation and fo r reference. Moreover, the great collections of books in the Library o f the University o f Pennsylvania, the Philadelphia Library and its Ridgway Branch, the Mercantile Library, the Free Library of Philadelphia, as well as those in the special and technical libraries o f the city, are open to the use of students under proper regula­ tions. The Philadelphia library resources, which are o f especial utility in connection with the various departments o f the College, are referred to in the departmental statements. The Library and the departmental reading rooms are supplied with reference books and the leading literary, scientmc, technical journals. The following periodicals are taken by the College: A dvocate o f P eace Am erican A nthropologist Am erican Chemical Journal Am erican Econom ic Review American H istorical Review Am erican Journal o f Archceology Am erican Journal o f International Law Am erican Journal o f Mathematics Am erican Journal o f Philology Am erican Journal o f Psychology Am erican Journal o f Science Am erican Journal o f Sociology Am erican Journal o f Theology Am erican M achinist Am erican M athematical M onthly Am erican Philological Association Transactions Am erican P olitical Science Review Am erican Oxonian Am erican Scandinavian Review A nglia Annalen der Physik Annales Politiques et L ittéraires Annals o f the Am erican Academ y Annals o f M athematics A rt and Archceology Astronom ical Journal Astronom ische Nachrichten Astrophysioal Journal A tlantic Educational Journal A tlantic M onthly Autom obile, The B erichte der Deutschen Chem.

It is steadily becoming a more per­ fect means of illustrating the different departments o f biology and geology. It includes the following collections: 1. The Joseph Leidy Collection of Minerals, the result of, thirty years’ discriminating collection by its founder, consists of exceedingly valuable cabinet specimens of minerals, charac­ teristic rocks and ores, and models of the various systems of crystallization. 2. The Collection Illustmting Comparative Osteology is com­ posed o f a large series o f partial and complete skeletons, pre­ pared at Prof. Henry W a rd ’s Natural History Establishment in Rochester, N. Y . The collection illustrates the structure and framework o f vertebrates. 3. The Wilcox and Farnham Collection of Birds comprises stuffed specimens of native and foreign birds. Nearly all the species visiting this State are represented. 4. The Frederick Kohl Ethnological Collection consists of Indian implements, weapons, clothing, etc., mostly from Alaska. 5. The C. F. Parker Collection of Shells is made up o f choice typical land, fresh water, and marine shells. These specimens were all selected by the late Dr. Joseph Leidy from the exten­ sive collection o f the founder, C. P. Parker, who was for many years the Curator in charge o f the Academy o f Natural Sciences of Philadelphia. 6. The Robert R. Corson Collection of Stalactites and Stalag­ mites is composed o f specimens from the Luray Caverns, which illustrates the peculiar limestone formations o f Luray and similar districts. 7. The Eckfeldt Herbarium contains over two thousand speci­ mens illustrating the flora of Pennsylvania. The Annie Shoe­ maker Collection is a valuable addition to this. 8. The Joel Scarlet Collection of Minerals and Crystallo(39) 40 SWARTHMOKE COLLEGE BULLETIN graphic Specimens was presented to the Chemical Department by the heirs o f the late Joel Scarlet, of Kennett Square, Pa. This collection, which has been placed in cases located in the library o f the Chemical Building, consists of about three thou­ sand well-selected specimens, many rare and valuable. It is used fo r the course in Mineralogy and is accessible to students under the supervision of the instructor. In addition to the above, there is a large and constantly in­ creasing collection o f specimens of vertebrates and invertebrates (including the U. S. Pish Commission Educational Collection), o f dissected specimens fo r demonstration in the lectures on Physiology, o f glass and papier-mache models illustrating special points in vegetable and animal morphology, besides about three hundred classified diagrams and colored charts illustrating every branch o f natural history. E X P E N SE S The charge for board, room, and tuition ranges from $425 to $525, of which at least $275 is payable in advance. The remainder is due on the first of January. The charge varies in accord­ ance with the size and location of the room. Every student’s bill for the first payment is mailed before the opening of the col­ lege year, and the student is held responsible fo r prompt pay­ ment in advance. Thirty days after the opening o f college 5 per cent, will be added to all bills unpaid at that time. The bill for the second payment is mailed before the first o f January. In case bills are not paid before the end of the first semester stu­ dents owing such bills may be excluded from all college exercises for the second semester. Students withdrawing on or before the end o f the first semester receive no benefit from scholarships, as scholarships are credited at the beginning of the second semester. All students choose rooms according to date of application for admission. In order to reserve a room in any one o f the dormi­ tories each student must make a deposit o f $10 when the room is chosen. This sum will be held as a fund fo cover breakage or any other damage to college property, and the loss involved if a student fails to occupy the room reserved for him. The un­ expended balance will be returned after graduation. The tuition fee fo r non-resident students is $175 a year, of which $150 is payable in advance, and the remainder on the first of January. In case of illness no extra charge is made unless a physician or trained nurse is employed. When the connection o f a stu­ dent with the College shall, before the end o f the period for which payment has been made, be terminated by sickness or any other cause considered unavoidable by the faculty, the student may have the privilege o f sending an approved substitute for the unexpired term, or, upon making written application to the President o f the College, may receive credit for two thirds of the tuition fee fo r the unexpired term from the date o f the said application. Payments are to be made by check or draft to the order of S warthmore College, Swarthmore, Pa. (4 1 ) 42 SWABTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN DINING-ROOM RATES Per college year, $175; per month, $22; per week, $6; single breakfast or lunch, 30 cents; single dinner (except Sunday), 40 cents; Sunday dinner, 50 cents; dinners per month, $9; lunches per month, $7. The college year for instructors and administrative officers be­ gins with the Saturday preceding Registration Day, and ends with the Saturday following Commencement Day, but does not include the Christmas vacation. Instructors and officers who wish meals before the beginning or after the end o f the college year are expected to make arrangements in advance at the Superintendent’s office. The charge fo r board and room for instructors and adminis­ trative officers is $275 per year. The College is closed during the Christmas recess. Students who desire to remain in Swarthmore or its vicinity at that time may secure board at moderate charge in homes recommended by the faculty. Students who desire to remain at the College during the spring recess will be charged a proportionate sum for board. Students leaving property in any college building during the summer recess do so at their own risk. The college year for freshmen will end with the close of final examinations. Freshmen will he expected to lea/ve the College on or before Thursday preceding Commencement. Students purchase their own books, which are furnished by the College at the lowest rates obtainable. They also buy their own stationery and drawing implements, and pay a reasonable rate for laundry work done at the College. A fee of $3 a semester is charged in every laboratory science, except in Chemistry and Engineering. The fees in the department o f Chemistry and Chemical En­ gineering are as follow s: F or the course in Assaying, no fee, but students pay for all breakage and all materials used; fo r the course in Mineralogy $3 a semester; fo r all other courses in this department $10 a semester. In addition to the abovenamed fees every student graduating in the department o f Chem­ istry and Chemical Engineering is charged $25, in lieu o f fees 43 EXPENSES for apparatus and materials used, in connection with his thesis. This last named fee is payable at the beginning o f the second semester of the Senior year. A fee o f $5 a semester is charged for each course in wood­ working, forging, and machine practice; a fee of $2 a semester is charged for each course in field practice and surveying; an additional fee o f $2 is charged for the annual survey. A deposit of $5 is required for each course in shop work or founding. This deposit will be retained to cover breakage and loss o f tools or supplies, and, after deduction for such items, the balance will be refunded upon the completion o f the course. Each student is charged a fee of $1 a semester for the use of the gymnasium and swimming pools. This amount includes locker rental. In addition to the payments made directly to the College there are a number of other items of living expense such as clothing, care of health, recreation, traveling, etc., which the student must meet. The combined expenditures of both classes vary consid­ erably, o f course, from student to student. In order to ascer­ tain the limits of such variation a careful statistical inquiry was made at the end of the college year 1912-13 among a number of students, who at the beginning o f the first semester, had been requested to make detailed reports regarding their expenditures for the year. The results are presented in the following tables: Total Expenditures for College Year 1912-13. Under $500........... $500 to $600........ $600 to $700........ $700 to $ 8 0 0 .. . .. $800 to $900........ $900 to $1,000 . . . Over $1,000 .........

The average total expenditure of the thirty-nine women was $716.98; o f the sixty-four men, $704.09. It will be noted that slightly more than one half (exactly 51.5 per cent.) o f the students of both sexes in the above table spent less than $700 for the year, and nearly three fourths of them (exactly 74.8 per cent.) less than $800. Compared with other institutions situated in this part o f the country the above figures indicate a very moderate cost o f living for the great majority of Swarthmore students. None of the one hundred and three students included in thé above table was in receipt o f scholarship or other material aid from the College. In other words they were meeting all ex­ penses on their own account, and their annual totals are there­ fore considerably higher than those of students who receive financial assistance or its equivalent. A t present fellowships and scholarships (see pp. 46 to 50) are available for over sixty stu­ dents who are able to comply with the conditions imposed. In addition to the one hundred and three students whose total ex­ penditures are presented in the above table, eight scholarship holders reported the cost to themselves o f the college year 191213. Each o f the eight received on an average the equivalent of $131.25 from the College, and spent in addition to this $437.48. On comparing these figures with the averages o f the above table it is evident that the receipt of aid in the case o f the nine scholar­ ship students is combined with economy in their other college and living expenses. Day students residing in Swarthmore avoid payment o f board, lodging, washing, etc., to the College, although, o f course, ex­ penses o f this sort must be met as part of the family budget or otherwise. In 1912-13, the average total expenditure of four such students for tuition, books, apparatus, and recreation— the only directly college costs they had to meet— was $230.25, of which $161.50, or 70 per cent., was accounted for by tuition fees. Other forms o f economizing may be noted. Day students re­ siding along the line of the P. B. & W . R. R. may take advantage o f the very low rates o f transportation offered by the forty-sixtrip school tickets. On the other hand, a certain loss is incurred by students not in residence and therefore not in close contact at all times with the life o f the College. Those who expect to EXPENSES 45 give a portion o f their time to remunerative work outside o f the College, moreover, should not underestimate the difficulties in­ volved in performing it and complying satisfactorily with col­ lege requirements at the same time. As a general rule, it may be said that only those in good health and of more than the aver­ age mental ability can secure results in this way that are com­ mensurate with the sacrifices involved. On the other hand, the democratic atmosphere of the College assures a manly recogni­ tion o f the worth o f such efforts to work one’s way through College.

ADM ISSION A pplication fob A dmission should be made as early as pos­ sible by letter to the Dean o f the College. Students are not ad­ mitted fo r a period o f less than the current college year, but, when vacancies exist, students may enter profitably upon the work o f a sufficient number o f courses. A ll applicants must present satisfactory testimonials o f good character from their former teachers, and students coming from other colleges must present certificates o f honorable dismissal. A dmission to the College is granted (1) to candidates who pass satisfactory examinations covering the entrance require­ ments stated below, pages 52 to 68; and (2) to those who pre­ sent certificates signed by the principals o f duly accredited schools, made out upon forms furnished by the College, affording sufficient evidence that the entrance requirements have been met. 1. E xaminations foe A dmission may be taken either at the close o f the college year, or in the autumn. (See the calendar on page 7 fo r the dates.) 2. A dmission by Cebtificate. Graduates o f Friends’ schools and o f public high schools, approved by the faculty and Instruc­ tion Committee, will be admitted to the College on certificate o f the principal, but are not in every case received without con­ dition. The faculty admits these students on trial, and reserves the right to change their classification or to decline to continue their connection with the College if they find them to be in­ sufficiently prepared. The privilege o f sending students on cer­ tificate may be withdrawn from any school whose pupils are found to be deficient. Principals o f other schools who wish to have students admitted on their recommendation should cor­ respond with the Dean on the subject. Certificates issued by the College Entrance Examination Board, which was organized in 1899 by the Association o f Col­ leges and Preparatory Schools o f the Middle States and Mary­ land, will be accepted in place o f examinations on the subjects (51) 52 sw arth m ore college b u l l e t in therein certified to as passed. Information as to the examina­ tions held by this board may be obtained by addressing The Secretary o f the College Entrance Examination Board, Sub­ station 84, New York, N. Y. Graduation from an acceptable four years’ high school course or its equivalent is required for admission to the Freshman class on certificate. A n applicant may offer substitutes for some of the optional subjects listed below, but in such cases the student is required to substitute for college electives such work as had been omitted in preparatory school. Thus there would be no increase in the number o f credit hours required fo r graduation, but fewer electives could be included in the four-year college course. ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS It is to be carefully noted that the subjects included among the entrance requirements are rated as strictly as possible ac­ cording to the time that should have been devoted to prepara­ tory work in each. In regard to a unit o f admission requirements, the faculty o f Swarthmore College has approved the following statement, which has been adopted by the National Conference Committee on Standards of Colleges and Secondary Schools, the College En­ trance Examination Board, and the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement o f Teaching: A unit represents a year’s study in any subject in a secondary school, constituting approximately a quarter of a full year’s work. This statement is designed to afford a standard o f measure­ ment for the work done in secondary schools. It takes the four-year high school course as a basis, and assumes that the length o f the school year is from thirty-six to forty weeks, that a period is from forty to sixty minutes in length; and that the study is pursued for four or five periods a week. B y this stand­ ard a satisfactory year’s work in any subject cannot be accom­ plished under ordinary circumstances in less than one hundred and twenty sixty-minute hours or their equivalent. Schools or­ ganized on any other than a four-year basis can, nevertheless, estimate their work in terms o f this unit. ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS 53 The total number of units required on this basis for admission to Swarthmore College is fourteen arid a half. AURAL AND ORAL TESTS IN FOREIGN MODERN LANGUAGES In accordance with a resolution adopted in 1908 by the Modern Language Association of America and a similar one adopted in 1914 by the Association o f M odem Language Teachers of the Middle States and Maryland, it is recommended that the schools preparing students for Swarthmore College prescribe adequate aural and oral tests fo r all candidates who desire to present a foreign modern language in satisfaction of requirements for ad­ mission.

( b ) During the second year the work should comprise: (1) The reading o f from one hundred and fifty to two hundred pages of literature in the form o f easy stories and plays; (2) accom­ panying practice, as before, in the translation into German of easy variations upon the matter read, and also in the unprepared reproduction, sometimes oral and sometimes in writing, o f the substance o f short and easy selected passages; (3) continued drill upon the rudiments o f the grammar, directed to the ends o f enabling the pupil, first, to use his knowledge with facility in the formation o f sentences, and, secondly, to state his knowl­ edge correctly in the technical language o f grammar. 62 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN Stories suitable fo r the elementary course can be selected from the following list: Andersen’s Maerchen and Bilderbuch ohne Bilder; A rn old’s Fritz auf Ferien; Baumbach’s Die Nonna and Der Schwiegersohn; Gerstaeeker’s Germeishausen; Heyse’s L ’Arrabbiata, Das Maedchen von Treppi, and Anfang und Ende; H illem ’s Hoeher als die Kirche; Jensen’s Die Braune Erica; Leander’s Träumereien and Kleine Geschichten; Seidel’s Maerchen; Stoekl’s Unter dem Christbaum; Storm’s Immensee and Geschichten aus der Tonne; Zschokke’s Der Zerbrochene Krug. The reading o f long plays is not advisable for the elementary course, but one short play is recommended. Among shorter plays the best available ones are perhaps Benedix’s Der Prozess, Der Wieberfeind, and Guenstige Vorzeichen; E iz’s E r ist nicht Eifersuechtig; W ichert’s An der Majorsecke; Wilhelmi s Einer Muss Heiraten. A good selection o f reading matter fo r the second year would be Andersen’s Maerchen, or Bilderbuch, or Leander’s Träumereien, to the extent of, say, forty pages. After that such a story as Das Kalte Herz, or Der Zerbrochene Krug; then Hoeher als die Kirche, or Immensee; next a good story by Heyse, Baumbach, or Seidel; lastly, Der Prozess. 8. A dvanced German (two units). (a) The work o f the third year should comprise, in addition to the elementary course, the reading o f about four hundred pages of moderately difficult prose and poetry, with constant practice in giving orally and in writing paraphrases, abstracts, or reproductions from memory of selected portions o f the mat­ ter read; also grammatical drill upon the less usual strong verbs, the use of articles, cases, auxiliaries of all kinds, tenses and modes (with special reference to the infinitive and sub­ junctive), and likewise upon word-order and word-formation. Suitable reading for the third year can be selected from such works as the following: Ebner-Eschenbach’s Die Freiherren von Gemperlein; Freytag’s Die Journalisten and Bilder aus der Deutschen Vergangenheit, for example, Karl der Grosse, Aus den Kreuzzuegen, Doktor Luther, Aus dem Staat Friedrichs des Grossen; Fouque’s Undine; Gerstaecker’s Irrfahrten; Goethe’s Hermann und Dorothea and Iphigenie; H eine’s poems and Reisebilder; Hoffm an’s Historische Erzaehlungen; Lessing’s ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS 63 Minna von Barnhelm; M eyer’s Gustav Adolf’s Page; Moser’s Der Bibliothekar; Riehl’s Novellen, for example, Burg Neideck, Der Fluch der Schoenheit, Der Stumme Batsherr, Das Spielmannskind; Rosegger’s Waldheimat; Schiller’s Der Neffe als Onkel, Der Geisterseher, Wilhelm Tell, Die Jungfrau von Orleans, Das Lied von der Glocke, Badladen; Seheffel’s Der Trompeter von Saeckingen; Uhland’s poems; W ildenbruch’s Das Edle Blut. (b) The work of the fourth year should comprise the reading o f about five hundred pages o f good literature in prose and poetry, reference readings upon the lives and works of the great writers studied, the writing in German of numerous short themes upon assigned subjects, independent translation o f English into German. 9. Greek ( three units). (а) Elementary Greek. Grammar (Goodwin’s recommended); Elementary Composition; Xenophon’s Anabasis, Book I. (б ) Advanced Greek. Anabasis, Books II, III, I Y ; Iliad, Books I, II, I I I ; Greek Prose Composition; Translation at sight. [Students who offer Advanced Greek are expected to offer also General History o f Greece to the death o f Alexander.] 10. E lementary L atin ( two units). First Latin B ook; reading which shall not be less in amount than Caesar's Gallic War, I-IV, and which may be selected from Caesar ( Gallic War and Civil War) and Nepos (L ives) ; the writ­ ing o f simple Latin prose. 11. A dvanced L atin (two units). Reading which shall not be less in amount than Cicero, the Orations against Catiline, for the Manilian Law and for Archias; and Virgil, Aeneid, I-VI. This amount o f reading may be selected from the follow ing: Cicero (Orations, Letters, and De Senectue) and Sallust (Catiline and Jugurthine W a r ) ; Virgil (Bucolics, Georgies, and Aeneid) and Ovid (Metamorphoses, Fasti, and Tristia). W ith this reading there should be carried on systematic and regular work in composition, involving a thor­ ough knowledge o f all regular inflections, all common irregular 64 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN forms, and the ordinary syntax and vocabulary of the prose authors read. Candidates should be examined in translation at sight of both prose and verse. The vocabulary, construction, and range of ideas o f the passages set will be suited to the preparation secured by the reading indicated above. Exercises in translation at sight should begin in school with the first lessons in which Latin sentences o f any length occur, and should continue throughout the course with sufficient frequency to insure correct methods of work on the part o f the student. From the outset particular at­ tention should be given to developing the ability to take in the meaning of each word— and so, gradually, o f the whole sentence — just as it stands; the sentence should be read and understood in the order o f the original, with full appreciation of the force o f each word as it comes, so far as this can be known or inferred from that which has preceded and from the form and the posi­ tion of the word itself. The habit of reading in this way should be encouraged and cultivated as the best preparation for all the translating that the student has to do. Finally, the full mean­ ing of the passage to be translated should be expressed in clear and natural English. The school work in Latin should include also much reading aloud, writing from dictation, and translation from the teacher’s reading. Learning suitable passages by heart is also very useful, and should be practiced. 12. E lementary S cience (two units). The equivalent o f a year’s course, five periods a week, in each o f two branches o f science, each to comprise both classroom and laboratory work. Time spent in the laboratory shall be counted at one half its face value. A year’s course in any branch with­ out laboratory work will count as only one half of a unit, and four such courses will be necessary to meet the requirement in Elementary Science. A selection may be made from the follow­ ing list o f sciences: P hysics.— The course o f instruction in physics should in­ clude : (1) The study o f one standard textbook, for the purpose of obtaining a connected and comprehensive view o f the subject. ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS 65 The student should be given opportunity and encouragement to consult other scientific literature. (2) Instruction by lecture table demonstrations,"to be used mainly for illustration o f the facts and phenomena o f physics in their qualitative aspects and in their practical applica­ tions. (3) Individual laboratory work consisting o f experiments re­ quiring at least the time o f thirty double periods. The experi­ ments performed by each student should number at least thirty. The work should he so distributed as to give a wide range of observation and practice. • The aim o f laboratory work should be to supplement the pu­ p il’s fund of concrete knowledge and to cultivate his power of accurate observation and clearness o f thought and expression. The exercises should he chosen with a view to furnishing forceful illustrations of fundamental principles and their practical ap­ plications. They should be such as yield results capable o f ready interpretation, obviously in conformity with theory, and free from the disguise of unintelligible units. Slovenly work should not be tolerated, but the effort for pre­ cision should not lead to the use o f apparatus or processes so complicated as to obscure the principle involved. Throughout the whole course special attention should be paid to the common illustrations o f physical laws and to their in­ dustrial applications. In the solution of numerical problems, the student should be encouraged to make use o f the simple principles o f algebra and geometry to reduce the difficulties of solution. Unneces­ sary mathematical difficulties should be avoided and care should be exercised to prevent the student from losing sight of the con­ crete facts in the manipulation o f symbols. Chemistry .— It is recommended that the candidate’s prepara­ tion in chemistry should include : (1) Individual laboratory work, comprising at least forty exercises selected from a list o f sixty or more, not very differ­ ent from the list given by the College Entrance Examination Board. (2) Instruction by lecture-table demonstrations, to be used 5 66 SW ARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN mainly as a basis for questioning upon the general principles in­ volved in the p u p il’s laboratory investigations. (3) The study o f at least one standard textbook, to the end ulty members appointed annually by the President of the Colo f the most important facts and laws o f elementary chemistry. B otany .— The work in this subject should include those topics in the leading divisions o f the subject which are now regarded by most teachers as fundamental. The general sequence of top­ ics is that recommended by the College Entrance Examination Board, but this point is not regarded as especially important, and the sequence, the' methods, and the textbooks are left to the judgment of the individual teacher. The amount o f work in this course is designed to occupy a year o f five periods a week. Where special circumstances, such as exceptional difficulty in obtaining material, etc., prevent the completion of the entire amount, it is recommended as better to omit some o f the minor topics here and there and concentrate on the more important topics than to attempt to cover them all super­ ficially. Individual laboratory work by the students is essential and should receive at least double the amount of time given to recita­ tion. Records o f the laboratory work, properly certified by the teacher, in which stress is laid upon diagrammatically accurate drawing and precise, expressive description should be required. P hysical Geography.— The candidate’s preparation should in­ clude : (1 ) The study o f one of the leading secondary textbooks in physical geography, that a knowledge may be gained of the prin­ ciples, and o f well-selected facts illustrating those principles. (2) Individual laboratory work, comprising at least forty exer­ cises selected from a list not very different from the one given by the College Entrance Examination Board. From one third to one half o f the candidate’s classroom work should be devoted to laboratory exercises. In the autumn and spring, field trips should take the place o f laboratory exercises. Z oology.— The requirement in this subject is based upon the statement o f a committee appointed by the American Society of ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS 67 Zoologists. The outline o f a course in general zoology is con­ tained in the publications o f the College Entrance Examination Board. The outline should be developed on the basis o f a course o f laboratory study guided by definite directions. This should be supplemented by the careful reading o f at least one modem elementary textbook in general zoology. A t least two thirds of the time should be devoted to the practical studies o f the labora­ tory. I f good nature-studies have not preceded the course in high-school zoology, pupils should be encouraged to do supple­ mentary work in the line o f natural history. A notebook in­ cluding drawings o f the chief structures studied anatomically, and also those drawings required in natural history, with notes on demonstrations and in explanation o f drawings, should be required. 13. S olid Geometry (one half o f a unit). The theorems and constructions in a good modem text, includ­ ing the sphere and spherical figures. Solution o f many original exercises, loci problems, and numerical examples. No entrance credit in solid geometry will be allowed to a stu­ dent who has spent less than one half year, o f four or five reci­ tations a week, in its preparation. 14. T rigonometry (one half o f a unit). The trigonometric ratios; solution o f trigonometric equations; reduction of trigonometric identities; multiple angles; theory and use o f logarithms and tables; solution o f triangles. No entrance credit in trigonometry will be granted to a stu­ dent who has spent less than one half year, five recitations a week, in its preparation. AD V A N C E D STANDING No student is admitted to advanced standing later than the beginning o f the senior year. Students entering from other colleges must complete at least one full year’s work at Swarthmore College in fulfillment o f the requirements for the degree of Bachelor o f Arts. Students who come from other colleges must present full credentials for both college and preparatory work, 68 SWAKTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN and a letter of honorable dismissal. I f the credentials are satis­ factory to the Committee on Admission, the candidate will he given, without examination, an equivalent amount of credit upon the records o f the College. A ll applicants for advanced stand­ ing for work done in other than approved colleges or universities will be admitted to such standing only by examination. Ex­ aminations for such credit shall cover the full equivalent o f cor­ responding courses at Swarthmore College. Application for advanced standing should be made in writing to the Dean. Ex­ aminations will be held only at the College. R E Q U IR E M E N T S F O R G R A D U A T IO N T H E GENERAL UNDERGRADUATE COURSE OF STUDY The degree of Bachelor o f Arts is conferred upon those who complete the undergraduate course as outlined below. This course is based upon uniform requirements for admission, and upon certain studies which are prescribed for all matriculates. In addition to securing this fundamental uniformity, it provides for the varied needs and capacities o f individuals by permitting a wide range o f election on the part of the student or his ad­ viser; and it seeks, also, to provide a thorough training, extend­ ing over three or four years, in some one department of study. The requirement o f a thesis from a candidate for the Bachelor’s degree is left to the option o f the head o f the department in which the m ajor is taken. Candidates fo r graduation in the Department o f Liberal Arts are required to complete one hundred and twenty-four “ hours” in addition to the prescribed work in physical education. For the number o f hours required for graduation in the Departments o f Engineering and in the Department o f Chemistry, see the courses o f study outlined under the various departments. The foregoing are minimum requirements. Students may he re­ quired to complete additional “ hours” for graduation as penal­ ties for absences from collection or from classroom, laboratory, or other college exercises. A n “ hour” signifies one recitation or lecture (or its equivalent) a week throughout one college semes­ ter. A recitation or lecture is regularly fifty-five minutes long, and the preparation o f the student is estimated at an average o f two hours fo r each class exercise. In the Departments of Engineering, Biology, and Chemistry a laboratory period is three hours in length. In other departments, where additional work is required outside o f the laboratory, the laboratory period is two hours in length. It is designed to make the laboratory exercise, as nearly as possible, equivalent in its demands to the hour defined above. (6 9 ) 70 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN The prescribed number o f hours fo r students majoring in the Departments o f Liberal Arts is seventeen fo r each semester o f the freshman year and fifteen fo r each semester o f the sopho­ more, junior, and senior years. The prescribed number o f hours fo r students majoring in Engineering ranges from fifteen to twenty for each semester. A n average quality grade shall be required for graduation, and fo r the purpose o f determining this quality grade, numerical values called “ points,” shall be given to the grade letters, as follows: for grade A , three points for each semester hour of course in which the grade is received; fo r grade B, two points; for grade C, one point; fo r grade D, no point. The grade D is sufficient to pass a course, but does not count any “ point.” In accordance with this valuation the requirements in “ points” for graduation o f all students, both those in arts and in applied science, is one hundred and twenty-four. This is a requirement for Arts students o f an average grade o f C. In other words, Arts students are required for graduation to present one hundred and twenty-four hours o f credit and one hundred and twenty-four “ points.” Students in applied science will be required for graduation to present the number o f hours o f credit now pre­ scribed (ranging from one hundred and thirty-two to one hundred and fifty-one) and one hundred and twenty-four “ points.” Students are not allowed to carry more nor less than the prescribed amount o f work except in special cases approved by the Committee on Prescribed and Extra Work. Students often find it difficult, however, to make out a course o f study fo r the exact number o f hours, and for this reason a variation o f one hour more or less than the prescribed number o f hours may be allowed by the course adviser. In such cases the endorsement o f the course adviser must be secured in writing on the Enroll­ ment Card. Students desiring to carry more than one hour in excess of the prescribed number or more than one hour below the pre­ scribed number must make application to the Committee on Prescribed and Extra W ork on a regular form provided fo r the purpose by the Dean. No student whose marks have fallen be­ REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION 71 low C in any subject or below B in more than one department during the preceding semester shall be permitted to enroll for more than one hour in excess o f the prescribed number. For students entering from other schools or colleges, these grades shall be determined from their entrance certificates. No application o f a student to enroll for more or less than the prescribed num­ ber o f hours shall be considered by the committee unless accom­ panied by the written endorsement o f the course adviser. I. Prescribed Studies.— These studies must be taken by all students who are candidates for graduation, unless for special reasons permission to substitute some other work is obtained from the proper faculty committee. The whole of the first year is devoted to five of the prescribed studies with one elective. The time and order in which the remaining studies are taken may vary according to the requirements o f each department. The prescribed work, amounting to forty-three hours, exclusive o f the Physical Education, includes the following studies : Group 1. English.— Ten hours, four of which must be taken in English Composition, and six in English Literature. Group 2. Greek, Latin, French, German.— Twelve hours in any one of these languages, or six hours in each o f two. Group 3. Bible Study, History, Economics, Political Science.— Nine hours, three of which must be taken in Bible Study, and six in one of the following departments: History, Philosophy, Economics, Political Science, Psychology and Education. Group 4. Biology, Chemistry, Physics.— Six hours, to be taken in any one o f the three departments, and to include at least one credit-hour of laboratory work throughout a year. Group 5. Mathematics, Astronomy.— Six hours, to be taken in either one o f the two studies. Group 6. Physical Education.-—For the prescribed amount of work in this department, see the statements under the Depart­ ment of Physical Education. Students who fail in the required courses of the freshman year should enroll in these courses during the, sophomore year. No deviation from this rule will be allowed except on the written endorsement of the course adviser, and after notification to the 72 SWARTHMOBE COLLEGE BULLETIN professor in charge o f the subject in which the student failed. A ll prescribed studies must be completed or in actual process of completion at the beginning o f the senior year except in cases where such prescribed work is not offered until the second semes­ ter of the senior year. No substitution o f elective for prescribed work where more than one semester is involved shall be permitted after the be­ ginning o f the senior year, nor in any case after the beginning o f the second semester o f the senior year. Application for permission to substitute an elective fo r a pre­ scribed study must be made to the Committee on Prescribed and Extra W ork on a regular form provided by the Dean for the purpose. II. Major Subject.— Every candidate for graduation is re­ quired to select the work o f some one department as his major. In most cases the selection may well be postponed until the be­ ginning of the second year. In the department thus chosen.the student must complete eighteen hours as a minimum (the pre­ scribed work done in the m ajor study to be included in this minimum), and the professor in charge may, at his option, de­ termine the work o f thirty-six hours, provided six hours shall not be in his own department. I f the major study is one o f the languages, at least six hours o f the prescribed work must be taken in another language. No matter how much credit may have been given on entrance, no student is allowed to graduate who has not been enrolled as a student o f Swarthmore College at least one year and who has not had in the College at least one year’s work in his major. I f the m ajor study is changed from any branch of Engineer­ ing to a department in arts, the number o f credit hours then on record will be adjusted to the basis o f 124 hours. III. Elective Studies.— The remaining work required for grad­ uation may be elected from any department or departments of the College. The following subjects are open to election, in so far as the exigencies o f the college programme will permit: 73 UNIFORM CURRICULUM Anthropology, Art, Astronomy, Bible Study, Biology, Botany, Chemistry, Economics, Education, Engineering, English, French, Geology, German, Greek, History, History o f Religion, Latin, Law, Mathematics, Philosophy, Physics, Political Science, Psychology, Public Speaking, Spanish, Zoology.

COURSE A D V ISE R S A ll students are expected to confer with, their respective course advisers before enrolling in classes. The professor in charge o f the m ajor subject will serve as course adviser for each student who has chosen a major subject. The President will designate the course adviser fo r students who have not chosen their m ajor subjects. E X T R A W O R K DONE OUTSIDE OP CLASSES No student will be granted credit for work in excess of that regularly listed on the Enrollment Card unless permission to do so is granted by the Committee on Prescribed and Extra W ork at the written request o f the course adviser. A ll students ex­ cept those desiring credit for intercollegiate debating must gain permission o f the Committee on Prescribed and Extra W ork before the work is entered upon. REM O VAL OP CONDITIONS Members o f the graduating class must make up all outstanding conditions and deficiencies by the end of the first semester of the senior year, and no student whose record is not then clear shall be considered a candidate for graduation in that year. A ll conditions must be made up in the semester immediately following that in which the work reported as conditioned was done, and as early in the semester as possible; except that by special permission o f the professor concerned the time for mak­ ing up the condition may be extended to the second semester following in case (1) the course for which the condition was imposed is not repeated until said second semester, and (2) it is considered necessary by the professor that the student should make up part or all o f the class or laboratory work involved at the time the course is repeated. A ny condition not made up within a year from the time it is imposed shall thereafter have the effect upon the records o f an “ E, ” i. e., complete failure, which cannot be made up. (76) SYSTEM OF GRADES 77 SYSTEM OF GRADES Reports of students’ work are received at the Dean’s office four times a year; at the end o f each semester and at each mid­ semester. A ll grades are mailed to parents at the end o f each semester, and are also given out to students at each mid-semester and the end of the first semester. The following system of marking is used by instructors: A (excellent, 100-90 per cent.) ; B (good, 89-80 per ce n t.); C (fair, 79-70 per ce n t.); D (poor, 69-60 per ce n t.); E (fa ile d ); W (w ithdraw n); Cond. (Conditioned). The mark “ conditioned” shall be reported for only two rea­ sons: (1) for unsatisfactory work in a semester course in which the condition may be removed by doing satisfactory work either in another semester course which involves the subject-matter of the first course or in the second semester of a year’s course; (2) when the work o f a course is incomplete; that is, when the work done in the course is satisfactory with the exception o f a small, definite part of i t ; for example, the writing o f a theme, the read­ ing o f an assignment, or the taking of a final examination. The mark “ conditioned” shall not be given to a student whose work in a course has been below the passing grade. Such a student shall be reported “ E ” (failed). When the reports o f grades are filed at the Dean’s office, the exact character o f the conditions imposed will be defined, and the nature o f the work required to remove conditions reported in writing. The students will then be notified by the Dean of the terms of the conditions. An average quality grade shall be required for graduation, and for the purpose o f determining this quality grade easily, numerical values, to be called “ points,” shall be given to the grade letters, as follows: for grade A, three points for each semester-hour o f course in which the grade is received; for grade B, two points; for grade C, one poin t; fo r grade D, no point. The grade D is sufficient to pass a course, but does not count any “ point.” In accordance with this valuation the requirements in “ points” for graduation o f all students, both those in arts and in applied science, is one hundred and twenty-four. This is a requirement 78 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN for Arts students o f an average grade o f C. In other words, Arts students are required for graduation to present one hun­ dred and twenty-four hours o f credit and one hundred and twenty-four “ points.” A ll other students (students in applied science) will be required fo r graduation to present the number o f hours o f credit now prescribed (ranging from one hundred and thirty-two to one hundred and fifty-one) and one hundred and twenty-four “ points.” The above requirement went into effect beginning with the class entering in 1913 (class o f 1917); for the class o f 1916, be­ ginning with the year 1913-14, an average grade o f C shall be required o f all Arts students fo r graduation, and in the case of all other students (students in applied science)' whose courses are regular, ninety “ points” shall be required for graduation. E X E M PTIO N FROM E X AM IN ATIO N S No underclassmen shall be exempted from semester final ex­ aminations ; seniors with grades o f A shall be exempt in the final examinations o f the second semester. ABSEN CES FROM E X A M IN A TIO N Students who are absent from any examination, announce­ ment o f which was made in advance o f the date o f the examina­ tion, shall be given a make-up examination only after presenta­ tion by the student to the instructor in charge o f the course (1) o f a certificate from the Committee on Absences that the student has submitted a written statement satisfactorily explaining the causes making the absences from examination imperatively neces­ sary, and (2) o f a receipt from the office o f the superintendent for a fee o f $2 which shall be paid by the student in the case o f every such make-up examination, except when remitted by the President o f the College. ABSEN CES FROM CLASSES Each instructor shall make on the form provided fo r the pur­ pose daily reports o f student absences to the office o f the Dean. A ll powers o f supervision and discipline over student absences ABSENCES FKOM CLASSES 79 are vested in a Committee on Absences to be composed o f the Dean, The Dean o f Women, both ex officio, and three other fac­ ulty members appointed annually by the President o f the Col­ lege, who shall designate the Chairman of the Committee from among its members. In dealing with all student absences the Committee on A b­ sences shall classify them either (a) as allowable absences, or (b) as disallowed absences. Allowable absences are absences which in the opinion o f the Committee on Absences are incurred for sufficient cause. B y sufficient cause is meant any grounds for absence which would justify failure to keep a stated business appointment; provided, however, that no absence shall be con­ sidered allowable by the Committee on Absences unless a writ­ ten explanation o f it is made by the student taking it on a form provided for this purpose at the Dean’s office. Such explana­ tion must be made by the student in advance o f the absence, or, if this be impossible, at the earliest practicable time thereafter. In case the absence is not reported in advance the student shall be required to state fu lly on the form referred to above the rea­ sons for his delay in reporting it.

The courses of study in French are designed to afford a high degree of literary culture, as well as to impart thorough train­ ing in the grammar and linguistics of the language. Until the middle o f the second year, the authors studied are all selected from those o f modern times, and the greatest attention is given to colloquial French. The student is then ready to be brought into contact with the more artificial (rhetorical) forms o f ex­ pression constantly occurring in the higher grades o f literature. The fact that French is a living tongue is kept ever in view. For this reason but little English is used in the classroom. Free composition, dictation, memorizing, and conversation are required throughout the courses. Much attention is given to pronuncia­ tion, and the relations o f modern French to classical, popular, and low Latin are brought often before the students. The course in Spanish is arranged with a view to giving, as far as possible, a practical knowledge o f this language, and also some idea o f the modem literature of Spain. From eleven to fourteen courses in French are given each year. The Class in Course 21 is divided into four sections, the classes in Courses 22 and 23 into three each. Students who are prepared in Elementary French (see page 59) enter Course 22; those who are prepared in Advanced French (see page 60) enter Courses 24 and 26.

Pennsylvmia Debating League. Through the initiative of Swarthmore College, a debating league was organized in 1903 between Swarthmore, Franklin and Marshall, Dickinson, and State Colleges. The plan o f the intercollegiate debate is that of the round-robin. Bach college prepares two teams, one on the affirmative and one on the negative o f the question, which is de­ bated. A t Swarthmore there is a trial debate among the stu­ dents to determine the teams fo r this debate. A ll debates are held the first Friday in March. The negative teams remain at home, and the affirmative teams go to the college fixed on the schedule. The President’s Prize is contested in debate by representatives o f the Sophomore and Freshman Classes.

The department itself is building up as rapidly as possible a collection o f boohs and documents relating to inter­ national law and diplomacy. P o lit ic a l S cien ce The instruction in this department is under the direction of Professor Bobert C. Brooks. The fundamental aim o f the courses offered in political science is to prepare students for intelligent and effective citizenship. To this end an effort is made to interpret the political life and movements of our time in city, state, and nation. Particular attention is given to criticisms o f existing institutions and pro­ posals for their reform. Governments and parties in the lead­ ing foreign nations o f the world are considered'not only because o f their intrinsic importance, but also for the valuable sugges­ tions they may yield for the solution of our American problems. Though the courses in political science are primarily to pro­ duce intelligent and effective citizenship, they should also prove more immediately helpful to those who intend to enter politics, law, public service, journalism, business, or the teaching of civics. Students who expect to devote themselves to advanced study and research in political science should be able to lay the founda­ tions for such work in the undergraduate courses offered by this department. Unsupported by collateral study in economics and history much o f the significance of political science will be lost. Psychology, philosophy, and pedagogy are also valuable aids. A reading knowledge o f German or French should be acquired as soon as possible by students of political science, and both of these are essential for graduate study in this field. Training in English and public speaking are highly desirable. Changes in advanced courses to be made from year to year will enable students to take more work in political science than is here scheduled. 101. American Political Parties and Party Problems.

The legislative branch will be given special attention in this course for the present, and a large part of the work of the class will consist in experimental legislation, i. e., the drafting, discussion, and voting of bills upon topics o f current interest. Prerequisites, Course 101, 102, or 103 or the equivalent of one of these. 107. History, o f Political Ideas. Professor Brooks. One hour a week throughout the year. Offered in 1916-17.

Open only to Juniors and Seniors. 108. Recent American Political Thought. Professor Brook 3. Two hours a week throughout the year. Offered in 1916-17. A study o f the writings o f the more notable recent' commentators upon American political life and ideals with particular reference to the probable large developments o f the immediate future. Open only to Juniors and Seniors. E c o n o m ic s The instruction in this department is under the direction of Professor Louis N. Robinson.* Leonard B. Krueger is Acting Instructor. Good citizenship implies intelligent citizenship. The broadest purpose o f college instruction in Economics is to contribute to the former by the cultivation o f the latter. Prom this point of view the study o f Economics should appeal to all students, for the .duties of citizenship await them all. In a narrower way, work in Economics should prove useful to those who intend to devote themselves to law, business, journalism, philanthropy, or the public service. Finally, fo r those who wish to prepare for investigation or teaching in this field, college instruction, with its closer personal relation between student and teacher, should provide suitable preparation for graduate study and research in larger institutions. Collateral work in Political Science, History, German, and French is strongly recommended fo r all who intend to devote much time to Economics. A knowledge of general biological theory, o f psychology, and o f philosophy would add greatly to the value o f work done in this department. No credit will be given in courses which run throughout the year, unless the work o f the entire year is taken. The advanced courses will be changed from year to year, thus enabling students to take more work in the department than is here scheduled. During 1915-16 Professor Robinson gives only part of his time to class work. DEPARTMENTS AND COURSES OP INSTRUCTION 111. Principles o f Economics. The ciples public trusts, Not 107 Mr. Krueger.

The library o f the University o f Pennsylvania contains collections aggregating 22,000 volumes for the support o f the work of the Wharton School o f Finance and Commerce, particularly the Colwell Col­ lection o f 7,000 volumes, and the Cary Collection of 3,000 pamphlets. The Philadelphia Commercial Museum contains ex­ tensive and interesting collections o f raw materials and finished products and a library on commercial topics. As a great center o f manufacturing, commercial and- banking activities, Philadel­ phia enables the student to deal with many economic questions on the ground. Her widely known philanthropic institutions are similarly available fo r sociological investigation. Law The instruction in this department is under the joint direction o f T. Walter Gilkyson and Howard Cooper Johnson, Instructors in Law. The courses in law are designed to give to the student an in­ sight into legal reasoning and a general knowledge o f the funda­ mental legal relations which govern our society. It is expected that these courses will serve as a helpful introduction to pro­ fessional study for those who aim to prepare themselves for the life o f the law yer; that those students who desire to equip them­ selves fo r active business life, will be aided by an intelligent study of the principles which lie at the basis o f commercial life ; and that all will find in the systematic study o f the Science of the law a broadening influence that will tend to general culture. DEPARTMENTS AND COURSÉS OF INSTRUCTION 125. Law and Social Progress. 109 Mr. Gilkyson. One hour a week throughout the year. Offered annually. The purpose o f this course is to discover the relation between law and modern social and economic conditions.

A Museum of Religions has been started at Swarthmore, which has already a valuable collection o f religious curios from China, Japan, India, and elsewhere. Additions to this collection will be welcomed. Mention should be also made of the great libraries of Phila­ delphia, and of the lecture courses, often by the great scholars 112 SWABTHMOEE COLLEGE -BULLETIN o f the W orld, at Drexel, Franklin, and Wagner Institutes, and at the University o f Pennsylvania, in addition to those offered at Swarthmore. The most famous preachers, statesmen and orators are frequently to be heard in Philadelphia, and the opportunities thus afforded are brought to the attention o f stu­ dents. P sychology and Education The instruction in this department is under the direction o f Professor Bird T. Baldwin, assisted by Eloise Vest. Special Methods Courses for teachers are given by Professors H. C. Hayes, Jesse H. Holmes, Benjamin F. Battin, Paul M. Pearson, Walter Dennison, and Assistant Professor Walter Ross Marriott. THE AIM OP THE DEPAETMENT The new department o f Psychology and Education is being organized on comprehensive and scientific lines around the cen­ tral purpose o f thorough preparation through intelligent par­ ticipation and experimentation in school work. On every hand emphasis will be placed on the modern empirical and scientific points o f view in psychology and education. Therefore, ex­ perimental laboratory courses will be given in both these fields in order to make the work concrete, definite, and scientific. In order to connect theory and practice, and to formulate prin­ ciples o f education, all theoretical and historical courses will he paralleled by work in School Observation, Practice Teaching, and Experimental Education in contemporary school problems. ASSISTANT TEACHING Observation and Assistant Teaching will be conducted at Lansdowne, Chester, Media, W allingford, Rutledge, and a Friends’ school, all o f which are within a half hour’s ride o f the College. A ll candidates for the recommendation of the department for the Pennsylvania State Certificate will be required to take Edu­ cation 146 (Principles and Practice of Teaching). In this course, after each student has had the required observation work and has made a series o f lesson plans, he teaches daily for at least thirty consecutive type lessons in one or two subjects. He 113 DEPARTMENTS AND COURSES OF INSTRUCTION is also visited by the professor in charge, whom he meets regu­ larly for individual conferences and for class exercises and dis­ cussion. This intensive, systematic training under careful super­ vision and direction, with the background gained in other courses, will practically eliminate the difficult problem of the “ inex­ perienced teacher.” Superintendents are glad to find these stu­ dents, and to accept them as “ experienced.” EXPERIMENTAL EDUCATION Regular courses involving laboratory and field work will be given at the College during the coming year, and special efforts will be made to study educative processes in action through direct experimental methods. This work has been so arranged that graduate students and teachers near the College may meet in .class on Thursday afternoon and Saturday morning to work on special problems, and to receive special training in technique. This work will center, in the main, around contemporary prob­ lems in the public schools of the community, the Williamson School o f Mechanical Trades, the Elwyn Training School for Mentally Defective Children, and the Glen Mills Reformatory at Sleighton Farm. MORAL EDUCATION In collaboration with the Department of History o f Religion and Philosophy, under the direction of Professor Holmes, the College is able to offer unusual opportunities in Moral Educa­ tion. PHYSICAL EDUCATION This work, which is given in cooperation with the Department of Physical Education, consists o f theoretical and practical courses in play, gymnastics, school hygiene and medical inspec­ tion, with the double purpose of giving a thorough knowledge of the physical development o f school children and o f giving materials and methods for the student’s future need as a teacher. t e a c h e r s ’ courses Through the cooperation o f professors in other departments efforts are being made to correlate and coordinate all the work within the College bearing directly on the preparation o f teach8 114 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN ers. During the coming year Special Methods Courses will be given in Physics, German, Public Speaking, English, and Latin. These courses are for junior and senior students who have the prerequisites in the special subjects and in Education. Some of the courses will be accompanied by observation and practice teaching under the direction o f the instructor in charge. The Teachers’ Courses aim to make a detailed study o f the best methods o f teaching high-school subjects from the stand­ point o f adolescent development, and the organization and pres­ entation of subject-matter. The courses are essentially profes­ sional in their point o f view and emphasize methods of teaching. They consider, aside from their specific characteristic topics, the relative educational value o f the subject in secondary schools, the plan and organization o f the course o f study, the best types o f texts and explanatory material, methods o f organizing classi­ fied bibliography and reference books for school libraries in the subject at hand. Emphasis is placed on the method of the recitation and types o f lesson plans for secondary schools, including a consideration o f the transition o f method and subject-matter from the ele­ mentary to the high school, and from the high school to the College. A limited number o f hours of practice teaching in any one o f these courses may be counted toward the teaching re­ quired fo r the recommendation o f the department o f Educa­ tion for the State College Certificate. TEACHERS ’ APPOINTMENT COMMITTEE A Teachers’ Appointment Committee, consisting o f Professors Dennison, Baldwin, Holmes, and Dean Alexander, was instituted in 1912. The duty of this committee is to assist the graduates o f the College in their effort to secure satisfactory teaching posi­ tions. This assistance is to be rendered not only to members of each year’s graduating class, but also to earlier graduates who have been teaching meanwhile, and having acquired experience, desire more responsible positions than the ones they now have. THE STATE COLLEGE CERTIFICATE Students graduating from college and completing the required number o f courses (eighteen semester hours) in Psychology and DEPABTMENTS AND COURSES OP INSTRUCTION 115 Education, including the required practice teaching of not less than thirty regular lessons covering six weeks or more, will be recommended by the Department for the State College Certifi­ cate, which carries exemption from all examinations for posi­ tions in the public schools o f Pennsylvania, and becomes perma­ nent after three years o f teaching. This certificate is accepted by a number o f other states. COURSE OP STUDY No course in this department should be taken before the Sophomore year.

Blessing. George W . Lewis is Assistant Professor o f Mechanical Engineering, Scott B. Lilly is Assist­ ant Professor o f Civil Engineering, Lewis Fussell is Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering, Albert W . Preston is In­ structor, and Samuel S. Shoemaker is Assistant. The courses in Engineering are designed to train men in the fundamental principles that underlie the branch in which they are majoring, and to give such engineering and practical work as time and equipment will permit. The location o f the College near Philadelphia and the important manufacturing centers in its vicinity enables students to visit a great variety o f industrial and engineering works. A man must supplement a technical course by experience in practice and contact with real engineering work before he can attain his power as an engineer, and it is hoped that these visits will prove o f value to the student when he begins practical engineering work. The success o f an engineer has come more and more to depend upon his ability to meet men o f education and culture on equal terms; hence, courses in liberal arts are carried throughout the four years in the belief that they will ultimately benefit the students. The technical courses o f study are arranged and con­ ducted with the purpose o f imparting a liberal preparation for immediate usefulness in the office, drafting room, or field. By adding familiarity with commercial demands and practice to the preparation o f the school, the graduates from these courses may successfully undertake the responsibility o f design or super­ intendence o f engineering works. When circumstances permit, undergraduates are encouraged to engage in engineering work during the summer vacation. The experience and maturity so gained are o f great value in subsequent collegiate and profes­ sional work. The instruction in this department is given both by lectures DEPARTMENTS AND COUESES OP INSTRUCTION 127 and recitations; in the drafting room, the field work, the labora­ tory, and shop the aim is to adapt the instruction to the indi­ vidual needs of the student. THE EQUIPMENT The Field Equipment is ample fo r practice in surveying, and includes transits, levels, plane tables, compasses and other aux­ iliary apparatus. Engineering Library and Club Boom. This is a large, beau­ tifully furnished room on the second floor o f the Engineering Building. It is equipped with electrical connections fo r stereopticon lantern or motion picture machine. The book shelves in this room contain about one thousand volumes o f technical works in which is included transactions o f engineering societies and bound volumes o f the most important technical papers and journals. Current issues o f all the leading engineering maga­ zines are also to be found on the reading tables. ' Drafting Booms. The drafting rooms are equipped with drawing tables, stools and cabinets in which students may keep their drawing supplies. In addition to the above equipment this department has a ten-inch Sibley wood turning lathe, with many extra parts, and a duplex power driven pump fo r use in sketch­ ing and to illustrate the principles o f machine construction and design. The Junior and Senior drawing rooms are also equipped with filing cabinets containing blue prints and other data to aid the student in the design courses. The Engineering Laboratories. The Materials Laboratory contains a 15,000-pound Olsen testing machine, and a larger one having a capacity of 100,000 pounds. Both machines are fitted for tests in tension, compression and deflection. In addition, there is a 50,000-pound Olsen torsional testing machine, and micrometers fo r measing elongation, compression and deflection, a Fairbank’s cement testing machine with a complete equipment for making tests on cement, a White-Souther endurance testing machine, a. Shore scleroscope, an Upton-Lewis endurance testing machine and a complete equipment for the heat treatment of metals. For tests in mechanical engineering the equipment consists of steam and gas engine indicators, planimeters, tachometers, 128 SW ARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN steam and coal calorimeters, pyrometers, gauge and indicator testing apparatus. This laboratory also contains oil and grease testing apparatus, a Junker calorimeter for gas and liquid fuel tests and gas analysis apparatus. In the Gas Engine Laboratory the apparatus consists of a fivehorse-power Otto gas engine, a ten-horse-power Quincy gasoline and kerosene engine, a four-cylinder twenty-horse-power Rutenber automobile engine direct connected to a Tracy fan dynam­ ometer, a ten-horse-power Mietz and Weiss fuel oil engine and a vertical fifty-horse-power two-cylinder Bruce-Macbeth gas en­ gine. The above engines are fitted fo r testing with Prony brakes indicating apparatus, etc. This laboratory also contains a “ Receo” Rider Ericsson hot-air engine. The Steam Engine Laboratory contains a fifty horse-power 8 in. x 13 in. x 10 in. Ideal tandem-compound high-speed engine, a 10 in. x 24 in. Wetherell-Corliss engine, a seven-kilowatt hori­ zontal Curtis turbine direct connected to a direct-current dy­ namo installed with a separate switchboard. This laboratory’ also contains a 5 in. x 8 in. vertical slide-valve engine. The above engines can be run condensing or non-condensing. The con­ densing apparatus consists o f a Wheeler surface condenser. The steam engine equipment in the power plant consists of two onehundred-horse-power and one sixty-five-horse-power Harrisburg high-speed engines. The boiler room contains four one-hundred-and-twenty-fivehorse-power horizontal return tubular boilers fitted with turbo blowers and automatic damper regulator. F or testing the boil­ ers the plant is equipped with a W ilcox automatic feed water weigher, coal weighing apparatus, flue gas analysis apparatus, etc. The equipment o f the Hydraulic Laboratory consists o f a D ’Olier centrifugal pump direct connected with a ten-horse­ power direct current motor and fitted with necessary apparatus for conducting a complete test such as weirs, nozzles, gauges, etc. A fifteen-horse-power Christiana turbine water wheel fitted with Prony brake, hook gauges, weirs, etc. A small impulse water wheel o f the Pelton type. The Direct Current Laboratory contains a plug type switch­ board supplied with direct current power and connected with DEPARTMENTS AND COURSES OF INSTRUCTION 129 the alternating switchboard so that the equipment in both lab­ oratories may be used in either. It makes possible the rapid connection in parallel or series of all the apparatus. The me­ chanical power for this room is derived from a twenty-five-horsepower variable speed induction motor, and the direct current power from the substation located in the adjoining room. This is equipped with two twenty-five-kilowatt one-hundred-andten-volt direct current generators of Westinghouse make driven by two thirty-five-horse-power three-phase General Electric in­ duction motors; and one fifty-kilowatt General Electric induc­ tion motor-generator set. In addition to the usual control ap­ paratus there is installed a Tirrill automatic voltage regulator, giving very steady voltage. The apparatus includes shunt, series and compound wound motors and generators, motor-generators and variable speed motors o f various types, together with the necessary starting, field, and load rheostats. The meters are of the most accurate type, the range being from .001 to 500 amperes and from .001 to 750 volts. The Alternating Current Laboratory has a switchboard similar to but larger than the one in the direct-current laboratory. It is supplied with direct current and with twelve different alter­ nating voltages, the latter being obtained from a bank of three twenty-KV-A step-down transformers. In addition to this single- and three-phase supply a pair o f Scott transformers of four-KV-A rating deliver two-phase power, and a 7.5-KV-A synchronous generator in the laboratory supplies one, two, three, six or twelve phases. The main power supply comes from the power plant below the railroad, where two seventy-five-KV-A and one fifty-K V -A revolving field alternator develop threephase power at twenty-three hundred volts. A good modem switchboard is rendered doubly useful for teaching purposes, since there are more than the usual number o f switchboard meters which make checking and comparison more effective. Here also there is a Tirrill voltage regulator. In the laboratory in addition to the resistances, inductances, and condensers (one hundred and forty microfarads) there are transformers, single- and three-phase induction motors o f several types, a repulsion motor, an inductor generator, two synchronous con­ verters, a synchronous motor, synchronous generator and a vari9 130 SWARTHMOKE COLLEGE BULLETIN able frequency motor generator set giving from twenty to seventy cycles per second. Single-phase and three-phase induction potential regulators give close voltage control. There are a number of high-grade ammeters, voltmeters, and wattmeters which make it possible to read closely any current from .1 to 400 amperes and any pressure from 10 to 3,000 volts. A vibrating reed frequency meter, a synchroscope, a contact device for wave form, a power factor meter, recording and integrating meters are available. A fully equipped General Electric oscilligraph is freely used to show wave shape and phase relations. For the work in illumination there are a Bunsen photometer of semi-portable type, a three-meter Queen photometer with Lummer-Brodhun screen, revolving head, etc.; a portable SharpMiliar illuminometer. Many types o f lamps and types o f glass­ ware are at hand and a study is made o f the various types of lighting around the college to determine where each would be best applied for interior or outdoor work. SHOP WORK This work extends through two years for all engineering stu­ dents, and may be continued if desired. The Machine Shop occupies a large portion of the second floor of the building and it has a floor area of 3,300 square feet. It is exceptionally well lighted and is arranged so that the machine and bench work are entirely separated. A large tool room is centrally located and is in charge o f an assistant, who supplies individual tools on a check system, as is done in commercial shops. The machinery is grouped on three drives, each drive operated by its own electric motor. The machine shop contains an excellent assortment o f tools, including screw-cutting engine lathes; speed lathes, simple and back-geared; a planer; a complete universal milling machine with milling cutters; a shaper; a twist-drill grinder > and two vertical drill presses; a lathe-center grinder; plain and swivel vises; lathe chucks, universal and independent, also drill chucks; chucks for milling machine and vises for planing; sur­ face plates; standard gauges and a complete equipment of small tools.

This lathe is double back geared, has taper turning attachment, compound rest and quick change gear device giving forty changes of threads without removing a gear. The gearing on all lathes is covered by guards or casings to prevent accidents. The Woodworking Shop extends through the entire length of the third floor of the shop building, and has a floor area of more than 3,300 square feet. The work benches are fitted with quick­ acting vises and other accessories and are provided with drawers and tool cabinets in sufficient number to assign each student a container for his tools and exercises. The plan o f individual assignment o f tools and supplies, is followed here, and each stu­ dent is provided with a complete set o f tools. The machine equipment is o f the best and comprises a motor-driven Oliver thirty-eight-inch band saw with tilting table, and screens and guard for the protection of the operator; a motor-driven Col­ burn universal saw; a twenty-four-inch Oliver Hand Planer and Jointer with safety cylinder, and Oliver universal wood trim­ mer; a motor-driven six-inch Oliver hand planer and jointer with safety cylinder; a 16 in. x 10 ft. Oliver wood turning lathe with overhang to spindle and a Mummert W olf & Dixon Com­ pany oil tool grinder; a post drill, and a group of twelve wood turning lathes driven by motor. The Forge Shop. This equipment consists of ten fires, and one additional master fire. These forges are operated on the down-draft principle, and were designed and constructed for this shop by the Buffalo Forge Company. The exhaust and pressure fans for the system are motor driven, and the blast and exhaust ducts are of moulded concrete. The forge shop is situated on the ground floor o f the building and covers an area of more than 1,000 square feet. The Foundry is also located on the same floor, and has a floor space of more than 1,000 square feet. A gas heated cupola or furnace is in use for melting metals in crucibles. The addi­ 132 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN tional equipment consists of moulding benches, flasks and other accessory apparatus. Fees. A fee o f five dollars fo r each semester will be charged for each course in woodworking, forging and machine practice. A fee o f two dollars for each semester will be charged for each course in. field practice and surveying. An additional fee o f two dollars will be charged for the annual survey. A Deposit o f five dollars will be required o f each student en­ rolling for a course in shop work or founding. This deposit will be retained to cover breakage and loss o f tools or supplies, and, after deducting for such items, the balance will be refunded upon the completion o f the course. THÉ ENGINEERING BUILDING A description o f the Engineering Building may be found on page 30 o f this B u l l e t i n . THE MAJOR IN ENGINEERING The engineering courses extend through four years; and, in this respect, differ from the other m ajor courses offered in the College, which are elected at the beginning o f the second year and extend through the three subsequent years. The students in Engineering have thus their entire course arranged with the advice and consent of their course adviser in Engineering. The m ajor in Engineering may be taken in one of four courses : Mechanical, Electrical, Civil, or Chemical Engineering. The courses o f study constituting the major in Engineering are given in detail below, and in the statement o f the department of Chemistry. The work for the first two years is common to all students in Mechanical, Electrical, Civil and Chemical Engineering and in­ cludes work in English, Pure Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Drawing and Shop Work. The work offered in the shops throughout the several courses are intended to teach certain principles o f manufacturing and to familiarize the student with methods and processes o f the mechanic arts. The student works in the various shops of the DEPARTMENTS AND COURSES OP INSTRUCTION 133 department, and completes in each a series of practical exer­ cises. He thus obtains some knowledge of the nature and prop­ erties of the various materials he employs, and becomes familiar with the use and care o f the more important hand and machine tools. A complete cheeking, cost and time-keeping system is in oper­ ation throughout the shops. The system is in charge o f a shop clerk, and each student is required to spend a part of his time in the office to familiarize himself with the system. The object is to make the shop- courses not only a means of developing the powers o f observation and judgment, together with the acquisi­ tion of mechanical skill, but to familiarize the student with busi­ ness methods and make the shops serve as a laboratory for work in industrial organization. During the third year the Mechanical Engineering students take up work in Kinematics o f Machinery and Drawing, while those in Civil Engineering are assigned Field Practice, and Ele­ mentary Structural Design. During the fourth year, oppor­ tunity is offered for more definite specialization in the branches of Mechanical, Electrical and Civil Engineering as indicated in the courses outlined.

Pitman is Instructor, and Hannah B. Steele is Research Assistant. Murat Louis Johnson o f the Penn Mutual Life Insurance Company, is non-resident lecturer in the mathe­ matics o f Insurance. The courses in Mathematics are designed to meet the wants of students desiring later to do graduate work in the best uni­ versities; to teach mathematics in the preparatory schools; to pursue engineering or other technical courses. Students may fulfil the College requirement o f six hours of Mathematics for all candidates for graduation, by taking Courses 251 and 253, by taking three hours o f Course 252 and Course 253, or by taking six hours o f Astronomy. Students majoring in Mathematics will take the first year Courses 251, 252; and 253. Courses 251, 252 and 253 may be taken in any order. It is preferred, however, that one semester, at least, of Course 252 should precede Course 253. The order in which the remaining courses should be taken is specified for each course. A . description o f the instrumental equipment for astronomy may be found on pages 28 and 29. The teaching staff is at present devoting as much time as is consistent with their teach­ ing duties to studies in stellar parallax with the twenty-fourinch telescope, and in comet photography with the photographic telescope. Students interested in either o f these problems may work with advantage in conjunction with one of the professors. The observatory is open to visitors on the second and fourth Tuesday nights of each month, except those Tuesday nights that fall in a vacation period. On clear evenings objects are shown through the great telescope. The Mathematical and Astronomical Club, an association of students in Mathematics and allied subjects, and instructors in 144 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN Mathematics, meets on the first and third Tuesday of each month in the lecture room o f the Sproul Observatory. A t these meet­ ings, reports are given by students on subjects usually not pre­ sented in the classroom. Active participation in the club by students majoring in the department is urged. A departmental library is located on the first floor of the Ob­ servatory. It contains about two thousand volumes and is suffi­ ciently complete to make it a good working library. It is reason­ ably supplied with standard treatises, particularly those published in the last two decades. It contains complete sets o f nearly all the American Mathematical and Astronomical periodicals, and sets, some o f which are complete, some o f which are not, of the lead­ ing English, German, and French periodicals. This library receives in exchange for the publications of the observatory, the publications o f many o f the leading observatories of the world. The departmental library has been repeatedly enriched through the benefactions of Professor S. J. Cunningham. Upon her retirement in 1906, she donated her private library. In 1908 she gave a fund which is being spent for the library, and in 1910 she gave a fund the income o f which will be devoted to the purchase o f books and periodicals. A fund given by Senator William C. Sproul has made possible the purchase o f complete files of various astronomical periodicals and other astronomical publications.

DEPARTMENTS AND COURSES OF INSTRUCTION 149 P h y s ic a l E d u c a tio n The aim o f the departments o f Physical Education is. to pro­ mote the general physical well being of the students, and to assist them to gain the hygienic, corrective, and educative effect o f rightly regulated exercise. In order that this object may be better attained, and to assist the directors in gaining a definite knowledge o f the strength and weakness o f the individual, a careful physical examination and medical inspection (eye, nose, and throat) is required, which serves as a basis for the work. A ll students must take the prescribed work in Physical Educa­ tion. It is strongly recommended that, before entering College, each student undergo a thorough visual examination and be fitted with glasses, if there is a need for them. For a general statement in regard to the facilities for physical training at Swarthmore see pages 31 and 32.

SW ARTH M ORE CLUBS T H E P H IL A D E L P H IA SW A R TH M O R E CLUB The Philadelphia Swarthmore Club was founded in 1889. Good fellowship and love o f Alma Mater have been the key­ stone in the arch o f the club’s continued success. Since 1899 (173) 174 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN the club has held without interruption an annual meeting and dinner, the Philadelphia association being the only one which has such a record. The first annual dinner was held on April 14, 1889, and was attended by about sixty members. The at­ tendance now averages about one hundred and seventy-five. The club has never had any regular officers, but it is the practice to appoint each year a committee to take charge o f the meeting and dinner fo r the ensuing year. During his lifetime, Mr. Gerit E. H. Weaver was the moving spirit and chairman o f this com­ mittee. From the date o f his death until 1914 Howard Cooper Johnson acted as chairman. Charles C. Miller is the present chairman. T H E W E ST E R N SW A R T H M O R E CLUB The Western Swarthmore Club originated in December, 1903, when at an informal dinner about a dozen Swarthmoreans met and organized the Chicago Swarthmore Club. The Chicago Club met for a year or so at irregular intervals, and, having elected Francis E. Broomell, secretary and treasurer, decided to widen its field, and oifer an annual free scholarship, consisting of hoard, room and tuition. The club was then called the Western Swarth­ more Club, and its membership increased to about sixty grad­ uates in the West. The scholarship is open fo r competition to all high and preparatory school graduates west o f the Allegheny Mountains, and the club has sent six students through the fresh­ man year, and has been the means o f inducing more than twice that number to choose Swarthmore. In this way all the principal high schools in the Middle West hear o f Swarthmore every year, and the students carry her good name wherever they go. The Western Swarthmore Club has thus proved Swarthmore .spirit not by words, but by deeds. The present officers are: President, Professor T. A . Jenkins, ’87; treasurer, Francis E. Broomell, ’93; secretary, F. M. Simons, Jr., ’09. A ll communications should be addressed to the secretary, University o f Chicago, Chicago, 111.

TR EN TON S W A R TH M O R E CLUB The Trenton Swarthmore Club is an organization o f the Swarthmore men located in Trenton, N. J., formed primarily fo r the purpose o f furnishing a scholarship in Swarthmore Col­ lege to the preparatory schools in Trenton and vicinity. The organization offers yearly a full, free competitive honor scholarship o f $400 which is awarded to the most worthy male applicant from the neighboring territory, which includes seven o f the most prominent preparatory schools within a radius of ten miles. The requirements o f application are based somewhat on those o f the Rhodes Scholarship, and embrace scholarship, character, moral force, and- physical development. The purpose o f the award is to secure and to induce men from that vicinity to enter Swarthmore, the aim o f the committee being to attract and de­ velop all-around men, since no particular stress is given to any one line o f activity. Club Scholars : 1910-11, Howard Buckman, 1914, Trenton High School; 1911-12, Hyland Lorraine Hodgson, ex-1915, Trenton High School; 1912-13, Edwin Augustus Tomlinson, 1916, George School; Stanley A voy Pennock, 1917, Peddie Institute; Fred­ erick Stockton Donnelly, 1917, New Jersey State Model School ; Franklin Preston. Buckman, 1919, Trenton High School. S W A R TH M O R E CLUB OP W E S T JE R SE Y A meeting of Swarthmore graduates and ex-students living in and around Riverton and Moorestown, N. J., was held on March 31, 1911, and the name agreed upon as the “ Swarthmore Club of West Jersey.” Its purpose is expressed in the following : “ We the subscribers, hereby form ourselves into an association under the name o f the ‘ Swarthmore Club o f West Jersey,’ for the pur­ pose o f promoting the best interests o f Swarthmore College. Dated this the 31st day o f March, A.D. 1911.” This association now numbers thirty-six members. 176 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN T H E N E W Y O R K S W A R TH M O R E CLUB The New York Swarthmore Club is an informal organization somewhat similar to the Philadelphia club, possessing neither constitution nor by-laws, although, it has recently elected offi­ cers and a board o f governors. The club, which now includes in its membership nearly one hundred Swarthmore men resident in New York or nearby towns, holds a semi-annual reunion, either a dinner or a smoker, which is attended usually by about sixty Swarthmoreans. The officers fo r 1915 are: President, Henry C. Turner, 1893; Secretary and Treasurer, Maurice E. Griest, 1904; Board o f Governors, Joseph Pitch, 1879; Frederick A. Seaman, 1883; Henry C. Turner, 1893; William S. Barker, 1895; Maurice E. Griest, 1904; Edward P. Palmer, 1906; Henry C. Field, 1909; J. Ernest Hartman, 1912.
