No. 2 . Twelfth M onth, 1917 Entered at the Post-Office at Swarlhmore, P a., as second-class matter SWARTHMORE COLLEGE 1917-18 TH E JU BILEE FUND On December 1, 1916, the total subscription to the Jubilee Fund amounted to $425,365. This included a subscription of $50,000 by J. S. & W . P. Worth, which at a time to be agreed on would be available for the beginning o f a dormitory for women. Thus the amount subscribed on the above date for en­ dowment was in round numbers $375,000. The Committee of the Board in charge of the Jubilee Campaign continued the work until Commencement time. One of the most important sub­ scriptions to the Fund, was from the General Education Board of New York, founded by John D. Rockefeller. This gift of $125,000 was conditioned on there being subscribed by October 10, 1919, a total subscription o f $750,000 for endowment. Thus the College has'to secure $625,000 in addition to the conditional gift of the General Education Board. A very important part o f the campaign for the year was the substantial support o f the Alumni. For the first time in the history o f the College, the Alumni were thoroughly organized. Edward Clarkson Wilson, ’91, President of the Alumni Asso­ ciation last year, appointed an executive committee consisting of Edward B. Temple, ’91, and John F. Murray, ’94, for the men, and Frances M. White, ’91, Lois Furnance, ’06, and Ruth Verlenden, ’l l , fo r the women. Representatives o f the men from each class met at the University Club in Philadelphia at an in­ formal dinner on March 16. A n enthusiastic meeting was held which resulted in a resolution strongly endorsing the Jubilee Fund movement, and a member from each class was appointed to make personal appeals to the several classes. They authorized the appointment of an executive secretary. F or this post, Sam­ uel Darlington Heed, ’07, was appointed. He established an (3 ) SWARTHMOKE COLLEGE BULLETIN 4 office at the College and under the direction of the executive sec­ retary, a vigorous campaign among the Alumni was conducted. The women were no less active than the men. They met at the College at luncheon, March 26, in even greater numbers than the men at their meeting, and with equal energy and enthusiasm they endorsed the movement most heartily and approved of the appointment of Samuel D. Heed as Executive Secretary. Anna L. Miller, ’15, was made Assistant Executive Secretary. They, in connection with special committees from all the classes, car­ ried on a very efficient campaign. Had it not been for the con­ ditions due to the world war, no doubt the total amount neces­ sary to secure the conditional gift of the General Education Board would have been subscribed by Commencement. A t the general meeting of the Alumni Association at Swarthmore, Sixth Month 9,1917, the Alumni voted a continuation of the Committee to carry the work to completion when it was deemed best. The total amount of the Endowment Jubilee Fund to date is $535,000. Since the beginning of the Alumni campaign the Alumni with the cooperation of the Committee of the Board of Managers, have raised about $285,000 including the conditional gift of the Gen­ eral Education Board. Thus, there is yet about $90,000 to be subscribed. About $350,000, including the W orth Fund has already been paid to the Treasurer of the College. F O U N D E R S’ D A Y , 1917 The tenth annual celebration of Founders’ Day occurred on the 27th of October, which proved to be an ideal day for out-ofdoor exercises. In view of the participation of the country in the Great W ar and the appeal to every citizen for strict econ­ omy, it was seriously questioned at one time whether it would not be well to omit the Founders’ Day celebration this year. But after careful consideration of the question by the faculty and student committees, it was decided to hold the exercises as usual, but to minimize the expenses connected with them as far as pos­ sible. Accordingly, no engraved invitations were sent out as usual and. both the college and the classes omitted the printing of programs for the day as well as expenditure for any other purpose. SWARTHMORE COLLEGE 5 The academic procession stopped on the east campus, where Isaac H. Clothier planted a memorial oak tree. The usual large audience then assembled in the out-door auditorium where Presi­ dent William W . Comfort of Haverford College made the prin­ cipal address. The new president of our sister college was re­ ceived with especially cordial interest and greeting, and his address on “ The Appeal to Ancestry” was an interesting and impressive one. Its keynote was loyalty to, rather than pride in, ancestry, and the theme was developed with a wealth of literary and historical allusions and practical applications to the lessons of to-day. President Robert M. Janney of the Board of Managers pre­ sided ; John Russell Hayes read a poem in memory of Professor Walter Dennison, who died on March 18, 1917; and the classes sang their class songs, the audience participating in the singing of “ America” and “ Alma Mater.” Later in the afternoon, a football game with Franklin and Marshall College was played on Swarthmore F ield ; and in the evening the students presented in Parrish Hall three one-act plays as follows: “ Helena’s Hus­ band,” “ The Tents of the Arabs,” and “ Modesty.” SW A R TH M O R E C O L L E G E C A T A LO G U E F O R T Y -N IN T H Y E A R 1917-1918 S E S S IO N DAYS OF C O LLE G E IN B O L D -F A C E TY P E 1918 M T W T 1 2 8 13 14 15 20 21 22 27 28 29 9 16 23 30 6 7 3 F S 4 a m T M T 10 11 12 17 18 19 24 25 26 31 W w 3 10 17 24 4 11 18 25 5 12 19 26 M F 8 3 4 5 6 9 10 11 12 13 16 17 18 19 20 23 24 25 26 27 30 1 7 8 14 15 21 22 28 29 T 2 9 16 23 30 W 3 M T 6 7 8 9 13 14 15 16 20 21 22 23 27 28 5 6 7 12 13 14 19 20 21 26 27 28 M 6 7 13 14 20 21 27 28 T F S S 3 4 5 6 10 11 12 13 17 18 19 20 24 25 26 27 31 1 8 15 22 29 W M T T 3 4 10 11 17 18 24 25 31 M T F 1 8 15 22 29 2 9 16 23 30 8 8 3 10 17 24 31 4 11 18 25 2 3 9 10 16 17 23 24 30 31 T W F 8 4 5 11 12 18 19 25 26 F S 4 5 6 7 8 9 11 12 13 14 15 16 18 19 20 21 22 23 25 26 27 28 29 30 T 2 5 6 7 8 9 1213 14 15 16 1920 21 22 23 26 27 28 29 30 M W T T W T F 8 1 2 3 9 10 16 17 23 24 30 4 5 6 7 8 11 12 13 14 18 19 20 21 25 26 27 28 15 22 29 September T 1 2 S U S T June W S 3 10 17 24 31 U T W T F 8 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 1 December November F W 1 August T October 8 8 a May T July 8 F 1 2 1 2 7 8 14 15 21 22 28 29 T 5 April S March February January 5 F 1 8 8 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 M T W T F 8 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 1919 M T W T 1 2 F 8 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 8 U T M I yr T 1 2 3 7 8 9 10 13 14 15 16 17 20 21 22 23 24 27 28 29 30 6 W T F 8 8 1 2 3 4 5 9 10 11 12 16 17 18 19 23 24 25 26 6 13 20 27 7 8 14 15 21 22 28 M T F 4 11 18 25 8 5 12 19 26 a U T W 4 5 6 7 11 12 18 14 18 19 20 21 25 26 27 28 (8 ) w T F 8 1 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 2 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 June May .

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 of which varies from nineteen minutes on express schedule to thirty min­ utes on the local schedule. Three trolley lines, running cars at twenty- and thirty-minute intervals, also connect with Philadel­ phia elevated and surface lines. The college buildings and campus occupy a commanding posi­ tion upon a hill not fa r from the center o f the town. The view includes several miles o f 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 of the Religious Society of Friends, fo r the purpose of securing to the youth of the Society an opportunity for higher educational training under the guarded supervision and care o f those o f 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 o f the College was limited to persons belong­ ing to the Society of 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 be 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 Pannsh 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 of each wing is used for lecture and recitation rooms; the remaining floors contain the dormi­ tories of the women students. The Dean of 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 for occupancy at the beginning of the college year 1904-05. The third section of the building was completed in 1916. The total capacity of the hall is about two hundred. It stands in the west campus on the same ridge as Parrish Hall, and commands a fine view of the Delaware River valley. The Hall of Physics and Engineering is a two-story stone building 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, 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 labora­ tories fo r quantitative analysis and for general chemistry. The large amphitheater lecture room, seating one hundred persons and extending to the basement, is reached from this floor. The second floor contains the organic laboratory, the laboratory for qualitative analysis, the laboratory for physical chemistry, the 28 SWAKTHMOEE COLLEGE BULLETIN laboratory 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 of the foundations and floors o f the building. The laboratories are splendidly equipped with all the necessary modern apparatus. The chemical library contains a well-selected list o f scientific and technical books pertaining to chemistry, and complete sets of five o f the leading chemical journals. Through the generosity o f Mrs. Peter T. Berdan, the library has received a complete set of the publications of the London Chemical Society, and a set o f the Journal o f the London Society of Chemical Industry, presented by Mrs. Berdan as a memorial to her son, Frederick T. Berdan, a member o f the Class o f 1890. The Sproul 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 of 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 of 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 modem 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 of the pier reads right ascensions directly. The telescope is provided with the usual oculars, helioscope, position micrometer, double­ slide plateholder, and three ray filters. There is also a photographic telescope of nine inches aper­ ture and forty-five inches focal length, mounted after the de­ sign o f the Brace telescope at Yerkes Observatory. The instru­ ment is provided with a heavy mounting, a heavy driving clock, coarse and fine position circles, a guide telescope, and such other BUILDINGS 29 accessories as make it an effective and convenient instrument. There are also two measuring engines fo r measuring five-by­ seven photographic plates. One o f these was built by Brashear, the other by Gaertner. There is also a blink microscope. Stephen Loines has recently given to the observatory a Polar Equatorial, a new type of telescope, designed and built by the Alvan Clark and Sons’ Corporation. W ith this type o f 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 of the English Scholastic Gothic style. The 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 o f the graduation o f the class o f 1890. The first floor o f the main building contains a stack room and a large, well-lighted reading room finished in dark oak. The reading room is two stories high, with a gallery round three sides. On 30 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN 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 books in common use. Beardsley Hall. This building is of concrete block construc­ tion with reinforced concrete floors, columns, and stairs. It is three stories high. In architectural design it is simple and ef­ fective, representing the latest and best type of factory building construction. The ground floor contains a room used for experi­ mental and research work on the heat treatment of metals, a store room for 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 foundry* furnished with a modem equipment of down-draft forges that is one of the chief advantages of the building. On each of 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 for 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 of especially designed benches for vise work. The third floor, which is similar in plan and dimensions, is equipped for pattern-making and general wood-working. A room on this floor which is used as a reading room and work­ shop library, contains a large number o f technical periodicals and such books o f reference as are constantly required by en­ gineering students. On this floor is located a large motor for operating the elevator and the power machinery, and an addi­ tional 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 fo r ventilation. The building is covered with a slag roof, and, with the ex­ ception of the roof and some wooden partitions on the third floor, is entirely fireproof; the openings from the stair areaway BUILDINGS 31 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 o f countershafting are entirely avoided. The President’s House. The property on the east edge of the campus on the com er of 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 apparatus 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 fo r 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 men’s pool is connected in like manner with the William J. Hall Gymnasium. The rooms are well ventilated and lighted; the pools are o f the most modem 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 o f 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. A number o f shower baths, five-foot steel lockers with combina­ tion locks, and offices for the supervision of the pools have been 32 SWABTHMOBE COLLEGE BULLETIN added to both buildings. A gallery in the men’s pool provides space fo r 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. Four 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, the Fleming automatic type, are directly connected with twentythree-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 W est House (birthplace o f Benjamin West, P. R. A., erected in 1724), Cunningham House (the residence o f the Professor o f Astronomy and Mathematics), six residences fo r members of the Faculty, a laundry building, a lodging house for the domestic servants, and the necessary farm build­ ings. Swarthmore Field and Alumni Field provide excellent facil­ ities for outdoor athletics o f the men. Swarthmore Field com­ prises the football, lacrosse, and soccer grounds, and a good quarter-mile cinder track with a two hundred and twenty yards straight-away. Alumni Field is contiguous with Swarthmore Field and provides an excellent baseball ground. The men’s tennis courts are being constructed in front of Wharton Hall. 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, alumna, and friends o f the College as a tribute to Susan J. Cunningham, who has for many years been closely identified with the interests o f the women students of Swarthmore. SOCIAL L IF E Swarthmore, as a coeducational institution, undertakes to provide college life in a home setting; to supply an atmosphere stu dents’ s o c ie t ie s 33 in which manly and womanly character may develop naturally and completely. The intercourse o f the students is under the care o f 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 o f the College include a gathering' of students and instructors for the reading of the Bible, or for some other suitable exercise, preceded and followed by a period o f silence. Students under twenty-one years o f age are expected to attend either Friends’ Meeting, held every First-day morning in the Meeting House, or, at the request of 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 of religious subjects. Preceding the meeting there are also classes in the First-day School to which students are invited. B y these means, and particularly by individual influence, and by the constant effort to maintain in the institution a spirit in harmony with the purpose of its founders, it is believed that a proper care is exercised to mould the characters o f the students in conformity with Christian standards. STU D EN TS’ SO CIETIES Two literary societies are maintained by the students: the Athenaeum by the men, the Somerville by the women. Regular meetings for literary and other exercises afford the members 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 o f 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 object o f the Joseph Leidy Scientific Society is to keep in touch with the results o f modem investigations in Astronomy, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Engineering. A t its meetings, held monthly, announcements o f recent discoveries are made by 3 34 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN the various instructors, and their meaning and importance are briefly discussed. Papers are also prepared and read by the student members. The Cercle français holds frequent meetings and is open to all students id 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 Engineers Club has for its purpose the reviewing of re­ cent discoveries and achievements in engineering, discussing questions not raised in the class room, giving power in the presentation of topics, promoting intimacy between faculty and students, and providing guidance in the engineering vocations. Meetings are held once in each month in the Beardsley Hall Library. Students majoring in engineering are eligible for membership. The Athletic Association is an organization o f the men for the encouragement of physical training and athletic sports. The W om en’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 of promoting closer fellowship and a truly democratic spirit. Public meetings for LIBRARIES AND READING ROOMS 35 worship are held every Sunday evening, the young men meet­ ing in Wharton Hall and the young women in Parrish TTa.ll 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 of 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 o f the College. I f he desires to grant them permission to effect such an organiza­ 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 o f the fa cu lty: 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 of the matters o f permanent im­ portance in the progress o f the College. L IB R A R IE S AND R E A D IN G ROOMS The libraries of 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 F und; and the General Library Fund. The library is open daily except Sunday, as follows | 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 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 of Friends’ books, tracts, and early writings (many 36 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN very rare), photographs of 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 of interest in connection with the history of the Society. Such contributions are solicited, and should be addressed to the Friends’ Historical Library, Swarthmore, Pa. The library is accessible to all persons inter­ ested in the doctrines and history o f Friends, and ample arrange­ ments are provided for its use for consultation and for reference. Moreover, the great collections of books in the Library o f the University of 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 of the city, áre open to the use of students under proper regulations. The Philadelphia library resources, which are of especial utility in connection with the various departments of 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, scientific, and technical journals. TH E M USEUM OF BIO LO G Y AN D GEOLOGY The Museum contains a collection for educational purposes only, and the specimens from its cases are in constant use in the lecture room and laboratory. It is steadily becoming a more per­ fect means o f 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 Illustrating Comparative Osteology is com­ posed of 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 of vertebrates. 3. The W ilcox 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 of choice typical land, fresh water, and marine shells. These specimens were all selected by the late Dr. Joseph Leidy from the exten­ sive collection of the founder, C. F . Parker, who was for many years the Curator in charge of the Academy o f Natural Sciences o f 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 of Luray and similar districts. 7. The E ckfeldt Herbarium contains over two thousand speci­ mens illustrating the flora o f Pennsylvania. The Annie Shoe­ maker Collection is a valuable addition to this. 8. The Joel Scarlet Collection of Minerals and Crystallo(37) 38 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN graphic Specimens was presented to the Chemical Department by the heirs of the late Joel Scarlet o f Kennett* Square, Pa. This collection, which has been placed in cases located in the library o f the Chemical Building, consists o f 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 o f vertebrates and invertebrates (including the U. S. Fish Commission Educational Collection), of dissected specimens for demonstration in the lectures on Physiology, of 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 PE N SE S The charge for board, room, and tuition ranges from $450 to $550, 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 for prompt pay­ ment in advance. Thirty days after the opening of college 5 per cent, will be added to all bills unpaid at that time. The bill for the seeond payment is mailed before the first of 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 of the first semester receive no benefit from scholarships, as scholarships are credited at the beginning of the second semester. A ll students choose rooms according to date of application for admission. In order to reserve a room in any one of 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 to cover breakage or any other damage to college property, and the loss involved if a student fails to occupy the room reserved for him. When the amount of a student’s breakage exceeds $5 the unexpended balance is returned and a new deposit is required. The necessary furnishings for the rooms in the dormitories are provided by the college, with the exception o f rugs, which are to be furnished by the students. The tuition fee for non-resident students is $175 a year, of which $150 is payable in advance, and the remainder on the first of January. Special students who enroll for less than the prescribed num­ ber of hours will be charged according to the number of hours carried and at the rate o f $10 per credit hour. The charges for room, meals, and tuition are not subject to remission or deduction under any circumstances. Payments are to be made by check or draft to the order o f Swarthmobe College, Swarthmore, Pa. (3 9 ) 40 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN DINING-ROOM RATES Per college year, $200 ; per month, $25 ; per week, $7 ; single breakfast or lunch, 30 cents; single dinner (except Sunday), 40 cents ; Sunday dinner, 50 cents ; dinners per month, $10.50 ; lunches per month, $7.50; breakfasts 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 of the college year are expected to make arrangements in advance at the Suprintendent’s office. The charge for board and room for instructors and adminis­ trative officers is $300 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. Freshmen are expected to leave the College immediately after their last examination is over in the spring in order that their rooms may he used by Commencement visitors. 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 o f $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 follows : For the course in Assaying, no fee, but students pay for all breakage and all materials used; for the course in Mineralogy $3 a semester; for 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 for apparatus and materials used, in connection with his thesis. 41 EXPENSES This last nam ed‘fee is payable at the beginning of the second semester of the Senior year. A fee of $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 of the course. Bach 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 o f other items of living expense such as clothing, care of health, recreation, traveling, etc., which the student must meet. The combined expenditures o f both classes vary consid­ erably, o f CQurse, from student to student. In order to ascer­ tain the limits of such variation a careful statistical inquiry was made at the end o f the college year 1912-13 among a number of students, who at the beginning of 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 Women. Men. Both. Per Cent. ..................... 4 .....................9 ..................... 8 ..................... 8 ..................... 4 ..................... 2 ..................... 4 15 16 16 7 7 2 6 4.9 23.3 23.3 23.3 10.7 8.7 5.8 T ota l. . . ..................... 39 64 103 100.0 Under $500.......... $500 to $600......... $600 to $700......... $700 to $800......... $800 to $900......... $900 to $1,000 . . . Over $1,000 ........ 1 5 24 24 24 11 9 Board, clothing, lodging, care of health, tuition, books, ap paratus, recreation, traveling, and miscellaneous expenses are in­ cluded in the above table. The average total expenditure of the 42 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN thirty-nine women was $716.98; of the sixty-four men, $704.09. It will he noted that slightly, more than one half (exactly 51.5 per cent.) o f the students o f 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 o f Swarthmore students. None o f the one hundred and three students included in the 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. 44 to 48) 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 of 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 of 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. In 1912-13, the average total expenditure o f four such students for tuition, books, ap­ paratus, and recreation— the only directly college costs they had to meet— was $230.25, o f which $161.50, or 70 per cent., was ac­ counted for by tuition fees. Other forms of economizing may be noted. Day students re­ siding along the line of the P. B. & W. R. R. may take advantage of the very low rates of 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 give a portion of their time to remunerative work outside o f the College, moreover, should not underestimate the difficulties in­ EXPENSES 43 volved in performing it and complying satisfactorily with col­ lege requirements at the same time. As a general rule, it may he 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.

E xaminations for A dmission must be taken in June if pos­ sible. Candidates for admission by examination in June are re­ quired to take the examinations o f the College Entrance Exami­ nation Board. For those who find it impossible to take examinations in June examinations in all subjects will be held at the College in September. College E ntrance E xamination B oard E xaminations, J une 17-22, 1918 In June, 1918, the “ Application for Examination” and the “ Recommendation of the Teacher” will be made on separate forms and the “ Application for Examination” will be required a week earlier than in previous years. Applications for examination must be addressed to the Col­ lege Entrance Examination Board, 431 West 117th Street, New York, N. Y .

A dmission by C ertificate . Graduates of Friends’ schools and of public high schools, approved by the faculty and Instruc­ tion Committee, will he admitted to the College on certificate o f the principal, hut 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 ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS 51 their connection with the College if they find them to be in­ sufficiently prepared. The privilege of 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 of Col­ leges and preparatory Schools of the Middle States and Mary­ land, will be accepted in place of examinations on the subjects therein certified to as passed. Information as to the examina­ tions held by this hoard may be obtained by addressing The Secretary of the College Entrance Examination Board, 431 West 117th Street, 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 of credit hours required for graduation, but fewer electives could he included in the four-year college course. ENTRANCE REQUIREM ENTS I t 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 of admission requirements, the faculty of Swarthmore College has approved the following statement, which has been adopted by the National Conference Committee on Standards o f Colleges and Secondary Schools, the College En­ trance Examination Board, and the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching: A unit represents a yea r’s study in any subject in a secondary school, constituting approximately a quarter o f a full year’s work. This statement is designed to afford a standard o f measure- 52 SWAETHMOEE COLLEGE BULLETIN ment fo r 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. The total number of units required on this basis for admission to Swarthmore College is fourteen and a half. AUEAL AND OEAL TESTS IN EOEEIGN MODEEN LANGUAGES In accordance with a resolution adopted in 1908 by the Modem Language Association o f America and a similar one adopted in 1914 by the Association o f Modern Language Teachers o f the Middle States and Maryland, it is recommended that the schools preparing students fo r Swarthmore College prescribe adequate aural and oral tests for all candidates who desire to present a foreign modern language in satisfaction o f requirements for ad­ mission.

E lementary A lgebra (one and a half units). The four fundamental operations ; factoring ; simple equa­ tions in one, two, and three unknown quantities ; radicals ; frac­ tional and negative exponents; quadratic equations in one, two, and three unknown quantities ; ratio and proportion ; binomial theorem for positive integral exponents ; arithmetic and geo­ metric series. The students should acquire facility in algebraic manipulation, in the application o f algebra to concrete problems, and in the interpretation o f results. 2. P lane Geometry (one unit). The theorems and constructions presented in a good modern high school text. Solution o f numerous original exercises and loci problems; application o f geometry to mensuration. 3. E nglish (three units). R equirements in E nglish for 1918-1919 The requirements in English are those recommended by the Na­ tional Conference on Uniform Entrance Requirements in Eng­ lish. The study of English in school has two main objects: (1) command o f correct and clear English, spoken and written; (2) ability to read with accuracy, intelligence, and appreciation. Grammar and Composition ONE AND ONE HALF UNITS The first object requires instruction in grammar and composi­ tion. English grammar should ordinarily be reviewed in the secondary school; and correct spelling and grammatical accu­ racy should be rigorously exacted in connection with all written work during the four years. The principles o f English com­ position governing punctuation, the use o f words, sentences, and paragraphs should be thoroughly mastered ; and practice in composition, oral as well as written, should extend throughout 54 SW ARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN the secondary school period. "Written exercises may well com­ prise letter-writing, narration, description, and easy exposition and argument. It is advisable that subjects for this work be taken from the student’s personal experience, general knowl­ edge, and studies other than English, as well as from his read­ ing in literature. Finally, special instruction in language and composition should be accompanied by concerted effort of teach­ ers in all branches to cultivate in the student the habit o f using good English in his recitations and various exercises, whether oral or written. L iterature ONE AND ONE HALE UNITS The second object is sought by means o f two lists of books, headed respectively reading and study, from which may be framed a progressive course in literature covering four years. In connection with both lists, the student should be trained in reading aloud and be encouraged to commit to memory some o f the more notable passages both in verse and in prose. As an aid to literary appreciation, he is further advised to acquaint himself with the most important facts in the lives o f the authors whose works he reads and with their place in literary history. A. READING The aim o f this course is to foster in the student the habit of intelligent reading and to develop a taste for good literature, by giving him a first-hand knowledge of some o f its best speci­ mens. He should read the books carefully, but his attention should not be so fixed upon details that he fails to appreciate the main purpose and charm of what he reads. W ith a view to large freedom of choice, the books provided for reading are arranged in the following groups, from each of which at least two selections are to be made, except as other­ wise provided under Group I.

When examinations are taken at the College the two examina­ tions in English may be taken separately, one at the close of the college year and the other in the autumn. Too much emphasis cannot be laid on the necessity, especially in the preparation o f the work assigned for careful study, of persistent drill looking toward the attainment of thoroughness, accuracy, and exactness. Both the entrance examination and (in the case of students provisionally admitted on certificate) the work of the first semester may be expected to test these quali­ ties. ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS 59 4.

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 of Greece to the death of Alexander.] 12. E lementary L atin {two units). First Latin Book; reading which shall not be less in amount than Caesar’s Gallic War, I-IV , and. which may be selected from Caesar {Gallic W ar and Civil W ar) and Nepos {L iv e s ); the writ­ ing o f simple Latin prose. 13. A dvanced L atin {two units). Reading which shall not be less in amount than Cicero, The Orations against Catiline, F or the Manilian Law and F or Archias; and Virgil, Aeneid, I-V I. This amount o f reading may be selected from the follow ing: Cicero {Orations, Letters, and Be Senectute) 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 forms, and the ordinary syntax and vocabulary o f the prose authors read. Candidates should be examined in translation at sight o f both prose and verse. • The vocabulary, construction, and range of ideas of 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 ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS 65 meaning of each word— and so, gradually, of the whole sentence — just as it stands ; the sentence should be read and understood in the order of the original, with full appreciation o f the force of 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 o f 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. 14. E lementary S cience ( one or tivo units). The equivalent of a year’s course, five periods a week, in each o f two branches of science, each to comprise both class room 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 of sciences: P hysics.— The course of instruction in physics should in­ clude : (1) The study of one standard textbook, for the purpose of obtaining a connected and comprehensive view o f the subject. The student should be given opportunity and encouragement to consult other scientific literature. (2) Instruction by lecture table demonstrations, to be used mainly fo r illustration o f the facts and phenomena o f physics in their qualitative aspects and in their practical applications. (3) Individual laboratory work consisting o f experiments re­ quiring at least the time of thirty double periods. The experi­ ments performed by each student should number at least .thirty. The work should be so distributed as to give a wide range of observation and practice. 5 66 SWAETHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN 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 of thought and expression. The exercises should be chosen with a view to furnishing forceful illustrations o f fundamental principles and their practical ap­ plications. They should be such as yield results capable of ready interpretation, obviously in conformity with thebry, and free from the disguise o f unintelligible units. Slovenly work should not be tolerated, but the effort for pre­ cision should not lead to the use of apparatus or processes so complicated as to obscure the principle involved. Throughout the whole course special attention should be paid to the common illustrations of 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 of algebra and geometry to reduce the difficulties o f solution. Unneces­ sary mathematical difficulties should be avoided and care should be exercised to prevent the student from losing sight o f the con­ crete facts in the manipulation of symbols. C h e m i s t r y .— 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 mainly as a basis for questioning upon the general principles in­ volved in the pu pil’s laboratory investigations. . (3) The study of at least one standard textbook, to the end that the student may gain a comprehensive and corrected view o f the most important facts and laws o f elementary chemistry. B o t a n y .— The work in this subject should include those topics in the leading divisions of 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, ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS 67 and the sequence, the methods, and the textbooks are left to the judgment o f 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 o f 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 superficially. Individual laboratory work by the students is essential and should receive at least doubly 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 h y s i c a l G e o g r a p h y .— The candidate’s preparation should include : (1) The study of 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 o o l o g y .— The requirement in this subject is based upon the statement of a committee appointed by the American Society of Zoologists. The outline o f a course in general zoology is con­ tained in the publications of the College Entrance Examination Board. The outline should be developed on the basis o f a course of 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 of 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 68 SWART PI MORE COLLEGE BULLETIN eluding 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 o l id G e o m e t r y ( one half of a unit). The theorems and constructions in a good modern 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, of four or five reci­ tations a week, in its preparation. 14. T r ig o n o m e t r y ( one half o f a u n i t ) . The trigonometric ratios; solution of trigonometric equations; reduction of trigonometric identities; multiple angles; theory and use of 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 of 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 of Arts. Students who come from other colleges must present full credentials for both college and preparatory work, and a letter o f honorable dismissal. I f the credentials are satis­ factory to the Committee on Admission, the candidate will be 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 of cor­ responding courses at Swarthmore College. Application for advanced sta,nding should be made in writing to the Dean. Ex­ aminations will be held only at the College. REQUIREM ENTS FOR GRADUATION T H E GENERAL UNDERGBADUATE COURSE OP STUDY The degree o f Bachelor of 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 of individuals by permitting a wide range of election on the part o f 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 of a thesis from a candidate for the Bachelor’s degree is left to the option of the head of the department in which the m ajor is taken. Candidates for graduation in the Department of Liberal Arts are required to complete one hundred and twenty-four “ hours” in addition to the prescribed work in physical education. For the number of hours required for graduation in the Departments of Engineering and in the Department of 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” fo r graduation as penal­ ties for absences from collection or from class room, 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 of the student is estimated at an average of two hours for 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 of 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. The prescribed number o f hours for students majoring in the Departments of Liberal Arts is seventeen for each semester (69) 70 SWABTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN of the freshman year and fifteen for each semester of the sopho­ more, junior, and senior years. The prescribed number o f hours for students majoring in Engineering ranges from fifteen to twenty for each semester. Quality Points.— A n average quality grade shall be required for graduation, and for the purpose of 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; for grade B, two points; for grade C, one point; for 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 of all students, both those in arts and in ap­ plied science, is one1hundred and twenty-four. This is a re­ quirement 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 of credit and one hundred and twenty-four “ points.” Students in applied science will be re­ quired for 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.” E xtra òr Less Hours.— 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 Ex­ tra "Work. Students often find it difficult, however, to make out a course o f study for the exact number of hours, and fo r 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 of the course adviser must be secured in writing on the Enrollment 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 low C in any subject or below B in more than one department during the preceding semester shall be permitted to enroll for REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION 71 more than one hour in excess of the prescribed number. For students entering from other schools or colleges these grades shall be determined from their entrance certificates. No application of a student to enroll for more or less than the prescribed num­ ber of hours shall be considered by the committee unless ac­ companied by the written endorsement of the course ad­ viser. 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 o f 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 of each department. The prescribed work, amounting to forty-three hours, ex­ clusive of the Physical Education, includes the following studies: Group 1. English.-—Ten hours, fo u r .o f 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. Nine hours, three of which must be taken in Bible Study, and six in one of the following departments: History, History of Religion and Philosophy, Economics, Political Sci­ ence, Psychology and Education. Group 4. Biology, Chemistry, Physics.— Six hours, to be taken in any one of the three departments, and to include at least one credit-hour o f 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.— F or 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 writ­ ten endorsement of the course adviser, and after notification to 72 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN the professor in charge of the subject in which the student failed. A ll prescribed studies must he completed or in actual process o f completion at the'beginning ,of 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 fo r 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 of the second semester o f the senior year. Application for permission to substitute an elective for 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 of 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 of 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 of 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 o f 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 of the college programme will permit: 73 REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION Anthropology, Art, Astronomy, Bible Study, Biology, Botany, Chemistry, Economics, Education, Engineering, English, French, Geology, German, Greek, History, History o f Beligion, 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 m ajor subject. The President will designate the course adviser for 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 o f 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 of the Committee on Prescribed and Extra W ork before the work is entered upon. SUMMER SCHOOL W O RK Students desiring to transfer credit in a prescribed subject from a University Summer School are required to secure the endorsement o f the head o f the department concerned before entering upon the work. R EM O VAL OF CONDITIONS Members o f the graduating class must make up all outstanding conditions and deficiencies by the end o f 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 fo r 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 (76) EXEMPTION FKOM EXAMINATIONS 77 make up part or all of 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 of an “ E ,” i. e., complete failure, which cannot he made up. SYSTEM OF GRADES Reports o f students’ work are received at the Dean’s office four times a year; at the end of each semester and at each mid­ semester. A ll grades are mailed to parents at the end of 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 ce n t.); B (good, 89-80 per ce n t.); C (fair, 79-70 per c e n t.); D (poor, 69-60 per cent.) % E (failed) ; 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 hv 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 of a course is incomplete; that is, when the work done in the course is satisfactory with the exception of a small, definite part of i t ; for example, the writing of a theme, the read­ ing of an assignment, or the taking of a final examination. The mark “ conditioned” shall not he 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 of grades are filed at the Dean’s office, the exact character of the conditions imposed wil| be defined, and the nature of the work required to remove conditions reported in writing. The students will then be notified by the Dean o f the terms o f the conditions. E X E M PTIO N FROM E X A M IN ATIO N S No underclassmen shall be exempted from semester final ex­ aminations ; seniors with grades of A or B shall be exempt in the final examinations of the second semester. 78 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN ABSEN CES FROM E X A M IN A TIO N A ny student who is absent from an examination, announce­ ment o f which was made in advance of the date o f the examina­ tion, shall be given an examination at another than the scheduled hour only after presentation 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 cause making the absence from ex­ amination imperatively necessary, and (2) of 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 examination. No examinations in absentia shall be permitted. This rule shall bè interpreted to mean that instructors shall give examina­ tions only at the college and under direct departmental super­ vision. ABSEN CES FROM CLASSES Each instructor shall make on the form provided for the pur­ pose daily reports of student absences to the office of the Dean. A ll powers o f supervision and discipline over student absences are vested in a Committee on Absences to be composed of the Dean, The Dean of 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 of 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 incurring it on a form provided for this purpose at the Dean’s office. Such ex­ planation must be made by the student in advance o f the absence, or, i f this be impossible, at the earliest practicable time there­ after. In case the absence is not reported in advance the student shall be required to state fully on the form referred to above ABSENCES FROM CLASSES 79 the reasons for his delay in reporting it. Failure to explain ab­ sences promptly and adequately shall be sufficient ground for classifying them as disallowed. A ll absences not coming under the definition of allowable ab­ sence shall be considered disallowed absences subject to discipline. In the exercise of their powers of discipline over absences of the latter character the Committee on Absences may warn students, parents, Or guardian; may place students on probation and fix the terms o f said probation; and may require students to make hours of credit for graduation in addition to the requirements as stated in the Catalogue ; provided, however, that such credit penalties shall not exceed the ratio o f the number o f absences to the number of hours of attendance required to make one hour o f credit, and, provided further, that, in the case o f students who reach the end of the first semester of their senior year with a penalty o f less than one full hour of credit imposed under this section, said penalty may be removed by the Committee on A b­ sences. Disallowed absences incurred in any course in which the num­ ber o f absences already recorded is equal to the number of hours per week for which the course is given shall be counted double. F or each disallowed absence on days beginning or ending all vacations and holidays, including the summer vacation, students shall be required to make one half hour of credit for graduation in addition to the requirements as stated in the Catalogue. A b­ sences penalized under this section shall not be subject to dis­ cipline provided under other sections o f these rules. Students shall have the right to a hearing before the Commit­ tee on Absences in cases involving the imposition of credit penal­ ties by the Committee, and the right to petition the Faculty in cases where, after such hearing has been given, they are dissatis­ fied with the decision of the Committee. In all questions involv­ ing the number of a student’s absences the reports of Instructors shall be considered authoritative.

French and Spanish The instruction in this department is under the direction of Professor Isabelle Bronk. Dr. Lander MacClintock is Instructor and Mercedes C. Iribas is Assistant. 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 end o f the second year, the authors studied are all selected from those o f modem 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 of ex­ pression constantly occurring in the higher grades of literature. 86 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN The fact that French is a living tongue is kept ever in view. F or this reason but little English is used in the classroom. Free composition, dictation, memorizing, and conversation are re­ quired throughout the courses. Much attention is given to pro­ nunciation, 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 of this language, and also some idea o f the modem literature o f Spain. From eleven to fourteen courses in French are given each year. The class in Course 21 is divided into three sections, the class in Course 22 into two. Students who are prepared in Elementary French (see page 59) enter Course 22; those who are prepared in Advanced French (see page 61) enter Courses 23 and 25.

Selections from the Latin dramatists and from a variety of prose and verse writers will be read in 1917-18. Sight reading tends to make the student rely upon his own memory and ingenuity rather than upon lexicon and grammar, thereby making the study more natural and less difficult.

Hicks is Assistant Pro­ fessor, and Elizabeth B. Oliver is Instructor. The work in this department falls along two lines. The aim is primarily to develop and train the voice to be an efficient in­ strument in self expression and the interpretation of literature. The department also endeavors to give thorough training in the principles and practice of effective public speaking; to de­ velop poise, confidence, and the clearness o f thought and utter­ ance, indispensable to the man whose success depends upon his ability to deal with his fellow men, whether his field o f activity be professional, technical, or in the business world. In line with the belief that frequent practice in speaking is the requisite for successful results, the work in practical public speaking has been arranged in one hour courses to meet the needs o f students who desire to carry work in the department through­ out the college course. 81.

Public Speaking Contests and Prizes The various public speaking contests are under the direction of the College Debate Board, which consists of three members of the Faculty, and five students, elected annually. The public speaking events are designed to bring out the ability of the stu­ dents and to encourage college spirit. Besides having the honor of representing the College in a number of important inter­ collegiate events, the students compete for prizes in the various contests. An annual oratorical contest, open to all students, is held in February. The student winning first place represents the Col­ lege in the Pennsylvania Oratorical Union contest, in which Lafayette, Lehigh, Ursinus, Muhlenberg, and Franklin and Marshall are competitors. Pennsylvania 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 of the intercollegiate debate is that of the round-robin.- Each college prepares two teams, one on the affirmative and one on the negative of the question, which is de­ bated. A t Swarthmore there is a trial debate among the stu­ dents to determine the teams for 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 of the Sophomore and Freshman Classes. The student presenting the best debate is awarded a gold medal offered by the President o f the College.

H istory and International Relations The instruction in this department is under the direction of Professor William I. Hull. Oscar Rudolph Sandstrom, In­ structor in Greek and Latin, conducts Course 90. W alter W il­ liam Maule and Clarence Paul Nay are Departmental Assistants. 100 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN The courses are conducted by means of classroom lectures and library work, which are coordinated by the students in written outlines and reports. The purpose o f the department is to afford training in the discriminating use o f historical materials; to cultivate the historical habit of m ind; and to develop a knowledge o f European, English, and United States history, as a whole, to­ gether with a more detailed knowledge of certain great epochs, institutions, and personages in the history o f western civilization. International relations are emphasized throughout all the courses in history, and five courses are devoted to a study of the development of international relations and the laws governing them, particularly as illustrated in the work of the two Hague Conferences. 90.

O n e o r tw o h o u r s * c r e d it f o r e a c h s e m e s te r . The work in this department may be greatly aided by the books and other collections in the following Philadelphia libraries and museums: The Pennsylvania Historical Society, Locust and Thirteenth Streets, which possesses an admirable collection of material relating to Pennsylvania and American Colonial His­ tory; the University of Pennsylvania’s Library and Archaeo­ logical Museum, Thirty-fourth and Spruce Streets, which are especially rich in materials relating to m odem and classical Euro­ pean History. The department itself is building up as rapidly as possible a collection o f books and documents relating to inter­ national law and diplomacy. Political Science The instruction in this department is under the direction of Professor Robert C. Brooks. The fundamental aim of the courses offered in political science is to prepare students for intelligent and effective citizenship. 102 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN 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 of 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, hut also for the valuable sugges­ tions they may yield for the solution o f 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 o f civics. Students who expect to devote themselves to advanced study and research in political science should he 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 of the significance of political science will be lost. Psychology, philosophy, and pedagogy are also valuable aids. A reading knowledge of German or French should be acquired as soon as possible by students of political science, and both o f 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.

Caroline Hadley Robinson is Assistant. Good citizenship implies intelligent citizenship. The broadest purpose of college instruction in Economics is to contribute to the former by the cultivation of the latter. From this point of view the study of Economics should appeal to all students. In a narrower way, work in Economies should prove useful to those who intend to devote themselves to law, business, journalism, philanthroopy, or the public service. Finally, for those who wish to prepare for investigation or teaching in this field, college in­ struction, 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 for all who intend to devote much time to Economics. A knowledge o f general biological theory, of 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 of 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. 111. Principles o f Economics. Bobinson.

T E A C H E R S ’ A P P O IN T M E N T COM M ITTEE A Teachers’ Appointment Committee, of which Dean Alexan­ der is the Chairman, was instituted in 1912. The duty of this committee is to assist the graduates of the College in their effort to secure satisfactory teaching positions. 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. T H E STATE COLLEGE CERTIFICATE Students graduating from College and completing the re­ quired number of courses in Psychology and Education, includ­ ing the required observation and teaching, will be recommended by the department for the State College Certificate, which carries exemption from all examinations for .positions in the public schools of Pennsylvania, and becomes permanent after three years of teaching. This certificate is accepted by a number of other states. COURSE OF STUDY No course in this department should' be taken before the Sophomore year. The courses designed for the Sophomore year are Ethics (136), and General Psychology (139) ; for the Junior year, History of Education (144) ; for the Senior year, Prin­ ciples and Methods of Secondary Education (142), Directed Ob­ servation and Teaching (146), and Educational Measurements (147).

Samuel Copeland Palmer is As­ sistant Professor. The courses in Biology are designed to give a broad and liberal view of the facts o f life as a part of the general system of culture. The successful completion of the several courses as part of the general work for the degree of A.B. is preparatory to the study of Medicine, Forestry, or of Agriculture. Students are thus enabled to enter the technical schools of the leading uni­ versities in the above-named branches. Special work in the dissection o f the human body is likewise afforded students who are preparing for the study o f Medicine. A rt students who are taking their year of required science in the Department o f Biology have a choice of three courses (155, 161, 164) in which to work off this requirement. DEPARTMENTS AND COURSES OP INSTRUCTION 113 The courses are arranged so as to present a logical sequence throughout the four years o f college work for students making Biology their major subject. Students making Biology their m ajor will be required to take one year each in Chemistry and Physics, and the equivalent o f two college years in a modem language, preferably Ger­ man. The requirement by the foremost medical schools o f the coun­ try o f two years’ preparation in Biology is fulfilled by these courses in Swarthmore College. These courses likewise lead to the post-graduate work of the university. 155. Vertebrate Zoology. Professor Trotter. T h r e e h o u r s a w e e k th r o u g h o u t th e y e a r .

Blessing. George W . Lewis is Assistant Professor o f Mechanical Engineering, George P. Stocker is As­ sistant Professor of Civil Engineering, Lewis Fussell is Assist­ ant Professor o f Electrical Engineering, John J. Matthews is In­ structor. Edward R. Meredith is Lecturer on Railroad Manage­ ment. 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 of the College near Philadelphia and the im­ portant manufacturing centers in its vicinity enables students to visit a great variety of 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 of 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 of 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. When circumstances permit, undergraduates are encouraged to engage in engineering work during the summer vacation. The experi­ ence and maturity so gained are o f great value in subsequent collegiate and professional work. The instruction in this department is given both by lectures 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 o f the student. DEPARTMENTS AND COURSES OF INSTRUCTION 121 T H E E Q U IPM E N T The Field Equipment is ample for practice in surveying, and includes transits, levels, plane tables, compasses and other aux­ iliary apparatus. Engineering Library and Club Room. This is a large, beau­ tifully furnished room on the second floor of the Engineering Building. It is equipped with electrical connections for stereopticon lantern or motion picture machine. The book shelves in this room contain about one thousand volumes of technical works in which is included transactions of engineering societies and bound volumes o f the most important technical papers and journals. Current issues of all the leading engineering magazines are also to be found on the reading tables. Drafting Rooms. 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 for use in sketch­ ing and to illustrate the principles of 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 for measuring elongation, compression and deflec­ tion, a Fairbanks cement testing machine with a complete equip­ ment 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. F or tests in mechanical engineering the equipment consists of steam and gas engine indicators, planimeters, tachometers, 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. 122 SWART H MORE COLLEGE BULLETIN 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 dyna­ mometer, 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 for testing with Prony brakes indicating apparatus, etc. This laboratory also contains a “ R ecco” 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 of 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. For 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 of the Pelton type. The Direct Current Laboratory contains a plug type switch­ board supplied with direct current power and connected with 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-horse­ DEPARTMENTS AND COURSES OP INSTRUCTION 123 power variable speed induction motor, and the direct current power from the substation located in the adjooining 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-K V-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 modern 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 of several types, a repulsion motor, an inductor generator, two synchronous con­ verters, a synchronous motor, synchronous generator and a vari­ able frequency motor generator set givihg 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 124 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN 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 fu lly equipped General Electric oscillograph is freely used to show wave shape and phase relations. F or the work in illumination there are a Bunsen photometer o f 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 of 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 W ORK This work extends through two years for all engineering stu­ dents, and may he continued if desired. The Machine Shop occupies a large portion o f the second floor o f Beardsley Hall and it has a floor area o f 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 Woodworking Shop extends through the entire length of the third floor of Beardsley Hall, and has a floor area of more than 3,300 square feet. The work benches are fitted with quickacting 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 of individual assignment of tools and supplies is followed here, and each stu­ dent is provided with a complete set of tools. The machine equipment is of the best and comprises a motor-driven Oliver thirty-eight-inch band saw with tilting table, and screens and guard for the protection o f 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 o f moulded concrete. The forge shop is situated on the ground floor o f the building and covers an area o f more than 1,000 square feet. The Foundry is also located on the same floor, and has a floor space o f more than 1,000 square feet. A gas heated cupola or furnace is in use for melting metals in crucibles. The addi­ tional equipment consists of moulding benches, flasks, and other accessory apparatus. Fees. A fee of five dollars for each semester will be charged for each course in woodworking, forging and machine practice. A fee of two dollars for each semester will be charged for each 126 SWABTHMOBE COLLEGE BULLETIN course in field practice and surveying. An additional fee of two dollars will be charged for the annual survey. A Deposit o f five dollars will be required of 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 of the course. BEABDSLEY HALL A description of Beardsley Hall may be found on page 30 of this B u l l e t i n .THE MAJOE IN ENGINEEEING The engineering courses extend through four years; and, in this respect, differ from the other major 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 three courses: Mechanical, Electrical, or Civil Engineering. The courses o f study constituting the major in Engineering are given in detail below. The work for the first two years is common to all students in Mechanical, Electrical, and Civil Engineering and includes work in English, Pure Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Drawing and Shop Work. The work offered in the shops throughout the several courses is intended to teach certain principles of manufacturing and to familiarize the student with methods and processes o f the mechanic arts. The student works in the various shops o f the department, and completes in each a series of practical exer­ cises. He thus obtains some knowledge o f the nature and prop­ erties o f the various materials he employs, and becomes familiar with the use and care of 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 ,of a shop clerk, and each student is required to spend a part o f his time 127 DEPARTMENTS AND COURSES OF INSTRUCTION in the office to familiarize himself with the system. The object is to make the shop courses not only a means o f developing the powers of observation and judgment, together with the acquisi­ tion of mechanical skill, hut 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 of 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.

Marriott is Assistant Pro­ fessor. John H. Pitman is Instructor, and Caroline H. Smedley is Research Assistant. Rev. Walter A. Matos is Voluntary Ob­ server. Murat Louis Johnson of the Penn Mutual Life Insur­ ance Company, is nomresident lecturer in the mathematics of 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 fulfill the College requirement of six hours of Mathematics for all candidates for graduation, by taking Courses 251 and 253, by taking three hours of Gourse 252 and Course 253, o f by taking six hours of 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 of 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. Results o f these studies are published in the Sproul Observatory publications, and various scientific journals. Stu­ dents interested in either o f these problems may work with ad­ vantage 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 Mathematics and Physics, meets on the first and third Tuesday of each month in the lecture room of the Sproul Observatory. A t 138 SW ARTH MORE COLLEGE BULLETIN these meetings, reports are given by students and instructors on subjects usually not presented in the .classroom. Active partici­ pation 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 pub­ lished in the last two decades. It contains complete sets of nearly all the American Mathematical and Astronomical peri­ odicals, and sets, some of which are complete, some of which are not, of the leading English, German, and French periodicals. This library receives in exchange fo r the publications o f the observatory, the publications of many o f the leading observa­ tories o f the world. The departmental library has been repeatedly enriched through the benefactions o f Professor S. J. Cunningham. Upon her retirement in 1906, she donated her private library. In 1908 she gave a fund which was spent for the library, and in 1910 she gave a fund the income o f which will be devoted to the pur­ chase o f books and periodicals. A fund given by Senator William C. Sproul has made possible the purchase of complete files of various astronomical periodicals and other astronomical publica­ tions. COURSES IN MATHEMATICS 251.

Physics The instruction in this department is under the direction of Professor Harvey C. Hayes. The department aims to give such a thorough and general training in the subject during the first two years’ work as will enable one to pursue intelligently the work given in engineering and advance work in any department of physics. This work also affords ample preparation for teaching Physics in high schools and preparatory schools. Instruction, in most of the courses, is supplemented by rigor­ ous laboratory work. The apparatus used in connection with this work is all modern and mostly new. The laboratory is well equipped for advanced work in the study of light, or electricity and magnetism. Students who major in Physics must be prepared to do faith­ ful and painstaking work. They should, if possible, start the work in the freshman year. They must have a reading knowl­ edge of either French or German before entering the work of the Junior year. Those who major in Physics may equip themselves for the following pursuits: post-graduate work in any leading univer­ sity, or research work in most of the numerous industrial labora­ tories. 142 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN No credit will be given for the first semester’s work in Courses 271 and 272 unless followed by the work o f the second semester.

The aim o f the departments of Physical Education is to pro­ mote the general physical well being o f the students, and to assist them to gain the hygienic, corrective, and educative effect of rightly regulated exercise. In order that this object may be better attained, and to assist the directors in gaining a definite knowledge of the strength and weakness of 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, i f there is a need for them. F or a general statement in regard to the facilities for physical training at Swarthmore see pages 31 and 32. Physical Education of the Men Instruction in this department is under the direction of E. LeRoy Mercer, M.D. Two hours a week of regular prescribed work are required of all men in the first and second year classes. Intercollegiate contests in various athletic and aquatic sports are conducted by the Athletic Association, but under the over­ sight of the Athletic Committee and the Director of Physical Education, who may at any time forbid any man entering a con­ test whose physical condition is not satisfactory. 1.

Physical Education of the Women This department is under the direction o f Lillian Shaw and Dr. Mary R. Hadley Lewis. One hour of exercise each day except Sunday is required of all resident and non-resident women students throughout their college course. Two of these periods of each week must be spent in supervised classwork— field hockey in the fall, classwork in the gymnasium in the winter, basket ball and tennis in the spring. On the other four days of the week some form of outdoor exercise must be taken. This may he tennis, riding, cross-country tramps, or swimming. Exceptions to these re­ quirements are made only for physical disability and at the dis­ cretion of the physician in charge, in which case suitable work is prescribed. Exercise in the gymnasium, swimming and all athletic sports are under the personal supervision of the director. First-year students are required to attend a course of lectures in Hygiene, given once a week during the first and second semester. Application for information in regard to the regulation dress for athletics and gymnastics should be made to the Dean. 1. First Year Gymnastics. Miss Shaw.

SW ARTH M ORE CLUBS T H E P H IL A D E L P H IA SW A R T H M O R E CLUB The Philadelphia Swarthmore Club was founded in 1889. Good fellowship and love of Alma Mater have been the key­ stone in the arch o f the club’s continued success. Since 1899 (168) SWARTHMORE CLUBS 169 the club has held without interruption an annual meeting and dinner, the Philadelphia association hping 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, hut it is the practice to appoint each year a committee to take charge of the meeting and dinner for the ensuing year. During his lifetime, Mr. Gerrit E. H. Weaver was the moving spirit and chairman o f this committee. 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 STE R N S W A R TH M O R E CLUB In December, 1903, at an informal dinner, about a dozen Swarthmoreans met and organized the Chicago Swarthmore Club. The Chicago Club met for a year or so, and, having elected Francis E. Broomell, ’93, secretary and treasurer, decided to widen its field, and offer an annual free honor scholarship, con­ sisting of board, room, and tuition. The club was then called the Western Swarthmore Club, and its membership soon increased to about seventy graduates and ex-students in the West. In 1916 the scholarship was offered to men only. It is open for competition to all high and preparatory school graduates west of the Allegheny Mountains, and the Club has sent twelve stu­ dents through the freshman year, and has been the means of inducing more than twice that number to choose Swarthmore. In this way all the principal high schools in the Middle West hear of 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; Secretary, Thomas R. Taylor, ’12; Chairman Entertainment Committee, Lloyd D. Lewis, ’13.

TR EN TO N SW A R T H M O R E CLUB The Trenton Swarthmore Club is an organization of the Swarthmore men located in Trenton, N. J., formed primarily fo r the purpose of furnishing a scholarship in Swarthmore Col­ lege to the preparatory schools in Trenton and vicinity. The organization offers yearly a competitive honor scholarship of $200 for a period of two years. The club awards the scholar­ ship to a male applicant from the neighboring territory, which includes seven of the most prominent preparatory schools within a radius o f ten miles. The requirements of 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 of activity.

SW A R T H M O R E CLU B OF W E S T ‘ JE R SE Y A meeting o f 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 o f West Jersey.” Its purpose is expressed in the follow ing: “ We SWARTHMORE CLUBS 171 the subscribers, hereby form ourselves into an association under the name o f the ‘ Swarthmore Club of West Jersey,’ for the pur­ pose o f promoting the best interests o f Swarthmore College. Dated this the 31st day of March, A. D. 1911. ’ ’ This association now numbers thirty-six members. T H E N E W Y O R K SW A R TH M O R E CLUB The New York Swarthmore Club is an informal organization, possessing neither constitution nor by-laws, but having duly elected officers and a board of governors. The Club, which in­ cludes in its membership over a hundred Swarthmore men, resi­ dent in the Metropolitan district, holds semi-annual reunions and has been fortunate in having as guests on these occasions members of the faculty. The New York concert o f the College Musical Club last winter was given under the auspices o f the Club. One o f the organizers and the first President was the late Joseph Fitch, 1879, who served on the board o f governors until his death. His loyalty, enthusiasm, and wise counsel will be sadly missed. The present officers are: President, Frederick A. Seaman, ’83 ; Secretary and Treasurer, E. P. Palmer, ’06; Board o f Governors: Frederick A. Seaman, ’83; Henry C. Turner, ’93; R. Grant Bennett, ’97; John P. Broomell, ’99; Maurice E. Griest, ’04; Edward P. Palmer, ’06; Henry C. Field, ’09; W. Laurie Sea­ man, ’15.
