In accordance with Friendly traditions, Swarthmore students undertake a program of selfdiscovery and self-development intended to prepare them for well-rounded lives as individual human beings, and as respon­ sible members of their communities. Their success in this pro­ gram depends upon hard intellectual work supplemented by participation in sports, in arts and crafts, and in other enter­ prises which make group life stimulating and rewarding. College requirements point to the value of a variety of courses during the first two years, followed by some degree of specialization during the junior and senior years. Freshmen and sophomores are helped to plan their work so that they will explore new fields and also test their ability to do well on the college level in subjects which interested them in high school. By the end of the sophomore year, they should know their own bent well enough to choose the field of their concentration. They should know also whether they wish to continue to enroll in courses or whether they prefer to engage in "Honors Work," (p. 29), a kind of study which has had special attention at Swarthmore during the past twenty years. Through a method of instruction in small seminars, honors work enables inde­ pendent students to progress at their own rate and to develop initiative and a sense of responsibility, while profiting at the same time from close association with their instructors. THE COLLEGE COMMUNITY Swarthmore is a residential college with a normal enrol­ ment of seven hundred and fifty students, divided equally between men and women. The campus, which is a tract of two hundred and fifty acres, gives space for dormitories and for houses for members of the faculty. Living near each other, faculty and students meet outside as well as inside the class­ room. As the village of Swarthmore is a commuting suburb of Philadelphia, the college enjoys the out-of-door life of the country, and the opportunities offered by a city. The college is also sufficiently near three other institutions, Bryn Mawr and Haverford Colleges, and the University of Pennsylvania, to make possible some sharing of instructors and libraries. 25 WAR-TIME ADJUSTMENTS Swarthmore College is attempting to meet its obligations in war time by training men and women to fulfill the demands of national service, and, at the same time, by continuing to em­ phasize the permanent values of a liberal education. With the latter aim in view, students are urged to carry on, so far as they can, the kind of program in which they find their fullest personal development, confident that they will thereby become capable of making their richest contribution to their communi­ ties. This aim is within the present range of possibility for all women students and for men under draft age who may make a start in the work to which they will return after the war. The immediate need of preparing men and women for national service is met by a variety of courses in the natural sciences and engineering; by a Civilian Foreign Service program in the social sciences, and by a Naval V-12 program in which instruc­ tion is completely in the hands of the Swarthmore College Faculty. The undergraduate body now includes a unit of 300 appren­ tice seamen who will be candidates for commissions as deck, engineering, and medical officers, in addition to 150 civilian men and 350 women. All students continue to be housed in college dormitories and to have their meals in the college din­ ing room. Civilian and Navy students attend the same classes, and cooperate fully in athletics, student activities, and college social life. In order to give civilian students a chance to complete as much of their education as possible before they may be called into service, the college has adopted an accelerated program which includes three terms of sixteen weeks each. Eight such terms constitute the normal requirements for the B.A. or B.S. degree, but a student who enrolls for three terms a year will complete his work in 32 months. If he is called into service after his seventh term, he may be granted a special war degree. Freshmen are accepted at the beginning of each term, in November, March and July. The accelerated program is not compulsory but is strongly recommended for all men and for women in science. Women in other lines are urged to under­ take it unless by absenting themselves from college for a term they accomplish other work of real significance. 26 THE STUDENT'S PROGRAM G eneral Statem ent Swarthmore College offers the degree of Bachelor of Arts and the degree of Bachelor of Science. The latter is given only in the Division of Engineering; the former, in the Divisions of the Humanities, the Social Sciences, and Mathematics and the Natural Sciences.* Eight terms of resident study which are normally completed in four years lead to a Bachelor's degree. During the war, an accelerated program of three terms a year is optional. During the first half of their college program, all students are expected to complete general college requirements, to choose their major and minor subjects, and to prepare for advanced work in these subjects by taking certain prerequisites. Their schedule is made up of full or halt courses. Four full courses or their equivalent in half courses constitute the normal pro­ gram for two terms. A full course represents from ten to twelve hours of work a week, including class meetings and laboratory periods. The program for upper class students affords a choice between two methods of study: Honors Work, which may lead to a degree with Honors, and General Courses. An honors student concentrates upon three related subjects which he studies by the seminar method; the system will be explained more fully below. A student in general courses may concen­ trate somewhat less, and continues to have a schedule of four full courses for two terms. In addition to scholastic requirements for graduation, all students must meet certain standards of participation in Phys­ ical education as set forth in the statement of that department (see pp. 97, 98) and must attend the Collection exercises of the college (see p. 41). Course Advisers The course advisers of freshmen and sophomores are mem­ bers of the faculty appointed by the deans. For juniors and seniors the advisers are the chairmen of their major depart­ ments or their representatives. *For groupings of departments, see page 19. 27 PROGRAM FOR FRESHMEN AND SOPHOMORES The general requirements for the first four terms include: (a) Two full courses selected from two of the three Divisions: Humanities, Social Sciences, Mathematics and the Natural I Sciences. (b) Prerequisites for the work of the last four terms in major I and minor subjects. (c) Completion of the minimum foreign language require- I ment. An exceptionally well prepared freshman may demon- I strate that he has completed this requirement before entering college by his rating in an Achievement Test given by the College Entrance Examination Board. The results of the test indicate, however, that most students need to devote from one to four terms to further study of language. The language requirement is explained as follows: E ach student will pursue one foreign la n g u a g e to a point eq u iv a len t to the com pletion of Course 2. The d esired stan dard is n orm ally m et on the b a sis of four y ea rs w ork in high school, or of th ree or tw o y ea rs w ork in high sch o ol followed b y on e or tw o term s in c o lleg e. If a student fulfills the requirem en t with a la n g u a g e w hich h e b eg in s in c o lleg e, h e will n e e d to study it for four terms. If h e fulfills it with a la n g u a g e beg u n els e w h e r e , his p rog ress tow ard the d e g r e e of co m p eten ce d e m a n d e d is m easu red b y a p la cem en t test.

A dditional p la cem en t tests a r e given w hen n ecessa ry b y the Sw arthm ore departm en ts of lan g u a g e. PROGRAM FOR JUNIORS AND SENIORS WORK IN COURSES The work of the last four terms in courses must include a major and one minor, both in the same division, and electives. At the end of the sophomore year, a student's choice of his major and minor subjects must be approved by the depart­ ments concerned. Each student in courses offers for graduation at least four full courses or their equivalent in his major subject and at least three full courses or their equivalent in his m in o r subject. 28 The completion of sixteen full courses, with a minimum aver­ age of C (see p. 44), normally constitutes the course require­ ment for a degree. A student may carry extra work with the approval of his course adviser and of the Committee on Pre­ scribed and Extra Work, provided that his record in the previ­ ous term has been satisfactory. In addition to completing his courses, the student at the end of his senior year must pass a comprehensive examination in his major subject, set by the faculty of the major department. HONORS WORK D e sc r ip t io n o f t h e S y s t e m Honors work is a system of instruction designed to free from the limitations of class-room routine those students whose ma­ turity and capacity enable them to do independent work. Stu­ dents who are chosen toward the end of their sophomore year to read for honors are exempt from further course require­ ments. Instead, during their junior and senior years they study a few subjects intensively and independently. They meet their instructors weekly in small seminars lasting about three hours. In these meetings it is customary for students to present fre­ quent papers, although the methods of stimulating discussion vary greatly. In scientific subjects additional time is spent in the laboratory. The work is so planned that a student takes two seminars each semester, making a total of eight seminars during his last two years. Departments sometimes permit their major students to prepare a thesis instead of one seminar. Honors work involves a concentration of the student's efforts upon a limited and integrated field of studies. He chooses semi­ nars in three (or sometimes four) allied subjects, and, customonly devotes at least one-half of his time to a single depart­ ment in the line of his major interest, in which he is expected to demonstrate real achievement. Combinations of seminars are not governed by rigid rules but must be approved by the de­ partments and divisions in which work is taken. Combinations involving seminars from two divisions must be approved by the Committee on Extra and Prescribed Work. No examinations br grades are given from semester to semester.* At the end of the ,. *n is cus,omarr for honor« students to take practice examinations at the end of me Junior year over the work covered thus far. These papers are read by the instructor concerned and are used as a basis for advice and guidance for the work ot the senior year. 29 senior year honors students take written and oral examina­ tions given by examiners from other institutions, f The student should attain a degree of proficiency which will enable him to meet a rigorous and searching examination. This examination is designed to test his competence in a field of knowledge rather than his mastery of those facts which an instructor has seen fit to present in seminar. This is one of the chief ends for which the system of visiting examiners has been instituted. The examiners first set a three-hour written exami­ nation on the subject of each seminar, and after reading the written examination have an opportunity to question each student orally, in order to clarify and enlarge the basis of their judgment of the student's command of his material. Upon recommendation of the examiners, successful candi­ dates are awarded the bachelor's degree with honors, with high honors, or with highest honors. Highest honors are award­ ed only to those who show unusual distinction. When the work of a candidate does not, in the opinion of the examiners, merit honors of any grade, his papers are returned to his instructors, who decide, under rules of the faculty, whether he shall be given a degree in course. Students admitted to honors work who prove unable to meet the requirements or who for other reasons return to regular classes may receive proportional course credit for the work they have done while reading for honors. Regulations governing possible combinations of major and minor subjects in the four divisions appear below. Lists of seminars offered in preparation for examinations follow de­ partmental statements. R eg ulation s C om binations of M ajors a n d Minors DIVISION O F T H E H U M A N ITIES Major subjects include English, French, German, Greek, History, Latin, Philosophy and Psychology; related minor sub­ jects include those already listed. Music and Fine Arts. At least half of the student's time will probably be devoted to his major subject, the remainder being divided between two related sub­ jects within the division. •fFor list of examiners in February and May, 1943, see pp. 17, 18. 30 DIVISION O F T H E SOCIAL SC IEN C ES Major and minor subjects include Economics, History, Phil­ osophy, Psychology, and Political Science. Students in this division normally devote half their time to their major subject, dividing the remainder among related minor subjects accord­ ing to plans approved by the division. DIVISION O F M A TH EM A TIC S AND T H E NATURAL SCIEN CES Major subjects include Botany, Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics, Psychology, Zoology; related minor subjects include the subjects listed, and Astronomy and Philosophy. At least half of the student's time will probably be devoted to his major subject, with the remainder divided between two other related subjects within the division. DIVISION O F EN GINEERING Major subjects for honors work in this division include Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineer­ ing; a minor may be taken in either or both of the engineering departments in which the student does not have his major, or in Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics or Economics. At least onehalf of the student's time will be devoted to his major in engi­ neering. The degree granted is. the B.S. in Engineering. The final examination will include papers on the fundamen­ tals of the three professional departments of engineering, four papers on the seminars of the senior year, and one or two addi­ tional papers based upon the course which the student has taken, the number of the papers and their subjects to be deter­ mined by the faculty of the division. Procedure for Admission A candidate for admission to an honors division must file his application near the end of his sophomore year with the chair­ man of his division, and must indicate the particular combina­ tion of related subjects on which he wishes to be examined for his degree. His acceptance by the division depends in part upon the quality of his previous work as indicated by the grades he has received but mainly upon his apparent capacity for assuming the responsibility of honors work. The names of successful candidates are announced later in the spring. The major department will then arrange, in consultation with the student, a definite program of subjects to constitute the field 31 of knowledge on which he will be examined at the end of his senior year. That department is responsible for drawing up the original plan of his work, for supervising his choice of seminars in all departments and for keeping in touch with his progress from semester to semester. The division is responsible for ap­ proval of the student's original program and for any subse­ quent changes in that program. Proposals for combinations of subjects or departments not provided for in the divisional ar­ rangements must be submitted by the division to the Com­ mittee on Extra and Prescribed Work for final approval. CIVILIAN FOREIGN SERVICE MAJOR An interdepartmental major designed to meet the needs of those who hope to engage in relief and reconstruction work in Europe, after the war, is now being offered. The require­ ments of this program include the attainment of proficiency in French or German; courses in economic geography, history, and political science, bearing upon the European scene, and certain courses and special lectures directly in the field of relief administration. Details may be obtained from the Deans' Office or from the chairman of the Department of Political Science. 32 DEGREES BACHELOR OF ARTS AND BACHELOR O F SCIENCE The degrees of Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science are conferred upon students who have met the requirements for graduation as stated on pages 27, 28 and following. Students who are drafted after the completion of the seventh semester and who are in good standing when drafted shall be awarded the Bachelor's degree honoris cau sa. MASTER OF ARTS AND MASTER OF SCIENCE The degrees of Master of Arts and Master of Science may be conferred upon graduates of Swarthmore College or of other institutions of satisfactory standing who spend at least a year in residence at this college, pursuing a course of study approved by the faculty. Each candidate for the Master's de­ gree must prepare a satisfactory thesis on a subject assigned by the professor in charge of the major subject, and must pass a final oral examination before a committee of the faculty. In recent years the policy of the faculty has been opposed to ac­ cepting candidates for the Master's degree. ADVANCED ENGINEERING DEGREES The advanced degrees of M echanical Engineer (M.E.), Electrical Engineer (E.E.), and Civil Engineer (C.E.), may be obtained by graduates who have received their Bachelor s de­ gree in Engineering upon the fulfilling of the requirements given below: L The candidate must have been engaged in engineering work for five years since receiving his first degree. 2. He must have had charge of engineering work and must be in a position of responsibility and trust at the time of ap­ plication. 3. He must make application and submit an outline of the thesis he expects to present, one full year before the advanced degree is to be conferred. 4. The thesis must be submitted for approval one calendar month before the time of granting the degree. 5. Every candidate shall pay a registration fee of $5 and an additional fee of $20 when the degree is conferred. 33 ADM ISSIONS PROCEDURE Applications for admission should be addressed to the Deans of the college; from men applicants, to Dean Everett L. Hunt; from women, to Dean Frances Blanshard. GENERAL STATEMENT An applicant for admission will be judged on the basis oi the following evidence: 1. Record in secondary school. 2. Recommendation of the school principal or headmaster. 3. Rating in the Scholastic Aptitude Test, and in his choice of three of the Scholastic Achievement Tests given by the College Entrance Examination Board. 4. Personal interview with one of the Deans or an appointed representative (interviews are normally arranged only for applicants of promise). As the number of qualified applicants greatly exceeds the limits of the freshman class, admission is on a competitive basis. In the selection of students, strong intellectual interests and excellence in some particular direction will receive more consideration than a record which shows a higher average without promise of unusual ability in any one field. Children of Friends and Alumni of the college who rank high in their graduating class will be assured of admission; those who do not rank high will be considered under the terms of the selec­ tive process described above. In general candidates are admitted on the basis of (1) high rank in school and in the Scholastic Aptitude and Achievement Tests; (2) evidence of sturdiness of character. ADVANCED STANDING For favorable consideration, applicants for advanced stand­ ing must have had a high scholastic record in the institution from which they wish to transfer, and must present full creden­ tials for both college and preparatory work and a letter of hon­ orable dismissal. As a general rule, students are not admitted to advanced standing later than the beginning of the sopho­ more year. The minimum requirement of residence is four terms, one of which must be the two which constitute the senior year. 34 SUBJECTS OF PREPARATORY STUDY In preparation for college an applicant is expected to com­ plete a four-year secondary school course which includes work in English, foreign language, mathematics, history, and usually a laboratory science. The table below shows the possible dis­ tribution of work among these subjects. A "unit" represents a course involving four or five periods a week throughout one school year except in the case of English where three units are assigned for four such courses.* R equired Subjects, Ten an d One-Halt Units Elementary and Intermediate Algebra ..................

Engineering students need offer only two units. Applicants who expect to concentrate in science are strongly advised to include German, and if possible also French, in their school program. This will permit a more flexible program in college. •••Required of engineering students. 35 EXAMINATIONS FOR ADMISSION AND FOR SCHOLARSHIPS All applicants for admission are required to take certain examinations given by the College Entrance Examination Board: the Scholastic Aptitude Test and three Achievement Tests, one of which must be in English Composition, the other two to be chosen by the candidate. No additional tests are re­ quired of candidates for scholarships. For information please write to the College Entrance Examination Board, Box 592, Princeton, N. J. A NEW TIME TABLE Now that many freshmen enter college in July, they would like to know whether they have been accepted earlier than May 1, which has been the usual date for action by the Admis­ sions Committee. It has seemed advisable, therefore, to intro­ duce some changes in our schedule. Applicants for admission on March 6, July 3, or November 6, 1944, should file their applications by November 1, 1943, and should preferably take the required tests given by the College Board on D ecem ber 4, 1943. Under special circumstances, they may arrange to postpone the tests until one of the following dates: April 15, June 3, September 6, 1944. Applicants for the White Open Scholarships for Women are req u ired to take these tests in December. Candidates who post­ pone the tests will be eligible for smaller awards. Men's Open Scholarships are awarded in May and candidates must have taken the Aptitude and Achievement Tests in December or April. Notices of the action of the Admission Committee will be mailed approximately as follows: January 20, for admission on March 6; March 1, for admission on July 3 and November 6 of those who took their tests in December; May 20, for admission on July 3 and November 6 of those who took their tests in April. 36 EXPEN SES The charge for tuition is $200 a term, payable in advance. The charge for residence is $250 a term, payable at the begin­ ning of each term. There is a uniform laboratory and activities fee of $25 per term, which covers both academic and extra-cur­ ricular College activities and supersedes all separate fees for­ merly charged. A deposit of $25 is required of each student, payable in advance, to cover incidental bills. Any unused bal­ ance is returned. Charges per term: Tuition ................................................................................$200 Residence .................................................. 250 Deposit for incidental b i l l s ........................................... 25 Fees . . . . . . . ' .................................................................... 25 Total charges ..................................................................$500 The payment of each term's charges is due not later than Registration Day at the beginning of the term. Bills are mailed before the opening of the current term. Payments should be made by check or draft to the order of S w a r t h m o r e C o l l e g e . In case a student's bill is not paid by the end of the first month, he may be excluded from all College exercises. Correspond­ ence about financial matters should be addressed to the Comp­ troller, Mr. Nicholas O. Pittenger. No reduction or refunding of the tuition charge can be made on account of absence, illness or dismissal during the year. If a student shall withdraw or be absent from College for any reason, there will be no reduction or refund because of failure to occupy the room assigned for that term. In case of illness or absence for other reasons from the College for six weeks or more, there will be a proportionate reduction for board, pro­ vided that notice be given to the Comptroller at the time of withdrawal. Fees cannot be refunded for any reason whatever. Students may charge incidental bills, including purchases at the College bookstore, laundry, telephone and room breakage, against the $25 deposit. When this deposit has been exhausted a new deposit will be required immediately. 37 EDUCATIONAL RESO URCES The S w a r t h m o r e C o lleg e L ib r a r y , in part the gift of Andrew Carnegie, contains reading rooms, offices, and a collection of 135,000 volumes. Some 5,000 volumes are added annually. About 600 periodicals are received regularly. The general col­ lection, including all but the scientific and technical books and journals, is housed in the library building, situated on the front campus. An addition providing storeroom for 150,000 vol­ umes was erected in 1935. Important special units of the main library are the Appleton collection of classics and English lit­ erature and the Potter collection of legal material. The library is definitely a collection of books and journals for undergrad­ uate use. The demands of honors work, however, make neces­ sary the provision of large quantities of source material not usually found in collections maintained for undergraduates. It is a point of library policy to try to supply, either by purchase or through inter-library loan, the books needed by students or members of the faculty for their individual research. The F r ie n d s H isto r ic a l L ib r a r y , founded in 1870 by Anson Lapham, is one of the outstanding collections in the United States of manuscripts, books, pamphlets, and pictures relating to the history of the Society of Friends. The library is the cen­ tral depository for the records of Friends' meetings belonging to Philadelphia Yearly Meeting (Hicksite), and contains ap­ proximately 900 record books, many of which have been repro­ duced on microfilm. A microfilm reading machine is avail­ able. Among the other manuscript holdings are the Charles F. Jenkins Autograph Collection, including signatures of authors, reformers, and members of the Continental Congress; the Charles F. Jenkins Whittier Collection, consisting of first editions and manuscripts of John Greenleaf Whittier; and journals, let­ ters, and miscellaneous papers of many Friends. The library's collection of printed materials by and about Friends includes a large number of seventeenth-century imprints as well as many books, pamphlets, and periodicals of later date. There is also an extensive collection of photographs of meeting houses and pictures of representative Friends including the original of Sir Peter Lely's portrait of George Fox. Also housed in the Friends Historical Library is the Jane Addams Peace Collection built around a nucleus of books and personal papers given in 1930 38 by Jane Addams; it contains a large amount of material deal­ ing with international peace and has become a repository for the files of many peace organizations. All the collections are housed in the Biddle Memorial Library, a fireproof structure of stone and steel, given by Clement M. Biddle in memory of his father. It is hoped that Friends and others will consider the ad­ vantages of depositing in this library for preservation and for the use of scholars, books and family papers which may throw light on the history of the Society of Friends. The W il l ia m J. C ooper F oundation provides a varied pro­ gram of lectures and concerts which enriches the academic work of the college. The Foundation was established by Wil­ liam J. Cooper, a devoted friend of the college, whose wife, Emma Mcllvain Cooper, served as a member of the Board of Managers from 1882 to 1923. Mr. Cooper bequeathed to the college the sum of $100,000 and provided that the income should be used “in bringing to the college from time to time eminent citizens of this and other countries who are leaders in statesmanship, education, the arts, sciences, learned profes­ sions and business, in order that the faculty, students and the college community may be broadened by a closer acquaint­ ance with matters of world interest." Admission to all pro­ grams is without charge. The Cooper Foundation Committee works with the depart­ ments and with student organizations in arranging single lec­ tures and concerts, and also in bringing to the college speakers of note who remain in residence for a long enough period to enter into the life of the community. Some of these speakers have been invited with the understanding that their lectures should be published under the auspices of the Foundation. This arrangement has so far produced 7 volumes: Lindsay, Alexander Dunlop. The Essentials of D em ocracy. Philadelphia, University of Pennsylvania Press, 1929. Lowes, John Livingston.

University of Pennsylvania Press. The B e n ja m in W e s t S o c ie t y , an organization of alumni, members of the faculty, and friends of the college, has built up a collection of 286 paintings, drawings, and etchings, which are exhibited as space permits in various college buildings. The Society owes its name to the American artist of the eighteenth century who was born in a house which still stands on the Swarthmore Campus, and who becam e President of the Royal Academy. The G eorge G r e y B arnard collection, the gift of the artist, contains 200 casts of his works, many of great size. It is not open to visitors, since the building in which it is temporarily stored for safe keeping is not suitable for exhibitions. The B ron son M. C u ttin g M em o ria l C o llec tio n o f R ecorded M u sic was established at Swarthmore College in 1936 by a gift of approximately four thousand phonograph records, a radiophonograph, books and musical scores, from the family 0f Bronson Murray Cutting, late Senator from New Mexico. Its object is to make the best recorded music available to the undergraduates, faculty, and friends of Swarthmore College, in cooperation with the work of the college Department of Music. The A r t h u r H o yt S c ott H o rticu ltu ra l F oundation . T w o hun­ dred and thirty-seven acres are contained in the College prop­ erty, including a large tract of woodland and the valley of Crum Creek. Much of this tract has been developed as an Arboretum through the provisions of the Arthur Hoyt Scott Horticultural Foundation, established in 1929 by Mrs. Arthur Hoyt Scott and Owen and Margaret Moon as a memorial to Arthur Hoyt Scott of the Class of 1895. The Arboretum is de­ signed both to beautify the campus and to afford examples of the better kinds of trees, shrubs and herbaceous plants which are hardy in .the climate of Eastern Pennsylvania and suitable for planting by the average gardener. There are exceptionally fine displays of Japanese cherries and tree peonies, and a great variety of lilacs and chrysanthemums. Many donors have con­ tributed generously to the collections. (For full information see Bulletin of S w arthm ore C olleg e, Vol. xxxvii. No. 5.) 40 COLLEGE LIFE RELIGIOUS LIFE The religious life of the college is founded on the Quaker principle that the seat of spiritual authority lies in the Inner Light of each individual. It is committed to the belief that re­ ligion is best expressed in the quality of every-day living. There are accordingly no compulsory religious services. Stu­ dents are encouraged to attend the churches of their choice: Episcopal, Presbyterian, Methodist, and Christian Science, in the borough of Swarthmore; Catholic, in the nearby towns of Morton, Media, and Chester. The Swarthmore Meeting House is located on the campus. Students are cordially invited to attend its active religious service on Sunday. Extra-curricular groups under faculty direction exist for the study of the Bible and the exploration of common concerns in religion. There is an assembly of the college, called Collection, from 11.00 until 11.30 a.m. every Thursday in Clothier Memorial; attendance of students is required. The program is opened by a period of silence according to the Friendly tradition, followed by an address or music. HOUSING Swarthmore is primarily a residential college, conducted on the assumption that an important element in education comes from close association of students and instructors. Most stu­ dents live in dormitories. Many members of the faculty live in houses on the campus. Dormitories There are six dormitories for men: Wharton Hall, named in honor of its donor, Joseph Wharton, at one time President of the Board of Managers; Thomas House on Harvard Avenue; Palmer, Pittenger and Roberts Halls on South Chester Road. Wharton Hall is now occupied by the Naval Unit. The women's dormitories include the upper floors in the wings of Parrish Hall; Worth Hall, the gift of William P. Worth, 1876, and J. Sharpless Worth, ex-1873, as memorial to their parents; Woolman House and Bassett Dormitory on Walnut Lane. Dining Room s All students, both men and women, have their meals in two adjoining College Dining Rooms in Parrish Hall. 41 ST U D E N T W E L F A R E H ealth There are two part-time college physicians, one for civilian men and one for women, each of whom holds daily office hours at the college. Students may consult them during office hours without charge. A student must report any illness to the college physicians, but is free to go for treatment to another doctor if he prefers to do so. The college physicians give physical examinations to all students at the beginning of their freshman year, and arrange to see every student at least once in each subsequent year. The college health program includes tuberculin tests, which are compulsory for all students. There are three infirmaries, one for the Naval Unit, one for civilian men and one for women. The "sick b ay " for the Naval Unit is in Section F of Wharton Hall; the infirmary for civilian men, in Roberts Hall. The women's infirmary is at the east end of Parrish Hall. A registered nurse is in charge of each, under the direction of the college physicians. The infirmaries are open to resident students without charge unless the services of a special nurse are required. Students suffering from a communicable disease or from illness which makes it necessary for them to remain in bed must stay in the infirmaries for the period of their illness. The psychiatrists of the Institute of the Pennsylvania Hospital are consulted when need arises. Student A dvisers The deans and their assistants and members of the faculty serve as student advisers. They rely also on the help of upper class men and women in work with freshmen. Members of the Senior Honorary Societies of Book and Key and of Mortar Board carry special responsibility for the Freshman Placement Program. V ocational A dvice The Alumni Secretary and the Women's Vocational Director provide information on vocations and arrange conferences to assist students in their choice of a career; they also attempt to help undergraduates and graduates find employment. 42 TH E ST U D E N T C O M M U N IT Y Student Council The whole undergraduate community of men and women is represented by the Student Council which attempts to co­ ordinate all student activities, and confers with the Adminis­ trative Council of the faculty on college problems. M en s E xecutive C om m ittee The men students of the college are represented by the M ens E xecutive C om m ittee, a group elected to take responsi­ bility for specified problems which have to do primarily with dormitory life. Women's Student G overnm ent A ssociation All women students are members of the W om en's Student Governm ent A ssociation, headed by an Executive Committee elected to promote a great variety of women's interests. This committee includes the chairmen of certain important commit­ tees: Conduct, which maintains social regulations; Personnel, which has a special concern for helping freshmen; S ocial (see below); V ocational, which assists the women's Vocational Di­ rector; Student-A lum nae R elationships, which arranges the pro­ gram for Somerville Day, on which alumnae are invited to re­ turn to the College; Som erville Lectures, which brings to the college popular speakers on subjects related to the arts. Social C om m ittee An extensive program of social activities is managed by the Social C om m ittee, under the direction of two elected co-chair­ men, a man and a woman. The program is designed to appeal to a wide variety of interests, and is open to all students. Som erville Forum All women undergraduates and graduates are members of the Somerville Forum, an outgrowth of the Somerville Literary Society, which was established in 1871. The undergraduates hold open meetings devoted to music, art and literature; the alumnae maintain two fellowships for women for graduate work, the Lucretia Mott Fellowship and the Martha E. Tyson Fellowship. The final meeting in April, known as Somerville Day, is a gathering of alumnae and undergraduates. 43 FACULTY REGULATIONS A tten dan ce at C lasses a n d C ollection Members of the faculty will hold students responsible for regular attendance at classes. W hen illn ess n ecessitates a b s e n c e from cla sses the student shou ld report a t o n ce to the nurses or to the c o lle g e physicians. The last meeting before vacation and the first meeting after vacation in e a c h cou rse must be attended. The minimum penalty for violation of this rule is probation. The exact defini­ tion of probation in individual cases is left to the deans with the understanding that it shall include attendance at all classes without cuts. Absences from Collection are acted upon by the deans as instructed by the Collection Committee of the faculty. All stu­ dents are allowed two absences from Collection each term. G rad es Instructors report to the dean's office at intervals during the year upon the work of students in courses. Informal reports during the semester take the form of comments on unsatisfac­ tory work. At the end of each semester formal grades are given in each course under the letter system, by which A means ex­ cellent work; B means good work; C means fair work; D means poor work, and E shows failure. W signifies withdrawn and Cond. signifies conditioned in the course. Reports are sent to parents and to students at the end of each semester. For graduation in general courses, a C average is required; for graduation in honors work, the recommendation of the visiting examiners. (See pp. 17, 18.) The mark "conditioned" indicates either (1) that a student has done unsatisfactory work in the first half of a course, but by creditable work during the second half may earn a passing grade for the full course, and thereby remove his condition; (2) that a student's work is incomplete in respect to specific assignments or examinations; when he completes it, he will remove his condition. Conditions of both types must normally be made up in the term immediately following that in which they were in­ curred; for the removal of conditions of type (2), a date is set 44 at the end of the first six weeks of each term when make­ up examinations must be scheduled and late papers submitted. Under special circumstances involving a use of laboratories or attendance at courses not immediately available, a student may secure permission to extend the time for making up a con­ dition until the second term following. Any condition not made up within a year from the time it is imposed shall thereafter be recorded as E, i.e., co m p lete failure, which cannot be made up. Examinations Any student who is absent from an examination, announce­ ment of which was made in advance, shall be given an exami­ nation at another hour only by special arrangement with the instructor in charge of the course. No examination in a b sen tia shall be permitted. This rule shall be interpreted to mean that instructors shall give exami­ nations only at the college and under direct departmental supervision. Summer School W ork Students desiring to transfer credit from a summer school are required to obtain the endorsement of the chairman of the de­ partment concerned before entering upon the work, and after completing the work are required to pass an examination set by the Swarthmore department. R esiden ce All men students except freshmen choose their rooms in order determined by lot. All freshmen, both men and women, are assigned to rooms by the deans. Upper class women have a preferential system carried out by a committee of students and members of the administrative staff. Since vacations under the accelerated program are too short to permit extensive travel, students may occupy their rooms between terms by special arrangement with the deans. The college dining room is closed during all vacations. Freshm en a r e a s k e d to le a v e the c o lle g e im m ediately after their last exam ination at the en d of a n y term w hen they a re going h o m e so that their room s m ay b e u sed b y C om m en ce­ ment visitors. 45 Prohibition of A u tom obiles at S w arthm ore By action of the faculty, approved by the Board of Managers, undergraduates are forbidden to maintain automobiles at the college or in the Borough of Swarthmore. The regulation is as follows: Resident students are not allowed to keep automobiles on the campus or in the Borough of Swarthmore. The rule pro­ hibits equally the keeping of automobiles owned by students and those owned by other persons but placed in the custody or control of students. Day students may use cars in commuting to college. Under exceptional circumstances, a student may obtain per­ mission from one of the deans to keep an automobile in the Borough for a limited time. P arents a n d students must rea liz e that this regu lation will b e strictly en fo rced ; students w ho d o not o b serv e it will b e a s k e d to w ithdraw from co lleg e. Exclusion from C o lleg e The college reserves the right to exclude at any time stu­ dents whose conduct or academic standing it regards as unde­ sirable, and without assigning any further reason therefor; in such cases fees will not be refunded or remitted, in whole or in part, and neither the college nor any of its officers shall be under any liability whatsoever for such exclusion. 46 CO U RSES O F INSTRUCTION Departmental statements include courses which are required by the Navy V-12 program. These courses are designated by the numbers used in the Curricula Schedules issued by the Navy. Such numbers (Bl, C2, etc.), appear in parentheses, and follow the usual Swarthmore Catalogue numbers in the case of courses open to both civilian and naval students. 47 ‘ BOTANY A ssistant P rofessors : Luzern G.

There are three engineering departments in the Division of Engineering: Civil, Electrical and Mechanical. The curricula of the Division of Engineering are in a transition period from the regular program to the V-12 Navy College Training Program. The regular program, which is in the process of being replaced, has been listed and will be referred to as the Regular Swarthmore Curriculum in Engineering; the Navy program will be listed and referred to as the Navy V-12 Curricula. The Regular Swarthmore Curriculum will be gradually replaced by the Navy V-12 Curricula during the next four or five terms. A student will, with some exceptions, follow either the Navy V-12 program, or the regular Swarthmore program. All stu­ dents entering as freshmen on or after July 1, 1943, will follow the Navy V-12 program. All other students will be those with advanced stan cling, either as Swarthmore College students or as transfers to Swarthmore. The program to be followed by an advanced student will be determined as follows. If the ad­ vanced standing corresponds to that part of the Navy V-12 program then being offered, such a student will follow the V-12 program. If the advanced standing is beyond that part of the V-12 program then being offered, such a student will follow the regular Swarthmore program. Both curricula are listed in this catalog, but not all parts of both curricula will be offered concurrently. With certain exceptions, course descriptions are given in this catalogue for only the first two college years of the •Under the accelerated program, not all courses will be offered every term. ••Absent on leave. *•‘ Absent on part-time leave. 59 V-12 program. Later catalogues will expand these course de­ scriptions to cover all four college years. Civilian students desiring to major in civil engineering will follow either the regular program in civil engineering or the curriculum prescribed for Construction Corps Candidates. Civilian students desiring to major in either electrical or mechanical engineering will follow either the regular program in electrical or mechanical engineering or the curriculum pre­ scribed for Engineer Specialist Candidates. The program to be followed depends upon the student's entrance date and ad­ vanced standing. Consultation with the Chairman of the Engi­ neering Division is advised to determine the suitable program. 60 NAVY V-12 CURRICULA 1 FIRST COLLEGE YEAR CURRICULUM I (First term now in effect; second term in effect November 1, 1943) Periods per week2 1 st term 2 nd term Mathematical Analysis I or III, II or IV (Ml or 3, 53 (5) 2 or 4) ............................................................................. 5s (5) English I-II (El-2) ....................................................... 3 (3) 3 (3) ‘ ‘ Historical Background of Present World War, (2 ) I-II (HI-2) .................................... .............................. 2 2 (2 ) 4 (6 ) Physics I, II (PHI, 2) .................................................. 4 (6 ) Engineering Drawing and Descriptive Geometry 2 (6 ) (6 ) (Dl, 2) ....................................................... .............. 2 1 (1 ) ‘ Naval Organization I, II (Nl, 2) ............................ 1 (1) 17 Physical Training (PT 1-2-3-4-5) .............................. 18 (23) (9Va) 35 (32Va) 17 17 (23) ( 8 Va) 34 (31 Va) SECOND COLLEGE YEAR CURRICULUM II Construction Corps Candidates 'Calculus I, II (M5, 6 ) ...................................................

Students who ex­ pect to major in history, either in honors seminars or in regular courses, should elect English history and a half course in American history before the junior year. Students who expect to include history as a minor should elect either English his­ tory or American history before the junior year. Course 3 or 4 is -.’equired for admission to honors seminars in American histoy, unless permission is obtained in advance. The following seminars are offered by the department each year to prepare for examinations for a degree with Honors. Although an endeavor will be made to offer in any term any seminar desired by a sufficient number of students, this will occasionally prove impossible and the department cannot guarantee in advance the terms in which some seminars will be given.

ANCIENT HISTORY Honors seminars in Greek and Roman history, conducted by the department of classics, are open to students who major in history. Requirements for a major in ancient history are two seminars in the ancient field and two seminars in mediaeval or modern history. See the statement of the department of classics. HISTORY THESIS For students with the major subject in history. The topic should b e selected and approved by the end of the junior year. The thesis should be based upon original source materials. REQUIREMENTS FOR WORK IN COURSE Students in the humanities or social sciences should com­ plete a full course in history by electing course 3, 4, 8, or 10 in addition to course 1. Requirements for students who elect major or minor work in history do not turn on any particular total of courses, but rather the completion of such courses in history, together with related courses in the social sciences or the humanities as, in the opinion of the department, will facilitate a well-rounded preparation for their comprehensive examina­ tions. A reading knowledge of French or German and some acquaintance with the principles of economics and political theory are essential for an intelligent appreciation of history. Most graduate schools require a reading knowledge of French, German, and Latin for any advanced degree in history. The comprehensive examinations for major students at the end of the senior year are not necessarily based on particular courses taken at Swarthmore. They include questions on (1) European history; (2) English history; (3) American history; (4) Ancient history. Major students are expected to answer general questions in each of these fields, the standard being based on the work of any survey course offered in the college or independent reading in books recommended by the depart­ ment. In at least two of the fields students should be able to answer more specific questions, based either on special courses taken in the college or on special reading undertaken with the department's approval. Course 13, Special Topics, is de­ signed to help major students in their final preparation for these examinations. All major students should elect this course. 86 •MATHEMATICS AND ASTRONOMY P rofessors: Arnold Dresden, Chairman. Ross W. Marriott. P eter van de Kamp Director of Sproul O bservatory.

Those who intend to pursue astronomy as a major subject in course should have in addition courses 1, 2 in that subject during the freshman or sophomore year; advanced courses selected from the list given above combined with work in mathematics constitute the fur­ ther requirement. For students who select mathematics or astronomy as their minor, the minimum of three courses should be selected from the following: Mathematics 1, 2; 11, 12; 14, 15; 16, 17; Astron­ omy 1, 2, 3. Completion of course 12 is the minimum require­ ment. 91 Prerequisites for admission to honors seminars in mathe­ matics either as a major or as a minor are the completion of courses 1, 2; 11, 12; the completion of the course in General Physics; a thorough reading knowledge of French or German. For honors work in Astronomy, completion of courses 1, 2 in that subject is necessary in addition to the requirements indi­ cated above. Libraries and O bservatory The astronomical part of the departmental library is located on the first floor of the Observatory; the mathematical section on the fifth floor of Parrish Hall. The library contains complete sets of nearly all the American mathematical and astronomical periodicals, and sets (some of which are complete, some of which are not) of the leading English, German and French periodicals. This library receives the publications of many of the leading observatories in exchange for the publications of the Sproul Observatory. The principal instrument of the Sproul Observatory is the twenty-four-inch visual refractor of thirty-six-foot focal length, used almost exclusively for photography. The instrument has been in continuous operation since 1912 and provides a valu­ able and steadily expanding collection of photographs. A num­ ber of measuring and calculating machines are available for the measurement and reduction of the photographs. The prin­ cipal program of the Observatory is an accurate study o f the distances, motions and masses of the nearer stellar systems. Results of departmental studies are published in the Sproul Ob­ servatory publications and in various scientific journals. Advanced study in conjunction with the research program of the Observatory may be arranged in consultation with the directory of the Sproul Observatory. The Students' Astronomical Observatory contains a six-inch visual refractor, a nine-inch photographic telescope, and a transit instrument. The Sproul 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. Visitors thus have an op­ portunity of seeing, in the course of a year, many celestial ob­ jects of various types. 92 MUSIC A ssociate P rofessor : A lfred J. S wan , Chairman. la, b, c.

The minimum college requirement is one hour of Physical Education work on each of five days per week. The first aim of the department is to make sure that each student develops habits which make for a sound body. Our col­ lege physicians are available daily for consultation and we urge periodic physical checkups. Second, through a series of physical fitness classes we aim to develop each man muscularly and to improve general qualities of endurance. Third, having attained a n acceptable degree of physical de­ velopment, the student is invited to join in a vigorous games program. In addition to our intramural contests, we have wide participation in regular intercollegiate athletics. *Cross-Country Swimming Badminton ’ Basketball Boxing ’ Fencing Handball ’ Football ’ Soccer ' FALL ACTIVITIES Tennis Touch Football WINTER ACTIVITIES Lacrosse Life Saving Paddle Tennis Soccer ’ Sw im m ing SPRING ACTIVITIES ’ Tennis ’ Track ’ Baseball ’ Golf ’ Lacrosse Softball ’ Baseball ’ Tennis SUMMER ACTIVITIES ’ Golf ’ Track ’ Swimming Softball Speed Ball Physical Fitness Class Tennis Track Volley Ball ’ Wrestling Physical Fitness Class Physical Fitness Class Riding Physical Fitness Class ‘ Intercollegiate varsity and sub-varsity schedules are played in these sports. 97 P H Y S IC A L E D U C A T IO N F O R W O M E N A ssociate P ro fesso r : V irginia R ath , Chairman.

REQUIREMENTS A wide experience in recreational, rhythmic and develop­ mental activities is an important factor in human well-being and happiness. Therefore this department aims: to provide opportunities for organic development, for instruction and participation in sports and dancing; to encourage apprecia­ tion of rhythm and design, of sportsmanship, of good coordi­ nation and poise, and of outdoor activity; and finally to lay the foundations of a program that can be continued after graduation. Classes are kept small to insure individual attention, and students are grouped according to ability. Ample opportuni­ ties are given for intramural and intercollegiate competition, as well as for public performances and demonstrations. Freshmen, sophomores and juniors take three periods of activity each week. These may be elected from the list below, with the exception that freshmen are required to take one period of swimming in the fall and body mechanics in the win­ ter. Seniors may take two hours of any activity each week with­ out signing up for instruction classes. All seniors are required to pass a safety test in swimming before graduation. Regulation costumes should be ordered before college opens. Blanks for this purpose will be sent out from the Office of the Dean to all incoming students. SPORTS 1. Hockey. Miss Parry, Miss Rath.

Three fellowships are awarded annually by the faculty, on recommendation of the Committee on Fellowships, to graduates of the college for the pursuit of advanced work under the direction of the faculty or with their approval. Applications for these fellowships for 1944-45 must be received by the committee before March 1, 1944. These fellowships are: The Hannah A. L eedom F ellowship of $500, founded by the bequest of Hannah A. Leedom. The J oshua Lippincott F ellowship of $600, founded by How­ ard W. Lippincott, of the Class of 1875, in memory of his father. The J ohn Lockwood M emorial F ellowship of $600, founded by the bequest of Lydia A. Lockwood, New York, in memory of her brother, John Lockwood. It was the wish of the donor that the fellowship be awarded to a member of the Society of Friends. The Lucretia M ott F ellowship , founded by the Somerville Literary Society and sustained by the contribution of its life members, has yielded an annual income since its foundation of $525. It is awarded each year by a committee of the faculty (selected by the society), with the concurrence of the life mem­ bers of the society, to a young woman graduate of that year who is to pursue advanced study at some other institution approved by this committee. The Martha E. Tyson F ellowship , founded by the Somerville Literary Society in 1913, is sustained by the contributions of life members of the society and yields an income of $500 or more. It is awarded biennially by a joint committee of the faculty and the society (elected by the society) with the concurrence of the life members of the society to a woman graduate of Swarth­ more College, who has taught successfully for two years after her graduation and expects to continue teaching. The recipient of the award is to pursue a course of study fitting her for more 115 efficient work in an institution approved by the Committee of Award. S igma X i R esearch F ellow ship . The Swarthmore Chapter of Sigma XI appoints, from time to time, as funds are available, Fellows with research grants with a maximum value of $1,000. The holders of this fellowship are usually associates of the chapter who have shown conspicuous ability in graduate stud­ ies. The purpose of the chapter in awarding these fellowships is to relieve worthy students from teaching and other distract­ ing duties so that they may concentrate as much as possible upon their research. Applications for these fellowships should be made to the secretary of the chapter not later than the mid­ dle of March. Appointments will be announced about the mid­ dle of April. SCHOLARSHIPS The A lum n a S cholarship, established by the Philadelphia and New York Alumncs Clubs, is awarded on the same basis as the Open Scholarships. It is awarded for one year and is valued at $500. A lumni S cholarships . Occasional scholarships are pro­ vided for men by Alumni clubs in cooperation with the college, on a regional basis. Applications should be addressed to the Dean of Men. The C hi O mega S cholarship was established by members and friends of the Chi Omega Fraternity. The income provides an award of approximately $225 annually to a member of the freshman class who is in definite need of financial aid. Prefer­ ence is given to daughters or sons of members of the fraternity, but if in any year such a candidate does not apply, the com­ mittee will select a freshman woman to receive the award. Applications should be sent to the Office of the Deans before January 1st of the year in which the award is to be made. A member designated by the Fraternity serves on the Committee of Award. C lass S cholarships . Two scholarships are offered to the highest ranking student in the freshman and in the sophomore classes: the Anson L apham and the S am u el J. Underhill S chol­ arships. Each has the value of $200, if won by a resident stu­ dent; of $100, if won by a day student. 116 The C lass of 1915 S cholarship F ond was established on the occasion of the Twenty-fifth Reunion of the Class and provides an income of approximately $435. This sum is to be awarded either to freshmen or students in college, with preference given to descendants of the members of the Class of 1915.

The G eorge K. and S allie K. J ohnson F und provides $450 a year, to be used, at the discretion of the President of the Col­ lege, in granting financial aid to young women during their senior year, it being the donor's desire that the President must be satisfied that the applicant is fitted to become a desirable teacher. The income of the Kappa A lpha Theta S cholarship F und, given by members and friends of the Kappa Alpha Theta Fra­ ternity at Swarthmore, is awarded annually to a woman stu­ 117 dent. The award amounts to approximately $125 annually. One or more members of the fraternity who are on the Board of Managers serve on the Committee of Award. The Mary T. Longstreth S cholarship was founded by Re­ b ecca C. Longstreth in memory of her Mother and is to be awarded annually “at the discretion of the President of the College to assist a young woman student to pursue her studies in the College." The James E. Miller S cholarship provides an annual income of approximately $340 which may be applied toward the pay­ ment of board and tuition of students of Delaware County (pref­ erence to be given to residents of Nether Providence Town­ ship). The Chester-Cambridge Trust Company acts as Trustee of this fund and selects the holder of the scholarship, in con­ sultation with the Superintendent of Schools of Delaware County and of the City of Chester, and subject to the approval of Swarthmore College. O pen S cholarships for M en . Swarthmore College awards annually five four-year scholarships of $500 a year to men en­ tering the freshman class. These scholarships, based on the general plan of the Rhodes Scholarships, are given to candi­ dates who, in the opinion of the Committee of Award, rank highest in scholarship, character and personality. All candi­ dates are required to take the Scholastic Aptitude and Achieve­ ment Tests given by the College Board. Blanks with further in­ formation may be obtained from the admissions office of the college. O pen S cholarships for W omen . Mr. and Mrs. Daniel S. White, of the Class of 1875, on the occasion of the Fiftieth Re­ union of that class, established three open competitive scholar­ ships for women, in the names of Howard White, Jr., Serena B. White, and W alter W. Green. These scholarships are given to candidates who, in the opinion of the Committee of Award, rank highest in scholarship, character and personality. Each award normally carries an annual stipend of $500 and is ten­ able for four years. All candidates are required to take the Scholastic Aptitude and Achievement Tests given by the Col­ lege Board. Blanks with further information may be obtained from the admissions office of the college. 118 The Harriet W. Paiste F und is limited by the following words from the donor's will: "the interest to be applied annually to the education of female members of our Society of Friends (holding their Yearly Meeting at Fifteenth and Race Streets, Philadelphia) whose limited means would exclude them from enjoying the advantages of an education at the college." The value of this scholarship is approximately $360 annually. The T. H. Dudley P erkins M emorial S cholarship is awarded annually to a young man selected by a committee of the faculty appointed by the President of the college for the purpose. The award will be made on the basis of qualities of manhood, force of character and leadership; literary and scholastic ability; physical vigor as shown by participation in out-of-doors sports or in other ways.

Then, while preference is to be given to members of the Baltimore Yearly Meeting of Friends, it is not to be confined to them when suit­ able persons in membership cannot be found. The value of this scholarship is approximately $472.50 annually. The P h ebe A nna Thorne F und provides an income of approx­ imately $2,250 for scholarships for students needing pecuniary assistance whose previous work has demonstrated their ear­ nestness and their ability. This gift includes a clause of prefer­ ence to those students who are members of the New York Monthly Meeting of Friends. These scholarships are awarded by the college under the regulations fixed by the board. The W estbury Q uarterly M eeting , N. Y., S cholarship, amounting to $350, is awarded annually by a committee of that Quarterly Meeting. The S amuel W illets F und yields an income of approxi­ mately $4,500 annually, "to be applied to educate in part or in whole such poor and deserving children as the Committee on Trusts, Endowments and Scholarships of said college may from time to time judge and determine to be entitled thereto." In addition to the above fund, Samuel Willets gave scholar­ ships in the name of his children, F rederick W illets , E dward 120 Willets , W alter W illets , and C aroline W. F rame . These schol­ arships have the value of $225 each. They are awarded by the respective parties, their heirs or assigns, or in the event that the heirs do not exercise their right, by the college authorities. The I. V. W illiamson S cholarships. Ten scholarships of the value of $150 each for resident students and $75 for day stu­ dents are offered to graduates of designated Friends schools, under the following conditions: Candidates must apply to the Office of the Deans at the college before March first. Candidates must take the scholarship examinations given by the College Entrance Examination Board. The results of these examinations, together with other evidence of achieve­ ment and promise, will determine the award. The scholarships are distributed as follows: two each to graduates of Friends Central and George School, one in the boys' and one in the girls' department; and one each to New York Friends Seminary, Baltimore Friends School, Wilmington Friends School, Moorestown Friends School, Friends Academy at Locust Valley, Sidwells Friends School and Brooklyn Friends School. Any income not utilized in accordance with these conditions is used for free scholarships in accordance with the will of the donor. The Edward C larkson W ilson S cholarship. A scholarship with an annual value of $125 has been established at Swarthmore by friends of Edward Clarkson Wilson, '91, formerly Principal of the Baltimore Friends School. It will be awarded each year to a former student of the Baltimore Friends School, who has been approved by the faculty of the school, on the basis of high character and high standing in scholarship. In any year when there is no outstanding candidate from the stu­ dents of the Baltimore Friends School, the scholarship may be awarded to another young man or woman who shall meet the required standards and who is approved by the school faculty and the college. The Mary W ood F und is limited by the following words from the donor's will: "the income thereof to be, by the proper offi­ cers thereof, applied to the maintenance and education at said college of one female student therein, one preparing for the 121 avocation of a teacher to be preferred as the beneficiary, but in all other respects the application of the income of said fund to be in the absolute discretion of the college." The value of this scholarship is approximately $62.50 annually. Each of the following funds yields annually about $225 and is awarded at the discretion of the college to students needing pecuniary aid: The Barclay G. A tkinson S cholarship F und. The R ebecca M. A tkinson S cholarship F und. The W illiam Dorsey S cholarship F und. The Thomas L. Leedom S cholarship F und. The S arah E. Lippincott S cholarship F und. The Mark E. R eeves S cholarship F und. The J oseph T. S ullivan S cholarship F und. The Deborah F. W harton S cholarship F und. The Thomas W oodnutt S cholarship F und. STUDENT AID From G en eral Funds In addition to the scholarships listed above, two kinds of assistance are provided from general college funds: honorary scholarships and college jobs. Honorary S cholarships a re granted in recognition of good scholastic standing an d financial need. C ollege J obs afford opportunities to earn money by regular work at current wage rates in one of the college offices, shops, laboratories or libraries. A student may hold a "college job" in addition to a scholarship, and commonly receives notice of both types of assignment at the same time. (O utside E mploym ent . Students themselves operate various agencies and services and employ new students each year. Residents of the Borough of Swarthmore often send requests for services to the college which cooperates in making these opportunities known to students. Many students secure profit­ able employment entirely on their own initiative.) From S p ecia l Loan Funds Several loan funds are administered by a committee to which application should be made through the comptroller of the college. T he C lass of 1913 Loan F und was established by the Class of 1913 at their twenty-fifth reunion. Both principal and income 122 are to be used to provide a loan fund for students in the three upper classes. Individual students may borrow up to $200 in any one year, the loans to be repayable within five years with interest at four percent. T h e C l a ss o f 1916 L oan F und was established by the Class of 1916 at their twenty-fifth reunion. The fund is designed to provide loans to senior students, preferably descendants of members of the Class of 1916, or to other students at the dis­ cretion of the administering committee. The loans are repay­ able not later than five years after graduation, with interest at the rate of four percent. T h e C l a ss o f 1917 S tu d en t L oan R evolving F und was estab­ lished by the Class of 1917 at their twenty-fifth reunion. The fund is designed to provide loans for needy students who are accelerating their college work due to the war emergency, and the Class of 1917 has provided that at the conclusion of the present war, this fund shall be utilized in connection with such general purposes as the committee shall deem advisable. The J o h n A. M il l e r L oan F und was established by the Class of 1912 at their twenty-fifth reunion. Both principal and income are to be used to provide a loan fund for students in the three upper classes. Individual students may borrow up to $200 in any one year, such loans to be repayable within five years with interest at four percent. The P aul M. P ea rso n L oan F und was established by a num­ ber of Dr. Pearson's friends as a memorial for perpetuating his life and spirit. Both principal and income may be used for loans to students, repayable not later than five years after gradua­ tion, with interest at the rate of four percent. The S w a r t h m o r e C o lleg e S tu d en t L oan F und was estab­ lished by Mr. Clarence J. Gamble, who, feeling such a fund to be of unusual benefit to worthy students, gave a sum to the college on condition that the board should set aside an equal amount to be added to the fund. Both principal and income may be used for loans to students, repayable not later than five years after graduation, with interest at the rate of four percent. The E l l is D. W il l ia m s F und . By the will of Ellis D. Williams, a legacy of $25,000 was left to the college, the income from which is to be used for loans to students, repayable not later than five years after graduation, with interest at the rate of four percent. 123 SPECIAL AWARDS The I v y M edal F und was created by a gift from Owen Moon, '94. The income oi the fund is used to purchase a medal which is placed in the hands of the faculty for award on Commence­ ment Day to a male member of the graduating class. The regu­ lations governing the award are as follows: (1) The qualifications for the Ivy Medal are similar to those for the Rhodes Scholarships and include (a) qualities of manhood, force of char­ acter, and leadership; (b) literary and scholastic ability and attainments. These have been phrased by the donor in the words "leadership based upon character and scholarship." (2) It is the wish of the donor that the medal should not be awarded on a mere basis of averages. Instead, it is desired that the winner should be a man who gives promise of distinction either in character or in intellectual attainments, as opposed to a man who has merely made the most of mediocre abilities. (3) On the other hand, it is the wish of the donor that the medal should not go to a man who, while showing excellence in some one respect, has fallen seriously below the standard in others. The O a k L e a f M edal was established by David Dwight Row­ lands of the Class of 1909. It was later permanently endowed in memory of him by Hazel C. Rowlands, '07, and Caroline A. Lukens, '98. The medal is placed in the hands of the faculty to be awarded each year to the woman member of the Senior Class who is outstanding for loyalty, scholarship and service. The M c C a be E n g in eerin g A w ard , founded by Thomas B. Mc­ Cabe, 1915, is to be presented each year to the outstanding engineering student in the Senior Class. The recipient is chosen by a committee of the faculty of the Division of Engineering. The C r a n e P r iz e , a memorial to Charles E. Crane, Jr., of the Class of 1936, is an award of about $20, given for the purchase of philosophical books, and presented annually to the junior who, in the opinion of the department, has done the best work in Philosophy. The A. E dward N e w t o n L ib r a r y P r ize , endowed by A. Edward Newton, to make permanent the Library Prize first established by W. W. Thayer, is awarded annually to that undergraduate who, in the opinion of the Committee of Award, shows the best and most intelligently chosen collection of books upon any sub­ ject. Particular emphasis is laid in the award, not merely upon 124 the size of the collection but also upon the skill with which the books are selected and upon the owner's knowledge of their subject-matter. The K a t h e r in e B. S icard P r iz e , endowed by the Delta Gam ma Fraternity in memory of Katharine B. Sicard, ex '34, is awarded annually to the freshman woman who, in the opinion of the department, shows greatest proficiency in English. P u blic S p e a k in g C o n t e s t s . Prizes for annual contests in pub­ lic speaking are provided by two funds as follows: T h e E lla F rances B u n tin g E x t e m p o r a r y S p e a k in g F und awards $45 in six prizes, three for men and three for women, for the best extem­ poraneous short speeches. The O w e n M oore F und provides the Delta Upsilon Speaking Contest prizes totalling $25 for the best prepared speeches on topics of current interest. The G eorge F ox A w ard of $100 is presented annually by an anonymous friend of the College to the undergraduate who writes the best essay on some phase of the history or testi­ monies of the Society of Friends. The E l iz a b e th F r y A w ard of $50, together with an auto­ graphed copy of Janet Payne Whitney's biography of Elizabeth Fry, is presented annually by an anonymous friend of the Col­ lege to the undergraduate who writes the best essay on some aspect of the social attitudes and activities of some Quaker individual or group, preferably of recent times. The J o h n R u s s e l l H a y e s P o e t r y P r iz e s are of a value of approximately $25 for a first prize, and $15 for a second prize, offered for the best original poem or for a translation from any language. Manuscripts should be ready by April 1 of each year. 125 IN D EX Absences from Examination, 45 Accelerated Program, 26 Administrative Officers, 20 A dmissions P rocedure, 34 New Time Table, 36 Scholastic Aptitude and Achievement Tests, 34, 36 Subject Requirements, 35 Advanced Standing, 34 Advisers, 27, 42 Alumnce Scholarship, 116 Alumni Field, 130 Alumni Scholarships, 116 Arthur Hoyt Scott Auditorium, 130 Astronomical Observatories, 92 Astronomy and Mathematics, Courses in, 87 Atkinson Scholarship, Barclay G., 122 Atkinson Scholarship, Rebecca M., 122 Attendance at Classes and Collec­ tion, 44 Automobiles, Regulation Against, 4 6 Awards, 124 Bachelor of Arts Degree, 33 Bachelor of Science Degree, 33 Barnard, George Grey, Collec­ tion, 40 Beardsley Hall, 130 Benjamin West House, 130 Benjamin West Society, 40 Board of Managers, 7 Committees, 8 Bond Memorial, 130 Botany, Courses in, 48 Buildings, 130, 131 Activities and Class Lodges Astronomical Observatories Bartol Foundation Building Bassett Dormitory Beardsley Hall Benjamin West House Bond Memorial Chemistry, Hall of Dormitories Field House Hall Gymnasium (for Men) Hicks Hall Isaac H.
