SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN 13 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE Swarthmore College is situated in the Borough of Swarthmore, eleven miles southwest of Philadelphia on the Octoraro branch of the Pennsylvania Railroad. Swarthmore is connected with Broad Street Station by nineteen inbound and twenty-two outbound trains daily, the running time o f which varies from nineteen minutes on express schedule to thirty-six minutes on the local schedule. Three trolley lines, running cars at fifteen- to thirty-minute intervals, also connect with Philadelphia elevated and surface lines. The College buildings and campus occupy a commanding posi­ tion upon a wooded hill not far from the center o f the town. The Delaware River is about four miles distant. More than two hundred acres are contained in the College property, including a large tract of woodland and the beautiful rocky valley of Crum Creek. There are over twenty College buildings. The enrollment o f the College is limited to five hundred students. The total of the College endowment is more than three million dollars. The College was founded in 1864 through the efforts o f mem­ bers o f the Religious Society of Friends, for the purpose of securing to the youth 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 on the same terms as Friends, and nothing of 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 o f Managers o f the College was limited to persons belong­ ing to the Society of Friends. The purpose of 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 14 SWAKTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN restriction is now believed to be no longer needed and is omitted from the revised charter. The intention of its founders was to make the promotion o f Christian character the first considera­ tion, and to provide opportunities for liberal culture while main­ taining a high standard o f scholarship. These aims have been followed in the administration of the institution. BUILDINGS Parrish Hall is a massive stone structure, with its central por­ tion separated from the two wings by fireproof compartments. The central building, 348 feet long and five stories high, fur­ nishes assembly room, lecture rooms, museum, parlors, dining and offices. The wings are four stories high. The ground floor of each wing is used for lecture and recitation room s; the remaining floors contain the dormitories of the women students. Assistant to the Dean o f Women and several matrons reside in the building. Wharton Hall, the dormitory for young men, is named in honor o f its donor, Joseph Wharton, late President of the board of Managers. The capacity o f the hall is about two hundred. It stands in the west campus on the same ridge as Parrish Hall, and commands a view o f the Delaware River valley. W orth Hall, a dormitory for seventy young women students, is an attractive building of native stone, with mottled slate roofs, including six cottages, contiguous but distinctive in design. It is located on the east side of the campus, near Chester Road and College Avenue. The building and its equipment were the gift o f the late William P. Worth, ’76, and the late J. Sharpless Worth, ex-’73 as a memorial to their parents. The Science Hall is a two-story stone building devoted chiefly to the departments o f Physics, Biology and Education. It contains physical and biological laboratories. The east wing of this building includes a new biological laboratory named in honor of Professor Spencer Trotter, commemorating the thir­ tieth anniversary of the graduation o f the class o f 1890. The Hall o f Chemistry 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 fire­ SWARTHMOBE COLLEGE BULLETIN 15 proof combustion room, a laboratory for gas analysis, a photo­ metric dark room, large stock room, and cloak and toilet rooms. On the first floor are offices, and laboratories for quantitive 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 laboratory for elec­ trolytic 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 of the building. The laboratories are equipped with all the necessary modem apparatus. The chemical library contains scientific and technical books pertaining to chemistry, and com­ plete sets o f five o f the leading chemical journals. Through the generosity o f Mrs. Peter T. Berdan, the library has received a complete set o f the publications o f the London Chemical Society, and a set o f the Journal o f the London Society o f 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 Sprout Astronomical Observatory, equipped by former Governor William Cameron Sproul, '91, contains nine rooms. On the first floor are offices, a departmental library, a computa­ tion room, class room, and a measuring room. On the second floor are a lecture room seating seventy-five persons, a dark room, and the dome room. Practically all the classes o f the de­ partment o f Mathematics and Astronomy, and some classes of other departments are held in the Observatory. The chief instrument o f the equipment is an equatorial re­ fractor o f twenty-four inches aperture, and thirty-six feet focal length, the mounting and optical parts o f which were made by the John A. Brashear Co., Ltd. The mounting is modem and convenient, motors being provided for winding the clock and moving the telescope. The driving clock is electrically con­ trolled. A disc driven by a sidereal clock situated on the north side of the pier reads right ascensions directly. The telescope is mounted in a dome room forty-five feet in diameter. The dome is a steel structure covered with copper and is revolved by 16 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN an electric motor. The telescope is provided with the usual oculars, helioscope, position micrometer, double-slide plateholder, and two ray filters. There is also a photographic telescope of nine inches aper­ ture and forty-five inches focal length, mounted after the de­ sign of the Bruce 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 accessories as make it an effective and convenient instrument. There are also two measuring engines for measuring five-by­ seven photographic plates. One of these was built by Brashear, the other by Gaertner. There is also a blink microscope. Stephen Loines has given to the observatory a Polar Equa­ torial a new type of telescope, designed and built by the Alvan Clark and Sons’ Corporation. W ith this type o f telescope 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 o f instruction. It contains a refract­ ing telescope o f six inches aperture, mounted equatorially, fitted with the usual accessories, including a position micrometer and a spectroscope. The observatory also contains a transit instru­ ment o f three inches aperture, a sidereal clock and a chrono­ graph. Mounted in a room adjoining the transit room is a Milne seismograph, presented by Joseph Wharton, which records photo­ graphically the E -W components of vibrations o f the crust of the earth. The latest addition to this observatory building con­ tains 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 through a gift to the College from Mr. Andrew Carnegie and is maintained from the income on a sum sub­ scribed by several friends of the College. The building is con­ structed of local granite, with terra cotta and Indiana limestone trimmings and was erected under the supervision o f Edward L. Tilton, of New York. In the second story o f the entrance tower, SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN 17 is a large fireproof apartment, which contains the Friends’ Historical Library; in the third story, are placed the West­ minster chimes o f four bells and the Seth Thomas Clock, pre­ sented to the College in June, 1910, by Morris L. Clothier, ’90, in commemoration o f the twentieth anniversary of the gradu­ ation o f the Class o f 1890. The first floor of the main building contains a stack room and a large reading room finished in dark oak. The reading room is two stories high, with a gallery round three sides. On this gallery open the seminar rooms, and the tower room devoted to the Friends’ Historical Library; below are alcoves containing reference books and other books in com­ mon use. Beardsley Hall is a three-story building o f concrete block con­ struction, with interior work all o f reinforced concrete. It represents a modern type o f factory building. The ground floor contains the forge and foundry, the second floor the machine shop and the third floor the woodworking department. Hicks Hall, a three-story stone building, is the headquarters o f the Division o f Engineering. This building was erected in 1920 and was given by Frederick C. Hicks, Swarthmore, class of 1893, and dedicated to the memory o f the Hicks family of Long Island, Isaac Hicks, Elias Hicks, Benjamin D. Hicks and Alice A. Hicks. The first floor is largely taken up by the mechanical laboratory, and contains, in addition, instrument rooms, research laboratory, class room, office and lavatory. The second floor con­ tains the electrical laboratory, electrical research and instrument rooms, a small drawing room for junior and senior students, offices and class rooms. The third floor has a large drawing room for underclass work, an auditorium capable o f seating 175 stu­ dents, a library containing about 1500 volumes, a class room and offices. 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 50 by 80 feet, equipped with appar­ atus for individual and class work and a good court for basket­ ball. 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. 18 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN Somerville Hall, erected in 1893 through, the efforts o f the Somerville Literary Society, is used as a gymnasium for the women. It is furnished with apparatus adapted to the Swedish system of gymnastics. In the basement are dressing rooms, showers, and lockers fo r the use of day students who take work in the department of Physical Education. There are two Swimming Pools in separate stone buildings, one for the women and another for the men. These pools were presented to the College by Philip M. Sharpies. The building 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 Heating and Lighting Plant. A central heat, light, and power plant is housed in a single-story brick structure, situated south o f the Pennsylvania Railroad tracks. Other buildings upon the campus are the Meeting-house, the Benjamin W est House (birthplace of Benjamin West, P. R. A., erected in 1724), the President’s House, the Dean’s House, Cun­ ningham House (the residence of the Professor o f Astronomy and Mathematics), residences for members o f the Faculty, a laundry building, a lodging house for the domestic servants, and farm building. The Cloisters, a new development, is the group of lodges for the men’s fraternities and the Wharton Club, now in course of erec­ tion on the west campus facing Wharton Hall. These buildings, o f native stone, are to be connected by cloisters. Swarthmore Field and Alumni Field provide facilities for outdoor athletics o f the men. Swarthmore Field comprises the football and lacrosse grounds, and a quarter-mile cinder track with a two hundred and twenty yards straight-away. Alumni Field, contiguous with Swarthmore Field, provides a baseball ground and an auxiliary football field. The men’s tennis courts are in front o f Wharton Hall. The front campus affords addi­ tional playing fields for lacrosse, soccer and girls’ hockey. Cunningham Field, the women’s athletic ground, includes a part of the east campus across Chester Road. This, and an area west o f W orth Dormitory, furnish space for English field hockey, tennis and basketball. Cunningham Field was given by stu­ SWABTHMOBE COLLEGE BULLETIN 19 dents, alumna, and friends o f the College as a tribute to the late Susan J. Cunningham, who was for many years Professor of Mathematics and Astronomy. SOCIAL L IF E Swarthmore, as a coeducational institution, undertakes to pro­ vide college life in a home setting f to supply an atmosphere 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 of 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 of age are expected to attend either Friends’ Meeting, held every First-day morning in the Meeting House, or, at the request o f their parents, the church in the borough o f the religious denomination to which they belong. A class to which all students are invited is held at 10.00 on First-day mornings for the consideration o f religious subjects. STUDENTS’ SO CIETIES The Cercle frangais holds frequent meetings and is open to all students in the French Department after the middle of their first year. Its object is to afford increased opportunities for acquiring a practical knowledge o f the French language. The Scientific Society is an organization o f the students and faculty interested in the newer scientific development. It meets on the first Tuesday o f each month. The program consists of lectures and discussions, about one third o f which are given by scientific men not connected with the College. The Classical Club meets once a month during the College year. Addresses and papers are given on subjects which em­ phasize the broader aspect o f classical culture and civilization. The English Club meets once a month to hold discussions and 20 SWABTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN to listen to papers and addresses upon topics of literary and dramatic interest. The Somerville Forum is an outgrowth of the Somerville Lit­ erary Society which was established in 1871. A ll women students are active members. There is one meeting a month, conducted by persons of prominence and authority, for the dis­ cussion o f problems of vital interest to women. The final meet­ ing in A pril known as Somerville Day, is a meeting o f alumnae and active members. 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 Polity Club is an organization of students o f the College who meet twice a month for the study and discussion of social and political problems. The Economics Club, composed of students majoring in eco­ nomics, has occasional meetings during the college year. The Athletic Association is an organization of the men for the encouragement o f physical training and athletic sports. The W om en’s Athletic Association is a similar organization of the women students. Musical Clubs. In addition to other activities, the musical interests o f the students find expression in the musical clubs. The Girls’ Glee Club gives a public concert each spring. The Swarthmore College Glee and Instrumental Clubs, composed of men, give several local concerts and also concerts in various cities under alumni auspices on tour during vacation periods. Christian Associations. The religious life among the students is furthered by the Young M en’s and Young W omen’s Christian Associations. Formal and informal receptions and other social functions are given with the object of promoting fellowship and a democratic spirit. Public meetings for worship are held every SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN 21 Sunday evening, the young men meeting in Wharton Hall and the young women in Parrish Hall. No student organization of the College may incur any finan­ cial obligation, or make any contract involving a monetary con­ sideration, without first obtaining the sanction o f the President o f the College, or o f the proper faculty committee under whose supervision 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 organization, he will advise the student representatives o f the particular faculty committee under whose supervision the or­ ganization is placed. COLLEGE PUBLICATIONS Two periodicals are published by the students under the super­ vision o f the facu lty: The Phoenix, a weekly publication, is de­ voted to undergraduate journalism; The Portfolio, a literary magazine o f the undergraduates, is published quarterly; the Halcyon is published annually by the Junior Class. The Swarthmore College Bulletin is published quarterly and contains a record o f the matters of permanent importance in the progress o f the College. H ONORARY SCH OLARSH IP SOCIETIES The Swarthmore chapter o f Phi Beta Kappa, the national society for the recognition o f scholarship, was organized in 1896. Each year a certain number o f students in the senior class, or the junior class, having the highest standing are elected to mem­ bership. The Swarthmore chapter o f Sigma Tau, the national society standing for scholastic attainment in engineering, was established in 1917. Members are chosen from among senior or junior stu­ dents majoring in civil, or electrical, or mechanical engineering. The Swarthmore chapter o f Sigma X i, the national scientific society for the promotion o f research, was granted a charter in 1922. Students may become associate members after two and one-half years in college provided that, in the opinion o f the 22 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN members of the society, they evidence promise of research ability, and may become members after they have produced a piece of research worthy of publication. L IB R A R IE S AND READ IN G ROOMS The libraries o f the College collectively Contain about six­ ty-four thousand volumes. The chief sources of income for increasing the collection in the college library are these: the Edgar Allen Brown Fund, the Alumni Fund, the General Library Fund, the Carnegie Li­ brary Fund, the George Taber Fund the Clement M. Biddle Fund, the Elizabeth Powell Bond Fund and the Friends’ His­ torical Library Fund. Residents o f the borough of Swarthmore are free to use the library. The Friends’ Historical Library, founded by the late Anson Lapham, o f Skaneateles, N. Y., contains a valuable and growing collection o f Friends’ books, tracts, and early writings (many very rare), photographs o f representative Friends, other objects o f personal and historic interest, and manuscripts relating to the Society and its history. This collection is carefully stored in the Library, and it is hoped that Friends and others will deem it a secure place in which to deposit books and other mate­ rial in their possession which may be of interest in connection with the history o f the Society. Such contributions are solicited, and should be addressed to the Friends’ Historical Library, Swarthmore, Pa. The library is accessible to all persons in­ terested in the doctrines and history of Friends, and ample arrangements are provided for its use for consultation and for reference. Moreover, the great collections o f 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 o f the city, are open to the use o f students under proper regulations. The Philadelphia library resources, which are of SWABTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN 23 special 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. The Library hours are 8.00 a . m . to 10.00 p . m . Monday to Friday and 8.00 a . m . to 5.00 p . m . on Saturday. 24 SWAETHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN E X PE N SE S The charge for tuition is $300 a year, payable in advance.

The Ivy Medal is placed in the hands of the faculty by a friend o f the College, to be awarded on Commencement Day to a male member of the graduating class. The regulations govern­ ing the award are as follow s: SWARTHMOKE COLLEGE BULLETIN 33 (1 ) The idea behind the Ivy Medal is in general the Rhodes Scholarship qualifications, including (a ) qualities o f manhood, force o f character, and leadership; (6 ) literary and scholastic ability and attainments. This has been phrased by the donor in the words “ leadership based upon character and scholarship.” (2 ) It is the wish o f the donor that the medal should not be awarded on a mere basis o f averages. Instead, it is desired that the winner should be a man who gives promise o f distinction either in character or in intellectual attainments, as opposed to a man who has merely made the most o f mediocre abilities. (3 ) On the other hand, it is the wish o f 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. 17. The Oak Leaf Medal is placed in the hands of the faculty by a friend o f the College, to be awarded on Commencement Day to a young woman member o f the graduating class for loyalty, scholarship, and service. 18.

Then, while preference is to be given to members o f the Baltimore Yearly Meeting of Friends, it is not to be confined to them when suit­ able persons in membership cannot be found. 19. The T. H. D udley P erkins M emorial S cholarship pro­ vides for the board and tuition of one young man.

Qualities o f manhood, force of character and leader­ ship, 50 points. Second. Literary and scholastic ability and attainments, 30 points. Third. Physical vigor as shown by participation in out-ofdoor sports or in other ways, 20 points. 34 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN These requirements are similar to the conditions of the Rhodes Scholarship.

COLLEGE ENTRANCE E X A M IN A TIO N BOARD E x a m in a t io n s op J une 21-26,1926 The application for examination should be addressed to the College Entrance Examination Board, 431 West 117 Street, New York, N. Y . It should be made upon a blank form to be ob­ tained from the Secretary of the College Entrance Examination Board. I f the application be received sufficiently early the examination fee will be $10 for each candidate whether examined in the United States, Canada, or elsewhere. The fee, which should accompany the application, should be remitted by postal order, express order, or draft on New York to the order o f the College Entrance Examination Board. Applications and fees o f candidates who wish to be examined outside o f the United States and Canada should reach the Sec­ retary o f the Board at least six weeks in advance o f the first day o f the examinations, that is, on or before May 10, 1926. Applications and fees o f candidates who wish to be examined in the United States at points west o f the Mississippi River or in Canada should be received at least four weeks in advance of the first day o f the examinations, that is, on or before May 24, 1926. 40 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN Applications and fees of candidates who wish to be examined in the United States at points east of the Mississippi River or on the Mississippi River should be received at least three weeks in advance o f the first day o f the examinations, that is, on or before Monday, May 31, 1926. When a candidate has failed to obtain the required blank form o f application for examination the usual examination fee will be accepted, if the fee arrives not later than the specified date accompanied by a memorandum containing the name and address o f the candidate, the exact examination center selected, and a list o f all the subjects in which he expects to take the Board examinations. Applications received later than the dates named will be ac­ cepted when it is possible to arrange for the examination o f the candidates concerned, but only upon payment of an additional fee of five dollars. Detailed definitions of the requirements in all examination sub­ jects are given a circular o f information published annually by the College Entrance Examination Board. The edition published December 1, 1924, was designated as Document 114. A new edition designated as Document 117 appeared December 1, 1925. Upon request a single copy o f this document will be sent to any teacher without charge. In general a charge o f twenty cents, which may be remitted in postage, will be made. A d m is s io n b y C e r t if ic a t e . Graduates o f high schools and preparatory schools approved by the faculty and Instruction Committee may be admitted to the College on certificate of the principal. The faculty admits these students on trial, and re­ serves the right to change their classification or to decline to continue their connection with the College if they find them to be insufficiently prepared. The privilege of certificating students may be withdrawn from any school whose pupils are found to be deficient. Graduation from an acceptable four years’ high school course or its equivalent is required for admission to the Freshman class on certificate. SWARTHMOEE COLLEGE BULLETIN 41 D EFIN ITIO N OF ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS I t is to be noted that the subjects included among the entrance requirements are rated as strictly as possible according to the time that should have been devoted to preparatory work in each. In regard to a unit o f admission requirements, the faculty of Swarthmore College has approved the following statement, which has been adopted by the National Conference Committee on Standards of Colleges and Secondary Schools, the College En­ trance Examination Board, and the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement o f Teaching: A unit represents a year’s study in any subject in a secondary school, constituting approximately a quarter of a full year’s work. This statement is designed to afford a standard o f measure­ ment for the work done in secondary schools. It takes the fouryear high school course as a basis, and assumes that the length of 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 standard a satisfactory year’s work in any subject cannot be accomplished 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 fifteen. In accordance with a resolution adopted in 1908 by the Mod­ ern 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 for 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 admission. Detailed definitions o f the requirements in all subjects listed under the general statement on page 00, including lists o f ex­ 42 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN periments in the natural sciences are given in a special cir­ cular o f information published annually by the College Entrance Examination Board. Copies of this document may be obtained from the Secretary o f the Board, 431 West 117th Street, New York, N. Y . Upon request to the Board a single copy will be sent to any teacher without charge. In general a charge of twenty cents, which may be remitted in postage stamps, will be made. LIM ITA TIO N OF ENROLLMENT The size o f the Freshman class each year is determined by the resolution o f the Board o f Managers which limits the total en­ rollment o f the College to 500 students, 250 men and 250 women. From the applicants for admission in any year who meet fully the entrance requirements o f the College, the members of the Freshman class are chosen in the order o f merit. Ranking in the highest quarter of their class in school is practically a requi­ site. In the determination of scholarship, breadth o f reading and interest in intellectual matters are considered as well as school grades. As to character, the qualities sought are the sim­ plicity, moral earnestness and idealism which have been tradi­ tionally associated with the Society of Friends and with Swarthmore College. Preference is given to candidates who are children of Friends and o f Alumni o f the College provided their school records meet in all respects the standards set by the College for admission. When the merits of two candidates are approximately equal, it is considered fair that preference should be given to the earlier application. Candidates for admission should make early application. Record of their school work for the first three years, signed by the school Principal should be submitted one year prior to ad­ mission. Application blanks and certificate blanks are furnished by the Dean of the College upon request. Certificates are re­ turned to the school Principals in the spring for the record of the Senior year. Applicants whose school records are good are invited to call at Swarthmore College at suitable times during the fall and win­ SWABTHMOBE COLLEGE BULLETIN 43 ter for interviews. Persons living too far from Swarthmore to make this possible are interviewed by representatives of the College in any part o f the United States. The names of the women applicants accepted for admission are announced as soon as possible after March 1, and the names o f the men applicants as soon as possible after May 1, of the year o f admission. A D VAN CED STANDING F or favorable consideration, applicants for advanced stand­ ing must have had a high scholastic record in the institution from which they desire to transfer, and must present full creden­ tials for both college and preparatory work and a letter of honorable dismissal. In general, students are not admitted to advanced standing later than the beginning o f the Junior year. U SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN REQUIREM ENTS FO R GRADUATION T H E GENERAL UNDERGRADUATE COURSE OP STUDY The degree o f Bachelor o f Arts is conferred upon those who complete the undergraduate course as outlined below. This course is based upon uniform requirements for admission, and upon certain studies which are prescribed for all matriculates. In addition to securing this fundamental uniformity, it provides for the varied needs and capacities o f individuals by permitting a wide range o f election on the part 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 o f a thesis from a candidate for the Bachelor’s degree is left to the option o f the head o f the department in which the m ajor is taken. Candidates for graduation in the Department o f Liberal Arts are required to complete one hundred and twenty-four “ hours” in addition to the prescribed work in physical education. For the number o f hours required for graduation in the Departments 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 fo r 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 o f the student is estimated at an average o f 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 hours defined above. The prescribed number o f hours for students majoring in SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN 45 the Departments of Liberal Arts is seventeen for each semester o f the freshman year and fifteen for each semester of the sopho­ more, junior, and senior years. The prescribed number of 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 o f determining this quality grade, numerical values called “ points,” shall be given to the grade letters, as follows: for grade A, three points for each semester hour o f 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 A p ­ plied Science, is one hundred and twenty-four. This is a requirement for Arts students of an average grade o f C. In other words, A rt students are required for graduation to pre­ sent one hundred and twenty-four hours of credit and one hun­ dred and twenty-four points. Students in Applied Science will be required for graduation to present the number o f hours of credit now prescribed (ranging from one hundred and thirtytwo to one hundred and forty-eight) and one hundred and twenty-four points. Extra or 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 Extra Work. Students often find it difficult, however, to make out a course o f study for the exact number o f hours, and for this reason a variation of one hour more or less than the prescribed number of 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 for the purpose by the Dean. No student whose marks have fallen be­ 46 SW ARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN low C in any subject or below B in more than one department during the preceding semester shall be permitted to enroll for more than one hour in excess o f the prescribed number. For students entering from other schools or colleges these grades shall be determined from their entrance certificates. No application o f a student to enroll for more or less than the prescribed num­ ber of hours shall he considered by the committee unless accom­ panied by the written endorsement o f the course adviser. I. Prescribed Studies.— These studies must he 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 o f the prescribed studies with one elective. The time and order in which the remaining studies are taken may vary according to the requirements o f each department. The prescribed work, amounting to forty-three hours, exclusive o f the Physical Education, includes the following studies: Group 1. English.— Ten hours, four of which must be taken in English Composition, and six in English Literature. Group 2. Greek, Latin, French, German, Spanish.— Twelve hours in any one o f these languages, or six hours in each of two. I f a language is begun in College it must be pursued for two years. Group 3. Twelve* hours, in the following departments: His­ tory, History of Religion and Philosophy, Economics, Political Science, Education, and the Fine Arts. Group 4. Biology, Chemistry, Physics.— Six hours, to be taken in any one o f the three departments, and to include at least one credit-hour of laboratory work throughout a year. Group 5. Mathematics, Astronomy.— Six hours, to be taken in either one of the two studies. Group 6. Physical Education.— F or the prescribed amount o f work in this department, see the statements under the De­ partment o f Physical Education. Students who fail in the required courses o f the freshman year shall enroll in these courses during the sophomore year. * Students in the Departments o f the applied sciences are required to take nine hours in the Departments mentioned. SWAKTHMOKE COLLEGE BULLETIN 47 No deviation from this rule will be allowed except on the writ­ ten endorsement of the course adviser, and after notification to the professor in charge o f the subject in which the student failed. A ll prescribed studies must be completed or in actual process of completion at the beginning 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 of elective for prescribed work where more than one semester is involved shall be permitted after the be­ ginning o f the senior year, nor in any case after the beginning o f the second semester o f the senior year. Application for permission to substitute an elective 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. Students in engineering and applied science will take an ex­ amination in Plane Trigonometry before entering upon the study of Analytic Geometry. Those who do not show a sufficient knowledge o f the subject in this examination will take a course in Plane Trigonometry in College as an extra study not to be counted for credit toward graduation. II. Major Subject.— Every candidate for graduation is re­ quired to select the work o f some one department as his major. In most cases the selection may well be postponed until the be­ ginning o f the second year. In the department thus chosen the student must complete eighteen hours as a minimum (the pre­ scribed work done in the major study to be included in this minimum), and the professor in charge may, at his option, de­ termine the work o f thirty-six hours, provided six hours shall not be in his own department. I f the m ajor 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. 48 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN I f the major study is changed from any branch o f Engineer­ ing to a department in Arts, the number of 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 : Anthropology, Art, Astronomy, Bible Study, Biology, Botany, Chemistry, Economies, Education, Engineering, English, French, Geology, German, Greek, History, History o f Religion, Latin, Law, Mathematics, Philosophy, Physics, Political Science, Psychology, Public Speaking, Spanish, Zoology. HONORS COURSES Students who are capable of doing more independent work than that required to fulfill the ordinary requirements for the A . B. degree are allowed to volunteer at the end of the Sophomore year to read for the A . B. degree with honors.** Admission to * Thu theory underlying this honors work was outlined by President Aydelotte in his inaugural address I t Swarthmore CoUege on October 22, 1921, m the follow*]w. most fundamentally wasteful feature of our educational institutions is th e la c k of a h ig h e rsta n d a rd o f intellectual attainment. W e are educating more students up to a fan- average than any country in the world, but we are wastefully allowing the capacity of the average to prevent us from bringing the best up to the standards they could reach. Our most important task at the present is to check this W*“ The method of doing it seems clear : to give to those students who are “ ‘ «î '■ ested in the intellectual life harder and more independent work than could profitably be given to those whose devotion to matters of the intellect is less keen, to demand of the former in the course of their four years work, a standard of attainment for the A.B. degree distinctly higher than we require of them at present and comparable, uprhans with that which is now reached for the A.M, .v “ I do not believe that we should deny to the average, or below average, student the benefit o f a college education. He needs this training, and we need his humanizing presence in the colleges, hut we should not allow him ^ bold back m hisi more> companions from doing that high quality of work which will in the end best justify the time and money which we spend in education. ,. , ■«_„ * “ With these abler students it would be possible to do things which we dare not attempt with the average. W e could allow them to specialize more because their own alCTtness o f mind would of itself be sufficient to widen their intellectual r a n p and give them that acquaintance with other studies necessary for a liberal point of! v e , “ We could*1give these better students greater independence in their work, the snoon-feeding which makes much of our college instruction of the present day of secondary school character. Our examinations should be less frequent and more com­ prehensive, and the* task o f the student should be to prepare h i m s e l f 01-th ese testa through his own reading and through the instruction offered by the college. SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN 49 the status o f an honors student depends upon the quality of the applicant’s work in the first two years. In the consideration of this record, special aptitude is regarded as o f more importance than a mere high average of grades all round. Honors students are excused from the ordinary examinations and course require­ ments. Instead, they are expected to spend two years in master­ ing a certain definitely outlined field o f knowledge over which they are examined at the end o f their two years’ work. Their instruction is mainly individual, and a large part of their work is done independently by their own reading. It is open to Honors students to attend as many or as few o f the regular classes of the College as they desire, though they are guided in this respect by the advice o f the Chairman of the division in which they are reading. The comprehensive examinations at the end o f their course consist of from ten to twelve three-hour papers followed by an oral examination. These tests are conducted not by the persons who have had charge o f the preparation of the candidates but by professors from other institutions. On the basis of these examinations, Honors students’ are given the degree o f Bachelor o f Arts with Honors of the first or second or third class as their merits may deserve. Candidates whose work is not of a high enough quality to entitle them to any of these classes may be given the ordinary A. B. degree without Honors. Honors work is carefully organized but not so narrowly specialized as to fall in any case within the limits o f a single department. Instead, each honors course is given by a group of departments combined into a division. The divisions in which honors work is now being offered, together with the requirements in each, are as follows: DIVISION OP E N G LISH LITERATU RE The Honors course in the Division o f English Literature is conducted jointly by the Departments o f English, History, and Philosophy. The Committee in charge consists of Dr. Goddard, English, Chairman; Dr. Hull, H istory; Dr. Holmes, Philosophy; and President Aydelotte and Dean Walters, English. The field covered by the course is the history o f English 50 SWARTHMOEE COLLEGE BULLETIN thought from the Fourteenth Century through the Nineteenth, with its necessary background o f social and political history. The main part of the work is comprised in the study o f six topics outlined below. Honors students are left to prepare for them­ selves those portions of English History and Literature not cov­ ered by the special topics. I. English Literature o f the periods o f Chaucer, Shakespeare, and Milton. II. The Social and Political History o f England from the Black Death to the Restoration o f Charles II. III. The Transition in England from Mediaeval to Modern Thought during the Renaissance and the Reformation. IY . English Literature from the French Revolution to the End o f the Nineteenth Century. Y . History of England from the French Revolution to the end o f the Nineteenth Century. Y I. Philosophy and Science in the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries. The set books required o f all students are announced in a list published two years in advance and may be changed after each two-year period. Students desiring to read fo r honors in this division should enroll in their Freshman year in a special section o f English 4, A General Introduction to English Literature. They are also required to take, in their Freshman or Sophomore year the fol­ lowing courses: (1) Introduction to Philosophy, (2) Logic or Scientific Method, (3) A General Survey of English History, Course 93. Courses 93 (a) and 93 (b) are open to Honors stu­ dents in their Junior and Senior year and are especially designed to supply a more detailed background than that given in Course 93 for the field covered by the honors work; these courses are therefore strongly recommended. DIVISION OP T H E SOCIAL SCIENCES The Honors course in the Division o f the Social Sciences is conducted jointly by the Departments o f Political Science, Eco­ nomics, History, Education, and Philosophy. The Committee in SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN 51 charge consists of Dr. R. C. Brooks, Political Science, Chairman ; Mr. Hersey, Economics; Dr. Manning, H istory; Dr. Ryan, Edu­ cation ; and Dr. Blanshard, Philosophy. The course covers prescribed books in political philosophy, in history, in philosophy and ethics, and in economic history and economic theory. The general topics considered by the group include history o f political ideas; political institutions of the United States and Great Britain; development of modern na­ tional states; money and currency; industrial development and industrial conditions; population and labor; and a study o f the leading economic forces that have shaped the political and social institutions o f the United States. The prescribed books and books suggested for supplementary reading are listed two years in advance, the list may be changed at the end of each two-year period. DIVISION OP M A T H E M A T IC S, A STR O N O M Y , A N D P H Y SIC S The Honors work in the Division o f Mathematics, Astronomy, and Physics is conducted jointly by these departments of the College. The Committee in charge consists of Dr. Miller, Mathe­ matics and Astronomy, Chairman; Dr. Marriott, Mathematics and Astronomy; and Dr. Wright, Physics. The course presumes a grounding in preparatory and cultural subjects. As fundamental for reading for honors in this division the students must have taken in class, under instructors, Trigo­ nometry, Algebra, Plane Analytic Geometry, Solid Analytic Geometry, Calculus, Advanced Calculus and Differential Equa­ tions. The Honors course then takes up Spherical Trigonometry, Theory o f Equations, Theory o f Determinants and their A ppli­ cation, Infinite Series and Infinite Products, Introduction to the Theory o f Simpler Functions, Theory o f Finite Differences and Interpolations, and a short history o f Mathematics, Astronomy, or Physics. Three or four subjects are selected from the follow­ ing: Theory o f Differential Equations, Mechanics, Theory of Probability, Advanced Analytic Geometry, Theory o f Vectors, Theoretical Physics. The student who majors in Astronomy will 52 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN read in addition the Theory and Practice o f Determining Stellar Parallax, or Photometry, or Theory of Orbits. DIVISION OP F R E N C H The work of students reading for honors in French is directed by Professors Bronk and Bagley. This work comprises : (a) A practical knowledge of the French language as it exists today, with the power to write, speak and pronounce it with some degree o f excellence; also an acquaintance with French literature from its beginnings. This knowledge may be largely obtained by following in cursu thirty-six hours o f class-room work given here at the College. (b ) Familiarity with the history of France, its civilization, arts, etc., as well as with the history and development of the French language from the earliest times. This latter is to be obtained by studying Nyrop, Grammaire historique de la langue française, Part I, and Brunot, Histoire de la langue française, Parts I-IY. The ability to read the simpler literary monuments of the Old French period in their original form is required. (c ) A thorough and rather detailed study o f some one field or epoch of French literature or of some one writer. (d ) A good reading knowledge of either Italian or Spanish and the ability to pronounce this language. A t the weekly conference hours honors students give reports in French and all discussion is carried on in French. DIVISION OP T H E CLASSICS The work o f students reading for Classical Honors is directed by the Professors of the Department o f Greek and Latin. The course includes, as stated subjects, the Greek and Latin lan­ guages, Greek moral and political philosophy, the histories of ancient Greece and Rome, and, as optional subject, Greek and Roman fine art. Students follow one or the other of the follow­ ing programs according to whether they elect Greek or Latin as a m ajor language. (a) F or Classical Honors with Greek as major. Seven prescribed studies as follows : Greek and Roman History, Greek Tragic Drama, Greek Philosophy, Greek Epic, Greek Prose SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN 53 Composition and unseen Translation, Roman Satire, Roman Epistolary and Biographical Literature. One elective study from the following : Greek orators and his­ torians, Greek Comedy, Greek Lyric, Greek and Roman Archae­ ology. (b) F or Classical Honors with Latin as major. Seven prescribed studies as follows : Greek and Roman History, Roman Epic, Roman Satire, Roman orators and historians, Latin Prose Composition and unseen Translation, Greek Tragic Drama, Greek Philosophy. One elective study from the following: Roman Epistolary and Biographical Literature, Roman Novel, Roman Lyric, Greek and Roman Archaeology. DIVISION OP GERM AN The work o f students reading for honors in German is directed by Professor Newport. The requirements are as follows : (a) The power to write and speak German fluently and cor­ rectly. (b ) A thorough acquaintance with German literature from the beginnings. The monuments written in Old High German may he read in translation into modern German. Those in Middle High German must he read in the original. (c) Two elective studies from the following: The Develop­ ment o f the German Language ; Philosophy with special stress on German Philosophy; History of Germany from the Earliest Times ; Economics and Political Science with special reference to the achievements of the Germans in these fields. DIVISION OF C H E M ISTR Y The Honors work in the Division o f Chemistry will start with the academic year 1926-27. Students will not he admitted to work in this division until at the beginning o f the senior year. To be admitted, students will be required to show a knowledge of elementary mathematics (including a working knowledge of the calculus), a reading knowledge o f German, and familiarity with the elements o f inorganic and organic chemistry, analytical 54 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN chemistry (qualitative and quantitative analysis— including the determination o f carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen in organic com­ pounds) , the elements of physical chemistry and the fundamental concepts of physics. The work o f the senior year will consist o f intensive work in organic, physical, electro, and colloid chemistry. Each student will be required to take a particular field which he will be ex­ pected to master in its general outline, and he will then under­ take some one particular problem for individual research in this field. Instruction will be largely individual, both as regards library and laboratory work. Students will not be required to attend formal lectures but will hold frequent conferences with the instructors in charge. FOREIGN LANGUAGE REQUIREM ENTS FOR HONORS STUDENTS To take effect as stated below in 1924-25 and succeeding years, the following language requirements must be met by all candi­ dates for graduation with honors in the English Group, the Group in the Social Sciences, and such of the other groups as may accept it: A reading knowledge o f two o f the following languages, at least one o f which must be chosen from the first lis t: List I. French, German, Spanish, Italian. List II. Latin, Greek. Honors students are urged to complete these language require­ ments at the end o f the Sophomore year or at the earliest possible date hereafter. In any event they must present themselves for examination in one language before the end o f their Junior year, and in the second language before the end of .the first semester of their Senior year. RU LE COVERING CASES OF STUDENTS DROPPING HONORS W O R K It is, o f course, expected that honors students will continue normally in honors work for two years, being examined only at the end o f that time, except for a reading knowledge of lan­ guages as provided in the regulations dealing with that subject. Only reasons o f a grave character justify a student in giving 55 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN up honors work, or the faculty o f the group in dropping a stu­ dent, prior to the end of the two year period. Whenever neces­ sary such action should be decided upon immediately prior to the end o f a 'Semester. In all such cases the student involved shall take an examination in each o f the subjects covered during his continuance in honors work, and be given hours o f credit equivalent to the total number o f hours he would have earned in ordinary courses during the same period, with grades deter­ mined by the degree o f success attained in the said examina­ tions. The number o f hours o f credit to be assigned the student in each subject he has pursued in honors work shall be deter­ mined by the head o f the honors group concerned in consultation with his colleagues of the same group.

The professor in charge o f the m ajor subject will serve as course adviser for each student who has chosen a major subject. The Dean 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 OF 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 obtain the endorsement o f the head o f the department concerned before entering upon the work. REM O VAL OF CONDITIONS Members o f the graduating class must make up all outstand­ ing 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 for which the condition was imposed was not repeated until said second semester, and (2) it is considered necessary by the professor that the student should SWABTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN 59 make up part or all o f the class or laboratory work involved at the time the course is repeated. A ny condition not made up within a year from the time it is imposed shall thereafter have the effect upon the records o f an “ E ,” i.e., complete failure, which cannot be made up. SYSTEM OF GRADES Reports o f students’ work are received at the Dean’s office four times a year; at the end o f each semester and at each mid­ semester. A ll grades are mailed to parents at the end o f each semester, and are also given out to students at each mid-semester and at the end o f the first semester. The following system o f marking is used by instructors: A (excellent, 100-90 per c e n t.); B (good, 89-80 per ce n t.); C (fair, 79-70 per cent.) ; D (poor, 69-60 per ce n t.); E (fa ile d ); W (w ithdraw n); Cond. (Conditioned). The mark “ conditioned” shall be reported for only two rea­ sons: (1 ) for unsatisfactory work in a semester course in which the condition may be removed by doing satisfactory work either in another semester course which involves the subject-matter of the first course or in the second semester o f a year’s course; (2) when the work of a course is complete; 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 o f a theme, the read­ ing o f an assignment, or the taking o f a final examination. The mark “ conditioned” shall not be given to a student whose work in a course has been below the passing grade. Such a student shall be reported “ E ” (failed). When the reports o f grades are filed at the Dean’s office, the exact character of the conditions imposed will be defined, and the nature o f the work required to remove conditions reported in writing. The student will then be notified by the Dean of the terms o f the conditions. ABSENCES FROM E X A M IN ATIO N Any student who is absent from an examination, announce­ ment of which was made in advance o f the date o f the examina­ 60 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN tion, shall be given an examination at another than the scheduled hour only after presentation by the student to the instructor in charge of 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) o f a receipt from the office o f the superintendent for a fee o f $2. This fee shall be remitted only in the case o f duly certified quarantine. In case o f continuous illness the maximum fee shall be $5. No examinations in absentia shall be permitted. This rule shall be interpreted to mean that instructors shall give examina­ tions only at the college and under direct departmental super­ vision. ABSEN CES PROM CLASSES Each instructor shall make on the form provided for the pur­ pose daily reports of student absences to the offices o f the Dean. A ll powers o f supervision and discipline over student absences are vested in a Committee on Absences to be composed o f the Dean, the Dean of Women both ex officio, and other faculty mem­ bers appointed annually by the President of the College, who shall designate the Chairman o f the Committee from among its members. The absence regulations for 1925-26 are as follow s: 1. Each student shall be allowed as many absences from class in each course per semester as there are hours in that course, i.e., three absences for a three hour per week course, two absences for a two hour per week course. 2. A ny student with an average of 2.3 or above shall be allowed double this number o f absences; this ruling is to become effective the semester following the recording o f the grades in the Dean’s Office. 3. The foregoing allowances must cover absences for all causes except that one-half absence shall be counted for each hour of absence that is due to representing the college away from home bn athletic and debate teams. SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN 61 4. A t its discretion the Absence Committee may excuse ab­ sences due to prolonged illness, after the number o f such absences exceeds two-thirds o f the allowed number. 5. For each disallowed absence on days beginning or ending all vacations and holidays, including the summer vacation, stu­ dents shall be required to make one-half-hour credit for gradu­ ation in addition to the requirements as stated in the catalogue. 6. Each unexcused absence in excess o f the number allotted for each course under the proposed system shall be penalized by the loss o f one hour’s credit toward graduation. 7. A ll excuses for absence shall be acted upon exclusively by the Absence Committee. EXCLUSION FEOM COLLEGE The College reserves the right to exclude at any time students whose conduct or academic standing it regards as undesirable, and without assigning any further reason therefor; in such cases the fees due or which may have been paid in advance to the Col­ lege will not be refunded or remitted, in whole or in part, and neither the College nor any o f its officers shall be under any liability whatsoever for such exclusion. 62 SWABTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN D EG REES BACHELOR OP ARTS The degree of Bachelor o f Arts is conferred upon students who have complied with the requirements for graduation as stated on pages 44 to 61. M ASTER OF A R T S * i f The degree o f Master o f Arts may be conferred upon graduates of Swarthmore College or of other institutions of satisfactory standing who have spent at least a year in residence at this College, pursuing a systematic course o f non-professional study approved by the faculty. The amount of work required o f candidates for the Master’s degree consists o f the equivalent of thirty credit hours in courses o f instruction of advanced grade, o f which at least twenty hours shall be in a major subject and the remainder in a minor subject to be approved by the professor in charge o f the major subject. A ll candidates must have ful­ filled the requirements o f the Bachelor’s degree before entering upon graduate work. In no case will the Master’s degree be con­ ferred upon students in less than one year after the conferring of the Bachelor’s degree. It must be understood, however, that only students o f ability and maturity will be able to finish the work in one year. No person will be recommended fo r the Master’s degree who shall not have attained a grade of A or B on examination in each subject. Each candidate for the Master’s degree must prepare a satis­ factory thesis on a subject assigned by the professor in charge of the major subject, and must pass a final oral examination before a committee o f the faculty composed o f the professors in charge o f the major and minor subjects respectively, and three other members o f the faculty appointed by the President of the College. A majority vote o f this committee is required for * Candidates holding the degree of Bachelor of Science, who have fulfilled all the requirements prescribed for the degree of Master o f Arts, may at their option receive the degree o f Master o f Science.

Brooks, assisted by Mr. William M. Blaisdell. The primary aim of the courses offered in political science is to prepare students for intelligent and effective citizenship. To this end an effort is made to interpret the political life and movements of our time in city, state, and nation. Particular attention is given to criticisms 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 of their intrinsic importance, but also for the valuable sug­ gestions they may yield toward the solution of our American problems. Though the courses in political science are designed primarily to produce 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 be able to lay the foundations for such work in the undergraduate courses offered by this department. Unsupported by collateral study in economics and history much of the significance o f political science will be lost. Psychology, philosophy, and anthropology are also valuable aids. A reading knowledge of German or French should be acquired as soon as possible by students o f political science, and both o f these are essential for graduate study in this field. Training in English and public speaking is 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.

SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN 85 Econom ics This department was, during 1925-1926, under the direction o f Professor R. C. Brooks. Instruction was given by Mr. William M. Blaisdell, Mr. Claude C. Smith, Dr. Louis N. Robinson and certain members o f the Wharton School Faculty of the University o f Pennsylvania, t Good citizenship implies intelligent citizenship. The broadest purpose of college instruction in Economics is to contribute to the former by the cultivation o f the latter. From this point of view the study o f Economics should appeal to all students. In a narrower way, work in Economics should prove useful to those who intend to devote themselves to law, business, journalism, philanthropy, or the public service. Finally, 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. The courses in law are designed to give to the student an in­ sight into legal reasoning and a general knowledge of the funda­ mental legal relations which govern our society. It is expected that these courses will serve as a helpful introduction to pro­ fessional study for those who aim to prepare themselves for the life of the law yer; that those students who desire to equip them­ selves for active business life will be aided by an intelligent study of principles which lie at the basis o f commercial life ; and that in the systematic study o f the science of the law all will acquire not merely an understanding o f legal rules, but also an appreciation o f their justice, wisdom, and harmony. Collateral work in Political Science, History, German, and French is strongly recommended for all who intend to devote much time to Economics.

PREREQUISITES Students who propose to become candidates for any honors course of which philosophy is a part are required to complete before admission to honors work at least two courses in philos­ ophy, o f which the following are prescribed: (1) Either Logic or Scientific Methods; (2) Introduction to Philosophy, (or such other course as the department shall approve as its equivalent.) 92 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN Education The instruction in the Department of Education is under the direction of Professor W . Carson Ryan, Jr. Miss Edith Everett and Dr. Arthur W . Ferguson are lecturers in education. Courses in this Department are designed to meet the need of two groups o f students: (1) Those who, while not intending to teach, desire, as citizens and workers in other fields, to know something o f the current conditions and problems of American education; (2) those who wish to prepare for teaching. Course 140, the introductory course in education, is intended to meet the needs of both groups by furnishing a general survey of the field from the social and civic point of view. Course 141 supplements this with a study o f the scientific approach to the problems o f education. The remaining courses are designed m a in ly for those who plan a teaching career, but they are open to mature students interested in education, regardless o f whether they expect to teach or not. The courses are arranged to meet the new (1922) requirements o f the Pennsylvania Provisional College Certificate, which are representative o f requirements in the more progressive States. Eighteen hours in education are required for this Certificate, twelve prescribed and six elective. The twelve prescribed hours are covered by the following Swarthmore courses: Introduction (140), 3 hours; Educational Psy­ chology (141), 3 hours; Laboratory Teaching (146), 6 hours. The six hours o f electives may he taken from any other education courses offered in Swarthmore College, including certain courses given by other departments. Students in honors courses plan­ ning to teach should have taken Education 140 and 141 in the sophomore year and should plan for Education 146 in the senior year with the remaining six hours to he arranged. The College has a Teachers’ Appointment Committee, o f which Professor Ryan is chairman. The Committee aids students in their Senior year in securing teaching positions for the following fa ll Its services are also available for earlier graduates o f the College.

The courses in Biology are designed to give a broad view of the facts o f life as part o f a liberal education. The successful completion of the several courses for the degree o f A.B. is pre­ paratory to the study of Advanced Biology, Medicine, Forestry, or of Agriculture. Students are thus enabled to enter the tech­ nical schools of the leading universities in the above named branches. Courses in both Physics and Chemistry are required as en­ trance by the medical schools. The courses are arranged so as to present a logical sequence throughout thé four years of college work for students making Biology their major subject. Students making Biology their major will be required to take one year o f Chemistry or Physics, and the equivalent of two college years in a modern language. The requirement by the foremost medical schools o f the coun­ try of two years’ preparation in Biology is fulfilled by these courses in Swarthmore College. These courses likewise lead to the post-graduate work o f the university. The Academy o f Natural Sciences, Logan Square, Philadelphia, affords valuable matter for study and reference both in its col­ lections and library. The museum of the Wagner Free Institute o f Science, Seventeenth Street and Montgomery Avenue, Phila­ delphia, contains valuable aids to study.

SH OP W O R K A ll engineering students will be required to obtain experi­ ence in shop work. Such students as may so desire may do a portion or all o f the required work outside o f the College. Such work shall be of a nature to be approved by the faculty o f the Engineering Division, and shall be general enough to be equiva­ lent to the work required in the College shops. Those students desiring to substitute shop work in factories shall submit their plan to the faculty for approval prior to doing the work, and shall obtain from a responsible official o f the company, in whose SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN 109 factory they have been employed, a certificate of satisfactory work done, in such detail as may be required by the faculty. The amount of time devoted to shop work in the factory shall be at least twice that required in the College shop, and a greater amount of time may be required unless the work is well divided among different branches o f shop practice. I f the work done outside the College is deemed sufficiently complete to be a satis­ factory substitute for a part but not for all of the College course, then the student will be required to take only that por­ tion of the work in College in which his outside experience is considered deficient. The work in the College shop will be conducted during the College year and also during a period o f two weeks immediately preceding or following the College year. The required work will be equivalent to a period of four weeks of forty-four hours per week. The machine shop occupies a large portion o f the second floor of Beardsley Hall. It is arranged so that the machine and bench work are entirely separated. A large tool room is cen­ trally located and is in charge of an assistant who supplies indi­ vidual tools on a check system, as is done in commercial shops. The machine shop contains an assortment of tools including screw-cutting engine lathes; speed lathes, simple and backgeared; a planer; a complete universal milling machine with milling cutters; a shaper, a twist-drill grinder, and two vertical drill presses; a lathe-center grinder; plain and swivel vises; lathe chucks, universal and independent; also drill chucks, chucks for milling machine and vises for planing; surface plates; standard gauges, and a complete equipment o f small tools. The equipment of the machine shop includes two Hamilton engine lathes, 16 in. by 6 f t . ; a Lodge & Shipley lathe, of similar size; a Whitney wet tool grinder, and a 16 in. by 8 ft. Champion engine lathe of rugged design for the demonstration o f high­ speed cutting tools. The gearing on all lathes is covered by guards or casings to prevent accidents. The woodworking shop extends through the entire length of the third floor o f Beardsley Hall. A ll the woodworking ma­ chinery is o f the latest design, and each unit has a direct motor 110 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN drive and is equipped with approved safety devices. ment includes the following machines: The equip­ 24-inch Oliver Hand Planer and Jointer; 36-inch Oliver Single Surfaces; 38-inch Oliver Band Saw; Oliver Universal W ood Trimmer; Colburn Uni­ versal Circular Saw; Mummert, W olf and Dixon Oil Tool Grinder; 6-inch Bench type Oliver Hand Jointer; Post Drill Press and Boring Machine; 24-inch Oliver W ood Turning Lathe; eight 12-inch Oliver Motor Head Wood Turning Lathes. The tool room is equipped with all small tools and necessary stock for a complete course in elementary pattern making and woodworking. The forge shop. This equipment, on the ground floor o f the building, consists of ten fires and one additional master fire. The forges are operated on the down-draft principle, and were designed and constructed for this shop by the Buffalo Forge Company. The foundry is also located on the first floor, and has a gasheated cupola or furnace for melting metals in crucibles. The additional equipment consists o f moulding benches, flasks and other accessory apparatus. F ees. A fee o f ten dollars for each semester is charged for each course in surveying, mechanical laboratory, electrical lab­ oratory or illumination, and a fee o f five dollars per credit hour for shop work, and proportionate charge for shorter periods of required work. The M ajor in Engineering. Starting with the year 1926-27, the course of studies required o f students majoring in engineering will include a certain amount o f prescribed work and in addition a certain amount o f elective work. The requirements for elective work may be satisfied by more advanced studies in the different branches o f engineering and by equivalent work along definite lines in other departments. The detailed schedule of studies required is subject to certain matters pending, so that it cannot be given in this bulletin. In order to give an idea o f the nature o f the course, the sched­ ule o f studies as outlined for 1925-26 in the general engineering SWABTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN 111 course is appended. Most o f the subjects in this schedule will be required in the new course, although the number of hours and the position in the schedule may be changed. Announcement of the required work and a definite schedule will be made as soon as it can be arranged. Advanced Degrees in Civil, Mechanical, and Electrical Engineering (See page 63) 112 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN The following schedule is for courses offered in 1925-26. Cer­ tain changes will he made in these courses to meet the require­ ments of the changes in the prescribed work.

SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN 119 Mathematics and Astronom y The instruction in this department is under the direction o f Professor John A . Miller. Dr. Ross W . Marriott is Associate Professor. Mr. John H. Pitman, Dr. James A . Nyswander and Dr. Henry V. Gummere are Assistant Professors. Mr. Dean B. McLaughlin, Miss Emma T. R. Williams and Mr. Isaac L. Battin are Instructors. Miss Marjorie Onderdonk and Mr. Clifford E. Smith are Research Assistants. Reverend Walter A. Matos is Voluntary Observer and Mr. Murat Louis Johnson is Non-Resi­ dent Lecturer in Mathematics o f Insurance. Dr. Miller, Dr. Marriott and Mr. McLaughlin were on leave of Absence from September, 1925 to March, 1926, while on an Eclipse Expedition to Sumatra. The undergraduate courses for a m ajor in this department are designed to give the student a thorough basis for graduate work in Mathematics or Astronomy together with the perspective of the subject essential to the successful teacher of Mathematics in high schools and preparatory schools. Another group o f courses is adapted to the students o f science, pure and applied, while still other courses are offered for those interested in such phases o f business as accounting, insurance and statistics. The college requirement o f six hours o f Mathematics for all candidates for graduation may be satisfied by passing three hours o f Course 252 and Course 253, or by passing Courses 251 and 253, or by passing six hours o f Astronomy. The first o f these three alternatives is recommended. Students majoring in Mathe­ matics will take during the first year Courses 252 and 253. Graduate courses offered in Mathematics and Astronomy are flexible and planned to meet the need o f the individual student. The equipment o f the Observatory is best suited to astronometrical and kindred problems. The various eclipse expeditions from the Observatory have yielded considerable eclipse data. A description o f the instrumental equipment for Astronomy may be found on pages 15 and 16. The teaching staff is at present devoting as much time as is consistent with their teach­ 120 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN ing duties to studies in stellar! parallax with the 24-inch tele­ scope, to photography with the 9-inch doublet, and to the study o f eclipses of the sun. Students interested in any o f these prob­ lems may work with advantage in conjunction with one o f the professors. Results of departmental studies are published in the Sproul Observatory publications and in various scientific journals. The Observatory is open to visitors on the second and fourth Tuesday nights o f each month, except those Tuesday nights that fall in a vacation period. Visitors thus have an opportunity of seeing, in the course of a year, many celestial objects o f various types. A departmental library is located on the first floor of the Observatory. It contains about 2,000 volumes and is suf­ ficiently complete to make it a good working library. It is reasonably supplied with standard treatises, particularly those published in the last two decades. It contains complete sets of nearly all the American mathematical and astronomical peri­ odicals, and sets (some o f which are complete; some of which are not) o f the leading English, German and French periodi­ cals. This library receives the publications o f many o f the lead­ ing observatories in exchange for the publications o f the Sproul Observatory. COURSES IN M A TH E M A T IC S 251. Solid Geometry.

Wright.* Dr. Louis A. Parsons is Acting Professor. Mr. A. H. Croup is instructor. The department offers two courses in general physics which are of the same general content and calibre. These courses cover the fundamental principles of the science in their relation to the other sciences and to general experience. The lecture and recita­ tion work is supplemented by experiments for which the labora­ tory is well equipped. Advanced courses are offered in special branches of the sub­ ject and such changes will be made in these courses from year to year that a student may obtain a comprehensive, though neces­ sarily elementary, view o f the domain o f modern physics. The department aims to prepare students through these courses for post-graduate study, for research work in industrial laboratories, or for the teaching o f physics in secondary schools. For any o f these advanced courses a thorough grounding in mathematics and chemistry is essential. A n elementary knowledge o f the lan­ guages is of practical value in physics and a reading knowledge of scientific German should be obtained early. T H E COURSES IN P H Y SIC S 270. General Physics.

LeRoy Mercer, M.D., Assistant Professor o f Physical Educa­ tion. He is assisted in the courses for men by Mr. Frank Fitts and Mr. Robert H. Dunn, and fo r women by Miss Elizabeth Canning, Miss E. W inifred Chapman and Dr. Jeanette Sherman. The aim o f the department o f 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 director in gaining a definite knowledge o f the strength and weakness o f the individual, a careful physical examination and medical inspection (eye, nose, and throat) is required, which serves as a basis for the work. A ll students must take the prescribed work in Physical Educa­ tion. It is strongly recommended that, before entering College, each student undergo a thorough visual examination and be fitted with glasses, if there is a need for them. The Health Laws o f the State o f Pennsylvania require suc­ cessful vaccination against smallpox before a person can enter a private, parochial or public school as a student. F or a general statement in regard to the facilities for physical training at Swarthmore see pp. 18-19. REQU IREM EN TS FOB M E N Two hours a week o f regular prescribed work are required o f 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 super­ vision o f 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. 128 SWARTHMOKE COLLEGE BULLETIN COURSES FOR M E N 1.
