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 of 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 of mem­ bers of the Religious Society o f Friends, for the purpose of securing to the youth o f the Society an opportunity for higher educational training under the guarded supervision and care of those of 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 of 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 of such control by any sectarian element which might otherwise have come to be represented on the Board. This 14 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN restriction is now believed to be no longer needed and is omitted from the revised charter. The intention o f its founders was to make the promotion of Christian character the first considera­ tion, and to provide opportunities for liberal culture while main­ taining a high standard of 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, fu r­ nishes assembly room, lecture rooms, museum, parlors, dining hall, and offices. The wings are four stories high. The ground floor of each wing is used for lecture and recitation rooms; the remaining floors contain the dormitories of the women students. The Dean of Women and several instructors and matrons reside in the building. Wharton Hall, the dormitory for young menj is named in honor o f its donor, Joseph Wharton, late President of the Board o f 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 of 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 o f the campus, near Chester Road and College Avenue. The building and its equipment were the gift of the late W illiam 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 of 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 SWARTHMOKE 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 quantitative analysis and for general chemistry. The large amphitheater lecture room, seating one hundred persons and extending to the basement, is reached from this floor. The second floor contains the organic laboratory, the laboratory for qualitative analysis, •the laboratory for physical chemistry, the 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 o f 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 of the leading chemical journals. Through the generosity o f Mrs. Peter T. Berdan, the library has received a complete set of the publications of the London Chemical Society, and a set o f the Journal o f the London Society of Chemical Industry, presented by Mrs. Berdan as a memorial to her son, Frederick T. Berdan, a member o f the Class o f 1890. The Sprout Astronomical Observatory, equipped by former Governor William Cameron Sproul, ’91, contains nine rooms. On the first floor are an office, a departmental library, a com­ putation room, two class rooms, and a shop room. On the second floor are a lecture room seating seventy-five persons, a dark room, and the dome room. The dome is a steel structure covered with copper, forty-five feet in diameter. It is revolved by an electric motor. Practically all the classes o f the department of Mathematics and Astronomy, and some classes of other depart­ ments are held in the Observatory. The chief instrument of the equipment is an equatorial re­ fractor of twenty-four inches aperture, and thirty-six feet focal length, the mounting and optical parts of which were made by the John A . Brashear Co., Ltd. The mounting is modern and convenient, motors being provided for winding the clock and moving the telescope. The driving clock is electrically con­ trolled. A disc driven by a sidereal clock situated on the north side of the pier reads right ascensions directly. The telescope 16 SWARTHMOKE COLLEGE BULLETIN is provided with the usual oculars, helioscope, position micro­ meter, double-slide plateholder, and three ray filters. There is also a photographic telescope o f nine inches aper­ ture and forty-five inches focal length, mounted after the de­ sign of the Bruce telescope at Yerkes Observatory. The instru­ 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 of 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 of Parrish Hall, is especially equipped for the purposes o f instruction. It contains a refract­ ing telescope of 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 of three inches aperture, a mean time and a sidereal clock and a chronograph. Mounted in a room adjoining the transit room is a Milne seismograph, presented by Joseph Wharton, which records photographically all vibrations of the crust of the earth. The latest addition to this observatory building contains the photographic telescope referred to above. The Library Building. On the lower east campus, near the Benjamin West House, stands the Library, a fine specimen of the English Scholastic Gothic style. The Library was built and furnished through a gift to the College from Mr. Andrew Carnegie and is maintained from the income on a sum sub­ scribed by several friends o f 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, o f New York. In the second story of the entrance tower, is a large fireproof apartment, which contains the Friends’ S W ARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN 17 Historical Library; in the third story, are placed the Wes minster chimes of four bells and the Seth Thomas Clock pres­ ented to the College in June, 1910, by M orns L.

A trophy room and running track are on the second floor. In the basement are lockers, shower baths, a dressing room for visiting teams, and handball courts. Somerville Hall, erected in 1893 through the efforts o f the 18 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN Somerville Literary Society, is used as a gymnasium for the women. It is furnished with apparatus adapted to the Swedish system o f gymnastics. In the basement are dressing rooms, showeis, and lockers for the use o f day students who take work in the department of Physical Education. There are two Swimming Pools in separate stone buildings, one fo r 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 of the Pennsylvania Railroad tracks.

A., erected in 1724), the President’s House, the Dean’s House, Cun­ ningham House (the residence o f the Professor o f Astronomy and Mathematics), residences for members of the Faculty, a laundry building, a lodging house for the domestic servants, and farm buildings. The Cloisters, a new development, is the group o f 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, of native stone, are to be connected by cloisters. Swarthmore Field and Alumni Field provide facilities for outdoor athletics of the men. Swarthmore Field comprises the football and lacross 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 of 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 o f 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 dents, alumnas, and friends of the College as a tribute to the late SWAKTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN 19 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; 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 of the Dean o f Women and her assistants, who aim to make it a means o f social culture. RELIGIOUS L IF E The daily sessions of the College include a gathering of students and instructors for the reading o f the Bible, or for some other suitable exercise, preceded and followed by a period of silence. Students under twenty-one years o f age are expected to attend either Friends’ Meeting, held every First-day morning in the Meeting House, or, at the request of their parents, the church in the borough 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 of religious subjects. STU D EN TS’ SO CIETIES The Cercle français holds frequent meetings and is open to all students in the French Department after the middle of their first year. Its object is to afford increased opportunities for acquiring a practical knowledge of the French language. The Scientific Society is an organization of the students and faculty interested in the newer scientific development. It meets on the first Tuesday o f each month.

Formal and informal receptions and other social functions are given with the object o f 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 o f the College may incur any finan­ cial obligation, or make any contract involving a monetary con­ sideration, without first obtaining' the sanction of the President of 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 of the College. I f he desires to grant them permission to effect such an organization, he will advise the student representatives of 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 fa cu 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 of the matters of permanent importance in the progress of the College. H O N O RARY SCH O LARSH IP SO CIETIES The Swarthmore chapter of 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 of 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 of the 22 SWAKTHMORE 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 o f publication. L IB R A R IE S AND READ IN G ROOMS The libraries of the College collectively contain about sixty thousand volumes.

T he P hcebe A nne T horne F und provides several scholar­ ships for students needing pecuniary assistance whose previous work has demonstrated their earnestness and their ability. This gift includes a clause o f preference to those students who are members o f the New York Monthly Meeting of Friends. These scholarships are awarded by the College under the regulations fixed by the Board. Application should be made to the Presi­ dent o f the College. 13. The Western Swarthmore Club offers every four years in conjunction with the College one competitive scholarship of $700 for each of the four years. The scholarship is open for competi­ tion to all high and preparatory school graduates west of the Allegheny Mountains. Students interested are requested to apply to the President o f the Club. 14. The M ary Coates P reston S cholarship F und . A sum of money has been left by will of Elizabeth Coates to Josephine Beistle, of Swarthmore, as trustee, the annual interest of which Will be about $300. This amount is given by the trustee as a scholarship to a young woman student in Swarthmore College, preferably to a relative o f the donor. 15. The W om an’s Medical College o f Pennsylvania offers a scholarship of $175, full tuition, to a young woman graduate of Swarthmore College. This amount is to be given annually during the four years of medical work, thus having a total value of $700 to the student receiving the scholarship. 16. The Ivy Medal is placed in the hands of the faculty by a friend of the College, to be awarded on Commencement Day to SWARTHMOKE COLLEGE BULLETIN a male member of the graduating class. 33 The regulations govern­ ing the award are as follows: m The idea behind the Ivy Medal is in general the Rhodes Scholarship qualifications, including (a ) qualities of manhood force o f character, an leadership; (b ) literary and scholastic ability and attainments. This 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 (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 of the College, to be awarded on Commencement Day to a young woman member o f the graduating class for loyalty, scholarship, and service. 18. The J onathan K. T aylor S cholarship, in accordance with the donor’s will, is awarded by the Board of Trustees of the Baltimore Monthly Meeting o f Friends. This scholarship is first open to descendants o f the late Jonathan K. Taylor. Then, while preference is to be given to members of the Baltimore Yearly Meeting o f 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. It is given for the academic year 1924-25 to the best young man candidate as judged by a committee of the faculty appointed by the Presi­ dent of the College for the purpose. The award will be made and the following points determined by the credentials of the secondary school from which the successful candidate is a graduate. First. Qualities of 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. This scholarship is founded in honor o f T. H. Dudley Perkins, Swarthmore, 1906, who died in the service of his country on Tenth Month 20th, 1918. The qualifications re­ quired o f the holder of this scholarship are such as Dudley Per­ kins possessed in a marked degree. The donors o f this scholar­ ship are his wife, Alice Sullivan Perkins, ’04; his sister, Marion Perkins Jessup, ’94; and his brother, E. Russell Perkins, ’l l . 20. The Sarah K aighn Cooper S cholarship, founded by Sallie K. Johnson in memory o f her grandparents, Sarah Kaighn and Sarah Cooper, is awarded by the faculty to the member o f the Junior Class who shall have, since entering College, the best record for scholarship, character, and influence. The value of this scholarship for the year 1924-25 is $250. 21. The duP ont S cholarship. The E. I. duPont de Nemours & Company, of Wilmington, Del., offers two annual scholarships of $350 for the purpose o f encouraging advanced students to continue the study of chemistry. The scholarships are to be granted to Senior or graduate students who make chemistry or chemical engineering their m ajor subject. 22. S warthmore College Open S cholarships. Swarthmore College in 1922 established experimentally five annual open com­ petitive scholarships for men, not confined to any particular school, locality, subject o f study, or religious denomination. These scholarships are based upon the general plan o f the Rhodes Scholarships and are given to candidates who show greatest promise in : (1) Qualities of manhood, force o f character and leadership. (2) Literary and scholastic ability and attainments. (3) Physical vigor, as shown by interest in outdoor sports or in other ways. The regulations under which these scholarships will be awarded in 1925 are as follows: The stipend o f a Swarthmore College Open Scholarship will be five hundred dollars ($500) a year, which will cover the greater part of a man’s college expenses. SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN 35 Each scholarship is tenable for four consecutive years, subject to the maintenance of a high standing in the college. A candidate to be eligible must: (а) Be between the ages of 16 and 21 on September 1st of the year for which he is elected.

SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN These requirements may be met (1) B y passing examinations of the College Entrance E x­ amination Board or (2) B y satisfactory certificates from accredited schools. The basis for admission is the twofold one of scholarship and personal qualities. The procedure fo r determining these is (1) To inspect the examination record or the school record o f the applicant to ascertain scholastic qualifications and (2) To interview the applicant and consider recommenda­ tions of persons acquainted with the applicant to judge as to personal qualities. E xaminations , J une 15-20, 1925 College E ntrance E xamination B oard The application for examination should be addressed to the College Entrance Examination Board, 431 West 117th Street, New York, N. Y . It should be made upon a blank form to be obtained from the Secretary o f the College Entrance Examination Board. I f the application be received sufficiently early the examina­ tion fee will be $9.00 for candidates examined in the United States and Canada and $20.00 for candidates examined else­ where. 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 of 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 of the first day o f the examinations, that is, on or before May 4, 1925. 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 o f the first day o f the examinations, that is, on or before May 18, 1925. Applications and fees o f 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 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN 39 in advance o f the first day of the examinations, that is, on or before Monday, May 25, 1925. When the 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 of 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 the payment of an addi­ tional fee. A list of the places at which examinations are to be held in June, 1925 will be published about March 1. Requests that the examinations be held at particular points, to receive proper con­ sideration, should be transmitted to the Secretary of the College Entrance Examination Board not later than February 1. The designation o f the center to which the candidate will go for examination is regarded as an indispensable part of the candi­ date’s application for examination. Detailed definitions o f the requirements in all examination subjects are given in a circular of information published annu­ ally by the College Entrance Examination Board. The edition published December 1, 1923 was designated as Document 111. A new edition which will be designated as Document No. 114 will appear December 1, 1924. Upon request a single copy of 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 dmission by Certificate. Graduates of Friends’ Schools and of high schools and preparatory schools approved by the faculty and Instruction Committee may be admitted to the Col­ lege on certificate of the principal. The faculty admits these students on trial, and reserves the right to change their classifi­ cation or to decline to continue their connection with the College if they find them to be insufficiently prepared. The privilege of 40 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN certificating students may be withdrawn from any school whose pupils are found to he deficient. Certificates issued by the College Entrance Examination Board will he accepted in place of examinations on the subjects therein certified to as passed. See page 38 for information as to the examination held by this Board. Additional informa­ tion, i f needed, may he obtained by addressing The Secretary o f the College Entrance Examination Board, 431 West 117th Street, New York, N. Y . Graduation from an acceptable four years’ high school course or its equivalent is required for admission to the Freshman class on certificate. D E FIN ITIO N OF ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS I t is to be carefully noted that the subjects included among the entrance requirements are rated as strictly as possible ac­ cording to the time that should have been devoted to prepara­ tory work in each. In regard to a unit of admission requirements, the faculty of Swarthmore College has approved the following statement, which has been adopted by the National Conference Committee on Standards o f Colleges and Secondary Schools, the College En­ trance Examination Board, and the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching: A unit represents a year’s study in any subject in a secondary school, constituting approximately a quarter o f a full year’s work. This statement is designed to afford a standard o f measure­ ment for the work done in secondary schools. It takes the fouryear high school course as a basis, and assumes that the length o f the school year is from thirty-six to forty weeks, that a period is from forty to sixty minutes in length, and that the study is pursued for four or five periods a week. B y this 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 SWARTHMOKE COLLEGE BULLETIN 41 ganized on any other than a four-year basis can, nevertheless, estimate their work in terms o f this unit. The total number o f 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 M odem 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 of requirements for ad­ mission. Detailed definitions o f the requirements in all subjects listed under the general statement on page 37, including lists of ex­ periments in the natural sciences are given in a special cir­ cular o f information published annually by the College Entrance Examination Board. The edition published December 1, 1924, was designated as Document No. 114. Copies o f 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 gen­ eral a charge o f twenty cents, which may be remitted in postage stamps, will he made. LIM ITA TIO N OF ENROLLMENT The size of the Freshman class each year is determined by the resolution of 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 of the College, the members o f the Freshman class are chosen in the order o f merit. In the deter­ mination o f scholarship, breadth o f reading and interest in in­ tellectual matters are considered as well as school grades. As to character, the qualities sought are the simplicity, moral earnestness and idealism which have been traditionally associ­ ated with the Society o f Friends and with Swarthmore College. 42 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN 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 th standards set by the College for admission. When the merits o f two candidates are approximately equal, it is considered fair that preference should he 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 he 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 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 February 1, and the names o f the men applicants as soon as possible after May 1, o f the year of admission. A D V A N C E D 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 o f hon­ orable dismissal. In general, students are not admitted to ad­ vanced standing later than the beginning of the Junior year. SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN 43 REQUIREM ENTS FO R GRADUATION THE GENERAL UNDERGRADUATE COURSE OF STUDY The degree o f Bachelor of Arts is conferred upon those who complete the undergraduate course as outlined below. This course is based upon uniform requirements for admission, and upon certain studies which are prescribed for all matriculates. In addition to securing this fundamental uniformity, it provides for the varied needs and capacities o f individuals by permitting a wide range o f election on the part of the student or his ad­ viser; and it seeks, also, to provide a thorough training, extend­ ing over three or four years, in some one department o f study. The requirement of a thesis from a candidate for the Bachelor’s degree is left to the option of the head o f the department in which the m ajor is taken. Candidates for graduation in the Department of Liberal Arts are required to complete one hundred and twenty-four ‘ |hours ’ ’ in addition to the prescribed work in physical education. For the number of hours required for graduation in the Departments of Engineering and in the Department o f Chemistry, see the courses o f study outlined under the various departments. The foregoing are minimum requirements. Students may he re quired to complete additional “ hours” fo r graduation as penal­ ties for absences from collection or from class room, laboratory, or other college exercises. A n “ hour” signifies one recitation or lecture (or its equivalent) a week throughout one college semes­ ter. A recitation or lecture is regularly fifty-five minutes long, and the preparation o f the student is estimated at an average of two hours for each class exercise. In the Departments of Engineering, Biology, and Chemistry a laboratory period is three hours in length. In other departments, where additional work is required outside o f the laboratory, the laboratory period is two hours in length. It is designed to make the laboratory exercise, as nearly as possible, equivalent in its demands to the hours defined above. The prescribed number of hours for students majoring in 44 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN the Departments of Liberal Arts is seventeen for each semester of 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 fo r each semester. Quality Points.^-An 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 follow s: 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, hut 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 pplied Science,, is one hundred and twenty-four. This is a requirement for A rts students o f an average grade of C. In other words, Arts students are required for graduation to pres­ ent one hundred and twenty-four hours o f 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. E xtra or Less Hours.— Students are not allowed to carry more nor less than the prescribed amount of 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 o f one hour more or less than the prescribed number o f hours may be allowed by the course adviser. In such cases the endorsement o f the course adviser must be secured in writing on the 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 SWARTHMOBE COLLEGE BULLETIN 45 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 of the prescribed number. For students entering from other schools or colleges these grades shall be determined from their entrance certificates. No application of a student to enroll for more or less than the perscribed num­ ber of hours shall be considered by the committee unless accom­ panied by the written endorsement of the course adviser. I. Prescribed Studies.— These studies must be taken by all students who are candidates for graduation, unless for special reasons permission to substitute some other work is obtained from the proper faculty committee. The whole 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 of 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 o f 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 Arte. Group 4. Biology, Chemistry, Physics.— Six hours, to be taken in any one o f the three departments, and to include at least one credit-hour of laboratory work throughout a year. Group 5. Mathematics, Astronomy.— Six hours, to be taken in either one o f the two studies. Group 6. Physical Education.— F or the prescribed amount of work in this department, see the statements under the Depart­ ment of Physical Education. Students who fail in the required courses o f the freshman year shall enroll in these courses during the sophomore year. * Students in the Departments of Jhe applied sciences are required to take nine hours in the Departments mentioned. 46 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN 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. All prescribed studies must be completed or in actual process of completion at the beginning o f the senior year except in cases where such prescribed work is not offered until the second semes­ ter o f 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 of 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 o f Analytic Geometry. Those who do not show a sufficient knowledge of 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 of the second year. In the department thus chosen the student must complete eighteen hours as a minimum (the pre­ scribed work done in the m ajor study to be included in this minimum), and the professor in charge may, at his option, de­ termine the work o f thirty-six hours, provided six hours shall not be in his own department. I f the major study is one of the languages, at least six hours o f the prescribed work must be taken in another language. No matter how much credit may have been given on entrance, no student is allowed to graduate who has not been enrolled as a student of Swarthmore College at least one year and who has not had in the College at least one year’s work in his major. SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN 47 I f the major study is changed from any branch of Engineer­ ing to a department in Arts, the number o f credit hours then on record will be adjusted to the basis of 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. HONOES COUESES 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 *The theory underlying this honors work was outlined by President Aydelotte in his inaugural address at Swarthmore College on October 22, 1921, in the follow­ ing words: “ Perhaps the most fundamentally wasteful feature o f our educational institutions is the lack of a higher standard of intellectual attainment. W e are educating more students up to a fair 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 waste. “ The method of doing it seems clear: to give to those students who are really inter­ ested in the intellectual life harder and more independent work than could profitably be given to those whose devotion to matters o f the intellect is less keen, to demand of the former in the course o f their four years’ work, a standard of attainment for the A.B. degree distinctly higher than we require o f them at present and comparable, perhaps, with that which is now reached for the A.M. . ‘‘* d o ? ot believe that we should deny to the average, or below average, student the benefit of_ a college education. He needs this training, and we need his humanizing presence in the colleges, bnt we should not allow him to hold back his more brilliant 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. We could allow them to specialize more because their own alertness of mind would of itself be sufficient to widen their intellectual range and give tStr hat acquaintance with other studies necessary for a liberal point of view. We could give these better students greater independence in their work, avoiding the spoon-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 himself for these testa through his own reading and through the instruction offered by the college.” 48 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN the status of 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 of knowledge over which they are examined at the end of their two years’ work. Their instruction is mainly individual, and a large part o f 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 of the Chairman o f 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 of 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 OF ENGLISH LITERATURE The Honors course in the Division o f English Literature is conducted jointly by the Departments of 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 thought SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN 49 from the Fourteenth Century to the Nineteenth, with its neces­ sary background o f social and political history. The main part of the work is comprised in the study of six topics outlined below. Honors students are left to prepare for themselves those portions of English History and Literature not covered by the special topics. I. English Literature of the periods of Chaucer, Shakespeare, and Milton. II. The Social and Political History of England from the Black Death to the Restoration of Charles II. III. The Transition in England from Mediaeval to Modern Thought during the Renaissance and the Reformation.. IY . E nglish Literature from the French Revolution to the End of the Nineteenth Century. V. History of England from the French Revolution to the end of the Nineteenth Century. V I. Philosophy and Science in the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries. The set books required of all students are announced in a list published two years in advance and may be changed after each two-year period. DIVISION OF THE SOCIAL SCIENCES The Honors course in the Division o f the Social Sciences is conducted jointly by the Department of Political Science, Eco­ nomics, History, Education, Anthropology, and Philosophy. The Committee in charge consists of Dr. R. C.

DIVISION OP MATHEMATICS, ASTRONOMY, AND PHYSICS The Honors work in the Division of Mathematics, Astronomy, and Physics is conducted jointly by these departments o f the College. The Committee in charge consists o f Dr. Miller, Mathe­ matics and Astronomy, Chairman; Dr. Marriott, Mathematics and Astronom y; and Dr. Wright, Physics. The course presumes a grounding in preparatory and cultural subjects. A s 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 of Equations, Theory of Determinants and their A ppli­ cation, Infinite Series and Infinite Products, Introduction to the Theory of 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 read in addition the Theory and Practise of Determining Stellar Parallax, or Photometry, or Theory o f Orbits. DIVISION OP FRENCH The work of students reading for honors in French is directed by Professors Bronk and Bagley. This work comprises: (a) A practical knowledge o f 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 SWAKTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN 51 by following in cursu thirty-six hours of class-room work given here at the College. (b) Familiarity with the history o f 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 OF THE CLASSICS The work o f students reading for Classical Honors is directed by the Professors o f 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 o f the follow­ ing programs according to whether they elect Greek or Latin as a major 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 Composition and unseen Translation, Roman Satire, Roman Epistolary and Biographical Literature. Two elective studies from the following : Greek orators and his­ torians, Greek Comedy, Greek Lyric, Greek and Roman Archæology. (b) For Classical Honors with Latin as major. Seven prescribed studies as follows : Greek and Roman History, Roman Epic, Roman Satire, Roman orators and historians, Latin 52 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN Prose Composition and unseen Translation, Greek Tragic Drama, Greek Philosophy. Two elective studies from the follow ing: Roman Epistolary and Biographical Literature, Roman Novel, Roman Lyric, Greek and Roman Archaeology. FOREIGN LANGUAGE REQU IREM EN TS 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 i t : A reading knowledge o f two of the following languages, at least one o f which must be chosen from the first lis t: List L French, German, Spanish, Italian. List II. Latin, Greek. Honors students are urged to complete these language require­ ments at the end of 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 o f the first semester o f their Senior year. However, for Seniors during the year 192425 the requirement shall be one language examination before the end o f the first semester and the second examination at least three weeks before the final oral examination. 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 o f lan­ guages as provided in the regulations dealing with that subject. Only reasons of a grave character justify a student in giving up honors work, or the faculty of the group in dropping a stu­ dent, prior to the end o f the two year period. Whenever neces­ sary such action should be decided upon immediately prior to the end of a semester. In all such cases the student involved shall take an examination in each o f the subjects covered during SWÀRTHMOKE COLLEGE BULLETIN 53 his continuance in honors work, and be given hours o f credit equivalent to the total number of 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 o f the same group.

The professor in charge of the major subject will serve as course adviser for each student who has chosen a m ajor subject. The President will designate the course adviser for students who have not chosen their major subjects. E X T R A W O R K DONE OUTSIDE OF CLASSES No student will be granted credit for work in excess of that regularly listed on the Enrollment Card unless permission to do so is granted by the Committee on Prescribed and Extra W ork at the written request of the course adviser. A ll students ex­ cept those desiring credit for intercollegiate debating must gain permission of the Committee on Prescribed and Extra Work before the work is entered upon. SUMMER SCHOOL W O RK Students desiring to transfer credit in a prescribed subject from a University Summer School are required to secure the endorsement of the head of the department concerned before entering upon the work. REM O VAL OF CONDITIONS Members o f the graduating class must make up all outstanding conditions and deficiencies by the end of the first semester of the senior year, and no student whose record is not then clear shall be considered a candidate for graduation in that year. A ll conditions must be made up in the semester immediately following that in which the work reported as conditioned was done, and as early in the semester as possible; except that by special permission of 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 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN 57 make up part or all of the class or laboratory work involved at the time the course is repeated. A ny condition not made up within a year from the time it is imposed shall thereafter have the effect upon the records o f an “ E ,” i. e., complete failure, which cannot he made up. SYSTEM OF GRADES Reports of students’ work are received at the Dean’s office four times a year; at the end of each semester and at each mid­ semester. A ll grades are mailed to parents at the end of each semester, and are also given out to students at each mid-semester and at the end o f the first semester. The following system of marking is used by instructors: A (excellent, 100-90 per ce n t.); B (good, 89-80 per ce n t.); C (fair, 79-70 per ce n t.); D (poor, 69-60 per cent.) ; E (fa ile d ); W (w ithdraw n); Cond. (Conditioned). The mark “ conditioned” shall be reported for only two rea­ sons: (1) for unsatisfactory work in a semester course in which the condition may be removed by doing satisfactory work either in another semester course which involves the subject-matter of the first course or in the second semester of a year’s course; (2) when the work of a course is complete; that is, when the work done in the course is satisfactory with the exception o f a small, definite part of i t ; for example, the writing of a theme, the read­ ing of 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. ABSEN CES FROM E X A M IN ATIO N Any student who is absent from an examination, announce­ ment of which was made in advance of the date of the examina­ tion, shall be given an examination at another than the scheduled 58 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN hour only after presentation by the student to the instructor in charge of the course (1) of 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 of the superintendent fo r a fee o f $2. This fee shall be remitted only in the case of 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 of 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 ojficio, and three other fac­ ulty members appointed annually by the President of the Col­ lege, who shall designate the Chairman o f the Committee from among its members. In dealing with all student absences the Committee on A b­ sences shall classify them either (a) as allowable absences, or (b) as disallowed absences. Allowable absences are absences which in the opinion o f the Committee on Absences are incurred for sufficient cause. B y sufficient cause is meant any grounds for absence which would justify failure to keep a stated business appointment; provided, however, that no absence shall be con­ sidered allowable by the Committee on Absences unless a writ­ ten explanation o f it is made by the student incurring it on a form provided for this purpose at the Dean’s office. Such ex­ planation must be made by the student in advance of the absence, when possible. Written explanations of all absences must be filed at the Dean’s office within three college days after the absence, or such absences will be disallowed automatically. A ll absences not coming under the definition o f allowable ab­ sences shall be considered disallowed absences subject to dis­ cipline. In the exercise of their powers of discipline over absences SWARTHMORE college b u l l e t in 59 of the latter character the Committee on Absences may warn students, parents or guardians; may place students on probation and fix the terms of said probation; and may require students to make hours of credit for graduation in addition to the require­ ments as stated in the Catalogue; provided that, in the case of students who reach the end of the first semester of their senior year with a penalty o f less than one full hour of credit imposed under this section, said penalty may be removed by the Com­ mittee on Absences. For the year 1924-25 students will be penalized one-half credit hour for each disallowed absence after the fifth. For each disallowed absence on days beginning or ending all vacations and holidays, including the summer vacation, students shall be required to make one half hour credit for graduation in addition to the requirements as stated in the Catalogue. A b­ sences penalized under this section cannot be subject to discipline provided under other sections of these rules. Students shall have the right to a hearing before the Commit­ tee on Absences in cases involving the imposition o f credit penal­ ties by the Committee, and the right to petition the faculty in cases where, after such hearing has been given, they are dissatis­ fied with the decision o f the Committee. In all questions involv­ ing the number of a student’s absences the reports of Instructors shall be considered authoritative. EXCLUSION FROM 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. 60 SWAKTHMOKE COLLEGE BULLETIN D EGREES BACHELOR OP ARTS The degree of Bachelor of Arts is conferred upon students who have complied with the requirements for graduation as stated on pages 43 to 59.

Bagley is Assistant Professor, Señorita Mercedes C. Iribas is Instructor in Spanish, Madame Blanche Poulleau Crawford is Instructor in French, and Miss Margaret Pitkin is Student Assistant. The courses of study in French are designed to afford a certain degree of literary culture, as well as to impart thorough train­ ing in the grammar and linguistics of the language. Until the end of the second year the authors studied are all selected from those o f modern times and the greatest attention is given to colloquial French. The student is then ready to be brought into contact with the more artificial (rhetorical) forms o f expression constantly occurring in the higher grades o f literature. The fact that French is a living tongue is kept ever in view. F or this reason but little English is used in the classroom. Free com­ position, dictation, memorizing, and conversation are required throughout the courses. Much attention is given to pronunci­ ation, practical phonetics being taught in all courses, and the relations o f modem French to classical, popular, and low Latin are brought often before the students. The courses in Spanish are arranged with a view to giving, as far as possible, a practical knowledge o f this language, and also some idea o f the modem literature o f Spain. From eleven to fourteen courses in French are offered each year. The class in Course 21 is divided into two sections, the class in Course 22 into five, the class in Course 23 into two. Students who are prepared in Elementary French, as defined by the College Entrance Examination Board, enter Course 22; those who are prepared in Intermediate French enter a specially arranged section o f this same course; those who are prepared in Advanced French, as defined by the College Entrance Exam­ ination Board, enter Course 23. Students who elect French as a m ajor study are required to complete the work of five full years, or thirty “ hours,” and to take Course 34. 70 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN The first semester’s work in Elementary French and Elemen­ tary Spanish will not be accepted toward a degree unless followed by the work of the second semester in the same language.

SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN 73 German Language and Literature The instruction in this department is under the direction of Professor Clara Price Newport, t Mr. H. W. Nordmeyer is A ct­ ing Assistant Professor. The elementary courses o f study in this department are de­ signed primarily to equip the student with a working knowl­ edge o f the German language as a key to the treasures o f Ger­ man science, philosophy, and literature, and the more advanced courses are intended to impart a knowledge of the development of German literature and to foster appreciation o f its master­ pieces. In the classroom, translation into English is discontinued as soon as possible and expressive reading of the German text is substituted, and German is made the classroom language as early as possible. The idiomatic sentence and modern colloquial lan­ guage form the basis o f the work in composition. Reading and translation at sight are cultivated. The attainment o f a correct literary understanding and of genuine appreciation of some of the best things in German literature is regarded as the highest aim. Other texts may at times be substituted for some of those indicated. The first semester’s work in Courses 41, 42, 43, and 49 will not be accepted toward a degree unless followed by the work of the second semester. Students who desire it are given an opportunity to carry on, under direction, correspondence with students in Germany.

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 o f 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 of the world are considered not only because of their intrinsic importance, but also for the valuable sug­ gestions they may yield for 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 of 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 fo r 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.

Urdahl. Mr. Claude C. Smith and Mr. William M. Blaisdell are instructors. 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 o f view the study of 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 o f principles which lie at the basis o f commercial life; and that in the systematic study o f the science o f the law all will acquire not merely an understanding o f legal rules, but also an appreciation of 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. A knowledge of general biological theory, of psychology, and of philosophy would add greatly to the value of work done in this department. No; credit will be given in courses which run throughout the year, unless the work o f the entire year is taken. The advanced courses will be changed from year to year, thus enabling students to take more work in the department than is here scheduled. SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN 111.

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 of 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 o f both groups by furnishing a general survey o f the field. The remaining courses are designed mainly for those who plan a teaching career, but they are open to mature students interested in education, regardless of whether they expect to teach or not. The courses are arranged to meet the new (1922) require­ ments of the Pennsylvania Provisional College Certificate, which are representative of 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 Psychology (141), 3 hours; Labora­ tory Teaching (146), 6 hours. The six hours o f electives may be taken from any other education courses offered in Swarthmore College, including teachers’ courses given by other departments. It is expected that students will take general psychology (139), before educational psychology (140). Students in honors courses planning 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 be arranged. The College has a Teachers ’ Appointment Committee, of which Professor Ryan is chairman. The Committee assists graduates of the College in securing teaching positions, and its services are available for earlier graduates o f the College as well as for mem­ bers of the graduating class.

The location o f the College near Philadelphia, and the im­ portant manufacturing centers in its vicinity, enables students to visit a great variety o f industrial and engineering works. The success o f an engineer has come more and more to depend upon his ability to meet men o f education and culture on equal terms; hence, courses in liberal arts are carried throughout the four years, in the belief that they will ultimately benefit the students. The technical courses of study are arranged and con­ ducted with the purpose of imparting preparation for immedi­ ate usefulness in the office, drafting room or field, as well as to give a sound foundation for more advanced work. Undergrad­ uates are encouraged to engage in engineering work during the summer vacation. 102 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN Engineering Equipment The equipment for surveying is complete and up to date, including compasses, transits, solar attachments, dumpy and wye levels.

SHOP WORK 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 o f a nature to be approved by the faculty of 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 SWAKTHMOKE COLLEGE BULLETIN 105 plan to the faculty for approval prior to doing the work, and shall obtain from a responsible official of the company, in whose factory they have been employed, a certificate of satisfactory work done, in such detail as may be required by the faculty. The amount o f time devoted to shop work in the factory shall be at least twice that required in the College shop, and a greater amount o f 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 o f the work in College in wrhich his outside experience is considered deficient. The work in the College shop will be conducted during a period o f four weeks immediately preceding or following the College year. The required work will be conducted for a period of four weeks o f 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 W hitney wet tool grinder, and a 16 in. by 8 ft. Champion engine lathe of rugged design for the demonstration of 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 106 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN the third floor of Beardsley Hall. A ll the woodworking ma­ chinery is o f the latest design, and each unit has a direct motor drive and is equipped with approved safety devices.

This equipment, on the ground floor of the building, consists o f 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. Fees. A fee of ten dollars for each semester is charged for each course in surveying, mechanical laboratory, electrical lab­ oratory or illumination, and a fee of twenty dollars for the four-week summer course in shop work, and proportionate charge for shorter periods of required work. The M ajor in Engineering Four courses are offered in Engineering, all of which are designed to train men in the fundamental principles and to give as great an amount as possible of practical engineering work. To those who desire to specialize along a particular branch, there are offered the three courses leading to a degree of A. B. in Electrical, Civil or Mechanical Engineering. To meet the requirements o f students who anticipate entering any line o f business in which engineering training will be of SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN 107 value, but who do not care to specialize, a General Engineering course is offered. The tremendous industrial development of the country has greatly broadened the field for men who have a knowledge of the fundamentals of engineering, creating a demand for managers and executives who combine business and financial ability with engineering knowledge. A total of 148 credit hours is required for graduation in Civil, Mechanical or Electrical Engineering, and 140 credit hours in General Engineering. Of the nineteen hours of electives in the general course, at least eight must be in engineering. H onors A few exceptional students will be given the opportunity to read for honors during their Senior year in the Division of Engineering. A course o f reading and study will be assigned in this division along the lines o f Civil, Mechanical, Electrical or Administrative Engineering. The first three partake o f the nature of more extended investigation along the lines of Civil, Mechanical or Electrical Engineering. Reading for honors in Administrative Engineering will entail a wider study than usual in the work of the Honors Division o f Social Science.

Miller. Dr. Ross W . Marriott is Associate Professor. Mr. John H. Pitman and Mr. James A. Nyswander are Assistant Professors, and Mr. Dean B. McLaughlin is In­ structor. Miss Marjorie Onderdonk is Research Assistant. Mr. Walter A. Matos is Voluntary Observer. Mr. Murat Louis Johnson is Non-Resident Lecturer in Mathematics of Insurance. The undergraduate courses in Mathematics are designed to meet the wants o f students desiring later to do graduate work; to teach mathematics in the preparatory schools; to pursue engineering or other technical courses; to enter professions requiring a knowledge of mathematics, such as actuarial work, statistical work and expert accounting. The College requirement of six hours of 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 of these three alternatives is recommended. Students majoring in Mathematics will take the first year Courses 252 and 253. The graduate courses are offered in Astronomy. These are flexible, designed to meet the need of 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 of the instrumental equipment for Astronomy may he found on pages 15 and 16. The teaching staff is at present devoting as much time as is consistent with their teach­ ing duties to studies in stellar parallax with the 24-inch tele­ scope, to photography with the 9-inch doublet, and to the study o f eclipses o f the sun. Students interested in either o f these problems may work with advantage in conjunction with one of the professors. Results o f 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 SWARTHHORE COLLEGE BULLETIN 119 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 o f a year, many celestial objects of 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) of the leading English, German and French periodi­ cals. This library receives the publications of many o f the lead­ ing observatories in exchange for the publications of the Ob­ servatory. COURSES IN M A TH E M A T IC S 251. Solid Geometry.

SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN 125 Physical Education The Physical Education of the College is under the direction of E. LeRoy Mercer, M.D., Assistant Professor of Physical Educa­ tion. He is assisted in the courses for men by Mr. Frank Fitts, and for women by Miss Elizabeth Panning, Miss E. W inifred Chapman and Dr. Jeanette Sherman. The aim of the department o f Physical Education is to pro­ mote the general physical well being of the students, and to assist them to gain the hygienic, corrective, and educative effect of rightly regulated exercise. In order that this object may be better attained, and to assist the director in gaining a definite knowledge of the strength and weakness of the individual, a careful physical examination and medical inspection (eye, nose, and throat) is required, which serves as a basis for the work. All 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 of the State of 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. , REQUIREMENTS FOR MEN Two hours a week of regular prescribed work are required of all men in the first and second year classes. Intercollegiate contests in various athletic and aquatic sports are conducted by the Athletic Association, but under the super­ vision of the Athletic Committee and the Director o f Physical Education, who may at any time forbid any man entering à con­ test whose physical condition is not satisfactory. 126 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN COURSES FOR MEN 1.
