J. 22 Introduction to Swarthmore College T h e College Community Swarthmore College, founded in 1 8 6 4 by members of the Religious Society of Friends, is a small co-educational college situated twelve miles southwest of Philadelphia. In accordance with the traditions of its Quaker background, Swarthmore students are expected to prepare themselves for full, well-rounded lives as individuals and as responsible citizens through exacting'intellectual study supplemented by a varied program of sports and extra-curricular activities. Swarthmore is a residential college with an enrollment, in normal years, of seven hundred and fifty students, equally divided between men and women. Its students are drawn from a wide variety of back­ grounds. (See table of geographical distribution o f students, page 1 2 5 .) The campus, a tract of about 2 5 0 rolling acres in Delaware County, contains the dormitories and class room buildings. In addition, a large number of faculty houses are within campus boundaries, making it possible for students to have valuable social contacts with their pro­ fessors outside the class room. The borough of Swarthmore is a small residential suburb within half an hour’s commuting distance of Philadelphia on the W est Chester Branch of the Pennsylvania Railroad. Situated on U.S. Highway N o. 1 about twelve miles southwest o f Philadelphia, Swarthmore is easily accessible by car.* Swarthmore students are therefore able to combine the advantages o f a semi-rural setting with the opportunities offered by Philadelphia. Especially valuable is the cooperation possible with three other nearby institutions, Bryn Mawr and Haverford Colleges and the University of Pennsylvania. T h e Educational Program Swarthmore’s educational program is based on the philosophy that self-discovery and self-development are more valuable than the simple demonstrative method o f teaching. Therefore, whenever it is possible, students are encouraged to make their own analyses, based on original source material or on laboratory experiments. Believing also that a liberal education is based on knowledge in many areas of human experience, the college requires that freshmen and sophomores take a wide variety o f courses. This plan allows them to test their ability in subjects they have already studied and to * To reach the college, motorists should turn off Route 1 to Pennsylvania State Highway 320 in the direction of Chester and continife south along Chester Road about half a mile until reaching College Avtexfiifc Theife a right dim is made to the college campus. 23 explore new fields. By the end of their sophomore year," students are expected to make two decisions: first, what their field of concentration will be for the last two years; and secondly, whether they prefer to take "honors work” or to continue their study in regular courses. "H onors work” (see pages 52 to 5 5 ) is a method o f study open to juniors and seniors who have shown independence and responsibility in their academic work. They are freed from classroom routine and instead, meet with their instructors in small weekly seminar groups for discussion and evaluation of their work. Since a student pursues only one major and one related minor subject during a semester, this system facilitates greater concentration and greater independence than is possible under the usual academic routine. The development o f the "honors” or seminar method was begun under President Aydelotte in 1922, and because of its success, has been widely imitated in other institutions. Post War Adjustments Swarthmore College sought to meet its obligations during the war emergency both by training men and women to fulfill the demands of national service and, at the same time, by continuing to emphasize the permanent values o f a liberal education. W ith the latter end in view, students were urged to carry on, as far as possible, the kind of program in which they would find their fullest personal development, in the confidence that they would thereby become capable of the richest possible contribution to their communities. The immediate need for preparing men and women for national service was met by a variety o f courses, not only in the natural sciences and engineering, but also in the humanities and the social sciences, including a certain number o f courses specially designed to fit the curricula o f the U.S. V -12 Naval U nit which was stationed at the college from July 1943 to June 1946. The termination of the V -12 program coincided with the discharge from war service of large numbers of veterans eligible for college train­ ing under the "G I Bill” and other legislation. In order to make room for former Swarthmore students and other carefully selected veterans, and to continue to accept a normal number o f secondary school gradu­ ates, the college has temporarily expanded its pre-war enrollment by nearly forty per cent. Through the purchase o f the buildings and property of the Mary Lyon School, the college has been able to house a considerably larger number o f students in campus dormitories than was possible in previous years. In this way it is hoped that the com­ munity spirit which has been characteristic o f Swarthmore life can be maintained. 24 Admissions Procedure Applications for admission should be addressed to the Deans of the College: from men, to Dean Everett L. H u n t; from women, to Dean Susan P. Cobbs. General Statement Admission to the Freshman Class is normally based upon the satis­ factory completion of a four-year program preparatory to advanced liberal study. Applicants are selected on the following evidence: 1. Record in secondary school. 2. Recommendation of the school principal or headmaster and of others who know the applicant. 3. Ratings in the Scholastic Aptitude Tests, and in three o f the Scholastic Achievement Tests given by the College Entrance Examination Board. Other ratings will also be considered, and in some cases, special tests may be given by the college. The special tests for veterans are described on pages 27 and 28. * 4. Personal interview with one o f the Deans or ah appointed rep­ resentative. 5. Reading and experience, both in school and out. Applicants should have high rank in school and in aptitude and achievement tests, and should show strong intellectual interests. They should also give evidence o f sturdiness of character, promise o f growth, initiative, seriousness of purpose, and a sense of social responsibility. As future members of the college community, they should represent varied interests, types, and backgrounds. Preparation Applicants are urged to make their choice o f college as early as possible in order to plan the work o f their school years with the assistance of the Committees on Admission. In general, preparation should include: 1. Skills: The following skills are essential to success in college work and should be brought to a high level by study and prac­ tice throughout the preparatory period: 25 a. The use o f the English language with accuracy and effective­ ness in reading, writing, and speaking. b. The use of the principles of arithmetic, algebra, and plane geometry. c. The use o f one, or preferably of two, foreign languages to the point o f reading prose of average difficulty at sight, and of writing and speaking with some ease and proficiency. 2. Subjects: All, or almost all, of the preparatory course should be composed of the subjects listed in the following four groups. Variations of choice and emphasis are acceptable although some work should be taken in each group. H istory and Social Studies: American, English, European, and an­ cient history; political, social, and economic problems o f modern society. Literature and A rt: American, English, and foreign literatures, ancient and modern; music, art, architecture. Natural Science and M athem atics: chemistry, physics, biology, astronomy; algebra, geometry, trigonometry. (A college major in science or engineering presupposes substantial work in algebra, in plane and, if possible, solid geometry, and in trigonometry.) Languages: English, Latin, Greek, German, French, Spanish, other European or Oriental'languages. (Applicants who expect to major in science are strongly advised to include German and, if possible, French in their school programs.) Advanced, Standing For favorable consideration, applicants for advanced standing must have had a good scholastic record in the institution from which they wish to transfer, and must present full credentials for both college and preparatory work and a letter of honorable dismissal. They must also take the Scholastic Aptitude and Achievement Tests required of « freshman entrant, unless they have already taken these tests for ad­ mission to another college. As a general rule, students are not admitted to advanced standing later than the beginning of the sophomore year. Four terms o f study at Swarthmore College constitute the minimum requirement for a degree, two of which must be those of the senior year. 26 Applications and Examinations Applications must be filed in the Office o f the Deans by Febraary 15 for women, by March 15 for men, o f the year the candidate wishes to be admitted. A registration fee o f $ 5 .0 0 , which is not refundable, is required of all applicants. All candidates, except veterans, are required to take certain examinations given by the College Entrance Examination Board: the Scholastic Aptitude Test and three Achievement Tests, one of which must be in English Composition, the other two to be chosen by the candidate. In 1947 the date on which these tests are to be taken will be Saturday, April 12. For further information please write to the College Entrance Examination Board, Box 592, Princeton, N . J. Applicants are normally expected to take the required tests in April of their senior year. Those who wish to take them fo r practice at the end of the junior year are encouraged to do so. Unless their ratings are phenomenally high, however, they should plan to repeat all tests in their senior year, in order to give themselves the advantage of maximum preparation in the keen competition for admission. Veterans are permitted to take either the special aptitude test for veterans of the College Entrance Examination Board or the USA FI Tests of General Educational Development (college le v e l). The former test is given bi-monthly in New York, Philadelphia, and certain other cities. Application blanks for the test may be obtained from the college. It consists of three parts: Verbal and Mathematical Aptitude, and a third section in which the candidate may choose either Spatial Rela­ tions or Physical Science or Social Studies Reading. Men who are planning to major in Engineering are advised to take the Spatial Rela­ tions test, while others should select that section which most nearly corresponds with their proposed field of study. Both this test and the tests of General Educational Development can be given at the College when necessary. N o additional tests are required o f candidates for scholarships. Applicants for the competitive Open Scholarships, however, must write for a special application blank at least two weeks in advance of the date on which applications for admission are due (see above). The Open Scholarships, of which five are offered for men and three for women each year, have a value of $ 5 0 0 per annum for four years; fuller information concerning them will be found on page 32. Notices of the action of the Admissions Committee will be mailed early in May. 27 Policy Toward Veterans 1. Swarthmore welcomes veterans o f the Armed Forces, both men and women, who are qualified to do the work and who are interested in the type o f program and community life for which the college stands. 2. The college offers courses leading toward the B .A . degree in arts and sciences and the B.S. degree in civil, mechanical, and electrical engineering. W e do not contemplate setting up courses outside these fields, but within the established program every effort will be made to adjust courses to individual or group needs. 3. Provision will be made for veterans to follow an accelerated pro­ gram if desired. N o summer term was held at Swarthmore in 1946 but arrangements were made for veterans to attend the summer session in certain other institutions. It is expected that similar opportunities will be offered next summer. 4. Questions o f admission and academic status will be determined on the merits of each individual case. Careful consideration will be given to the previous academic record o f the applicant and to expe­ rience contributing to the intellectual development of the applicant gained in the training programs o f the various Services and under the direction of the Armed Forces Institute. As a general principle, appli­ cants will be accepted at that academic level which will enable them by the time they qualify for degrees to compete on equal terms with those who have proceeded through the normal eight semesters. 5. Various tests will be used to help determine the academic status and best programs for the applicant. All candidates are expected to take either the special aptitude test for veterans o f the College Entrance Examination Board or the Tests of General Educational Development (college level) of the United States Armed Forces Institute. Informa­ tion about these tests may be secured by writing to the college. 6. The college will accept as students married veterans. Both hus­ band and wife, if qualified, will be eligible to take courses for credit. 7. The Servicemen’s Readjustment A ct o f 1 9 4 4 (Public Law 346 as amended) provides for government ■aid to the veteran in completing his education. Application for this aid should be made on a form obtainable at the various branch offices of the Veterans Administration or at the college. Eligible veterans will receive a Certificate of Eligi­ bility and Entitlement which should be presented to the college at the time of registration. Disabled veterans may apply for vocational rehabilitation and training under Public Law 16. Veterans are eligible for college scholarships and grants-in-aid when government help is not available. 8. Application for admission should be made to the Deans, Swarthmore College, Swarthmore, Pa. A catalogue, application card, and Veterans Administration Rehabilitation Form (fo r government aid) will be sent upon request. An applicant is urged wherever possible to visit the college and discuss his problems and proposed program with the Deans, members o f the Admissions and Scholarship Committees, and representatives of the departments in which he expects to do his work. Expenses Charges per academic year o f two semesters: Board, room, and tu itio n ....................................................... $1000 Fees . . . . . . .................................................................................. 50 Total charges ................................................................................$ 1 0 5 0 W hile a general charge for board, room, and tuition is made, this may be divided into $ 5 0 0 for tuition and $ 5 0 0 for board and room. The uniform charge of $25 per semester covers the costs of student health, class dues, athletic fees, arts and crafts, subscription to the undergraduate newspaper, and the support of several other extra cur­ ricular activities. An additional deposit o f $ 2 5 is required of each student, payable in advance, to cover incidental bills. Students may charge purchases at the college bookstore, laundry, telephone, room breakage, and other incidentals against this deposit. W hen it has been exhausted a new deposit will be required immediately. Any unused balance is returned. One half of the total sum is due not later than Registration Day at the beginning of the fall semester. Bill are mailed before the opening of the current term. Payments should be made by check or draft to the order of Swarthmore College . In case a student’s bill is not paid by die end o f the first month, he may be excluded from all college exercises. Correspondence about financial matters should be addressed to the Business Manager, M r. Charles G. Thatcher. 29 N o reduction or refunding of the tuition charge can be made on account o f absence, illness or dismissal during the year. If a student shall withdraw or be absent from college for any reason, there will be no reduction or refund because of failure to occupy the room assigned for that term. In case of illness or absence for other reasons from the college for six weeks or more, there will be a proportionate reduc­ tion for board, provided that notice be given to the Business Manager at the time of withdrawal. Fees cannot be refunded for any reason whatever. T h e Tuition Plan Many o f the parents o f students may wish to pay all tuition, fees, and residence charges on a monthly basis. It is now possible to arrange this under The Tuition Plan. The cost is four per cent greater than when payments are made in cash in advance. Details of its operation will be furnished by the College with the first semester’s bill in Sep­ tember. Student A id and Scholarships The college furnishes scholarships and financial assistance to deserv­ ing students from its general funds and from special endowments. All applications for scholarships are handled by the Committee on Admissions and Scholarships and should be addressed to the Deans. H onorary Scholarships are granted by the college in recognition of good scholastic standing and financial need. The specially endowed scholarship funds are listed on pages 32 to 38. G rants-in -aid, to a limited number, may be awarded to students of average scholastic standing and financial need who could not earn all they need without serious detriment to their academic work. College J obs afford opportunities to earn money by regular work at current wage rates in one of the college offices, shops, laboratories or libraries. A student may hold a college job in addition to a scholarship or a grant-in-aid. The distribution o f jobs among those authorized to hold them is made by the Business Manager. Residents of the borough of Swarthmore often send requests for services to the college, which cooperates in making these opportunities known to students. 30 Special Loan Funds Several loan funds are administered by a committee to which appli­ cation should be made through the Business Manager of the college. T he Class of 1913 L oan F und was established by the Class of 1913 at their twenty-fifth reunion.

Most students live in dormi­ tories. Many members of the faculty live in houses on the campus. Residence Halls There are four dormitories for men: W harton Hall, named in honor of its donor, Joseph W harton, at one time President of the Board of Managers; and three buildings on the newly purchased Mary Lyon School property. The women’s dormitories include the upper floors in the wings of Parrish H all; W orth Hall, the g ift o f W illiam P. W orth, 1876, and J. Sharpless W orth, ex-1873, as a memorial to their parents; Palmer and Pittenger Halls on South Chester R oad; and W oolm an House on W a l­ nut Lane. Roberts Hall on South Chester Road has been converted into apart­ ments for a limited number o f married veterans. Dining Rooms All students, both men and women, have their meals in two adjoining College Dining Rooms in Parrish Hall. Religious Life The religious life o f the college is founded on the Quaker principle that the seat of spiritual authority lies in the Inner Light of each indi­ vidual. It is committed to the belief that religion is best expressed in the quality of everyday living. There are accordingly no compulsory religious exercises, save in so far as the brief devotional element in Collection (see below) may be so considered. Students are encouraged to attend the churches o f their choice: Episcopal, Presbyterian, Metho­ dist, and Christian Science, in the borough o f Swarthmore; Catholic, in the nearby towns o f Morton, Media, and Chester. The Swarthmore Meeting House is located on the campus. Students are cordially invited to attend its active religious service on Sunday. Extra-curricular groups under faculty direction exist for the study o f the Bible and the explora­ tion of common concerns in religion. 39 An assembly of the college, called Collection, is held at 1 1 .0 0 a.m. every Thursday in Clothier M emorial; attendance o f students is re­ quired. There is regularly a period of silence according to the Friendly tradition and, when these are in keeping with the remainder of the program, the singing of hymns and a reading from the Bible. Lasting from one-half to three-quarters of an hour, Collection normally includes an address; but this is varied by the occasional introduction of musical, dramatic, and other programs. Student Welfare Health There are two part-time college physicians, one for civilian men and one for women, each of whom holds daily office hours at the college. Students may consult them during office hours without charge. A student must report any illness to the college physicians, but is free to go for treatment to another doctor if he prefers to do so. The college physicians give physical examinations to all students at the beginning o f their freshman year, and arrange to see every student at least once in each subsequent year. The college health program includes tuberculin tests, which are com­ pulsory for all students. There are two infirmaries, one for men and one for women. The infirmary for men is in Section F of W harton H all; the women’s infirmary is at the east end of Parrish Hall. A registered nurse is in charge of each, under the direction of the college physicians. T he infirmaries are open to resident students without charge unless the services o f a special nurse are required. Students suffering from a communicable disease or from illness which makes it necessary for them to remain in bed must stay in the infirmaries for the period of their illness. The psychiatrists of the Institute o f the Pennsylvania Hospital are consulted when need arises. Student Advisers , T he deans and their assistants and members of the faculty serve as student advisers. They rely also on the help o f upper class men and women in work with freshmen. Members o f the Senior Honorary Societies of Book and Key and of Mortar Board carry special responsi­ bility for the Freshman Placement Program. 40 Educational Resources Following are descriptions o f the libraries, foundations and special collections which enrich the academic background of the college: The Swarthmore College L ibrary, in part the gift of Andrew Carnegie, contains reading rooms, offices, and a collection of 1 4 2 ,0 0 0 volumes. Some 5 ,0 0 0 volumes are added annually. About 6 0 0 period­ icals are received regularly. The general collection, including all but the scientific and technical books and journals, is housed in the library building, situated on the front campus. An addition providing store­ room for 15 0 ,0 0 0 volumes was erected in 1935. Important special units of the main library are the Appleton collection o f classics and English literature and the Potter collection of legal material. The library is definitely a collection of books and journals for undergraduate use. The demands o f honors work, however, make necessary the provision of large quantities of source material not usually found in collections maintained for undergraduates. It is a point of library policy to try to supply, either by purchase or through inter-library loan, the books needed by students or members of the faculty for their individual research. The B iddle M emorial L ibrary is an attractive fire-proof structure of stone and steel given by Clement M. Biddle, ’96 , in memory o f his father, Clement M . Biddle, who served for over twenty years as a member of the Board of Managers or as an officer of the Corporation of the College. This Library contains two important Collections: the Friends Historical Library and the Swarthmore College Peace Collection. The Friends Historical Library, founded in 1870 by Anson Lapham, is one of the outstanding collections in the United States of manuscripts, books, pamphlets, and pictures relating to the history of the Society of Friends. The library is the central depository for the record of Friends’ meetings belonging to Philadelphia Yearly Meeting (Race S treet). The number of record books o f these meetings totals about 900, many of which have been reproduced on microfilm. A microfilm reading machine is available. Among the other manuscript 41 holdings are the Charles F. Jenkins Autograph Collection, including signatures of authors, reformers, and members of the Continental Con­ gress; the Charles F . Jenkins W hittier Collection, consisting of first editions and manuscripts of John Greenleaf W h ittier; and journals, letters, and miscellaneous papers of many Friends. The library’s collec­ tion of printed materials by and about Friends includes a large number of seventeenth-century imprints as well as many books, pamphlets, and periodicals of later date. There is also an extensive collection of photographs of meeting houses and pictures of representative Friends, including the original of Sir Peter Lely’s Portrait of George Fox. It is hoped that Friends and others will consider the advantages o f de­ positing in this library, for preservation and for the use of scholars, books and family papers which may throw light on the history of the Society of Friends. Also housed in the Biddle Memorial Library is the Swarthmore Col­ lege Peace Collection, built around a nucleus of books and personal papers given in 1 9 3 0 by Jane Addams; it contains a large amount of material dealing with international peace and has become a repository for the files o f many peace organizations. The W illiam J. Cooper F oundation provides a varied program of lectures and concerts which enriches the academic work of the col­ lege. The Foundation was established by W illiam J. Cooper, a devoted friend of the college, whose wife, Emma Mcllvain Cooper, served as a member of the Board of Managers from 1882 to 1923. M r. Cooper bequeathed to the college the sum of $ 1 0 0 ,0 0 0 and provided that the income should be used "in bringing to the college from time to time eminent citizens of this and other countries who are leaders in states­ manship, education, the arts, sciences, learned professions and business, in order that the faculty, students and the college community may be broadened by a closer acquaintance with matters o f world interest." Admission to all programs is without charge. The Cooper Foundation Committee works with the departments and with student organizations in arranging single lectures and concerts, and also in bringing to the college speakers o f note who remain in 42 residence for a long enough period to enter into the life o f the com­ munity. Some of these speakers have been invited with the understand­ ing that their lectures should be published under the auspices o f the Foundation. This arrangement has so far produced 7 volumes: Lindsay, Alexander Dunlop. T he Essentials of Democracy. Philadel­ phia, University of Pennsylvania Press, 1929. Lowes, John Livingston.

The B enjam in W est Society , an organization of alumni, members of the faculty, and friends of the college, is building up a collection of paintings, drawings, and etchings, which are exhibited as space permits in various college buildings. The Society owes its name to the American artist o f the eighteenth century who was bom in a house which still stands on the Swarthmore Campus, and who became Presi­ dent of the Royal Academy. The G eorge G rey B arnard Collection , the gift o f the artist, con­ tains original clay models and plaster casts o f his works. It is not open to visitors, since the building in which it is temporarily stored for safe keeping is not suitable for exhibitions. 43 The J ames D. E gleson M urals. In the Auditorium of Hicks Hall is a series of frescoes by James D. Egleson, ’29, a former student of Orozco. The artist has depicted conditions and concepts out of the life of our times in America as they are affected by industrialization and the science of engineering. The B ronson M . C utting M emorial Collection of R ecorded M usic was established at Swarthmore College in 1 9 3 6 by a gift of approximately four thousand phonograph records, a radio-phonograph, books and musical scores, from the family of Bronson Murray Cutting, late Senator from New Mexico. Its object is to make the best recorded music available to the undergraduates, faculty, and friends of Swarth­ more College, in cooperation with the work of the college Department of Music. The Arthur H oyt Scott H orticultural F oundation . T wo hundred and forty-seven acres are contained in the College property, including a large tract of woodland and the valley of Crum Creek. Much of this tract has been developed as an Arboretum through the provisions of the Arthur Hoyt Scott Horticultural Foundation, estab­ lished in 1 9 2 9 by Mrs. Arthur Hoyt Scott and Owen and Margaret Moon as a memorial to Arthur Hoyt Scott of the Class of 1895. The Arboretum is designed both to beautify the campus and to afford exam­ ples of the better kinds of trees, shrubs and herbaceous plants which are hardy in the climate of Eastern Pennsylvania and suitable for plant­ ing by the average gardener. There are exceptionally fine displays of Japanese cherries and tree peonies, and a great variety o f lilacs and chrysanthemums. Many donors have contributed generously to the col­ lections. (F o r full information see Bulletin o f Swarthmore College, Vol. xxxvii, N o. 5 .) 44 T h e Student Community Student Council The whole undergraduate community of men and women is repre­ sented by the Student Council which attempts to coordinate all student activities, and confers with the Administrative Council o f the faculty on college problems. Men’s Executive Committee The men students of the college are represented by the M en’s Execu­ tive Committee, a group elected to take responsibility for specified problems which have to do primarily with dormitory life. Women’s Student Government Association All women students are members of the W omen’s Student Govern­ ment Association, headed by an Executive Committee elected to pro­ mote a great variety of women’s interests. This committee includes the chairmen of certain important committees: Conduct, which maintain« social regulations; Personnel, which has a special concern for helping freshmen; Social (see below) ; Vocational, which assists the women’s Vocational D irector; Student-Alumnae Relationships, which arranges the program for Somerville Day, on which alumnae are invited to return to the College; Somerville Lectures, which brings to the college popular speakers on subjects related to the arts. Social Committee An extensive program of social activities is managed by the Social Committee, under the direction o f two elected co-chairmen, a man and a woman. The program is designed to appeal to a wide variety of interests, and is open to all students. Somerville Forum All women undergraduates and graduates are members o f the Somer­ ville Forum, an outgrowth of the Somerville Literary Society, which was established in 1871. The undergraduates hold open meetings de­ voted to music, art and literature; the alumnae maintain two fellowships 45 for women for graduate work, the Lucretia M ott Fellowship and the Martha E. Tyson Fellowship. The final meeting in April, known as Somerville Day, is a gathering of alumnae and undergraduates. Extra-Curricular Activities In addition to the foregoing organizations, Swarthmore students have an opportunity to participate in a program of extra-curricular activities wide enough to meet every kind o f interest. N o credit is given for work in such varied fields as sculpture, play-writing, pub­ lishing the school newspaper or playing the cello in the orchestra. However the college encourages a student to participate in whatever group best fits his personal talents and inclinations, believing that satisfactory avocations are a necessary part of life for the well-rounded individual. It has provided instruction or advisors wherever there has been sufficient demand. A handbook describing all activities, written by the students themselves, can be had upon request to the Deans Office. Vocational Office The college provides vocational information and advice to assist students in their choice of a career. The Vocational Director for Men, Carl K . Dellmuth, and the Vocational Director for W om en, Mrs. Cecile Beeman, periodically plan conferences and field trips, and arrange interviews with key employers. They offer help to students in finding employment. In addition, summer work is planned to give students job experience in various fields. A lum ni Office The Alumni Office keeps records of the addresses of all living graduates and alumni o f the college. It also publishes periodically the Swarthmore alumni magazine, T he G arnet L etter . T he Alumni Secretary acts as liason for the college with all alumni and alumni groups, interpreting to them present plans and policies o f the college. 46 General Statement Swarthmore College offers the degree o f Bachelor o f Arts and the degree o f Bachelor of Science. The latter is given only in the Division of Engineering; the former, in the Divisions o f the Humanities, the Social Sciences, and Mathematics and the Natural Sciences.* Eight terms of resident study, which are normally completed in four years, lead to a Bachelor’s degree. For veterans and, in special circumstances, for other students an accelerated program of three terms a year is optional. See page 28. During the first half of their college program, all students are ex­ pected to complete general college requirements, to choose their major and minor subjects, and to prepare for advanced work in these subjects by taking certain prerequisites. Their schedule is made up of fu ll or half courses. Five full courses or their equivalent in half courses constitute the normal program for each of the first two years. A full course repre­ sents from eight to twelve hours of work a week for two terms, includ­ ing class meetings and laboratory periods. The program for upper class students affords a choice between two methods of study: Honors W ork, leading to a degree with Honors, and General Courses. An honors student concentrates on three related subjects which he studies by the seminar method. A t the end o f his senior year he must take a battery eight examinations on the work of his seminars, posed by competent outside examiners. (The system will be explained more fully below.) A student in general courses has a somewhat wider freedom of election and takes four full courses or their equivalent in each of the two years. He is required to pass comprehensive examinations in his major and minor subjects, posed by the members of those departments. For variations from this basic plan in the Division of Engineering see pages 76 to 79In addition to scholastic requirements for graduation, all students m ust meet certain standards of participation in Physical Education as set forth in the statement of that department (see pp. 105 to 1 0 7 ) and must attend the Collection exercises of the college (see p. 5 6 ) . * For groupings of departments, see page 17. 48 Course Advisers The course advisers of freshmen and sophomores are members of the faculty appointed by the deans. F o r juniors and seniors the advisers are the chairmen o f their major departments or their representatives. Program for Freshmen and Sophomores The program for the first four terms is designed primarily to con­ tribute to a student’s general education by giving him an introduction to the methods of thinking and the content of knowledge in a variety of fields: 1. The traditional humanistic studies— those studies through which man learns to understand himself and his relationship to his fellows as individuals, and the enduring values in human experience. 2. The social sciences— those studies through which man learns to understand the nature of organized society, past and present, and the relationship of himself to it. 3. The natural sciences— those studies through which man learns to understand the world, both organic and inorganic, outside of his own individual and social being. The following subjects, therefore, designed to serve as a broad and sound background for the more specialized work of the last two years, are included in the program of the first two years for all students (except those in the Division of Engineering; see pages 7 6 -7 8 ) : Foreign Language— through Course 2B (see below) History— full course (except for science students who may sub­ stitute a second social science) Literature— half course Philosophy— half course Psychology— half course Social Science— full course in either Economics or Political Science Natural Science or Mathematics— full course or two half courses. (A full course in Mathematics is required for science students.) As far as possible, these requirements are to be completed during the first year. It is usual, however, to defer Psychology to the first term of the second year. Science students, moreover, must ordinarily 49 defer History (o r the alternative second social science) to the second year. In addition to the requirements listed above, prerequisites must be completed for the work of the last two years in major and minor sub­ jects, and sufficient additional electives must be taken to make up ten full courses. In the Divisions of the Humanities and the Social Sciences it is strongly recommended that these electives shall include: Half courses (preferably in the first semester of an academic year) in at least two of the following: Foreign Literature (classical or modern, either in the original or in translation), Fine Arts, Music. A full course in whichever social science (Economics or Political Science) is not taken in fulfilment o f the general require­ ments. A third half course in a natural science or a half course in Mathe­ matics or courses in each o f these. It is expected that, after completion of the minimum courses in the general program o f the first two years, the student will devote the remainder of his sophomore year to preparing himself for more ad­ vanced study of those subjects which have most interested him and to other courses which will increase the range of his knowledge. He should decide, as early in his sophomore year as possible, upon two or three subjects in which he might like to major and should consult the statements of the departments concerned as to required and recom­ mended courses and supporting subjects. In most cases he is advised to take not more than one semester of work in any subject beyond the first course. The requirement in foreign language (either classical or modern) is such that an exceptionally well prepared freshman may demon­ strate his completion o f it before entering college by his rating in an Achievement Test given by the College Entrance Examination Board. The results of the tests indicate, however, that most students need to devote from one to four terms to further language study. A complete statement o f the requirement follows: 50 Each student will pursue one foreign language to a point equivalent to the completion o f Course 2. T he desired standard is normally met on the basis o f four years’ work in high school, or of three or two years’ work in high school follow ed by one or two terms in college. I f a stu­ dent fulfills the requirement with a language which he begins in college, he will need to study it fo r four terms. I f he fulfills it with a language begun elsewhere, his progress toward the degree of competence de­ manded is measured by a placement test. This may be one of the achievement tests of the College Entrance Examination Board which he has taken as a requirement fo r admission. Additional placement tests are given when necessary by the Swarthmore departments of language. Program for Juniors and Seniors Work in Courses The work of juniors and seniors in courses includes sufficient con­ centration in one field to give an understanding of professional com­ petence in that field. The major usually consists of four full courses in a single department and is supported by three full courses or six half courses in a related department or departments; these are selected in consultation with th« course adviser in the major field. Before graduation the student must pass a comprehensive examination which will test his achievement in his major field and in the supporting subjects. The student must make application to the chairman of his major department before the end o f his sophomore year. His adviser will then submit his program for approval to the division most concerned. If a student is not acceptable to any department as a major, he cannot enter the junior class. In addition to major and minor subjects, juniors and seniors usually have room for at least one elective a year. The completion o f eighteen full courses, with a minimum average of C, normally constitutes the course requirement for a degree. A stu­ dent may carry extra work after the freshman year with the approval of his course adviser and of the Committee on Prescribed and Extra W ork, provided that his record in the previous year has been satisfactory. 51 Honors Work D e s c r ip tio n o f th e S ystem Honors work is a system of instruction designed to free from the limitations of class-room routine those students whose maturity and capacity enable them to do independent work. Students who are chosen toward the end of their sophomore year to read for honors are exempt from further course requirements. Instead, during their junior and senior years they study a few subjects intensively and independently. They meet their instructors weekly in small seminars lasting about three hours. In these meetings it is customary for students to present frequent papers, although the methods o f stimulating discussion vary greatly. In scientific subjects additional time is spent in the laboratory. The work is so planned that a student takes two seminars each semester, making a total of eight seminars during his last two years. Departments some­ times permit their major students to substitute for one seminar the preparation of a thesis. If a department, supported by the division concerned, is of the opinion that seven seminars instead of eight, plus one full course or two half courses, form a better educational program than the usual eight seminars, such a program will be allowed, and will be completed by seven examinations instead of eight. A student whose work shows unusual distinction but who has not elected to read for honors at the end of his sophomore year may be permitted to take the regular honors examinations and receive the degree of honors recommended by the visiting examiners. H e must petition the division concerned for this permission before the end of his seventh semester and must submit a list of eight examinations which he feels prepared to take. Honors work involves a concentration of the student’s efforts upon a limited and integrated field o f studies. H e chooses seminars in three (or sometimes four) allied subjects, and customarily devotes at least one-half o f his time to a single department in the line of his major interest, in which he is expected to demonstrate real achievement. Combinations of seminars are not governed by rigid rules but must 52 be approved by the departments and divisions in which work is taken. Combinations involving seminars from two divisions must be approved by the Committee on Extra and Prescribed W ork. N o examinations or grades are given from semester to semester.* A t the end of the senior year honors students take written and oral examinations given by ex­ aminers from other institutions.** The student should attain a degree o f proficiency which will enable him to meet a rigorous and searching examination. This examination is designed to test his competence in a field of knowledge rather than his mastery of those facts which an instructor has seen fit to present in seminar. This is one o f the chief ends for which the system of visiting examiners has been instituted. The examiners first set a three-hour written examination on the subject o f each seminar, and after reading the written examination have an opportunity to question each student orally, in order to clarify and enlarge the basis o f their judgment o f the student’s command o f his material. Upon recommendation of the examiners, successful candidates are awarded the bachelor’s degree with honors, with high honors, or with highest honors. Highest honors are awarded only to those who show unusual distinction. W hen the work of a candidate does not, in the opinion of the examiners, merit honors o f any grade, his papers are returned to his instructors, who decide, under rules o f the faculty, whether he shall be given a degree in course. Students admitted to honors work who prove unable to meet the re­ quirements or who for other reasons return to regular classes may receive proportional course credit for the work they have done while reading for honors. Regulations governing possible combinations o f major and minor subjects in the four divisions appear below. Lists o f seminars offered in preparation for examinations follow departmental statements. • It is customary for honors students to take practice examinations at the end of the junior year over the work covered thus far. These papers are read by the instructor concerned and are used as a basis for advice and guidance for the work of the senior year. ** For list of examiners in February and June, 1946, see page 122. 53 Combinations of Majors and Minors for Honors Work Division of the Humanities Major and minor subjects include English, Fine Arts, French, Ger­ man, Greek, History, Latin, Music, Philosophy, Psychology, and Spanish. At least half of the student’s time will probably be devoted to his major subject, the remainder being divided between two related subjects within the division. Division of the Social Sciences Major and minor subjects include Economics, History, Philosophy, Psychology, and Political Science. Students in this division normally devote half their time to their major subject, dividing the remainder among related minor subjects according to plans approved by the division. Division of Mathematics and the Natural Sciences M ajor subjects include Botany, Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics, Psychology, Zoology; related minor subjects include the subjects listed, and Astronomy and Philosophy, / t least half of the student’s time will probably be devoted to his major subject, with the remainder divided between two other related subjects within the division. Division of Engineering M ajor subjects for honors work in this division include Civil En­ gineering, Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering; a minor may be taken in either or both of the engineering departments in which the student does not have his major, or in Chemistry, Mathe­ matics, Physics or Economics. A t least one-half of the student’s time will be devoted to his major in engineering. The degree granted is the B.S. in Engineering. The final examination will include papers on the fundamentals of the three professional departments of engineering, four papers on the 54 seminars of the senior year, and one or two additional papers based upon the course which the student has taken, the number of the papers and their subjects to be determined by the faculty of the division. Procedure for Admission to Honors Work A candidate for admission to an honors division must file his applica­ tion near the end of his sophomore year with the chairman o f his division, and must indicate the particular combination o f related sub­ jects on which he wishes to be examined for his degree. His acceptance by the division depends in part upon the quality o f his previous work as indicated by the grades he has received but mainly upon his apparent capacity for assuming the responsibility of honors work. The names of successful candidates are announced later in the spring. The major de­ partment will then arrange, in consultation with the student, a definite program of subjects to constitute the field of knowledge on which ht will be examined at the end o f his senior year. That department is responsible for drawing up the original plan of his work, for super­ vising his choice of seminars in all departments and for keeping in touch with his progress from semester to semester. The division is responsible for approval of the student’s original program and for any subsequent changes in that program. Proposals for combinations of subjects or departments not provided for in the divisional arrangements must be submitted by the division to the Committee on Extra and Prescribed W ork for final approval. Pre-Medical Program The pre-medical student’s program is planned and his work super­ vised by the Pre-medical Advisory Committee. There is more than one program of courses by which a student may prepare himself for ad­ mission to medical school. In mapping out a program for each student the Committee keeps in mind (a ) the particular interests o f the student, (b ) the entrance requirements of the medical schools of the student’s choice, (c ) the need for an understanding of basic social problems and the cultivation of a sensitiveness for the enduring values 55 in the arts and literature, and (d ) the value of intensive work in at least one field. In order to meet medical school requirements most pre-medical students take Chemistry lA , IB , 6A, 6B or 2 ; English Composition; Mathematics 1, 2 ; Physics 1 ; Zoology 1, 2, 3, 4 ; a modern foreign language (preferably German) to a point equivalent to the com­ pletion of course 2. The work of the junior and senior years may be takpn in the Honors program or in course. Intensive work may be carried out in a single field or in closely related departments. Pre­ medical students may fulfill the major requirements in the department of their own choice, usually, but not necessarily, in chemistry, mathe­ matics, physics, or zoology; or they may fulfill the requirement by completing three full courses in each of two related departments in the division of mathematics and the natural sciences. In the latter case the comprehensive examinations will be arranged jointly by the de­ partments concerned. Although some students have been admitted to medical schools upon the completion of three years o f college work, many of the best medical schools strongly advise completion of four years o f college. Faculty Regulations Attendance at Classes and Collection Members of the faculty will hold students responsible for regular attendance at classes and will report to the Deans the name of any student whose repeated absence is in their opinion impairing the student’s work. The number of cuts allowed in a given course is not specified, a fact which places a heavy responsibility on all students to makp sure that their work is not suffering as a result of absences. Since freshmen must exercise particular care in this respect and since the faculty recognizes its greater responsibility toward freshmen in the matter of class attendance, it is expected that freshmen, especially, will attend all their classes. W hen illness necessitates absence from classes the student should report at once to the nurses or to the college physicians. 56 The last meeting before vacation and the first meeting after vacation in each course must be attended. The minimum penalty for violation of this rule is probation. The exact definition of probation in individual cases is left to the Deans with the understanding that it shall include attendance at all classes without cuts. Absences from Collection are acted upon by the deans as instructed by the Collection Committee. All students are allowed two absences from Collection each term. Grades Instructors report to the deans’ office at intervals during the year upon the work of students in courses. Informal reports during the semester take the form of comments on unsatisfactory work. A t the end of each semester formal grades are given in each course under the letter system, by which A means excellent w ork; B means good w ork; C means fair work; D means poor work, and E shows failure. W signifies withdrawn and Cond. signifies conditioned in the course. Reports are sent to parents and to students at the end of each semester. For graduation in general courses, a C average is required; for graduation in honors work, the recommendation of the visiting exam­ iners. (See pp. 51 to 55 and p. 6 0 .) The mark "conditioned” indicates either ( 1 ) that a student has done unsatisfactory work in the first half of a course, but by creditable work during the second half may earn a passing grade for the full course, and thereby remove his condition; ( 2 ) that a student’s work is incom­ plete in respect to specific assignments or examinations; when he com­ pletes it, he will remove his condition. Conditions of both types must normally be made up in the term immediately following that in which they were incurred; for the removal of conditions o f type ( 2 ) , a date is set at the end of the first six weeks of each term when makeup examinations must be scheduled and late papers submitted. Under special circumstances involving a use of laboratories or attendance at courses not immediately available, a student may secure permission to extend the time for making up a con­ dition until the second term following. Any condition not made up within a year from the time it is imposed shall thereafter be recorded as E, i.e., complete failure, which cannot be made up. 57 Extra or Fewer Courses A student may carry more or less than the normal number of courses only if he has the formal approval o f his course adviser and o f the Committee on Prescribed and Extra W ork. H e should submit his peti­ tion to the committee within one week of registration. Examinations Any student who is absent from an examination, announcement of which was made in advance, shall be given an examination at another hour only by special arrangement with the instructor in charge of the course. N o examination in absentia shall be permitted. This rule shall be interpreted to mean that instructors shall give examinations only at the college and under direct departmental supervision. Summer School Work Students desiring to transfer credit from a summer school are required to obtain the endorsement o f the chairman of the department concerned before entering upon the work, and after completing the work are required to pass an examination set by the Swarthmore department. Residence All men students except freshmen choose their rooms in order deter­ mined by lot. All freshmen, both men and women, are assigned to rooms by the deans. Upper class women have a preferential system carried out by a committee of students and members o f the admin­ istrative staff. Students may occupy their rooms between terms only by special arrangement with the deans. The college dining room is closed during all vacations. Freshmen are asked to leave the college immediately after their last examination in June so that their rooms may be used by Commence­ ment visitors. 58 P ro h ib itio n o f A u to m o b ile s at S w a rth m o re By action of the faculty, approved by the Board o f Managers, under­ graduates are forbidden to maintain automobiles at the college or in the borough of Swarthmore. The regulation is as follows: Resident students are not allowed to keep automobiles on the campus or in the borough o f Swarthmore. The rule prohibits equally the keep­ ing of automobiles owned by students and those owned by other persons but placed in the custody or control of students. Day students may use cars in commuting to college. Under exceptional circumstances, a student may obtain permission from one of the deans to keep an automobile in the borough for a limited time. Parents and students must realize that this regulation w ill he strictly en forced ; students who do not observe it w ill be asked to withdraw from college. E x clu s io n fro m C o lleg e 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 fees will not be refunded or remitted, in whole or in part, and neither the college nor any of its officers shall be under any liability whatsoever for such exclusion. 59 Requirements F o r Graduation Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science The degrees of Bachelor o f Arts and Bachelor of Science are con­ ferred upon students who have met the following requirements for graduation: 1. The candidate must have completed eighteen full courses or ten courses and eight seminars with an average grade o f C. 2. H e must have complied with the course requirements for the first two years. 3. H e must have met the requirements in the major and minor fields during the last two years. 4. H e must have passed satisfactorily the comprehensive examina­ tions in his major and minor fields or met the standards set by visiting examiners for a degree with honors. 5. H e must have completed four terms of study at Swarthmore Col­ lege, two of which have been those of the senior year. 6. H e must have completed the physical education requirements set forth in the statements of the Physical Education Departments (see pages 105 to 1 0 7 ) . 7. H e must have attended the Collection exercises o f the College in accordance with the regulations (see page 5 7 ) . 8. H e must have paid all outstanding bills and returned all equip­ ment and library books. Advanced D egrees Master of Arts and Master of Science The degrees o f Master o f Arts and Master o f Science may be con­ ferred upon graduates o f Swartmore College or of other institutions of satisfactory standing who spend at least a year in residence at this col­ lege, pursuing a course of study approved by the faculty. Each candidate for the Master’s degree must prepare a satisfactory thesis on a subject assigned by the professor in charge o f the major subject, and must pass a final oral examination before a committee of the faculty. In 60 recent years the policy of the faculty has been opposed to accepting candidates for the Master’s degree. Advanced Engineering Degrees The advanced degrees of Mechanical Engineer (M .E .), Electrical Engineer (E .E .) , and Civil Engineer (C .E .), may be obtained by graduates who have received their Bachelor’s degree in Engineering upon the fulfilling of the requirements given below: 1. The candidate must have been engaged in engineering work for five years since receiving his first degree. 2. H e must have had charge o f engineering work and must be in a position of responsibility and trust at the time of application. 3. H e must make application and submit an outline of the thesis he expects to present, one full year before the advanced degree is to be conferred. 4. The thesis must be submitted for approval one calendar month before the time of granting the degree. 5. Every candidate shall pay a registration fee of $5 and an addi­ tional fee of $20 when the degree is conferred. Awards and Prizes The I vy M edal F und was created by a gift from Owen Moon, '94. The income of the fund is used to purchase a medal which is placed in the hands of the faculty for award on Commencement Day to a male member of the graduating class. The regulations governing the award are as follows: ( 1 ) The qualifications for the Ivy Medal are similar to those for the Rhodes Scholarships and include (a ) qualities of manhood, force of character, and leadership; ( b ) literary and scholastic ability and attainments. These have been phrased by the donor in the words "leadership based upon character and scholarship.” ( 2 ) It is the wish of the donor that the medal should not be awarded on a mere basis of averages. Instead, it is desired that the winner should be a man who gives promise of distinction either in character or in intellectual attain­ ments, as opposed to a man who has merely made the most of mediocre abilities. (3 ) On the other hand, it is the wish of the donor that the medal should not go to a man who, while showing excellence in some one respect, has fallen seriously below the standard in others. 61 The Oak L eaf M edal was established by David Dwight Rowlands of the Class of 1909. It was later permanently endowed in memory of him by Hazel C. Rowlands, '0 7 , and Caroline A . Lukens, ’98 . The medal is placed in the hands o f the faculty to be awarded each year to the woman member o f the Senior Class who is outstanding for loyalty, scholarship and service. The M cCabe Engineering Award, founded by Thomas B. McCabe, 1915, is to be presented each year to the outstanding engineering stu­ dent in the Senior Class. The recipient is chosen by a committee o f the faculty of the Division of Engineering. The Crane P rize , a memorial to Charles E. Crane, Jr., o f the Class of 1936, is an award of about $ 2 0 , given for the purchase of philo­ sophical books, and presented annually to the junior who, in the opin­ ion of the department, has done the best work in Philosophy. The A. Edward N ewton L ibrary P rize , endowed by A. Edward Newton, to make permanent the Library Prize first established by W . W . Thayer, is awarded annually to that undergraduate who, in the opinon of the Committee o f Award, shows the best and most intelli­ gently chosen collection o f books upon any subject. Particular emphasis is laid in the award, not merely upon the size of the collection but also upon the skill with which the books are selected and upon the owner’s knowledge o f their subject-matter. The K atherine B . Sicard P rize , endowed by the Delta Gamma Fraternity in memory of Katherine B. Sicard, ex '3 4 , is awarded an­ nually to the freshman woman who, in the opinion o f the department, shows greatest proficiency in English. P ublic Speaking Contests . Prizes for annual contests in public speaking are provided by two funds as follows: The E lla F rances B unting Extemporary S peaking F und awards $ 4 5 in six prizes, three for men and three for women, for the best extemporaneous short speeches. The Owen M oore F und provides the Delta Upsilon Speak­ ing Contest prizes totalling $ 2 5 for the best prepared speeches on topics of current interest. 62 The G eorge F ox Award of $100 is presented annually by an anonymous friend of the College to the undergraduate who writes the best essay on some phase of the history or testimonies o f the Society of Friends.

Manuscripts should be ready by April 1 of each year. Fellowships There are six fellowships offered to graduates of Swarthmore College. Three fellowships are awarded annually by the faculty, on recom­ mendation of the Committee on Fellowships, to graduates of the college for the pursuit of advanced work under the direction o f the faculty or with their approval. As the result of an accumulation of income in the fellowship funds, it is expected that one or more special appointments can be made in 1947 in addition to those normally available. Applica­ tions for fellowships must be in the hands o f the committee by March 15. These three fellowships are: The H annah A. L eedom F ellowship of $ 5 0 0 , founded by the bequest of Hannah A . Leedom. The J oshua Lippincott F ellowship of $ 6 00 , founded by Howard W . Lippincott, of the Class o f 1875, in memory of his father. 63 The J ohn L ockwood M emorial F ellowship o f $ 6 0 0 , founded by the bequest of Lydia A. Lockwood, New Y ork, in memory of her brother, John Lockwood. It was the wish of the donor that the fellow­ ship be awarded to a member of the Society of Friends. The other three fellowships are: The L ucretia M ott F ellowship , founded by the Somerville Lit­ erary Society and sustained by the contribution o f its life members, has yielded an annual income since its foundation of $ 5 2 5 . It is awarded each year by a committee of the faculty (selected by the society), with the concurrence of the life members of the society, to a young woman graduate o f that year who is to pursue advanced study at some other institution approved by this committee. The M artha E. T yson F ellowship , founded by the Somerville Literary Society in 1913, is sustained by the contributions o f life mem­ bers of the society and yields an income of $ 5 0 0 or more. It is awarded biennially by a joint committee o f the faculty and the society (elected by the society) with the concurrence of the life members of the society to a Woman graduate of Swarthmore College, who has taught success­ fully for two years after her graduation and expects to continue teach­ ing. The recipient o f the award is to pursue a course of study fitting her for more efficient work in an institution approved by the Committee of Award. Sigma X i R esearch F ellowship . The Swarthmore Chapter of Sigma X I appoints, from time to time, as funds are available, Fellows with research grants with a maximum value of $ 1 ,0 0 0 . The holders of this fellowship are usually associates of the chapter who have shown conspicuous ability in graduate studies. The purpose of the chapter in awarding these fellowships is to relieve worthy students from teaching and other distracting duties so that they may concentrate as much as possible upon their research. Applications for these fellowships should be maHp to the secretary o f the chapter not later than the middle of March. Appointments will be announced about the middle of April. 64 A Corner o f the B iddle M em orial Library and the Tow er o f the Main Library. P arrish H a ll.

Requirem ents for Majors and Minors Students with a major in chemistry follow a course o f study leading to the degree o f A .B . This degree may be taken either in course or with honors. In either case there must be completed, during the first two years, the following: Two courses in chemistry, two courses in mathematics, one course in physics, and German to the completion of course 2. Students who come to college with the intention o f majoring in chemistry are strongly advised to take Chemistry 1A in their first term and IB in the second term. They also take mathematics in their first term, postponing history until later. Students may select chemistry as a major at some later date, but often at some sacrifice o f flexibility in their program. There are various arrangements o f the curriculum which lead to graduation with a major in chemistry. The particular courses which makp up the curriculum of any one student will depend upon his or her preparation, abilities, interests, and objectives. The following, however, is a typical curriculum for the student in course. Sophom ore Year Freshman Year Chemistry lA , IB Mathematics 1, 2 German 2A , 2B Philosophy 2 (Introduction) Chemistry 2, 6 A Mathematics 11, 12 Physics lA , IB History lA , l B or Economics lA , lB or Political Science lA , IB English 1 (M odern Literature) Psychology lA Elective (half course) Economics lA , lB or Political Science lA , IB Senior Y ear Junior Y ear Chemistry 3, 5A , 5B, 6B Electives (two full courses), usually Physics 2A , 2B, and Electives in chemistry (three half courses) Electives not chemistry visedly Mathematics 16, 17 outside the and ad­ Natural Sciences (five half courses) Honors Work Before admission to honors work the chemistry major will have completed the curriculum o f the first two years, outlined above, or its equivalent. For admission to minor honors work in chemistry, Chem­ istry lA , IB , and 6A are prerequisites. A t the end of their senior year, honors students majoring in chemistry normally take four examination papers in chemistry, with the remaining papers usually selected from mathematics, physics, or zoology. The following seminars are offered as preparation for the examination in chemistry: 1 . Analytical Chemistry. Mr. Foster. A laboratory seminar designed to give the student as thorough a groundwork in the prin­ ciples and practice of quantitative analytical chemistry as the time will allow. Approximately twenty-four hours a week are spent in the laboratory under the guidance, but not the super­ vision of the instructor, carrying out examples of gravimetric, advanced volumetric and gas analytical methods. Conferences are held when necessary. 2. Physical Chemistry. Mr. Keighton. . . . , , , Weekly seminar and laboratory. The work of the seminar includes the study of the states of aggregation of matter, elementary principles of thermodynamics, equilibrium, the theory of solutions, electro-chemistry and colloid chemistry. One day per week is spent in the laboratory. 3. Advanced Physical Chemistry. Mr. Keighton. Weekly seminar and laboratory. The work of the seminar includes ^the study of thermo­ dynamics, the activity concept and activity coefficients, the Debye-Huckel theory of strong electrolytes, and chemical kinetics including photochemistry and acid-base catalysis.

Recent developments in the field of engineering, brought about by the coordinated efforts of great numbers of scientists, focus the attention of all upon the necessity o f learning the fundamentals o f science and of the importance o f cooperative endeavor. The engineer must be so dis­ ciplined that he is not only technically proficient, but has a broad cultural background which will enable him to accept his position as a professional man. The Engineering staff is keenly aware o f the advances in engineering made possible by new knowledge and new instruments, and feels a deep responsibility to educate student engineers to recog­ nize, analyze and solve the problems with which they will be faced after graduation. The courses required o f all students in Engineering for the first two years conform, insofar as possible, with the general curriculum adopted by the college for the freshman and sophomore year. Engineering students are required to take Drawing and Surveying in their freshman year. These courses replace foreign language in the general curriculum, but engineers may take courses in foreign languages by substituting them for electives in the Division o f the Humanities. There are three departments of Engineering— Civil, Electrical and Mechanical. These departments offer a series o f courses consisting o f: ( 1 ) introductory courses which all freshman and sophomore engineers must take; ( 2 ) courses in Engineering throughout the junior and senior years as outlined in the curriculum and discussed on pages 80 -8 4 . • Absent on leave. 76 Engineering students successfully completing this program qualify for the degree of Bachelor o f Science with a major in Civil, Electrical or Mechanical Engineering. Each curriculum provides that the student of Engineering will take about one-fifth of his work in the Division o f the Humanities and Social Sciences, one-fourth of his work in the Departments of Chemistry, Mathematics, and Physics, and the remainder of his work in the three Departments of Engineering. The requirements for Civil, Electrical and Mechanical Engineering do not differ until the fifth semester. All students devote their last two years: ( 1 ) to certain basic courses re­ quired of all engineers; ( 2 ) to fulfilling the major requirements of one of the departments of Engineering; ( 3 ) to developing their special interests. It is possible for students in any of the three depart­ ments whose interests lie in the field of administration, physics, mathe­ matics or chemistry, to elect courses having a more direct bearing on these subjects. An engineering student may enter the Honors program at the beginning of the fifth semester. W hen the sections in Engineering are small, the methods o f the seminar are followed in all upper classes. Therefore men who elect to take Honors examinations and those who do not may be in the same classes and are subject to the same disciplines. 77 Outline of the Curriculum in Engineering First Semester Second Semester English L iteratu re.......................... 3 Physics 1 A ...........................................4 Mathematics 1 ................................. 4 G E l Drawing ................................. 2 C E l Surveying................................. 2 Social Science E le c tiv e ................ 3 English Composition ................... 3 Physics I B ........................................... 4 Mathematics 2 ................................. 4 GE2 Descriptive G eom etry.......... 2 CE2 Surveying................................. 2 Social Science E le c tiv e ................. 3 18* 18* Summer: GE3 Shop and GE4 Materials— 5 weeks; Industry— 2 months T hird Semester Fourth Semester Chemistry lA ................................. 4 Mathematics 1 1 ................................. 4 CE3 S ta tics........................................ 4 Arts Elective ................................... 3 Social Science E le c tiv e ................. 3 Chemistry IB .................................... 4 Mathematics 12 ................................. 4 CE4 D ynam ics................................. 4 E E 1 Electric and Magnetic Circuits 3 Social Science E le c tiv e ................. 3 18* 18* C iv il E n g in eerin g Fifth Semester Sixth Semester M El Thermodynamics ................. 4 EE2 D.C.

Course Work The choice of courses in history in the junior and senior years should be made in such a way as to prepare for the comprehensive examina­ tions. They include questions on ( 1 ) European history, ( 2 ) English history, ( 3 ) American history, and ( 4 ) ancient history. M ajor students are expected to answer general questions in each of these fields, more specific questions in at least two of the fields. Course 12 (Special Topics) is designed to help major students in their preparation for these examinations. A ll major students should elect this course. By special permission of the department, part of the work of the major may be done in closely related courses offered by other departments. Honors Work The following seminars are offered by the department each year to prepare for the examinations for a degree with honors. Although an effort will be made to offer in any term any seminar desired by a suffi­ cient number of students, this will occasionally prove impossible and the department cannot guarantee in advance the term in which some seminars will be given. 93 European History ■fl.

This library receives the publications o f many of the leading observatories in exchange for the publications of the Sproul Observatory. The principal instrument of the Sproul Observatory is the twentyfour-inch visual refractor of thirty-six-foot focal length, used almost exclusively for photography. The instrument has been in continuous operation since 1912 and provides a valuable and steadily expanding collection o f photographs. A number o f measuring and calculating machines are available for the measurement and reduction of the photo­ graphs. The principal program of the Observatory is an accurate study of the distances, motions and masses of the nearer stellar systems. Results of departmental studies are published in the Sproul Obervatory publications and in various scientific journals. Advanced study in conjunction with the research program of the Observatory may be arranged in consultation with the Director of the Sproul Observatory. The Students’ Astronomical Observatory contains a six-inch visual refractor, a nine-inch photographic telescope, and a transit instrument The Sproul Observatory is open to visitors on the second and fourth Tuesday nights 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. 100 ft / Music Associate Professor: Alfred J. Swan, Chairman.

Requirem ents and Recommendations for Majors Applications to major in the department will normally not be ap­ proved until the student has completed course 1, and one other course from those numbered 2 to 10 if his principal interest is philosophy. Students whose principal interest is religion should consult the depart­ ment about their programs. Students whose principal interest is philosophy should consult the department if they plan to offer courses in religion, in excess of one, as fulfilment of their major or minor course requirements in philosophy. Prospective majors in Honors should seriously consider including Logic somewhere in the program of the first two years. As supporting material, the department recommends a year’s work in psychology and a semester’s work in physics. Honors Work For admission to honors study, the requirement is at least two sem­ ester courses, one of which must be the Introduction to Philosophy (course 1 ) , unless with the special permission of the department. Students should normally present as their second course one selected from courses numbered 2 to 10. It is recommended that students so plan their program that courses taken in the first two years do not deal with material to be covered in honors seminars. Seminars.

Assistant Professors: May E. Parry. I rene M oll. Assistants: Patricia Stock, Constance Renninger. College Physician for W omen : D r . Morris B owie . The aim o f this Department is to contribute to the education of all women students through the medium of physical activity. W e believe this contribution can best be achieved through participation in a broad program of recreational, rhythmic and developmental activities. There­ fore the program provides: instruction and experience in sports and dancing; swimming ability for all; corrective and developmental exer­ cises. It is our hope that the student will also acquire: appreciation o f the dance as a fine a rt; the meaning o f good sportsmanship; added endurance; good posture; leadership training; joy in outdoor exercise; and a program o f interests and skills that will carry over for the individual and her community after college. Classes are kept small to insure individual attention, and students are grouped according to ability. Ample opportunities are given for intramural and intercollegiate competition, as well as for public per­ formances and demonstrations. Freshmen and. sophomores take three periods o f activity each week. These may be elected from classes listed below with the stipulation that they: take swimming until a test is passed; take a rhythmic activity; take a team sp ort; take Body Mechanics if the posture grade indicates a need for it. Regulation costumes should be ordered before college opens. Blanks for this purpose will be sent out from the Office of the Dean to all incoming students. Sports 1. Hockey. Miss Parry, Miss Moll.

It covers electrostatics, magnetism, electro-magnetic phenomena, electronics and some applications. It is accompanied by laboratory measurements involving direct, alternating and electronic currents, static charges and permanent magnet*. Prerequisite: Mathematics seminars in advanced calculus and differential equations. 3. Atomic Physics. Mr. Elmore. Second semester. A seminar devoted to both the experimental and the theoretical aspects of modem atomic physics. The topics include gaseous conduction, atomic structure, isotopes, X-rays, photoelec­ tricity, radioactivity, nuclear physics and related matters. The seminar discussion is accompanied by a full-day laboratory period. This seminar should be preceded by that in electricity. 4. Theoretical Physics. N ot o ffered regularly. A study of selected topics, mostly drawn from classical physics but including an introduction to quantum theory. Little duplication occurs of theoretical material covered in Seminars l-J. This seminar is based on Page’s Introduction to Theoretical Physics. Not accompanied by laboratory. 108 3. General Physics. O ffered tentatively fo r 1947-1948. A seminar devoted to topics drawn from the entire field of physics. It is designed for students who desire a single honors seminar in physics but who do not wish to concentrate on one branch of the subject. The material covered includes theoretical mechanics, thermodynamics, electricity and magnetism, optics and some modem physics. The prerequisites are one full course each in the calculus and in general physics. Laboratory experiments supplement the discussion. This seminar will be given when needed provided that the current teaching load permits. Students majoring in physics are expected to complete Physics 1 and 2, Chemistry 1, and Mathematics 1, 2, 11 and 12 in their first two years. It is recommended that German be used to fulfil the language require­ ment. The work o f the upper two years involves ordinarily an honors program. Mathematics is an essential minor and most physics students elect three seminars in this subject. The usual practice is to include either chemistry or electrical engineering as the second minor. This general pattern for the upper years is subject to considerable modifica­ tion where special needs make it desirable. 109 Political Science Professor: J. Roland Pennock, Chairman.
