SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN

SW AR TH M O R E CO LLEG E

Swarthmore College is situated in the Borough of Swarthmore,
eleven miles southwest of Philadelphia on the O ctoraro branch of
the Pennsylvania Railroad. T w o hundred and thirty-seven acres
are contained in the College property, including a large tract of
woodland and the valley of Crum Creek.
T h e College was founded in 1864 through the efforts of members
of the Religious Society of Friends, for the purpose of securing to
the youth of the Society an opportunity for higher educational train­
ing under the guarded supervision and care of those of their own
religious faith. According to its first charter, membership on the
Board of M anagers of the College was limited to persons belonging
to the Society of Friends. T h e 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. T h is restriction is now believed
to be no longer needed and since 1911 has been omitted from the
revised charter. T h e intention of the founders was to make the pro­
motion of Christian character the first consideration, and to provide
opportunities for liberal culture while maintaining a high standard, of
scholarship. These aims have been followed in the administration of
the institution.
T h e enrollment of the College is limited to approximately five hun­
dred students. T h e endowment is seven and a half million dollars.

T h e Isaac H . Clothier M emorial is the gift of M rs. Isaac H .

ment has also a Students’ Astronomical Observatory, housed in a
separate building.

ing rooms, offices, and a collection of 90,000 volumes. A n addition pro­
viding storeroom for 150,000 volumes has been erected in 1935. One

T h e Benjamin W est Society is made up of alumni, students, mem­
bers of the faculty, and friends of Swarthmore who have a concern
for art at Swarthmore.
T h e name of the Society has special significance because W est,
himself a distinguished artist, and the founder of American painting,
was born on the Swarthmore campus.
It is the double purpose of the Benjamin W est Society to form,
by g ift and purchase, art collections which shall be the permanent
possession of the college and, from time to time, to bring to the
college art exhibits and distinguished lecturers on art. T h e Society
hopes ultimately to have a building wherein its collections, already
considerable in number and good in quality, may be exhibited appro­
priately.
Officers of the Association for the year 1934 are as follows: Presi­
dent, Frank Aydelotte; Vice-Presidents, Charles F . Jenkins, Alice
Sullivan Perkins; Secretary, Florence W ilco x ; Treasurer, Leonard
C . Ashton; Director, Frederic N . P rice; Curator, A lfred M . Brooks.
C O L L E G E P U B L IC A T IO N S
T hree periodicals are published by the students under the super­
vision of the faculty: T h e Swarthmore Phoenix, a weekly newspaper;
T h e Manuscript, a literary quarterly; the Halcyon, a year-book edited
by the Junior Class.
T h e Swarthmore College Bulletin, .published quarterly, includes
as three of its numbers the College Catalogue, the Annual Report of
the President of the college, and the Students’ Handbook. T h e fourth
number is devoted to special reports.
T H E C O L L E G E L IB R A R Y
T h e Swarthmore College Library now numbers approximately
90,000 volumes. Some 5,000 volumes are added annually. About
600 periodicals are received regularly. T h e general collection, in­
cluding all but the scientific and technical books and journals, is
housed in the Library building, situated on the front campus.
T o meet the needs of students reading for honors, the college is
enriching its collection as rapidly as possible. A s a consequence of this
growth, it became necessary last summer to build an addition contain­
ing stacks for 150,000 volumes. Former stack rooms in the main library

building have been converted into reading rooms for students and
w ork rooms for the Staff. T h e Library administration is changing
from the Dew ey decimal to the Library of Congress system of classi­
fication to make possible more rapid and adequate classification and
cataloguing of new books.
Important special units of the main Library are the Appleton
collection of Classics and English literature and the Potter collec­
tion of legal material. T h e Library is definitely a collection of books
and journals for undergraduate use. T h e demands of honors work,
however, make necessary the provision of large quantities of source
material not usually found in collections maintained for undergradu­
ates. It is a point of library policy to supply as fully as it can, either
by purchase or through inter-library loan, the books needed by stu­
dents or members of the faculty for their individual research.
Rules regarding the use of the Library and its books are reduced
to the minimum. T h e few in force are maintained so that the Library’s
holdings may be of the greatest benefit to all users.
T h e Librarian and each member of the staff welcome chances to
aid students in making full use of the Library’s resources. T h e L i­
brary is open on Mondays to Saturdays, inclusive, from 8 a .m . to
io p .m ., and on Sundays from 2 p .m . to 6 P.M., and from 7
to io P.M.

T h e Friends Historical Library, founded in 1870 by Anson Lapham, contains a valuable and growing collection of Friends records,
books, tracts, and early writings (many very rare), portraits of
representative Friends, pictures of old meeting houses, objects and
relics of personal and historic interest, and manuscripts relating to
the Society and its history. T h is collection is housed in the Library,
a fireproof building of stone and steel, the g ift of Clement M . Biddle
in memory of his father, Clement M . Biddle, and it is hoped that
Friends and others w ill deem it a secure place in which to deposit
books, papers, portraits, and other material in their possession which
may be of interest in connection with the history of the Society. Such
contributions are solicited, and should be addressed to the Friends H is­
torical Library, Swarthmore, Pa. T h e library is accessible to all per­
sons interested in the doctrines and history of Friends, and ample ar­
rangements are provided for its use for consultation and for reference.

honorary. Recipients are asked to assist in one of the college offices,
in the Library, or in the Bookstore for the number of hours a week
in which they could normally earn half their scholarships. A n award
of $100 demands a maximum of four hours of work a week.

M edals

T h e Ivy M edal Fund was created by a gift from O w en Moon,
’9 4 - T h e income of the fund is used to purchase a medal which is
placed in the hands of the faculty for award on Commencement D ay
to a male member of the graduating class. T h e regulations governing
the award are as follows :
(i) The idea behind the Ivy Medal is in general the Rhodes Scholarship
qualifications including (a) qualities of manhood, force of character, and
leadership; (b) literary and scholastic ability and attainments. This has been

phrased by the donor in the words “ leadership based upon character and
scholarship.”
(a) 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.

T h e O ak L eaf M edal was established by David D w ight Rowlands
of the Class of 1909. It was later permanently endowed in memory
of him by H azel C . Rowlands, ’07, and Caroline A . Lukens, ’98.
T h e medal is placed in the hands of the faculty to be awarded each
year to the woman member of the Senior Class who is outstanding for
loyalty, scholarship and service.

ADMISSION

35

A D M IS S IO N
In considering the application of each candidate the Committee
w ill study his, or her, school record, recommendations, and all available results of tests and examinations which indicate achievement and
promise. H igh ranking in the graduating class or good ratings in the
College Entrance Examination Board examinations w ill be regarded
as important evidence of aptitude for college work. Strong intellec­
tual interests and the promise of excellence in some particular direc­
tion w ill receive more consideration than a record which shows a
higher average without promise of unusual ability in any one field.
In addition, the Committee w ill place emphasis on the character and
purpose of the candidate, together with good health, interest in recrea­
tional pursuits, and leadership in school life. T h e qualities of char­
acter sought are the simplicity, moral earnestness and idealism which
have been traditionally associated w ith the Society of Friends and
with Swarthmore College. First consideration w ill be given to chil­
dren of Friends and Alum ni of the College ; those who rank high
in their graduating class w ill be assured of admission ; those who do
not rank high w ill be considered under the terms of the selective
process described above.
A ll members of the Freshman Class are required to take the Scho­
lastic Aptitude T est of the College Entrance Examination Board for
the purpose of educational guidance, although the results of this test
are not at present used as a basis for admission.
Candidates for admission should make early application, women
preferably before January i and men preferably before A pril 15. If
possible, records of school work for the first three years, signed by
the school Principal, should be submitted one year prior to admission.
Application blanks and certificate blanks are furnished by the Deans
of the College upon request. Certificates are returned to the school
Principals in the spring for the record of the senior year.
Applicants whose school records are good are asked to call at
Swarthmore College at special times during the year for interviews.
Persons living far from Swarthmore may be interviewed by represen­
tatives of the College in any part of the United States or abroad.
T h e names of men and women applicants accepted for admission
are announced as soon as possible after M ay 1 of the year of admission.

SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN

Candidates who have failed to file applications for examination
may be admitted by the supervisor upon payment of a fee of $5 in
addition to the regular examination fee. Such candidates should present
themselves at the beginning of the period of registration. T h ey w ill
receive from the supervisor blank forms of application which must be
filled out and transmitted to the Secretary of the College Entrance
Examination Board.
In order to exhibit their tickets of admission, to present their iden­
tification cards, and to obtain seats in the examination room, candidates
should report for a morning examination at 8 :45 and for an afternoon
examination at I ¡45. A n examination w ill close for candidates ad­
mitted late at the same time as for other candidates. T h e examinations
w ill be held in accordance with the time (Standard T im e or Daylight
Saving T im e) observed in the local schools.
N o candidate w ill be admitted to the Scholastic Aptitude T est late,
that is, after the test has begun.
T h e Scholastic Aptitude T est may be taken upon the completion of
the school course or at the end of the third year of secondary school
work. Each candidate desiring to take this test, even though he is to
take no other examination, must file with the Secretary of the Board
the usual application for examination. If the Scholastic Aptitude T est
is taken in connection with other examinations, no additional fee is
required; if taken alone, the fee is $10.
A week in advance of the Scholastic Aptitude T e st each candidate
who is to take the test should receive a booklet containing, with ex­
planations and instructions, a specimen test, the blank spaces of which
are to be filled in by the candidate. In order to secure admission to
the test, the candidate must present not only his ticket of admission
but also this booklet with the spaces filled in as requested.
It is very desirable that candidates who are to take the Scholastic
Aptitude T est file their applications with the Secretary. Applications
for the test w ill be accepted by the supervisor, however, up to the
day before the test provided the supervisor’s supply of material for
the Scholastic Aptitude T est is sufficient.

Swarthmore College offers ( i ) General Courses leading to the
degree of Bachelor of A rts and to the degree of Bachelor of Science,
and (2) Honors W o rk leading to these same degrees with honors,
hour years of resident study are normally required for the comple­
tion of the work leading to any of these degrees. T h e w ork of the
first two years for all students is in General Courses. During the
last^ two years, qualified students may read for Honors. T h e subjects
of instruction are classified according to departments, and the de­
partments are grouped into four divisions*: T h e Division of the H u ­
manities, the Division of the Social Sciences, the Division of M athe­
matics and the N atural Sciences, and the Division of Engineering.
In addition to scholastic requirements for graduation, all students
are held for physical training as set forth in the statement of that
department (see pp. 89, 9 1) and for attendance at the Collection
exercises of the College ( see p. 19 ).
Beginning in September, 1 9 3 4 , Swarthmore College abandoned the
hour credit system and undertook to measure the student’s progress in
terms of courses, each of which represents one-fourth of his time for
one year.

W O R K O F T H E F IR S T T W O YEARS
T he work of the first two years is identical in outline for all stu­
dents, although the subjects of study vary. (Exceptions in the Divi­
sion of Engineering are noted on p. 66.) Each student takes normally
during each of these two years four full courses or their equivalent.
Courses are scheduled usually for three class meetings per week, each
meeting of one hour’s duration. Seminar and laboratory periods of
longer duration may be substituted for one or more of these meetings.
Courses which are scheduled for one semester are counted as half
courses.

SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN

T h e subjects of study during the first two years include: (a) the
minimum language requirements, as outlined below, (b) one year’s
w ork in each of three Divisions, Humanities, Social Sciences, Natural
Sciences, (c) prerequisites for major and minor work in the D ivi­
sion of the student’s choice, and (d) electives, approved by the course
adviser.
T h e minimum language requirements are as follows:
1. English: Each student is expected at entrance to college to be
able to use the English language with accuracy and clarity. A n y de­
ficiency must be removed by special work before the beginning of the
Sophomore year.
2. Foreign languages: Each student w ill pursue in college one
foreign language (French, German, Greek, Latin, or Spanish) to a
point equivalent to the completion of Course I I I or two languages
to a point equivalent to the completion of Course II. Admission to
Courses II and III w ill be determined by placement tests given on
entrance to college. T h e standard for admission to Course I I is such
as might reasonably be expected from a student who has had two
years’ preparation in the language," the standard for admission to
Course I II is such as might reasonably be expected from a student
who has had four years’ preparation. M ajors in English may satisfy
the requirements with French, German, Latin, or Greek (see p. 7 1 ) .
German is required for majors in mathematics and the natural sci­
ences, Greek, for majors in L atin ; Latin, for majors in French. Stu­
dents who are thus required to begin a new language in college w ill
arrange if possible to do the elementary w ork prerequisite to admis­
sion to Course II outside their' regular college work.
W O R K O F T H E LA ST T W O YEARS
T h e work of the last two years in General Courses must include
a major, one related minor, and electives; in Honors, the w ork con­
sists of a major and two related minors; in both cases majors and
minors must fall in the same Division. Regulations for the degree
in General Courses and in Honors follow.
G E N E R A L CO U R SES
Each student in General Courses offers for graduation at least
four full courses or their equivalent in his major subject and at least
three full courses or their equivalent in his minor subject.

HONORS WORK

41

T h e satisfactory completion of sixteen full courses, or their equiva­
lent, normally constitutes the course requirement for a degree in
General Courses. A student may carry extra w ork with the ap­
proval of his course adviser and of the Committee on E xtra and
Prescribed W ork. In addition to completing his courses, the student
must present himself at the end of his Senior year for a comprehensive
examination in his major subject, set by the faculty of the major
department. HONORS W ORK
Students who have shown themselves capable of higher than aver­
age intellectual achievement are permitted to read for the bachelor’s
degree with honors during their last two college years. T h e theory
underlying honors w ork was outlined by President Aydelotte in his
inaugural address at ■ Swarthmore College on October 22, 1921, as
follow s:
“ W e are educating more students up to a fair average than
any other country in the world, but we are wastefully allowing
the capacity of the average to prevent us from bringing our best
„ up to the standards they could reach. O ur most important task
at the present is to check this waste. T h e method of doing it
seems clear: to give to those students who are really interested in
the intellectual life harder and more independent work than
could profitably be given to those whose devotion to matters of
the intellect is less keen, to demand of the former, in the course
of their four years’ work, a standard of attainment for the A .B .
degree distinctly higher than we require of them at present. . . .
W ith these abler students it would be possible to allow them to
specialize more because their own alertness of mind would of
itself be sufficient to widen their intellectual range and give them
that acquaintance with other studies necessary for a liberal point
of view. . . . O u r examinations should be less frequent and more
comprehensive, and the task of the student should be to prepare
himself for these tests through his own reading and through the
instruction offered by the college.”
Honors w ork is offered in four divisions* and is under the super­
vision of committees of the departments which compose those divisions.
Small groups of students meet their instructors for weekly confer*See P a g e 12.

ences; in scientific subjects they may spend much additional time in
the laboratory. T h e w ork is so planned that a student takes not more
than two subjects in any one semester. H e devotes half the time of his
two years of honors w ork to the subject of his major interest and
divides the other half between two related subjects within his division,
unless special exceptions are permitted under the rules of his division
or are approved by the Instruction Committee of the Faculty.
Honors students are excused from ordinary examinations and class
requirements and their work is not graded from semester to semester.
Instead, they are expected to spend their time in mastering a definitely
outlined field of knowledge, and at the end of their senior year to
take written and oral examinations given by examiners from other
institutions.! Upon the recommendation of these examiners candi­
dates are awarded the bachelor’s degree with honors, high honors,
or highest honors. In the case of a candidate whose w ork is not, in
the opinion of the examiners, of sufficiently high quality for honors,
his examination papers shall be returned to the division concerned.
T h e division shall consider the papers as a substitute for the compre­
hensive examination required for degrees in course and shall deter­
mine on the basis of these papers and a supplçmentary oral examinafHonors Examiners, May, 1935.

A candidate for admission to an honors division must file his ap­
plication in the spring of his sophomore year with the chairman of
his major departments, and must indicate the particular combination
of related subjects on which he wishes to be examined for his degree.
H is acceptance by the division depends in part upon the quality of
his previous work as indicated by the grades he has received but
mainly upon his seeming capacity for assuming the responsibility of
honors work. T h e names of successful candidates are announced later
in the spring. T h e major department w ill then arrange, in consultation
with the student, a definite program of subjects to constitute the field
of knowledge on which he w ill be examined at the end o f his senior
year. T h a t department is responsible for drawing up the original plan
of his work, for supervising his choice of seminars in all departments
and for keeping in touch with his progress from semester to semester.
T h e division is responsible for approval of the student’s original pro­
gram and for any subsequent changes in that program. Proposals
for cotabinations of subjects or departments not provided for in the
divisional arrangements must be submitted by the division to the In­
struction Committee of the Faculty for final approval.

SYSTEM O F GRADES
instructors report to the Dean’s office four times a year upon the
w ork of students in Courses. A t mid-semesters the reports are simply
in the terms, Satisfactory and Unsatisfactory. A t the end of each
semester formal grades are given in each course under the letter sys­
tem, by which A means excellent w o rk; B means good w o rk; C
means fair w o rk; D means poor work, and E shows failure. W sig­
nifies withdrawn and Cond. signifies conditioned in the course.
For graduation in General Courses, a C average is required; for
graduation in Honors work, the recommendation of the external exam­
iners. (See p. 42.)
T h e mark “ conditioned” indicates either ( 1 ) that a student has
done unsatisfactory w ork 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 students work
is incomplete in respect to specific assignments or examinations, but
otherwise satisfactory; when he completes it, he w ill remove his con­
dition.
Reports are sent to parents four times a year, and to students at
mid-semesters and at mid-year.
R E M O V A L O F C O N D IT IO N S
Members of 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 normally be made up in the semester immedi­
ately following that in which the work reported as conditioned was
done, and as early in the semester as possible; by special permission
of the instructor concerned the time for making 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 sec­
ond semester, or (2) it is considered necessary by the instructor that
the student should make up part or all of the class or laboratory work
involved at the time the course is repeated. A ny condition not made
up within a year from the time it is imposed shall thereafter have the
effect upon the records of an E , i. e., complete failure, which cannot be

Since 1933, Swarthmore College and three nearby institutions— the
University of Pennsylvania, Bryn M aw r College, and H averford
College— have been developing a co-operative plan which involves
some sharing of libraries and occasional interchange of instructors and
students. B y special arrangement students at Swarthmore may enroll
for work in one of the other three institutions.

Members of the Faculty w ill hold students responsible for regular
attendance at classes.
T h e last meeting before vacation and the first meeting after vaca­
tion in each course must be attended. T h e minimum penalty for
violation of this rule is probation: for absence at Thanksgiving, pro­
bation until the end of the semester; for absence at Christmas, pro­
bation until spring vacation; for absence at W ashington’s Birthday,
probation until M ay 1 ; and for absence at spring vacation, probation
for the rest of the year. T h e 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 Collection Com­

T h e Division of Engineering includes the three Departments of
Civil, Electrical, and Mechanical Engineering, and offers the degree
of Bachelor of Science in Engineering.
It is imperative that each student have a well-conceived, closely
knit, unified plan fitted to his capabilities and his interests. I f his
capacity lies in the direction of administrative, civil, electrical or me­
chanical engineering, his program w ill be pointed toward such a
professional career by taking a limited number of electives in his
chosen held. If, on the other hand, his abilities can be classified func­
tionally as leading to engineering developments, or research, or manage­
ment, or construction, or education, it is possible that all pertinent
engineering and non-technical subjects can be fitted to his individual
needs. T h e plan provides for liberality in courses and concentration
of effort where needed, and in' any case w ill give thorough training
of a fundamental nature.
A ll candidates are required to pass the prescribed courses shown on
page 66 and to complete 16 courses, at least two of which are in the
Divisions of the Humanities and Social Sciences. T h e normal expec­
tation is that the student w ill take four or five courses in these divi­
sions unless he shows marked ability in mathematics and the physical
sciences, in which case a limited election in the Division of M athe­
matics and the Natural Sciences w ill be encouraged.
Engineering students may elect but are not required to take courses
in foreign languages.

N . B.— Honors seminars in Greek and Roman history, conducted
by the department pf classics, are open to students majoring in history;
whenever possible the history department w ill co-operate with students
of foreign literature working on special topics in the history of their
particular country.

R equirements for M ajor and M inor
Requirements for students who major in history do not turn on
any particular total of courses, but rather upon the completion of
such courses in history, together with related courses in the social
sciences, literature, philosophy, the fine arts, etc., as, in the opinion
of the department, w ill facilitate a well-rounded preparation for the
Comprehensive Examinations in history. A reading knowledge of
French and some acquaintance with the principles of economic theory
are essential for an intelligent appreciation of history. M ost graduate
schools require a reading knowledge of French, German, and Latin
for any graduate degree in history.
T h e Comprehensive Examination for major students at the end
of their Senior year includes questions on the following topics: ( 1 )
European History, (2) British History, (3 ) T h e History of the
United States, (4) Ancient History. M ajo r students are expected to
answer general questions in each of these fields, and more specific
questions in at least two of the fields.
T h e survey-course in European history, the only course open to
Freshmen (except by special permission from the department) is a
prerequisite for any of the other courses in European or English
history, and for any Honors seminars in history. Students who expect
to major in history, in Honors seminars or regular courses, should
take European history in the Freshman year,'Am erican and English
history in the Sophomore year. Students who expect to include history
as a minor subject for Honors should take European history in Fresh­
man year, and either American or English history in Sophomore year
if possible. Course 2, the History of England (dr satisfactory com­
pletion of special reading and other requirements set by the depart­
m ent), is required for admission to any honors seminar in English
history. Course 3, T h e History of the United States (or satisfactory
completion of Special reading), is required for admission to any honors
seminar in American history.

1. Introduction to Music. M r. Swann.
H a lf course. (O m itted in 1935-3d.)

The object of this course is to help the average music lover and concert goer acquire a
better understanding of the music heard. It deals with the rudiments of music—scales, keys,
modulation, rhythm, time, etc., with the analysis of simple folk songs and the smaller musical
forms. It leads eventually to some acquaintance with the classic sonata and symphony, and
to a brief discussion of the modern orchestra. The lives and works of certain composers of
the 18th and 19th centuries are studied from first-hand documents, such as letters, auto­
biographies, and the testimony of contemporaries.
2. History of Music. M r. Swann.
H a lf course. (O m itted in 1935 -3 6 .)

This course deals chiefly with the pre-classic period. Starting with the mediaeval music
(plain chant, troubadours) it lays especial emphasis on the vocal polyphonic period (Pale­
strina) and the age of Bach and Haendel, with a detailed study of the B-minor mass and the
“ Messiah.” Discussions of various ideals of beauty (Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque) also
form part of this course.

N o previous acquaintance with music is required for M usic 1, but
the latter course or its equivalent is highly recommended to those en­
rolling in M usic 2.

H onors W o r k

Prerequisites: For admission to honors study in philosophy, the
requirement is at least two semester courses in the field.
Honors Subjects in Philosophy:
1. M oral P hilosophy : A seminar in ethics, systematic and historical.
Rashdall’s Theory of Good and E v il (2 vols.) is covered in detail. A
printed syllabus (75 pp.), containing lists of readings in the sources,
references in recent literature, topics for papers, and questions for
self-examination, has been prepared fo r this seminar.
2. G reek P hilosophy : Begins with the dawn of western philosophy in the
Milesian nature-philosophers, ends with a brief study of the Stoics and
Epicureans. T he larger part of the time is devoted to a reading of
Plato and Aristotle. Included in this reading are all the major dialogues
of Plato and selections from the Ethics, the Metaphysics, and the logical
writings of Aristotle. Recommended for students of literature.
3. H istory of M odern P hilosophy : T he development of modern thought
from Bacon and Descartes to Kant. If the group so desires, it may, with
the approval of the instructor, exchange a study of certain of the preKantian philosophers for a study of more recent philosophical move­
ments. T his seminar may appropriately be combined with work in any
of the three divisions.
4. C lassic P roblems of P hilosophy : The first half of the study is devoted
to the theory of knowledge; Montague’s ITays of Knowing is used as a
common basis and is supplemented by readings in contemporary philoso­
phy. In the second half of the semester, selected problems in metaphysics
are taken for discussion, including usually the mind-body problem, the
issue between the mechanist and the vitalist, the nature of the self, the
problem of freedom, and the relation between philosophy and religion.
5. L ogic and Scientific M ethod: T h e subject is pursued from the point of
view , and from the level of difficulty, presented by Joseph’s Introduction
to Logic. Students are expected to master the manipulations of the
traditional formal logic and to supplement Joseph’s discussion of
theory by readings in M ill, Bradley, Jevons and other logicians.

88

SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN
6. A esthetics : A study, partly historical, partly systematic, of the philoso­
phies of beauty, including theories of tragedy and comedy, of the
sublime, and of standards of criticism. Readings in the sources, ancient
and modern; occasional visits to the art collections of Philadelphia.
Recommended fo r students of literature.
7. Social E th ics : Prerequisite, a course or a seminar in ethics. A study
of some of the pressing problems of the present time in the light of
ethical theory: political conservatism vs. liberalism ; changing relations
between races, sexes, and nations; the issues presented by pacifism,
socialism, censorship, moral scepticism. Recommended for students in
the social sciences.

Philosophy is a subject that has proved particularly w ell adapted
to study by die honors method, and advanced work in it is done chiefly
through honors seminars.

REQUIREMENTS FOR WOMEN
Three hours of Physical Education each week are required of all
resident and non-resident women throughout their college course.
Every student is given a physical and medical examination at the
opening of each college year and is advised at that time by the college
physician which activities she may enter.
Each student is allowed five (5 ) absences from class during the
fall season, ten (10 ) during the winter season and five (5 ) during
the spring season. These cover absences for every reason except those
incurred while the student is in the infirmary or ill at home. Each
unexcused absence in excess of the numbers mentioned above shall
be penalized by one extra class hour for one season.
T h e program is divided into three terms: fall, opening of college
to Thanksgiving recess; winter, Thanksgiving recess to spring recess;
spring recess to June.
First-year students are required to attend a course of orientation
lectures, given once a week during the first semester.
Regulation costumes should be ordered before college opens. Blanks
for this purpose w ill be sent out from the Deans’ office to all incoming
students.

Full course.
Three lectures and one laboratory period weekly together with such conferences as prove
desirable. This course is a prerequisite for all other work in physics whether in course or in
honors. It is also required for students majoring in engineering and for students expecting
to study medicine.
2. Advanced General Physics. Mr. Garrett.
Half coursetfirst semester.
Three conferences and one laboratory period weekly. The material for this course is
drawn from the fields of mechanics, hydrodynamics, the kinetic theory, thermodynamics,
and modern physics. It is recommended for physics majors and should also meet the needs
of students in course who are majoring in the engineering and the science divisions.
3. Modern Physics. Mr. Wright.
Second semester.
These lectures in the field of modern physics present in an elementary fashion the progress
in physics during the past quarter century with some indication of directions in which active
growth is now going on. They center around the nature of matter, electricity, and radiation
and include such experimental subjects as positive and negative ions, X-rays, radioactivity,
spectra, and the photo-electric effect. They carry no credit and their primary aim is to
stimulate curiosity and to provide some familiarity with authors who set forth these matters
in their fullness. An elementary knowledge of general physics is presumed.
H onors W ork

I. Physical Optics. Mr. Wright.
Based on Robertson’s Introduction to Physical Optics, The laboratory work includes the
measurement of thin and thick lenses, the intercomparison of wave lengths by prism,
grating, and interference spectrographs both visually and photographically, the computation
of series constants, and the measurement of various interference and diffraction patterns.
II. Electricity and Magnetism. Mr. Garrett.
Based principally on Page and Adams* Principles of Electricity. It covers electrostatics,
magnetism, electro-magnetic phenomena, electronics and some applications. It is accom­
panied by laboratory measurements involving direct, alternating, and electronic currents,
static charges and permanent magnets.
III. Atomic Physics. Mr. W right and Mr. Garrett.
Readings in the fields of gaseous conduction, photoelectricity, thermionic emission,
X-rays, radioactivity and atomic structure with accompanying quantitative experiments.
IV. General Physics. Mr. Wright.
This seminar is given for majors in the biological sciences. It emphasizes the fields of
dynamics of solids and liquids, the kinetic theory, electricity and modern physics. The
readings are supplemented by experiments.

M ajor and M inor R equirements
Students majoring in physics w ill ordinarily be expected to read
for honors but in special cases the degree may be taken in course.
In either event the following courses are to be completed by the end
of the second year: two courses in mathematics, one in chemistry,
one in physics, and the second course in German. T h e half course in
advanced general physics is recommended.
O ne full course in physics and two in mathematics are prerequisite
to honors w ork in physics when taken as a minor. T h e mathematics
requirements may be somewhat reduced for students who carry only
the seminar in general physics.

T h e work is so arranged that the field of Zoology is treated as a
unified whole rather than as a group of more or less related sub­
jects. T h u s the nervous system is studied for a period of some months
from the standpoint of its embryology, histology, comparative anatomy
and physiology, as w ell as its relation to animal behavior and evolu­
tionary concepts. A similar procedure is followed for the other sys­
tems that make up living organisms. T h e honors seminars are in this

the first two years the follow ing: One course in chemistry, one course
in mathematics, one and a half courses in Zoology, and two courses
in German (or their equivalent). A n additional course in chemistry
together with a course in physics provides a more satisfactory prep­
aration.
Pre-medical students must complete two courses in chemistry, one
course in mathematics, one course in physics, and one course in zoology.
In addition to these courses major students are required to complete
two and one half courses from the following electives during the
junior and senior years: Embryology, Invertebrate Zoology, Histology,
Genetics, Experimental Zoology, Advanced Physiology. Under cer­
tain conditions a special course in Psychology or one in advanced
Botany w ill be acceptable.
Students who are reading for Honors take four seminars in the
department during the last two years.
For admission to minor Honors work in Zoology one full course is
a prerequisite.
T h e attention of students preparing for the medical profession is
directed to the necessity of fulfilling the admission requirements of
the medical school they plan to attend.
